Conditions remained chaotic in

Additional Paragraph
In DeIono Report Is
Cited in Analysis

The White House hit back at
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey this
afternoon by issuing a two-page
analysis of his st. Louis speech
last night. This sought to show
that the Republican presiden-
tial nominee had been guilty of
distortion by his use of excerpts
from published statements.
The release was along the same
line as that Of Saturday when por-
tions of Gov. Dewey,s Oklahoma
City speech were disSected.
The main target of todays analy-
sis was the Dewey assertion that a
report from the Conference on
Postwar Readjustment of Civilian
and Military Personnel, submitted
by Mr.. Roosevelt's uncle, Frederick
A. Delano, had advocated delayed
military demobilization" to FORE

WPB Eases Controls

EorIy Action Expected
Lifting Price Limit
From 81 500 to $1,000

The War Production Board to-
day relaxed wartime restrictions
on room sizes and use of ma
.terials in housing construction
and will permit erection of
dwellings approximating prewar
standards.
No action was announced on the
request of the National Housing
Agency that builders be allowed to
erect houses costing up to $1,000.
1t was indicated, however, that WPB
soon will act on that point. The
moves are designed to break the log
jam on housing construction and
bring about partial reconversion of
the industry.
In the action today, WPB removed
the limitation on total floor area
permitted for each dwelling, relaxed
restrictions on the use of lumber.
as well as that of the number of
electrical outlets permitted per
house. A restriction on the size of
hot-water storage tanks also was
lifted. along with the requirement
that bathroom and kitchen must be
back to back.
For-Sale Limit Raised.
Last summer WPB approved an
MIA program calling for erection of
100000 privately financed dwelling
units over the country during the
last three months of this year. At
the time. the limit on for sale" new
houses was raised from $4,000 to
$500 in high-cost areas. while the
limit on rental units was upped
from $50 to $62 so in the same area
Housing officials said Washington
had not been designated as high
cost" area because no application
had been filed for erection of hous-
ing here under the program. MIA,
however, last week requested this
designation for the Capital area and
action to permit construction of
homes up to $500 is expectedly
shortly
1t was also indicated that WPB
soon will remove the restriction
limiting occupancy of new housing
to war workers.
Housing officials last week asked
WPB to permit construction of
dwellings in the higher cost areas
to sell for up to $4,000. The Office
of Price Administration opposed the
plan on the grounds it was in
f1ationary.
Restrictions on the amounts of
materials that can be used and the
cost of the dwelling units have vir-
tually eliminated all construction

OF the fact that businessmen gen.
orally are for Roosevelt"
Mr.. Lawrence said he did not dis
cuss any further speaking dates with
the President, although he said he
would like to have him speak all
over Pennsylvania. because the more
speeches he makes, the heavier his
vote will be. He predicted the Presi-
dents majority in Pennsylvania will
be larger than the 281 900 votes by
which he carried the State four
years ago.
Heavier Vote Than 1910.
Mr.. Lawrence said that registra-
ton in Pennsylvania is good and,
counting the soldier vote, will run
above that of 1910.
President Roosevelt made one Of
his major campaign speeches in
Convention Hall in Philadelphia
four years ago and he carried the
city by l78,000
Pennsylvania has 35 electoral
votes and is considered a battle
ground, with political observers gen.
orally viewing the outcome of the
election there as doubtful.

pected to be the forerunner of
others, as the President has said
the question of his making appear
ances outside of Washington is

that his political advisers have i'm

citation in New York October 81.
