Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-In the
process of rebuilding our national
economy for war, government is
working with private industry toward
a sound postwar foundation for free
enterprise.
A job for everybody after the war
is the objective, but doing it as much
as possible without doles, breadlines,
and state and federal subsidies.
Progress for the process is not ap-
parent in enactment of legislation or
in newspaper headlines. 1t is, rather,
a by-product of Congressional investi-
cations, of pressures of Congressional
committees and subcommittee upon
agencies of government to give aid
and encouragement in directions that
will not only best aid the war effort
but also build sound industry founda-
tions. Much of the emphasis is against
monopoly and in favor of reasonable
diversity of industry.
Consider steel, for instance. Con-
gress is doing it. Several committees
are interested in breaking up this un-
wieldly concentration of industry and
power and are making committee
recommendations But the Boykin
steel shortage investigation of the
House Merchant Marine and Fisheries
Committee is responding to the coun-
try's persistent demands for prob
ing and exposure of the forces that
retard greater war output of steel. A
sympathetic consideration has been
extended localities retarded by short
age of steel A giant wave of interest
has arisen demanding the erection of
new small local iron and steel plants,
independent of the big steel corpora
tions. The committee is letting it be
known, through members of Congress
that states with iron ore deposits
and 26 states have them-will be
given support for the development of
local resources if the enterprise is
financially sound.
Among the states which are active
ly working for establishment of local
iron and steel plants, and which can
thus serve local steel fabricating
plants, are Washington, California
North Dakota, Minnesota, Connecti-
cut, Virginia, New Mexico, and North
Carolina.
Connecticut and Virginia are inter-
ested in the revival of the iron and
steel production for which they were
once famous. Connecticut forged the
first steel bar made in the United
States. This is the first war in which
Connecticut steel has not played big
role Virginia is dotted with ruins OF
iron mines and foundries which were
prosperous before the big steel COM
bination forced them out of business
In Washington new so million
dollar corporation is being set up to
mine ore and make finished steel for
the growing local Pacific Coast indus
tries. Surveys of deposits, locations

fective, and have the courage to dis
card those which have proved inef-
fective.
Stresses Preparations Now
"Above all, without in any sense
slackening in our concentration on the
main immediate job of helping win
the war, we must somehow find the
time and energy to begin to prepare
now if housing is to be ready to carry
it's share of building a better postwar
world"
Discussing the future, Blandford
said:
"There are going to be millions
of young Americans coming home
from overseas one of these days
and they're going to count on
lot of things millions of other
young people didn't have yester-
day-among them good homes to
live in and raise families in.
"There are other millions of young
and not-so-young men and women
working in our war production plants
working, they have been assured,
for better and freer and more whole
some world That pledge to them
means decent, livable homes, you and
| can both be sure | don't think we
can afford to fail them; | don't think
they'll permit us to fail them long;
and, with courage and foresight, we
will not fail them"
Holds War Housing Vital
Blandford said that the war housing
program from July, 1910, to July,
1943, involved the shelter of 100000
migrating war workers, about 1,300,-
600 of whom have been or will be
cared for in new construction. From
July, 1943 to July, 1914, another
100000 Immigrant workers will
have to be housed, he said.
'"The job of providing adequate
shelter for war workers is as vital to
the achievement of production sched-
ules as the provision of plants and
equipment" Blandford added. "It has
been and continues to be diffiult,
complex and engrossing job. But we
cannot afford to lose sight of our
larger objectives for the period after
victory, when housing can again as
sumo its rightful position as an in
strument of peaceful society rather
than an instrument of war;"

HANDICAPPED
WORKERS IN DEMAND
HIGHLY RATED
in WAR PLANTS

New York City (ILNS) Hand
capped workers, such as the hard of
hearing, are highly rated in war
plants and employers are asking for
more, the local office of the u S. EN-
ployment Service reports. The office
said one recent request for Is deaf
women to operate office machinery
went untitled, as no applicants were
available.
In recent months, the office has
placed all its registered deaf women,
largely in war plants where they are
unaffected by the noise that is often
firing and distracting to those with
good hearing.
Even the blind, with their special
sensitivity of touch, are said to be "in
pretty brisk demand" as they have
proved themselves efficient assemblers
of small parts, inspectors by the touch
system, operators of hand drills and
capable at other jobs calling for finger
dexterity.
A similar situation among handi-
capped is reported throughout the
country by the USES, with the rise in
placements computed at 112 percent
from the first to the last quarter of
1912 and total of 30,347 placed dur
ing the latter period. They included,
in addition to the hard Of hearing and
the blind, cardiacs doing office work,
cripples doing assembly and adjust
ment of small instrument parts and

Jobs for Millions in Building Program
At Wars End vitality Linked With
Planning Now, MIA Head Says
Workers To Demand Good Homes Predictions Amount
OF Homes Now Existing Are Inadequate For
Increased Population Migration Intense

New York City (ILNS).-Employ-
ment of millions of building trades
workers after the war on large-scale
housing program is dependent on
making of plans at once, National
II Housing Administrator John B.
Blandford, Jr., declared here
A vast postwar housing program is
feasible, vitality necessary to the ma
tion, and would be constructive force
in the country's postwar economy, but
it won't materialize unless all groups
concerned with housing begin realistic
planning now, Administrator Bland
ford told the National Association of
Housing Officials and the American
Society of Planning Officials in joint
session.
The meeting unanimously urged
that appropriations be made for post
war public works programs, that ma
tional leadership be kept available to
local planning agencies and that
urban development of a part of post
war public works.
Says Action Is Imperative
Declaring that an annual volume of
100000 to 100000 new homes a
year would provide direct or indirect
employment for two to three million
workers, as well as an annual outlet
for several billion dollars OF invest
ments, the head of the National Hous-
ing Agency added that such pro-
gram could be an important instru-
ment for attaining full employment
and full production after the war"
But | am not believer in automa-
tic economic Miracles" said Bland
ford Il do not believe that we will
inevitably have a postwar program of
the size and quality needed simply be-
cause the overwhelming majority of
our people want to live in good
houses, or simply because the mate
rials, manpower and money are
potentially available to produce and
finance those houses. Instead, we must
develop the ways and means to fuse
those elements in the most effective
manner possible.
"We must work on the problem in
labor, in industry, in finance, in gov
ernment, and above all in our COM
munities. We must strengthen those
instruments of housing production
and financing which have proved eff
