"In our own country, we enjoy more than 200 square feet of housing space for every man, woman and child. A family of four will average five rooms of housing." Owners Warned of Threat to Rights Owners of real estate in California are the largest group of citizens in our state with a common interest. These people have no over-all organization through which they can function and receive information vital to their property rights, according to a report received yesterday by Elizabeth Arnold, secretary of the Anaheim Realty Board, from Earl Snyder, chairman of the committee on public relations of the California Real Estate association. "This is a deplorable situation which should be corrected just as soon as possible," Snyder said, in urging realtors and home owners to cooperate in establishing such a local group. "Property rights are being continually whittled away," he said, "by governmental rules and regulations which have the full force of law. The trend must be stopped before restrictions become so prohibitive as to destroy the rights which we have always felt were secure under the Constitution," he stated to local realty officials. "The most glaring and outstanding attempted rape of private property rights is fast becoming known as the 'Fallbrook Case'," Snyder said. "This near-tragedy is being enacted right here in California in an otherwise Arnold said. "If our record be compared with use of housing space in any other county of the world, it becomes apparent that this is by far the best housed nation in all history." Arnold drew a comparison between United States and Russian standards of housing, pointing out that five million people in Moscow are squeezed into existing houses at the rate of two families per room. "This is the alleged worker's paradise after 30 years of five year plans," he said. "Actually, is there any comparison at all to be drawn between U.S. and U.S.S.R. housing?" Other officers of the Anaheim Realty Board are Frances Backs, vice-president; Elmer Thill, second vice-president; Elizabeth Arnold, secretary-treasurer; Frances Backs, state director, and Frank C. Pope, district vice-president. Other members of the Realty Board are Leon Bennett; L. F. Buchanan, W. J. Elliott, Walter Gooden, Paul T. Havens, Don Herring, Delmar Jackson, W. T.

Yoder. restrictions become so prohibitive as to destroy the rights which we have always felt were secure under the Constitution," he stated to local realty officials. "The most glaring and outstanding attempted rape of private property rights is fast becoming known as the 'Fallbrook Case', Snyder said. "This near-tragedy is being enacted right here in California in an otherwise peaceful rural community in San Diego county. Here, virtually without warning," he stated, "an agency of the federal government is attempting to seize the water rights of 1400 farmers and townspeople whose rights have been long recognized under state law." "This action is being carried on by the agency on the theory that the United States has sovereign powers, and because it is sovereign, its right is above that of any private citizen," he alleged. "Support of the rights of property owners in the area will be given by the California Real Estate Association," he stated. The Board of Directors of that organization having authorized the filing of legal action to intervene in behalf of the private owners. "This situation merely complicates, however, that property owners must organize now for the purpose of protecting their rights." Snyder suggested. "It is only another step from the Fallbrook Case' to action to preempt—without compensation—all mineral rights of American citizens. This would be destruction of private property rights by interpretation and without the farmality of constitutional amendment," he warned the local realtors.
