District 0PA Plans
Price Action Soon on
Building Materials
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS.

District OPA expects that with
in a week or 10 days positive
steps, will be taken to push forward
the program of strengthening con-
trolls over building materials and
contractors services as means of
combating imitation in home costs
1t was indicated today.
Developments in the plan for
pricing materials on an area basis
which national OPA outlined some
time ago, were said to be most i'm
minent."
In connection with this program
national OPA reiterated this week
that regional administrators may
authorize district directors to es-
tablish uniform dollar and cent
COMMUNICATIVE ceilings on some
essential building materials in To-
calities where construction is about
to be resumed.
To Reflect Price Levels.
AS explained by OPA, community
dollar-and-cent ceilings will re-
feet the general level of prices TN
der the applicable regulation -
which may be freeze prices or
prices calculated by the seller un-
der formula provided in the
regulation"
Community ceiling prices, OPA
added, will be determined "only
after a study of local conditions
and selling prices" and will ncr
change the existing level of costs
to the consumer"
In another development affecting
forthcoming building operations
Price Administrator chester
Bowles yesterday announced a new
policy of fixing rents in advance OF
construction that will, he said
provide liberal allowances for
increased building costs since 1899.
Rent Regulations.
Rent regulations, he said, are
being amended so that maximum
rents on new housing units will be
based on prevailing rents for com
parable accommodations, plus "a
substantial allowance to offset cur
rent higher construction costs"
"The new policy is designed to
assure ceiling rents on new housing
units that are fair to both tenants
and builders" Mr.. Bowles said. 1T
will protect tenants during the
acute housing shortage from infla.
tionary rents that would result il
rent ceilings were removed" He
added that the relaxation was
vital to avert a building lag"
The Bowles home-price ceilins
proposal-subject for the last si1
weeks of a tug-of-war between ad.
ninistration forces and an all-ou
attack by home builders and rea
estate groups-has been shelved fo
