Wyatt Says Housing
Is Beginning 10 Close
Gap on Demand
BY III. A.soeIs..d Press

CLEVELAND. Oct. l2.-produc-
tion In the two-year race to meet
the demand for housing has been
rolling along at q rapidly increasing
clip, and It's just starting to close
the gap on demand" National Hous-
ing Expediter Wilson Wyatt said
tonight.
"But it's a two-year race. We've
only finished one-third, and the
toughest third at that he declared
in a speech before the annual con-
vention Of the National Association
Of Housing Ofi1cials.
Summarizing progress on the vet
erans' emergency housing goal Of
2, zoe, 900 homes and apartments un-
der construction in the years 1916
and io47, Mr.. Wyatt said that In
the first eight months 7o8,O00 homes
and apartments were placed under
construction, and 350,000 dwellings
were completed.
"But meanwhile" !" housing demand
has been leaping ahead like the
hare, and so far 1t hasn't stopped
| to rest. On the other hand, housing
production, fortunately, has not been
initiating the tortoise" Mr.. Wyatt
said.
He noted that 1900 900 men were
demobilized In the second month
after v-J-Day, that the current
monthly marriage rate Is 100000.
employment is at an all-time high, !"
and said:
"There's your demand. It's reach-
ing its peak in one year"
There is criticism. and dcfeatism
and feeling OF Illustration among
many citizens" because "the impos-
sible hasn't been done in eight
months but will take a little longer, !"
he declared.
"This feeling is no accident. It's
the result Of an organized campaign
by those who put profits ahead Of
veterans, by those who want no
ceilings Of any kind on prices or
rents or homes, by those who want
no limit on what they can wiring
from the homeless"

WYATT CUSTER BLOW TO VETS

(BH HENRY G. FLElSHER from CIO UNION NEWS SERVICE)
National Association for the Advancement Of Colored People
The foundation dropped out of the governments housing
program last week, and war veterans were the worst sufferers
Wilson Wyatt, who had built up one of the capitals bright
est records in his eightmonth tenure as National Housing
Administrator, submitted his resignation TO the President.
His departure from top government ranks-the latest in a
series which has seen the Administration lose many of its
most capable executives-was a victory for privateprofit
housing interests, which have been cunning for his scalp and
for the demise of the National Housing Administration.
Wyatts resignation was based on his failure to get Pres1-
Dental backing in his demands for RFC support Of a big
scale program of prefabricated homes, and for retention of
sufficient price and priority controls to keep the home build
ing plans on the beam
His resignation was also a victory for George F. Allen,
''court jester of top government circles. chairman of the
RFC and an intimate friend of the President. r.. ]. Thomas
head of the Clio housing committee, last week described AL
len a IS a 'ffth-cOlumn AGENT of the private profits housing
lobby.
In a final statement, Wyatt charged that the housing crisis
is now al a peak. Housing, he added, 'as our number one
domestic problem required the rentention of present
federal CONTROLS"
With powers granted to it from the Pattman Act, the Ma
tionaI Housing Administration had had wide authority to al
locate building materials, spur construction of low and me-
dunn cos, housing for veterans, subsidize professors of build
ing materials, mack loans to producers, and regulate all
phases of the housing program.
In seeking to use that authority, however, Wyatt, found
himself at constant odds with other government agencies
which were reluctant to admit that the veterans housing
program was a top-grade emergency measure.
In a statement following Wyatts resignation, Pres. Tru-
man argued that the first phase of the housing program had
been completed, and that it could be continued within the
existing government framework of decOntrol policies.
spectators and profiteers have apparently convinced
Pres. Truman that ample housing is just around the corner.
That concept, without the support of a determined govern
ment program is as illusory as the prosperity that kept hid
den behind the corner of Herbert Hoover's Imagination
declared Chairman Thomas of the CLIO housing group.
Thomas scored smear propaganda of the real estate lobby
