Truman Gets Busy On Housing Crisis

pending order gives preference to veterans. Few veterans will be in the market for $lO,OOO houses. An army survey at separation centers found only five to sixteen per cent of those discharged (depending on their community who expected to be able to pay as much as $50 a month for rent or house payments. The survey concluded that virtually all the veterans need was for houses below $6,OOO.
 We urge, therefore, that the order allocate the major part of the mate rlals covered by priorities to houses under $60O0.
 There appears to be nothing to pre- vent $50O0 house which receives pri- ority materials from being sold for $10,000. We urge that the order make some provision for quality control perhaps by specifying relationship between cost and selling price.

one of the first factories here to adopt labOr-management commit tee during the war.
 Hamilton Merrill, executive vice president of the company, said after the agreement:
 ''The union negotiating commit- tee demonstrated cooperation and understanding in realizing and ac- cepting the problems of manage ment and at the same time ably represented the employees. The management is proud of its record of accomplishment through collective bargaining. I believe when there is a spirit of fairness and good will on both sides the conference is and always will be the proper place to solve the prob lems of the company and it's em- plOyes."

 There will be an estimated million veterans and their families who will be searching for loW-cost homes dur ing the next year. Truman approved of this program in his report.
 PRIORITIES
 3. Restoration of priOritieS for home building: Over the vigorous opposition of labor and consumers groups, the Administration early last fall approved lifting of all re- strictions governing use of scarce building materials. Tacitly admit ting the error of this action, Tru- man promised action ''by the mid. dle of the month"; to somewhat re- pair this damage.
 The Truman proposal is for chan neling of 509o of available building materials into construction of houses selling for $10,000 or less. First criti cisms of the proposal which met with labor concurrence were made by Kath- ryn McHale of the American Assn. of University Women. She addressed a series of questions to Snyder about the priorities plan She wrote:
 VETS CAN'T PAY
 'There appears to be no prOvi- sion guarding against the possibil- ity that all materials under priority will be used for houses at the high est price permitted, $lO,OOO. The

meet the need for lOwer-cost homes? We urge that a large enough proportion of materials, probably more than 5O@o, be in- cluded under priority control to assure that the bulk of building will consist of lower-priced houses.
 Will the order assure the builder who holds priority that he will be able to secure his materials, or will 1t merely give him a hunting license with which to look for materials? We urge that the order provide for the setting aside and direct a11ocation of materials so that priority-holding builders will be able to find them"
 4. Long range housing and re- development: Hearings on the Wagner-Ellender-Taft bill, aimed to rehOuse all of the nation in ade- quate homes at prices which the people can afford, continued last week.

 tails of the members of Congress in Washington than there is in the whole labor movement of the U.S."
 Biemiller declared, We fear, for example, under the bill as it now stands, that a simple unfortunate all tercation on picket line-and we all know that human beings are frai1 and when tempers are hot some trouble may develop-under such a situation you may send a man to jail for 2L years or fine him $10,000.

Shocked At Idea Of Take Home Pay

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5- ''I do not take much stock in take-home pay,'' proclaims Senator Robert A. Taft R.,O.).
 This solemn pronounce ment, coupled with the fact that the Republicans don't want to see Democratic job- holders get a pays raise, even to meet current living costs, is why millions of government workers are not expected to get the cOst-Of-living increases allowed industrial workers.
 The battle over the 20 per cent Federal pay boost bill which its spon- sor, Sen. Sheridan Downey O., CaL), states is to permit Government workers ito have at least as much as they received in 1927 and 1941," is doomed to ultimate failure
 PARTISANSHIP
 Besides bitter partisanship there is the ever present fear that if Con- gress formally approves a rise for anybody it is weakening the case of General Motors and other profit conscious industrialists. Taft has been amazingly frank in admitting this.
 "I do not think" he told the Sen ate, ''the Government for 20 per cent or 30 per cent salary increase for its employees and thus set an example which all other would follow
 Wedged into the Federal pay raise debate is s'compromise" by Sen. Harry Byrd O., Va.), which, on the basis of complicated, slid ing scale, provides an average l2 per cent increase. So far it is voted most likely to succeed, unless an all-out drive led by Taft attains its goal of stalling the whole pay is- sue out until after the Christmas recess.
 Meanwhile Downey, recognizing the formidable strength of Taft forces and the danger that the inadequate Byrd plan will be adopted, has shown some evidence of retreating, at least partly.
 17% SUBSTITUTE
 He has a substitute providing about l74o per cent salary rises which he submitted to the Senate and then withdrew. His premature introduction of it nearly resulted in throwing the entire legislation back into the Senate Civil Affairs Com mittee on a parliamentary techni- cality.

an amazing number of estates are
