In ApprovoIs

A drastic grip on nonhousing con-
struction for at least IS days has
been invoked by the Government,

have more materials for new homes,
while at the same time getting their
moneys worth. --a
Civilian Production Administrator
]. D. Small directed field Offices to
reduce the dollar value of approvals
Tor nonhousing projects by two
thirds compared with the two-week
period ending May %.
Action was. taken, 1t was explained,
because of the effect of strikes on
building material production and
the large amount of new building
already under way or approved.
Projects to Be Approved.
While the cut is in eject, gener.
ally only projects such as the follow
ing will be approved by Mr.. Smalls
Offices:
Those which are vitally necessary
to public health and safety, will
increase production of critically
scarce materials, essential to in
creased food production, will provide
minimum community facilities "ab-
solutely necessary for new residential
areas" developed as part of the
veterans housing program, will pro-
vide urgently needed veterans edu-
cational facilities, will have mo i'm
pact whatsoever" on the housing
program, or are essential and non-
deferrable for maintenance and
repairs.

Wyatt ordered home builders to SUBJ
NIT detailed plans and specifications

thorizatlon to build.
At the same time, he set up an
inspection system for housing while
under construction to insure that
builders comply with plans and
| specifications.
Fulfills Promise.
Mr.. Wyatt's action on inspection
of homes fulfilled a promise he
made several weeks ago after vet
erans' organizations and a Veterans
Administration official complained
there was insufficient price-quality
| protection for veterans buying
homes.
| In some areas the new policy on
nonhousing work will mean no new
priorities can be issued until July /,
it was indicated, although James A.
Hewitt, manager of the Federal
Housing Administration District
Insuring Office, said he did not be-
lieve priority freeze" would be
necessary here.
The new inspection system will
not apply to total of 1882 pri-
critics issued as of May 17-and an
additional number issued through
May "a which have not as yet
been tabulated-but only to those
issued after May "a, Mr.. Wyatt ex-
planned.
Plan Rowing Inspectors.
However, FILA will send rowing
inspectors" to make "spot check"
on construction now under way on
those authorizations, the housing
chief added.
