Surviving are the husband, Wil Air Crashes Rescue OBITUARY Markets Today New Troy School Board President-Dies In Arizona Low Rents Cause Hoarding Of Housing, naney Asserts draw? Only one seems possible, namely that a lot of people must be using more housing than formerly. People who have homes must be hanging on to more room, so that those who haven't any find more and more difficulty. Again the facts are plain: Houses and apartments occupied by only one person have increased 30 per cent in five years! Two-person establishments have increased 22 per cent.

Homes occupied by six or more persons have dropped 22 per cent. Naturally, the number of rooms occupied per family have increased. The average number of rooms per four persons has risen from 5.8 to 6.3, or nine per cent. CLEARLY, somebody is hoarding housing! The reason is clear: In the five years incomes doubled. But rent ceilings rose only four per cent, and actual rents paid probably averaged only 30 per cent higher.

So rent became a smaller part of the average family budget, and tenants spread out or moved to larger quarters. Thus when the vets come home, the housing is used up. It Is estimated that if only one in eight of the homes wth 2 or less occupants would take in Just one more person, ConfinU6 To Lower Levels Prices Decline Three Or More Points Today NEW YORK. Jan. 13-(AP)-The stock market resumed Its downward course today without being subjected to any great pressure.

Dealings, fairly active at the opening, subsequently slowed occasionally. Declines of fractions to three or 'more points were wide spread near the fourth hour with few comebacks in evidence. Assorted amusements and liquors hit bottom for the past year. Lack of bids, rather than liquidating urgency, contributed to the cloudy trend situation. Potential replacement purchasers held aloof and accounts were lightened by skeptics regarding business prospects, taxes and labor legislation.

At 1946-47 lows were Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century-Fox, American Distilling and Park Tilford. Schenley, biggest loser of the past week, recovered moderately but failed' to follow through. In the falling division were Eastman Kodak, Johns-Manville, Allied Chemical, Du Pont, Union Carbide, Douglas Aircraft, American Telephone, General Motors, Chrysler, U. S. Steel, Goodrich, Scars Roebuck.

Montgomery Ward, International Harvested. Kennecott, American Smelting, American Can, International Telephone, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Gerat Northern. Railway bonds sagged. Wholesale butter prices tumbled. Grains were steady and cotton lower.

Wheat Up Cent In Strong Mart CHICAGO. Jan. 13-CAP) -Mill buying and short covering sent wheat up for gains extending to about a cent today, further reflecting trade expectations that the government's export program will be expanded next month, Oats were steady, although not as strong during trading as wheat. Corn was lower at the start but strength in grains soon brought about" a good rally in the yellow cereal. Trading was more active than last week, and wheat near the end of the first hour was i-l cents higher.

Continuance of tariff -reducing reciprocal trade agreements in some form. Beyond these points, all of which seem likely to arouse somecontro' versy in Congress, the Michigan senator also urged a policy shift in China, saying the United States now should support the coalition of non-Communist parties backing China's new constitution. THIS EVIDENTLY WOULD MEAN abandoning the policy which Marshall followed during his stay in China a policy of equality between the Communists and the Nationalist Kuomintang which to date has run the government. Moreover, in an apparent break with prevailing State department policy, Vandenberg also demanded that the long delayed Pan-American conference on hemispheric defense be held at Rio de Janeiro in the Immediate future.

She was a member of Plymouth Congregational church, the Ladies' Aid -society, the Mothers of World War II, and BY LEWIS HANIY Professor Of Economics, New York University Certain facts and arguments have recently come my attention which pat an entirely different face on the housing problem and rent control.

Mny people have been inclined to hang on to government rent fixing. They see an apparent housing shortage, and fear run-away rents. Bat isn't this much like the meat situation, when that ill-starred Truman board decided to put OPA back on the Job last summer? That is what started me thinking. (Yon will remember how the return of price-fixing made the meat shortage worse, till finally the whole thing blew up.) Then the following facts were called to my attention. There is much more housing in this country now than there was before the war.

In 1940, there were 34.8 million homes and dwellings. In 1945, the number increased to 37.6 million, a gain of IS per cent. Thus no failure to increase the supply of housing is responsible for the apparent shortage. But how about the number of families in the country? Maybe these have so multiplied that hous ing hasn't kept up. The facts, however, show no such condition.

The number of families gained only 6.5 per cent in the five-year period, while the number of housing units increased nearly eight per cent. Nor has population shifting or city crowding been a general cause, even in urban areas. In non-farm areas, dwelling units increased 14.5 per cent, against a population increase of only 12.3 per cent. Not even the well-known rapid Increase in marriages can explain the "shortage." The number of "married females" increased only 11.3 percent, or less than the housing supply.

Five persons were killed when two light planes rammed together as they began landing ap-roacheg over the Miami Aviation Center airport.

Two others died in the crash of an Army training plane near Cocoa. Fla. North Miami Police Chief Karl Engel said that in the accident here the pilots "apparently saw each other at the same time and both pulled their craft up, crashing about 100 feet above the crossroads of the field. The victims were listed as Mr. and Mrs.

Names of the victims were temporarily withheld. A TWO-SEATED PRIVATE PLANE crashed near suburban Van Dyke, near Detroit, killing "fts occupants, an Army Air Forces veteran and a student pilot. said the plane went into a tailspin about 200 feet from the ground. Two dramatic rescues of persons involved in' airplane accidents took place in widely separated areas of the globe. Wildly cheering crewmen of the seaplane tender Pine Island, part of the U.

Three of the companions were killed when the plane hit an ice barrier. Off northern Luzon, in the Philippines, a seafth plane led a surface vessel 40 miles off its course and brought about the rescue of 36 survivors of a Fr East Air Transport which crashed In- the South China sea.
