GREAT BUILDING PROGRAM UNDER
 CONSIDERATION
Bank President Tells Many Architects the Plans of
 Government

Bridgeport. Conn, Sept ls- fU. P.1--Confronted with q shortage of nearly l,500,O DOG homes, the united States Is ready to embark on one of it's greatest building programs in history, according to John R. Waller. president of the Interna- tienal Bank at Washington and a deputy federal housig administra- tor. Addressing a25 architects, con- tractors and supply merchants here last night. Waller declared the building industry, through the housing administration, IS ready to pull itself out of the slump, spread ing benefits Ito every industry in the nation".
 we all know that normally the building industry far exceeds any other industry in America, even greater than foods or motor vehi- cles. The ten year average expen- gditures prior to 1880 was approx imately seven billion dollars an- nualiy. Now of nearly 26,0O0, ,000 structures in the country, 16i000,- 900 are in ned of repair. Of these, 3,000,000 are in, a serious state of disrepair and approximately 500,- 900 should be demolished" An average outlay of s100 per building, he said, would mean re- lease of s1,600. .000. .000 intA bus mess.
 "You can picture what this would mean to the workers of our nation. Every one of the un- employed four million in the build ing trades and allied industries would be put to work; the wheels of industry would spin and bene- f1cial effects would be felt by every one"
 He declared that within two months the housing administra- ticn would announce a refinancing program for the small home own- CT reaching into the largest city and the smallest village"

guard has been called out for duty. Guardsmen have set up a barb wire concentration caslp at Fort McPherson on the site of similar barricade where German spy sus- poets were held during the World war. Members of the flying squad rons'' of union pickets are being arrested. Guard commanders said they would be held there for the duration of the strike. About 150 pickets including 13 women were imprisoned in the stockade.
 German said he expected few workers to go back to the mills which hope to resume operations under protection of squads of mill itiamen. Several thousand were es- timated to have returned yesterday.
 German was immersed in plans which may swell strike totals by 100000 carpet and synthetic rayon workers. The executive council of the union met today. The total idle is already place dat between 100000 and 100000.
 The prospect also was growing stronger that 175,000 cotton gar- ment workers would join their idle friends in the closely associated textile mills. Strike of these work CTS has been theatened if industry does not accept an MIRA order re- ducing working hours from 40 tc 3e.

No Troops In Conn

INO 4IOOP5 SOAhn
 Hartford, Sept 1S-(UP)-Gov- ernor Wilbur l.. Cross today said he believed it unlikely further troops would be sent into Connecticut strike areas and that conditions at present were very satisfactory.
 T have just talked with Labor Commissioner Tone over the tele- phone" the governor said, "and conditions at Danielson and Put nam are quiet. 1t seems unlikely additional troops will be necessary at these centers. I am sure none will be sent today, unless of course, an emergency arises"
 Commissioner Joseph M. Tone is the governors personal representa- tive in the extile strike. He reported two additional mills at Putnam, the Putnam Spinners and Perfect Spin- ners companies had reopened with out interference from pickets, al- though only a small force reported at each plant. Additional compa- nies of National guardsmen were sent to Putnam late yesterday in anticipation of trouble today when the mills restarted.
 The governor commented on the Strike after comforting with Adju- tant. General William K. Ladd. Two companies of troops are being held at New Haven and another compa- ny at Hartford but they had been given no orders to move or demo- bilize. Asked if he would confer with mill owners and labor organ izers, the governor said he be- lieved it unnecessary at this time to call any conference. The situa- ,tion does not seem to warrant it.
 He added, however, that he had sent word to mill owners that he would be willing to talk over their troubles with them, if they wanted.
 Threats of Violence
 Biddeford, Me, Sept 1s--(UP)-- Threats of violence if workers re- mained on the job today forced closing of the Pepperell nills--the largest textile plant in Maine, and threw $500 mill hands out of work.
 The plant was closed after workers completed the night shift during the morning.
 Meantime, this textile center took on the aspect of an armed camp as an extra unit Of Nation al guardsmen was added to the five units alreay stationed here to maintain order.
 No disturbances were reported.
 Strikers. however, stood outside the plant last night booing workers as they left their shift.
 More than 100 were out at the plant in York which still is oper- ating with the exception of the weaving department.
 Company officials at the Pepper ell plant said they expected to make an announcement during the day.
