Standard Building Code.

so much OF this need not be gov
ernmental. Why not voluntary
standardized action? Ii we could get
standard modern building code it
would contribute substantially to re-
duce building costs. Simplify things
in common every day use, but not at
the sacrifice OF quality. Standardize
qualities. The foreign trade tendency
is to refuse goods from the United
States and the bubble is usually
based on quality"

Its my belief this administration

hands and not worry about discharg-

going to go to the roots of things
and find out in its work for reorg11-
