78th convention here, was the first
official acknowledgment ot govern

ers have blamed a shortage ot

reported, were down to a rate of :
270,000 a year, not seriously below
the 1.U7.000 in uez. But a warper

said. ' .s.
This may mean sotm difficulty -
next year, the head ot the Housing

on. in : keeping residential coo- -structton
tn to level consistent
with a sound economy. He told
the bankers:
I submit to you the very serious
reminder that if we are unable to
maintain a reasonably high con
tinuing volume of homo produc
tlou which means en adequate
continuing flow of mortgage credit
we may be required to ' resort
to some means of assistance to
avoid unnecessary wrenches to oar
entire eoonoiny. ...
"On this somewhat sober note X
suggest In sincere candor that tho -
bankers weigh carefully the prob
lem they share with hoosers. To.
getner yon have too opportunity
to demonstrate that private Indus,
try can and will handle the Job
witnout a return to airect govern

In Harmony witn tne -sound

administration, cole sain, tne nous,

loans and took other steps to free
the mortgage market from, federal

"A readjustment period was ex
pected, and most certainly has .
occurred," he declared.
"Frankly, lt is more of a read.
justment than was contemplated
either in or out of government,
and there are many housers and
many bankers who express con
cern about the present situation," .
. Builders' organizations in widely
spread areas nave complained of
a shortage of housing credit. The
national Association of Home
Builders has forecast curtailed
activity and layoffs In the con.
structlon industry unless lenders
make more funds available. ' :
Cole said he realized that "eb
normally high" demands for credit
from many areas of the economy
are competing with housing; he
voiced hope that this pressure
would ease in the near future.

Utah) called on the bankers to
support and defend the adminis

he said, protect the average citizen
and aim at "the greatest good for
the .greatest number." - 1
Despite some protests ever

said In prepared remarks, the
rates are now "more nearly nor
mal than were the artificially low
rates of the past 20 years." '
Wendell T. Burns, president ot

senior vice president of the North,

for the citizen who saves. .
"No longer is he the forgotten

Burns declared. "The administra

mined to stabilize the dollar and
to encourage an expanding econ

Another . banker assured the

policy ot the administration will
be eased promptly if a business
recession should loom. -
