WASHINGTON. ID. c. (NWNS)
The trend toward relaxation Of
government price and priority con
trolls was sharply reversed when
Wilson Wyatt, federal housing ex-
pediter. issued his recent order
clamping down on construction of
everything but veterans homes,
Under the new order. no new
buildings or homes can be con-
structed without government per
mission the purpose being To steer
an materials and labor into the
construction of low-priced homes
for veterans. Not only does the
order affect building. but also puts
stringent curbs on repairs of any
kind
The order prohibits the expendi-
ture of more than $40O for any
home Improvement. without get
ting special permission from the
Civilian Production administration
and limits improvements on farm
buildings 10 $1,000 Special per
mission will be given only when
the applicant can prove that a big
ger expenditure is necessary for
such reasons as health. sanitation
or safety.
According 10 Mr. Wyatt the order
was necessary because OF the
shortage OF most building mate
rials. II is estimated that the or
der will interrupt plans for $14,-
600 600 600 worth Of construction
but will speed the completion of
2 100000 dwelling units which are
urgently needed for veterans and
their families.

appropriation of $60O.000.000 for
subsidy purposes in order to speed
production Of building materials.
Although there is strong opposi-
tion to such a subsidy in congress.
it looks as though il will take
either a subsidy or an easing of
price restrictions on building mate
rails to break production bottle
necks.
Many congressman consider the
subsidy idea as merely a subter-
fuge for hiding an inflationary
movement. They argue that the
only difference between permitting
price rise and allowing a gov
ernment subsidy is this: the sub
sidy plan calls for payment of the
increased costs by all taxpayers
while price increases confine the
extra costs 10 those who will bene-
fit from the use Of building materi-

no way holding the line against in
flation If we simply keep prices
down by government handouts to
producers. If such a plan were per-
mitted in the building industry.
they point out. there is no reason
why it should not be used TO break
other bottIenecks
Eventually the answer will prob
ably be TO permit another bulge in
the price line by permitting price
increases for building materials.
Extension of selective service,
which army men say is essential
If we want to maintain strong
army. has been a subject OF bitter
debate in congress. Although the
majority in both houses realizes
the Importance OF having a strong
military force. many cannot see
why this cannot be built up by
voluntary methods.

Spreading Along
TheCreatLak
(By Associated Pres.l

CLEVELAND, Aug. 16. -
Spokesman for the CIO Maritime
Union said this afternoon that by
nightfall 100 ships would be idle
In the ports of the Great Lakes
Yesterday, when the strike be-
gan, crews of 10 ships left their
jobs, and, since then, whenever a
ship has berthed, the workmen
quit their jobs.
The same spokesman, said that
now the strike is underway, the
union has returned to its original
demands. While negotiations
were being held, union leaders
agreed to accept "A hour week,
instead of 40, as they had asked
for, and had cut down on other
demands.
But now, it was added, the de-
mands return to a 40-hour
week, preferential hiring of union
men, and sick leaves and leave
of absence that had been asked
for in the original demands.
The union moved itssheadquar-
tiers today from this city to De-
troit, where, they said, they
would be able to get additional
cooperation.
Several affiliated unions have
given assurance that none of
their members will pass picket
lines.
