home builders today promised
full cooperation with the Gov-
ernment's plan for a priorities
system in building new homes
next year, despite the industry's
stand that the plan may prove
unavoidable and delay construc-
ton in 1916.
while we fear delay Of 4 priority
system, the builders of the country
will cooperate fully with his new
plan and with the new housing ex-
pediter (Wilson w. Wyatt) in ac-
cordance with the Presidents re-
quest Joseph E. Merton, presi-

ment.
The two-day Government-indus-

shortage ended late yesterday with
Federal onicials claiming the meet

but with building materials pro-
ducers expressing disappointment
over the Governments housing pro-
gram.
Small Predicts Success.
In reply to a charge that the
Government had made up its mind
before inviting delegates to the
meeting, Civilian Production Ad-
ministrator John D. Small declared.
President Truman has outlined q
critical housing problem, and he has
instructed us to get homes built fol
veterans as quickly as possible. We
are consulting with the industry tc
the fullest extent possible under the
emergency circumstances.
IF management and labor and
each community will cooperate
Fundamentally, I think this pro.
gram can be far more successful
than any one expects"
Mr.. Merrion said one of the i'm.
portant decisions of the conference
was that the public should be fully
informed as to the real truth about
the housing situation. He urgec
patience in waiting for production o1
new homes.
In a special press conference fol-
lowing statements by Governmen,
officials on the meeting, Douglas
Whitlock, former president of the
Producers Council, and H. r. North
rup, secretary-manager Of the Ma
tional Retail Lumber Dealers AsSoci'
