Big Building Program
Held Necessary 10
Meet Postwar Needs

Ten billion dollars can be spent
during each of the next 10 years to
replace badly deprecated buildings
and to provide for increase in popu-
lation, according to Melvin H. Baker,
president of the National Gypsum
Co.
"A similar program could continue
for another 10 years and indefi-
nitely," he said.
New homes built in the last Is
years were not sufficient to provide
for increase In population, and they
did not provide requirements to
cover deterioration and destruction
by fire and storm. Actually there
will be more than 5000, 900 families
In need of housing when the war
ends" he added.
Mr.. Baker estimated that stores,
apartment houses, schools, and
other public buildings will require
Is per cent more capacity to carry
the postwar load.
He pointed out that while the
postwar house probably will cost Is
per cent more than it did in 1899
this will be more than offset by
increased purchasing power. He
said that with intelligent planning
the postwar house at $1,000 will be
a sounder investment for the indi-
vidual than anything available in
the 30s.

Senate Group Warned
OF Danger in Postwar
Housing Program

Danger of letting the postwar
housing program become a means
either of pump printing or social
reform" was cited before Senate
postwar housing subcommittee yes
terday by Ebert S. Brigham, presi-
dent of the National Life Insurance
Co., Montpelier, VT.
He testified that investors should
be assured the future will not be
"obscured by threats of Government
subsidy and competition.
The insurance company Official
agreed that the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration had made outstanding
contributions to the housing pro-
gram through its policy of insuring
loans by private industry to private
builders.
However, he added, the average
public housing unit rents for $2O.17
and costs the taxpayers S23.14 in
Treasury contribution, subsidized
lower interest rates and in exemp-
tion from local taxation. He sug-
gested that when the war is over
FHA should be restored to it's posi-
ton as an independent loan-insuring
agency responsible to the President
and Congress.
If MIA and public housing pro-
grams are combined, "one of them
is very likely to become subordinate
