NAWTA Areo Meeting

The question so many have been asking lately, 'owhere Did the [,enders Go?" was the topic at the National-American Wholesale Lumbermen Association's meeting in Los Angeles. The meeting was one of -any that NAWLA has held across the countnthis fall.

The man answering the question was Robert D. Norton of Coast Federal Savings, who said three factors caused the housing fund shortage. They were (1) Sharp reduction of money going into sar'ings, (2) Other investments being competition, (3) Federal government controls on savings and loan associations.

Builders, realtors and money lenders are pressuring the government to let the mone-v return to the real estate market, he said.

Norton foresees the end of the housing sulolus within the nexl year. He feels the real estate business will return to normal by mid-1967.
