Bt the law of supply and de mand1 does not seem to be having much effect on rents. Though there are apartments aplenty, 9smts remain high.

They haven't gone to the extremes of overstocked auto dealers but they do have a num ber of gimmicks. Some Have Pools Reluctant to lower rents be cause if high costs and rising taxes, the landlords are relying instead on "fringe" inducements. There is the "prior occupancy clause" written in many leases by which a tennant may get as much as a month's free rent for agreeing to let the property for six months or more. Many news apartments have swimming pools and adjacent playgrounds. Apartment owners are decorating to suit their ten nants and a lew are offering free utilities. Notable exception to the trend is Seattle, where real estate men report, rents are rising slightly and there is no increase in the 'number of vacancies. San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland, report gradual to marked increases in vacancies especially among the cheaper rentals. San Fran cisco aoneara to be the only city reacting with a decline in rents. out unusual and costing no more than $13,000. They cut this fig ure by doing about half of the labor themselves. o Architects and engineers have been designing in West Coast jods since a century ago, when Bouglao iir timbers were speci fied tor all kinds of heavy con struction in booming San Fran cisco. In 161 the region's lum ber industry set forth on its first national product advertising campaign, directed at the con sumer. World War I stopped the program. Ten years later the millmen were not only advertis ing again but were in the thick of the biggest national architec tural competition ever promoted by the lumber industry any where. Tb design that resulted Were still being ordered regularly by consumers in 1937, when the large home of wood was left to go it alone, while trade promo tion Was concentrated on the low-cost home of lumbe?) with FHA financing. Again t world war interven ed. At its end the advertising and promotional program ofJthe West Coasts Lumbermen's association was started and has grown suc cessfully, year by year. So that as of now national magazines themselves are developing the story. Salk Vaccine Distribution Set o Washington U.R ijhe government is releasing 846,000 dtises of Salk anti-polio vaccine to the states under the new vol untary distribution plan where by (4ha states will decide who gets it o The Health, Eductation and Wedfare Department said Sun day the vaccine may be used either by public agencies, such as local health departments, or turned over to physicians for vaccination of private patients. No federal strings are tied to the -distribution. But state ficials are expected toffollow recommendations of the National Advisory Council that priority be gen 'tb the 5-through-9 age group. Meantime with Congress try ing to adjourn, legislation to buy Salk polio vaccine for children whose families are unable to pgy awaited a House floor vote. The Senate already has ap proved a rnore liberal bill to provide federal funds for free Salk shots in all states, without restricting them to those unable to pay. Tliere Was a possibL-ity that th legislation might be caught in the adjournment rush.
