WoIIboord Offers Big Saving
In Small House Building Cost
By Wordsworth Wood

Ever since the small house" first
came into existence, the designers
who drew plans, and the manufac-
turers who made the materials, have
been looking for substitute for the
three-coat plastered interior walls
which made up the bulk Of the in
side of the average small house.
ANY one who has been through
the experience of building home
during the last five or ten years is
familiar with the delay, the damp
ness and the general complication
of ful-plastered interiors.
Not for one moment do we dis
count the fact that thoroughly
good, plastered interior is the finest
and best obtainable; but under
the present conditions and the
present state sof both labor and
material markets, the cost Of a
first-class plaster job is quite a bit
beyond the reach of the average
citizen, to say nothing of the CT.
Answer to Problem.
The answer to the problem rests
In the use of one Of the excellent
wallboards obtainable. an item at

Emergency Housing Program in re-
Spouse to the Presidents instruc-
tions to make no little plans" will
leave the Government.
Mr.. Wyatt has made clear to his
associates he will feel obliged to re-
sign unless his recommendations for
the future of the program in the
wake of price decontrol are substan-
TALLY approved.
Discussed by Cabinet.
The whole question was reported
to have been discussed by President
Truman at his cabinet meeting yes
terday, bat this could not be con-
frmed.
Involved in the decision Is whether
priority and other present controls
shall be continued, and whether the
President shall instruct other Gov
ernment agencies to carry through"
on the Wyatt program.
Two major issues are the War
Assets Administrators adamant
stand against turning over part of

Corp. for the manufacture of pre-
fabricated houses, and the refusal
of RFC to loan Lustron up to $52,-
100000 SO that it can start mass
producing 10000 houses.
Pursuing cautious policy follow
ing the election, Mr.. Truman is said
to be undecided whether to interpret
the election results as indicating the
American people want the Govern
ment to turn thumbs down even on
emergency home-building controls.
Pressure Against Wyatt.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear against the Wyatt
program from a number of sources,
and in some quarters it was being
seriously doubted whether the Presi-
dent could be persuaded to back upI
Mr.. Wyatt further.
Another meeting of the President
and Mr.. Wyatt to discuss the matter
is due to be held, presumably early

Noncorrosive Valve
Is cIeoned EosiIy;
Fluid Saves Brushes
By HiIson Munsey

The ordinary air valve in the
radiator has the disadvantage Of
being difficult to clean, and many
of them are subject to the cor
rosion that always occurs when
moisture is present unless the metal
is manufactured to resist it.
There is a valve which overcomes
both of these objections. The metal
from which they are made is cor
rosion proof and it Is an easy mat
ter to take them apart, clean them
thoroughly and put them together
again. They will then be as good
and as effective as on the day they
were installed.

steam heating system is to elm
