BROOKLYN'S MAN OF THE WEEK: Trump the Builder Plays Mothers as Ace Cards Br RICHARD J. ROTH The answer, according to Fred Trump, is simple: 'We realize that the renting honeymoon is over. We're attempting to make a real step forward to attract the type of tenant who will appreciate these extra services.

Our innovations, we hope, will make for a happier housewife, a happier home life, and a resultant happier community." Fred Trump was born in the Bronx on Oct. 11, 1905, the son of a former Klondike restaurant operator. After the gold rush of Mother's Day is more than a once-a-year proposition so far as Fred Trump is concerned. The builder of Brooklyn's two new housing giants, Shore Haven at Ben-sonhurst and peach Haven at Brighton, tries to keep mother in mind the other 364 days as well. And with good reason.

Trump has found that, while it may be papa, who pays, it's mama who makes the decision on where the money is going in mora than four out of every five apartment rentals. "In 85 percent of our rentals the final decision has depended on the woman's say-so," the 44-year-old former carpenter's helper pointed out in his field office at the 98 had subsided the elder Trump had dab bled on a small scale in the real estate business.

Her sketch is one of 112,520 which were submitted for the Started in Queens Village The Trumps moved to Woodhaven shortly after Fred was born and he attended Richmond Hill High School.

At 18, following graduation, he took a job as a carpenter's helper, supplementing this practical experience with courses in building construction three nights a week in the Y. M. C. A. Then he went out on his own.

The first Trump homes began to go up in Queens shortly afterward, about 400 or 500 one-family units in the Queens Village area. Then, after 1932, when home building was at an ebb, Trump was awarded, in Federal Court, the mottgage servicing for tfiebank-rupt Lehrenkrauss financial empire. rapidly rising Beach Haven development. "The husband cares only about the con venience of transpor tation and whether his wife likes the apartment." Emphasis on Labor Saving With those statistics firmly in mind Trump built the Shore Haven development and is rushing to completion the Beach Haven development with more than a nod in the direction of what he terms "the woman's point of view." The emphasis is on labor-saving conveniences end other features designed to appeal to the distaff side of the family, particularly to mothers with young children. Pittsburgh exhibit.

Also planned are a "courtesy car" bus service to the beach for those who prefer to ride, and ultra-violet clothing driers in the basement laundry rooms in each of the 23 buildings, thus eliminating the roof driers which, the builder declared, are "left over from an old-fashioned era."

Other parking spaces will be provided on the landscaped grounds, as well as playground and bench areas, with only 20 percent of the project covered with buildings. Heated garages, with a total capacity of 650 cars, are being constructed in the basement of every building. 'Renting Honeymoon Over' Why all this consideration for the residents? an amazed veteran of the housing fhortaga might ask, and in this case, did. This took up much of his time for a year. And he operated one of the first self-service food markets, it up into a profitable large-volume business before leasing it to a weH-known food chain.

Sold 78 Homes in 20 Days In 1935 Fred Trump moved his operations to Brooklyn, picking a site at Avenue and Kings Highway. On Nov. 10 he completed the model home; within the next 20 days he sold all 78 of the $3,990 homes, a price which was then about half the average rate. Those 78 homes have been followed by close to 2,500 in the last 15 years in Flat-bush, Manhattan Beach end Bensonhurst. During the war he built 1,400 apartments for war workers at Norfolk and Newport News, and Chester, Pa.

Shore Haven was opened in June, 1948, and Beach Haven, begun last November, will be completed in a phenomenal year's time. Much of Trump's success in his Brooklyn building can be attributed to his pioneering in the field of pile-driving, which permits construction on filled-in land. Beach Haven, for example, is built on land that was once marshy. It is atop 55-foot creosoted logs, each of which can sustain a 25-ton load, five times the required burden. The good-looking builder was married in 1936 to a Scottish-born girl whom he met at a party.
