Byrnes Report Stirs
Builders Association

The National Association of Home
Builders has expressed concern over
the statement in the recent report
of War Mobilization Directo
Byrnes in which he states that it
may be well to change the law in
order to permit temporary war
housing units to be used to replace
substandard homes in cities or de-
pressed farm areas.
That such an idea should be
broached by Federal officials comes
as quite surprise" an association
statement declared
ut was precisely to guard against
any plan for using emergency
conditions as an excuse to keep
temporary war housing facilities
standing for an indefinite period
that we helped bring about the
adoption of the demolition amend
ment.'
This requires that some 100000
temporary housing units built by
the Government under the Lam
ham Act be removed from the
housing market within two years
after the President proclaims the
war emergency to be over.
