Proper Agencies
Inc center will endeavor to

veterans to the proper government
agencies.
according to Commander Snead,
leaders OF other local veterans

clear the deficit of Sc, I'LL SO in

Building Materials
Called Inadequate
To Meet Home Goal
BY the Associofsd Press

The National Association Of Home
Builders today advised Government
housing officials the output of criti-
cal building materials is totally in
adequate" to meet the administra-
tion's goal of building 2,700,00o
homes in two years.
Unless the Government takes
vigorous" action and solves the
problem veterans year from now
will still be waiting for the homes
promised them" the association said
in statement to National Housing
Administrator Wilson Wyatt, jr., at
the opening of a four-day meeting
Of the organizations l39 directors.
simultaneously, the builders
weekly news letter said the prob
lem of building veterans homes is
''far more serious than anything
we experienced during the war"
Projects Delayed Year.
"Some projects started more than
a year ago are not yet completed
through lack of hardwood flooring,
radiation or other materials" the
letter said.
"Workmen with an eye on the
rapidly disappearing pile of ma
terials reduce their production &C
cordingly. Projects ranging
from a few (dwelling) units to as
many as 5000 are presently being
abandoned"
The associations statement to Mr..
Wyatt asserted scarcity of Is ma
terials threatens the success of
President Truman's emergency pro-
gram, despite Government reports
of improvement in supplies.
The group presented to Mr.. Wyatt
and OPA Administrator Paul Porter
the findings of an industry survey,
naming the materials and recon-
mending remedial action-in most
cases, higher prices.
171,000 Dwellings Started.
Builders have started an estimated
17l,000 dwellings, said Joseph Meyer
hoff, Baltimore builder and associa-
ton president, while priorities have
been obtained for 100000 more since
January l.
This shows that the home build
ers of America are trying to do the
job" his statement said. How
ever, If with this start we find the
supply of building materials made
quate, how can we get into full-scale
production?
The Is totally inadequate" items,
said the survey, are asphalt shingles,
insulation board, clay sewer pipe,
soil pipe, gypsum board and lath,
hardwood flooring, warm air fur
naces, pipe and fittings, bath tubs,
pine and fir doors. millwork, and
softwood lumber and plywood.
