center pilot at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., set a new world
altitude record of 103,395.5 ft. in a Lockheed F-I04C Star,
fighter. The Starfighter topped a 98,560-ft. altitude mark
claimed only nine days ago by the U. S. Navy with a Mc

Decline in housing starts seen
in 1960 due to high money rates
By Elmer C. Waller
UPI Staff Writer
NEW YORK tUPD-Just about
every progne.sticator who has
given his blueprint of load has
said housing starts will decline
in the new year, mostly because
of high money rates.
And now conies an industrialist
who says just the opposite. lie
looks for a small rise numerically
in the housing starts and a bigger
rise in dollar value of housing.
David 0. Kennedy, president of
Kcnlile, Inc., says that in 1959
housing starts will set an all-time
high in dollar volume.
"Next year," he says, "larger
and betler houses will be a con-

He believes that young couples
will play increasingly prominent
roles as consumers as the popu
lation expands.
"They are going to lake over
the limelight. These couples,
under 30 years of age, are the
backbone of the market for con
sumer goods.
"There has been and' will con

When that time comes, will the li

By Mikt Mahoney
Bulletin Staff Writer
Two weeks ago, the Bend city
commission, like any teenager,
had a problem. So, as a teenager
might write to Ann Landers, the
city commission wrote to its own
Ann Landers, the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission.
Wednesday the commission re
ceived a reply. And. like many
replies from Ann Landers, it was
not very satisfying.
The problem was twofold. If
the commission approes license
applications for several liquor-by-tbe
drink establishments, does i,t
jeopardize the chances of the ap
plicants by giving the OLCC the
impression it is rubber-stamping
applications'.' And if applications
are continually turned down be
cause of the quota system, how
can the commission ensure that
the applicant who was first in line
gets the first available license?
Answers Given
The answer to the first question
was: no. The answer to the second
was: it cajj't.
The letter from the OLCC ad
ministrator, V. G. Van Bergen, ex
plained that "the strength of your
endorsement is not lost on the
number you endorse but, rather,
it is lost on the quality of those
which you endorse, whether they
be new applications or renewals
of existing outlets." This was the
answer to the first question.
The quota for liquor licenses is
determined by state law: one out
let for every 2000 persons: Bend,
with eight outlets, is way over its
share. Consequently, license appli
cations from Bend are turned
I such as Uie D&D, on Bond Street,
which has applied and been re
I fused seven times; or to a relative
I newcomer such as the Rustic Inn,
'on South Third, only on jls first
! round'.'
Based on Chance
The OLCC letter indicates that
the decision will be based on pure !
chance. When the liquor control !
! commission decides to grant an-i
other license in the Bend area, I
the next qualified appl.cant to ap-1
pear will snag it.
So the city commission has no
way of regulating this. But it '
would appear that the danger of
weakening its chances by endors
ing too many applications is
small.
An interesting sidelight of the
, letter was its suggestion that, if
I the city feels it isn't -getting
i enough service from the existing
outlets, it should require them to
stay open longer hours, perhaps
the maximum legally allowable,
to make more service available.

"The level of building in this
country since World War II.
while high, has by no means
satisfied the market," he says.
CNP To Set Record
"Meanwhile, the lop economists
of the country, both in govern
ment and industry, agree that the
Gross National Product will go
over (he $500 billion mark within
the next few months.
"More than a million more
households will have 1960 incomes
of more than $5,000. incomes which
should qualify them for new home
purchases."
He believes the credit pinch is
approaching its peak.
He notes that higher interest
rates did not place a severe drag
on the market this year., and he
doubts if Ihey will in 19fi0.
Kennedy believes that in the
near future it will he easier for
families to trade In their older
'houses for larger, better, and
more expensive ones.
He holds the mass market no
longer- means tasteless market
in this country. The family seg
ment with $5,000 yearly earnings,
which will buy a home with a
maximum $13,000 mortgage, is de
manding new housing, he says.
' Population Boom
"By this time next year," Ken
nedy says, "the population is ex
pected to increase to more than
ISO million against 170 million
currently.
"Americans are marrying
younger than ever, men at 22 and
women at 20. And the Census
Bureau gives obvious reasons
increased economic prosperity
and greater job security.

"Furthermore, the decentraliza
tion of industry, puslted by the
tremendous federal highway pro
gram from coast to coast, and
industry's broadening plant expan
sion, will shift many thousands of
workers into areas new to them,
creating a still greater demand
for new homes, house furnishings,
and the myriad services revolving
around the American home."

PORTLAND (UPD- Unions af

I ly Central Lalxir Council voted
Thursday night to sludy a pro
posal iu sian a lanor-sponsorea
daily newspaper in Portland.
Portland carpenters originally
proposed that unions pool their
resources to try to buy the Ore
gon Journal, but Journal Publish
er Wm. W. Knight declared em
phatically that the paper was not
lor sale.
- The Council said It would be a
tough job to raise money for a
newspaper.
Rene Valentine, international
representative of the International
Typographical Union, said he
thought such a paper might be a
success, but pointed out that they
sometimes fail to get money and
advertising to sustain them.
Both Portland newspapers The
Journal and the Oregonian have
been publishing joint editions
since a strike by the Stereotypers
Union Nov. 10.
Building bought
by Harvey Drake
Harvey Drake, who is associa
ted with his brother, Harry, in the
Drake Auto Shop, is the new own
er of the building which, formerly
housed Consolidated Freightways,
and three lots on the corner of
Irving Avenue and Harriman
Street.
Drake bought the property this
week from Terminal Freightways,
Mcnlo Park. Calif., for $18,500. It
has been used by Consolidated for
storage, since the freight com
pany occupied its new property
on E. First Street about two years
ago.
Harry Drake, owner of the ma
chine shop business, probably will
move the shop into the new quart
ers, his brother said. At present
the machine shop is located next
door, at 933 Harriman SI reel, in
a building owned by Myrl P. Hoo
ver, president of Pacific Trail
ways. The building just purchased by
Drake is a stone structure, 50 by
100 feet. One of Bend's early-day
developments, it was built 40 or
45 years ago. '
The transaction was handled by
Hap Taylor Realty.
