Stoppage Seen
For Building
Housing Priorities
Chief Tells Builders
ToFoce Facts

Private building is going to be re-
duced almost to the vanishing
point" because Of defense needs for
materials. Sullivan Jones, chief OF
the Housing Priorities Division OF
the OQce of Production Manage
ment, yesterday warned members
of the building industry in Wash
ington.
Addressing the Washington Build
ing Congress at a luncheon at the
Mayflower Hotel. Mr.. Jones called
attention to the policy announce
ment made october 9 by the Supply
Priorities and ALLEGATIONS Board
stating that no new construction
projects using scare materials may
be started during the emergency
unless they are necessary for direct
defense or essential to the health
and safety Of the people.
Then he added:
That order means just what 1t
says. You might as well face the
fact that the amount of private
building Is going to be reduced to
the absolute minimum - almost to
the vanishing point.
Defense Comes First.
I'VE must do this. Our supplies
Of copper. aluminium and other
metals, and cork. rubber and other
materials must be used first of all
for defense needs, and there just
isn't enough to go around. We had
to cut somewhere. and private
building is far down in the priori-
ties list"
Mr.. Jones said the S. P. A. B
order placing a $4,000 limit on the
selling price of homes for defense
housing necessary to fit the pocket
book of the defense worker.
He said he had received numerous
complaints about this and other re-
strictions. and that it had been sug-
gested that the Government exercise
control only over the amount of
critical materials to be used in con-
struction Of a house and not restrict
the selling price or rent.
Can't Guarantee Deliveries.
If We did control only the metals, u
Mr.. Jones said. I'VE could not pro-
duce housing facilities within the
means of defense workers. After all
our END product is housing that
will be used by defense workers
In response to a question, Mr.
Jones said the Government could not
guarantee delivery of materials to
contractors.
"All we can do is assist you by
giving priorities," he said, you
may have to shop around little to
get the materials you need. Use a
little energy. little imagination and
a little push. and you'll be able to
get the materials. The trouble with
some builders has been that they've
Just been trying to do business as
they always have. They try one
source of supply and if they can't
get what they want, they come run
ming back to U.S."
In answer to another question,
Mr.. Jones said provision will be
made for completion of all buildings
now under way.
