Price Is Right If The Home Is
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
combination of increased
demand and diminshed supply
makes this a good time to sell an
existing single-family home in a
well-maintained neighborhood, a
recent survey indicates.
The National Association of
Real Estate Boards, in a survey
of 166 member firms
thorughout the country, found
demand for such homes is up

moderately in 34 per cent, about
i the same as last year in 13 per

At the same time, volume of
listings of these same homes was
down moderately in 39 per cent
of the areas, about the same in
30 per cent, down substantially
in 13 per cent, and up in only 18
per cent.
While environment always has
been important as a market
factor, NAREB pointed out, it
occupies a particularly
prominent place in housing
demand currently. “More
sophisticated than his
counterpart of the past, the
average buyer often is a previous
owner or a young person who
grew up in a single-family home
environment. Although scientific
developments have increased
comfort and reduced manual
labor in the modern home,
location continues to hold a
priority place in home selection
to most families.”
The NAREB report found for
homes built prior to 1950
locational advantage is a major
influence on value.

(■iiii Control Legislation
Appears Dead For 2 Years
By WILLIAM B. MEAD
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Gun
control appears a dead issue in
Congress this year And perhaps
next, barring another dramatic
assassination.
Ironically, the final blow may
have been dealt by the National
Violence Commission’s proposal
under which the government
would confiscate about 90 per
cent of the 24 million privately
owned pistols in the United
States.
“They’ve proved that the gun
nuts were right,” said one
congressional source who
worked on gun control for two
years. “When this whole flap
started, the immediate reaction
from the gun lovers was, ‘You
louse, you’re trying to get my
gun.’ And here it is.”
There was little congressional
impetus anyway. The Nixon
administration, asked to testify
on various gun control bills,
told a Senate subcommittee this
week it was against all
proposals aimed at requiring
registration of guns and licens-

Moreoever, the administra
tion signalled its belief gun
control required little attention.
To testify for the Justice
Department, it sent Donald E.
Santarelli, an associate deputy
attorney general. Santarelli’si
relatively low rank contrasted
with gun control testimony by
two attorneys general, Nicholas
Deß. Katzenbach and Ramsay
Clark, during the Johnson
administration.
Last year Congress passed its.
first significant gun legislation
since the gangster era, a bill
banning most interstate gun
sales and all interstate ma£

congressional fire had been felt
by public outcry from the
assassinations of Dr. Martin

Luther King Jr. and Sen.
Robert F. Kennedy.
After Kennedy’s death, Pres
ident Lynlon B. Johnson "
created the commission on
violence. Its chairman is Milton
S. Eisenhower, brother of the
late president. , ‘
This year, according to FBI
statistics, violent crime is
increasing, with murder up 7
per cent and armed robbery up -
27 per cent. But there is no
fresh blood from a famous
figure, a fact even gun control
crusaders like Sen. Thomas J. ,
Dodd, D-Conn., recognized as a
legislative liability.
“No admonition will create a
groundswell of public support,’
Dodd said. “It apparently takes
the death of a beloved leader to
temporarily do that.”
