Home Building Action
Slated al Meeting Of
Wyatt Committee

With many signs pointing to a
showdown in the Nations housing
program, National Association of
Home Builders officials and its
Wyatt committee" meet Monday
and Tuesday with Housing Expediter
Wyatt In an effort to obtain more
effective action for builders from
Government.
The association declared that
with the home building situation
remaining critical, the meeting of
the directors and the Wyatt COM
mittee will be of utmost impor-
tance."
Mr.. Wyatt promised earlier this
week series of sweeping steps"
that will speed up the tagging hous-
ing program. Officials indicated
the first of these measures will be
announced next week.
Channeling of Materials.
They include channeling of a
much greater volume of materials
to the veterans emergency housing
program and broad compliance
measures to see that producers and
distributors of materials actually
hold them for the program.
Nonhousing construction is ex-
pected to take another cut, under
the stspped-up program now being
worked out by housing officials.
Ernest F. Henry, executive direc-
tor of the Washington Home Build
ers' Association, warned yesterday
that certain building material items
are so scarce as to 'imperil the
major portion" of the Washington
area veterans housing program
Water and sewer pipe are particu-
larly short with only 30-day sup
ply on hand. Mr.. Henry said. Build
Ing programs for the area will have
to come to a standstill after pres
ent water pipe supplies are ex-
hausted, he warned.
Cement Difficult to Get.
While still in good supply at pro-
duction points, cement Is difficult
to procure here because of a grow
ing freight car shortage. Plywood,
Mr.. Henry pointed out, is denied
conventional builders and is allo-
Gated to prefabricators.
The whole building picture was
reviewed by the association at a.
two-day conference this week, at
tended by number of Government
housing officials.
A report this week of the F. w.
Dodge Corp. fact-fnding body for
the construction industry, under
scored the housing situation. A
study showed that contracts awarded
for residential construction in 81
States east of the Rocky Mountains
dropped Is per cent in July COM
pared with June.
The corporation attributed this
to the inadequate supply of build
ing materials and, in some areas.
to shortages of building craftsmen.

 It leads surely the day when Union bosses, under threat of strike will demand the right to tell whGt make, vhem make it, where make it, and how much charge yOW-a with eye what labor take of the business rather than the vGIMe thG into Me product.
