Priority Idea

Granting building product
prioritieS for low cost housing
will make little difference II
the number of new homes
built during the next year un
less the government alst
takes steps 10 stimulate in
creased production OF certain
essential materials and equip
ment, and TO encourage IN,
construction Of rental housing
So declared l.. {. Hart
president of Producers Coun
Gil, Saturday.
OUTLOOK SAME
"In addition, plans must
be devised for helping build
ers and contractors TO eN-
pand their building opera
tions quickly" Hart said.
Because most building
and contracting organiZa-
tions were disorganiZed dur
ing the war, IL has been be-
lieved generally that build
ers would not complete
more than 450, 900 new units
of housing during l946.
Nothing has happened 30
far To change that outlook.
ITO expand their opera
tions, builders must recruit
and train more fOremen and
KEY workers, select and pur-
chase additional land, pre-
pare additional blue prints
and specifications, and ar
range the necessary fnanc-
Ing. This all takes time.
SMALL UNITS
Extending priority as
sistance Ia low cost housing
will permit the building of
a somewhat greater number
Of small units, provided
builders Of such homes are
prepared TO handle the ad-
ditiOnal work, but will re-
duce the number OF larger
homes built during the same
period.
Consequently, the net
gain may be rather small
unless production Of the
more scarce building prod
ucts II stepped up.
Unfortunately, some of
the scarcest products are
used in residential Construc-
tion only, 30 that granting
priorities for home building
does not increase the total
supply available for that
purpose.
Furthermore. recent re-
ports from manufacturers
show that production Of
more than half of the ma jor
lines Of materials and equip
ment II being retarded by
pricing or manpOwer prob
lens.
PRICE CEILINGS
Unless the government
adjusts It's price ceilings to
meet current conditions and
can devise plans for encOur-
aging more workers To re-
turn TO work in plants man
ufacturing building prod
uCtS, IL il not likely that the
supply OF materials and
equipment will permit the

British Wait
To See What
WdIIie Does

LONDON, June 6 GNS)-An-
nouncement by the Duchess of
Windsor that she expects to visit
England soon today attracted only
the most discreet attention in
British newspapers.
But her statement 10 New York
newspapermen that she and the
former King Edward VIII would
come to England this sum me r
launched excited speculation in
court and political circles.
Gossip centered upon whether
the American-born duchess, for
mer Mrs. Wallace Warfield Simp-
son Of Baltimore. would be ac-
cepted by the royal family.
Immediate reaction from court
circles was that this was "eX-
tremely doubtful"
The duke of course, will be re-
celved by their majeStleS, but IT is
not likely he will be accompanied
by his duchess, who probably will
remain in London in her private
capacity in order 10 avoid embar-
raSSment 10 both sides.

BiCker Grows

NEW YORK, June 6 CUP)-A
four-way conflict over occupation
terms and boundaries appeared 10
have blocked.at least temporarily
a Big -Four agreement on the IN
terim rule of Germany today.
Representatives Of the United
States, Britain. France and the
Soviet Union signed the occupa-
tion pact in Berlin yesterday. but
the Russians refused TO agree TO
immediate establishment Of the
Allied control council there or
discussion Of co-ordinated occupa-
ton policies.
Marshal Zhukov. the Russian
delegate, insisted he had not been
empowered 10 carry on further
discussions until all American
troops had been Withdrawn from
the sections of Germany assigned
TO the Red army
United states troops ultimately
were expected 10 occupy only Ba-
varla, turning over such central
German cities as Magdehurg,
Leipzig, ChemnitZ and Erfurt 30
the Russians and the Ruhr and
RhIneland to British and French
forces.
Zhukov also delayed signing Of
the pact for almost six hours by

japanese balloon bomb has struck
somewhere in the state" but he
refused 10 reveal whether more
than one had fallen. He said he
could not reveal the location OF

Jap Balloons
Hit Michigan

Several Japanese balloon bombs have been
dropped in Michigan, it was disclosed today. No
damage has been done, nor has any one been hurt,
it was also revealed
Because of censorship, Capt Don Leonard,
director of the Office of Civilian Defense, refused
to comment beyond issuing warning to Michigan
residents not to touch or handle strange objects
y "No one should go anything which
could possibly be either a fallen balloon or a #
bomb dropped from a balloon" he declared. ~
Disclosure that balloons had reached Michigan came
from New York where newspapers quoted Mayor Lauara
as intending to continue the New York office Sf civilian
