Builders Meet Here
To Press for Liftinq
OF Construction Curbs

officials of the National Associa-
ton of Home Builders, which has
been leading a drive to remove
Government restrictions on private
construction, opened three-day
executive session here today and
made plans to present their case
to agency heads concerned with the
problem.
Private builders are unanimous
in desiring a complete end to con-
trolls, opening the way for unre-
stricted building both from a vol
ume and price standpoint.
Some administration officials,
however, are backing a plan to re-
tain some controls, particularly
ceilings on building materials and
a requirement that contractors hold
their construction down to price
range said to be below $4,000
home. The present ceiling on homes
Is $4,000.
Builders have the support Of the
Governments construction "czar."
Hugh Potter, head of an inter-
agency committee in the Office of
War Mobilization and Reconversion.
However, a final decision on lifting
of the order, known as WPB Order
L-41, is expected to rest with Presi-
dent Truman.
Meanwhile, slowness of hoped
for building boom in Washington
was underscored with the announce
ment of Acting Building Inspector
Robert Davis that construction per-
mits for August fell more than
$500,000 below that of July, the peak
month since August, 1943.
Mr.. Davis said he was not certain
of all the factors in the decrease
He said September should be a good
construction month, but he said
that obviously the building market
was not stabilized yet.
On file are applications for addi-
tions to Woodward & Lothrop and
the Hecht stores, two new theaters
on Macarthur boulevard NV, and
on Good Hope road Sc; a $500, 900
apartment building by the House
Office Building and two other apart
lment projects at Benning road and
Forty sixth street Sc.
OF the $2,091, ,375 worth of permits
issued in July, s1,194,000 was for the
construction of % apartment build
ings. In August, out of permits
j totaling $1,568 900, 1891 900 was for 6
apartments.

A unanimous resolution opposing
the Army engineers plan to con-

throughout the Potomac River basin
was passed by the District Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs at its monthly
meeting yesterday at the Women's

of the program would mean to
citizens of the District.
Unanimous support Of bill
authored by Representative Karl

national anti-water pollution legis-

Speaking at the morning session,

biological deserts of pollution"
Not only is fish and other aquatic
life, including water plants and
fowl, rapidly being destroyed due to
stream pollution, but there is an in
creasing danger of the spread of
typhoid and polio through this
cause, Mr.. Mundt said.
Arguing that stream pollution
should be a national problem and
not merely one for legislation by
individual States, the Representa-
tive pointed out that streams f1ow-
ing through States with poor anti
pollution laws can carry the pollu-
ton into other States unable to
combat the source of pollution. He
told Of the controversy carried on
for several years between Ohio and
Kentucky. The Ohio River, badly
polluted by the industries of Gin
cinnati, carries the pollution down
to Louisville, where strong State
