For Home Builders
Seattle, Feb. 21 H. V.
Simpson, executive vice presi
dent of the West Coast Lumber
men's association, issued a state
ment today that "the lumber
price amendmen announced in
Washington by the OPA is a
postwar adjustment to the re
quirements of home builders for
lumber, and has not been given
as compensation for lumber
wage increases."
He said the OPA is "straight
ening out a wartime distortion
of lumber prices. It is akin to
the cancellation of military lum
ber orders after V-J day and
other measures for lumber trade
restoration.
"The new prices for certain
essential items or home build
ing lumber will encourage west
coast mills to take a normal risk
in supplying their old friends
and customers in the retail lum
ber and building construction
fields."
A ceremonial will be staged
when construction work starts
on the co-operative apartment
court project being promoted on
North Church street some time
between March 1 and 5, Vance
McDowell, one of the leaders of
the enterprise, said Thursday.
Officiating at the event, he said,
would be Douglas McKay. The
co-bperative veterans group ex
pects to build 30 family hous
ing units on the property. De
velopment of a similar project
on Orchard Heights in Polk
county is held in abeyance. The
veterans have an option on the
property.

Ms1 c .'
Paul A. Porter
New Chief of
Price Controls
Washington, Feb. 21 VP) The
senate today, by unanimous con
sent, confirmed Paul A. Porter
the new chief of price controls.
Only a half dozen minutes of
discussion .was required for ac
tion. Porter has been chairman
of the federal communications
commission.
Majority Leader Barkley (D
Ky.) said speed was necessary
because Chester Bowles is leav
ing OPA to become stabilization
director.
Senator Wherry (R., Neb.)
expressed hope that accent
would be placed on the necessity
of getting production of goods
which have been scarce.
He suggested a "flexible
pricing system."
Senator Reed (R., Kans.) told
the senate he expects "definite
improvement" in OPA.
Wherry and Reed have been
among the most frequent critics
of OPA's handling of price con
trols. The senate banking committee
had recommended confirmation
of a short time before, after a
brief hearing.
Porter told the senators, each
of whom seemed to have some
special cause for OPA to un
dertake, that "every effort will
be made to speed consideration"
of cases in which there are com
plaints that OPA causes business
men to lose money.
Rent Control
(Continued from Page 1)
The new Home and Property
Owners association expects to
affiliate with the Home and Pro
perty Owners of America which,
according to Mr. Ulrich, is affil
iated with the National Associa
tion of Real Estate Boards. In
brief, the local organization pro
poses to control rentals and val
ues of its members by voluntary
action and without federal inter
vention. It will have a board of
directors of seven members,
each representing some phase of
property ownership, including
the lumber industry, hotels, the
aters and housing, and one mem
ber will represent veterans.
Further, the organization pro
poses to have several qualified
appraisers, and claims available
at present five appraisers who
are war veterans. Values etb
lished re expected to reach rent
als of both residence and busi
ness property, and if necessary,
sales values.
To quote from the minutes of
the meeting held Wednesday:
"Assessed valuations of prop
erties should be kept in line-
and it should be the function of
this organization to level this
matter. Some properties are too
high, some too low. A fair valua
tion to be taken into considera
tion in this respect instead of a
blanket raise on assessment val
uations, for once the valuation
Is raised it would be a very dif
ficult problem to have it lower
ed. It is very probable that we
will see a decrease in valuation
of properties."

Asked if the resolution adop

would be sounded out before a
request went in to the regional
office.

with the assistance of Miss Mary
