Mr.. Wyatt has reported, and the
number of new starts at last reports
had fallen short of the housing pro-
gram goal.
Mr.. WAITS statement came after
Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., housing
chairman of the American Veterans
Committee, told newsmen the Gov
eminent was permitting IAN orgy of
building which includes honky-
tonks, race tracks and swimming
pools-but not homes"
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was asking
President Truman to:
/. Call special session of Con-
gress In November to pass the Wag-
ner-Ellender-Taft long-range hous-
ing bill, intended to cut housing
costs and provide 100000 dwellings
a year for 10 years.
2. Order the ALLEGATION of all
building materials, with 80 per cent
channeled directly into new houses.
Announcing the recommendations
the son of the late President
charged that a special session was
made necessary by tactics en-
ployed by number of Republicans
in the Banking and Currency Com
mittee Of the House that prevented
the housing bill from reaching the
floor"
Victim of Few Republicans
Asked whether he thought the
Wagner -Ellender-T Taft bill was a
partisan issue, Mr.. Roosevelt told
reporters, 1T would certainly seem
to be because the opposition
came from Republicans. Remember.
though, that the name of Senator
Taft Republican, of Ohio was on
the bill.
Asked to name specifically Re-
publican members of Congress he
had in mind, Mr.. Roosevelt singled
out Representatives Wolcott of
Michigan, Gamble of New York
Smith Of Ohio and Buffet of Ne
braska, as "the leaders"
Praising the Wyatt housing plan,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, however, its
benefits ARE lost to some 5000, 900
veterans who have an income of
$50 or less a week-witf average
costs under the program at SIS a
month for buying home and $50
a month for renting one"
This vast group needs the type
OF low-cost housing provided by the
ner-Ellender-Taft BILL" he de-
clared.
Turning to the AVG request that
30 per cent of building be for homes
Mr.. Roosevelt said Civilian Pro-
duction Administration figures show
that through July OF this year. COM
mercial and industrial construction
has totaled $3.50, 900 900, while the
same period has seen 81 ,672 900 00(
worth of home building.
Final CPA Approval Lacking.
Mr.. WAITS program has yet Il
receive final approval Of John D
Small, head of the Civilian Pro.
duction Administration, who con.
trolls nonhousing construction. Mr.
Wyatt's aides said Mr.. Small har
conquered lin principle
Mr.. Small, who believes that non.
