Wyatt Warns Housing
Program May Hurt
Few Special Interests

Wilson w. Wyatt, newly appointed
housing expediter, warned today
that in the approach to the housing
problem, some of the programs
that will be developed may be det-
rimental to the interests of some
groups"
In such instances, he said, an ap-
peal will be made to those who are
affected ito make sacrifice in the
national interest"
The former Louisville Mayor de-
clared that mo miracles are pos
sible," but he said his efforts will
be directed toward providing low
cost housing and that preference
must be given to caring for the
needs of servicemen.
Situation Called Emergency.
Mr.. Wyatt's statement was issued
as he met with Federal housing off
cials and other administration re-
conversion aides to start work on q
program designed to relieve the
Nationwide housing shortage.
The present housing shortage
is one of our gravest national prob
lens; a great emergency exists,
he said. Il have no illusions about
my task as housing expediter anc
l have no promises to make tha,
hoAses will spring up overnight
throughout the country. In hous-
ing, of all things, no miracles are
possible.
Il do promise that, with all the
vigor at my command, I will pursue
the task of providing adequate
houses for our people-especially
for our returning veterans-as
speedily as it is humanity possible
to do. Where there are bottle
necks, they will be broken. Where
there is red tape, it will be cut"
Asks Community Effort.
He added:
The major portion of the job
will not be done from Washington
but in local communities. To this
end, I will shortly call on every
community in the United States
that has a housing problem to gird
itself for immediate, prompt and
effective action. If the housing
problem is to be solved-and it must
bet will be solved by the American
people themselves The national
Government can only furnish the
direction and the drive. That, it will
do.
THE emphasis will be on houses
of low cost. Real consideration will
be given to rental housing, for thi.
is the particular interest of the vet.
