NAHB President Urges Housing Bill
San Francisco.-Addressing a luncheon of the first annual Pacific Builders' Conference in the Sheraton-Palace here, July 8, Carl T. Mitnick, president of the Natl. Assn. of Home Builders, told his audience he was returning immediately to Washington to fight for a compromise housing bill. He said that without new legislation there might be chaos in the construction industry. He had begun an attack on President Eisenhower's veto of the bill at a meeting the previous day.
Other developments at the Conference included a prediction of a tighter money market the rest of the year by a group of western bankers and mortgage experts, and a prediction of the use of more aluminum in house construction by Builder Earl W. ("Flat-top") Smith, who also foresaw faster development of "new products for better homes."
