THE NATION TODAY AND THEN By JAMES MARLOW 'WASHINGTON, Feb. is an ABC explanation of why the government's new housing program is aimed at keeping down costs and prices on new homes. Briefly, it's' this: There was a building boom after the last war, with soaring prices. Then there was a bust. A lot of people lost their homes and the money they invested in them.

The government wants to avoid a repetition of that now. Yet-the need and demand for new homes now are greater than after the last war- So the government fears the danger of soaring price controls are just that much The figures given here are all from those which OPA boss Chester Bowles has given Congress. To show what the government is afraid of now, he showed what happened after the last war. During World War home 1 building dropped, just as it did in this war. When the war building boom started.

Example: In 1918 only 174,000 housing units were built. But in 1919 there were 405,0.00. This is what happened to costs and prices in the years, after the end of-World War The price of building materials went up 126 per cent; building costs went up 112 per cent. Although in the first boom of 1919 about new houses were built, in 1920 only 247,000 built Bowles explains: "Because in 1919-1920 construction costs soared, buyers grew timid," building When construction costs fell, people began buying again and building was resumed. "Although.

the building boom was resumed and lasted several years, construction costs stayed far above the level of other prices. Carrying-charges bore heavily upon home-buyers. "Home foreclosures mounted even during the prosperous late twenties. The industry priced it- DON'T "PAY DOUBLE FOR WHAT YOU EAT If you, too, waste money for food you oncf enjoyed, and pay again In suffering stomach and ulcer pains caused by oxcess acid, try Udga for quick relief.

"Home building's slump-was a major factor in bringing on the great crash' of 1929. From 1929 through 1934 more than a million families lost their homes through foreclosure." In this war the government had still over the prices of scarce building materials.

Some makers of these materials protest they can't produce at present prices. Yet the government wants the materials produced. Now then to encourage production but keep down the prices of the materials which, if allowed to increase, would mean higher prices in new homes? The government doesn't have actual price control of new houses but it's trying to keep down the prices this way: Since many building materials are scarce, the government can allow them to used only by builders of low-priced houses. Wyatt wants most of the materials to go into homes for veterans costing less than $6,000. HABIT PAUL, Theophil Pfeifer's five year old' Jersey cow produced her third set of twin calves.

Carl Jones brought to the attention of the Council the danger of laxity in the matter of rifles and air rifles, as well as other firearms, in the hands of children, particularly within the city limits. He criticized the city's police commissioner and department, charging failure to enforce ordinances covering the problem, and asked for serious attention to the matter. Police Commissioner Bert E.

He pointed out that i the police 'are attempting to con- 1 trol the situation, but that the task I cannot be done by the police' alone.
