MAIL TRIBUNE
Faced with a buyers' market
for the first time since before
the war, landlords are facing up
the fact they have to "sell" their
wares. 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

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

group.
Meantime with Congress try

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.
