III Controls Are Kept
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

Retention Of Federal controls for
"a few more months" will make it
possible for / ,038 900 new dwellings.
including 760, 900 permanent homes,
to be completed in 1947, according
to Housing Expediter Frank r..
Creedon. n
New permanent homes already
built this year, or under construc-
tion for completion before 1948, al
ready number GIG, 900, Mr.. Creedon
said last night. Another 150, 900 can
be started and finished this year, he
added. He said non permanent dwell
lings will add 278.000 to the total.
This was Mr.. Creedon's first esti-
mate on this years housing efforts.
1t contained no definite forecast Of
the number of new homes to be
started, however. Starts have Jagged
behind 1916, so far while compile
tions have run ahead.
Reorganization Plan Opposed.
Meanwhile, Douglas Whitlock,
chairman of the Building Products
Institute, opposed President Tru-
mans reorganization plan proposing
an overall housing agency. Mr..
Whitlock said in statement that
the administrator would have "un-
limited powers to interfere with the
private building industry"
The National Home and Property
Owners Foundation attacked the
guaranteed markets" plan by which
the Government agrees to purchase
all rhsold prefabricated units at
80 per cent of the market price.
"Unsold prefabricated houses are
piling up in warehouses" Joseph H.
Deckman, the foundations housing
chairman, declared In a statement.
The market guarantee plan is
being turned into a WPA for pre-
fab manufacturers who no longer
can sell their products in view of the
increasing buyer resistance to the
high prices and low quality Of fac
tory built homes"
Diversion Of Material Feared.
Unless the Government "stops
subsidizing the prefab industry, /"
Deckman said, "it soon will own
thousands of surplus prefabs while
building materials are diverted from
conventional home builders.
But the American consumer is
getting WISE" Mr. Deckman contin-
ued, "and is refusing to be stuck
with misplaced beach cottage with
a 12x14 living room costing nearly
as much as a sturdy conventional
house."
Mr.. Creedon said his forecast of
l ,O38,000 home competitions -"the
best year since the middle COS
would be achieved "only if controls
OF non-residential construction are
continued for few months longer" /"
Many Projects Deferred.
Fright now there Is backlog of
more than $4,000, ,OOO, 900 in deferra-
BILE non-residential projects being
held up because of material Short
ages" his statement said.
IF this pentup demand were sud-
denly turned loose on the building
materials market, the resulting
scramble for materials would leave
the little fellow trying to build a
home out in the cold both literally
and f1guratively.

NEW YORK, Oct. Billy Meyer,

Hamey, who was general manager

Meyer signed for for two years and

Shadows in Stadium
Made Hits Of Yankee
Flies, Dodgers Wall
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The Dodg-
ers' Pete Reiser attributed his
ragged performance in the World
Series game yesterday-he twice
tumbled while chasing Yankee
smashes that went for triples-to
the strangeness OF the triple-decked
stadium background and to the
zones of changeable light from
which fly balls emerge.
You have to get used to it," Pete
explained. IF you flip down your
glasses too soon, you're sunk. That's
what happened to me on Billy
Johnson's triple. You've got to wait
until the ball comes into the sun
light before you tap the glasses
down. If you do 1t while the balls
in the shade, you lose it completely"
(When Reiser collapsed under
Johnson's arching fly for the second
gift triple, the unseen scoreboard
observer croaked: Harris knew
what he was doing when he would
MT let these hammy outfielders
practice in the stadium")
There was lot of sympathy for
Reiser, though-even from oppon-
ents. Joe Di Maggie was one who
came to the defense of the Dodger
star. That sun and the haze that
hangs over the Stadium makes it
tough out there" he said. II have
a little trouble myself"

Hermanski. II knew the ball was

and I didn't see 1t again until it
hit the ground.

As tolo 70 Jchh r. Sofmchdet
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The
Yankees are letting the Dodgers
make themselves look silly. This
isn't a great Yank team, by any
means, but it is making the most
of everything at its command.
Like in that second game. for
instance, somebody on the bench
was calling every pitch for
Catcher Yogi Berra.
I don't know whether Bucky
Harris or Coach Charley Dresser
was telling him what ball to call
for at each hitter, but he def
nitely looked for a sign on every
pitch. That shows Harris has
good Judgment. Berra is young
catcher, not a very good one. and
is playing his first World Series.
What is more natural than for a
manager to ease his response
