FRANCE FACING
GENERAL STRIKE
Government Workers, Min

PARIS, Feb. 22.-P)-The threat
of a general strike grew in France
today as 1900, 900 government
workers and so, 900 miners declar-
ed they would walk off their jobs
unless they received salary in
creases.
In Paris, coal was lacking for
stoves and no French language
newspapers were being published.
Approximately 1000 printers and
/, 900 gasoline station attendants
remained idle in their strike for
higher pay.
The miners were demanding as
a minimum necessity" a wage
of 1000 francs ($56) a month.
There were indications Premier
Paul Ramadier might accede to
the request, and one labor leader
said the $50 minimum would be
welcomed generally throughout the
nation.
The 7%,000-franc minimum was
asked for beginners, who now
make around 5000 francs. Regu-
lars in the coal districts of France
make from Is, 900 to 20, 10000 francs
per month, plus bonuses.
Government workers we're ask
ing a 20 per cent general increase.
Approximately 1900 government
employers were said to be max
ing less than the $50 minimum.

Vote Slated
On Spending
OF Military
Powerful Group OF Con-
gressmen In Both Parties
Hold Upper Hand
SENATORS LEAD
Some Lawmakers Predict
Strongest Resistance To
Any Major Slash

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-R)-A
powerful group of congressman of
both parties appeared in position
today to hold any reduction in
army-navy funds to about $780,
900, 900.
The group will constitute an I'M
questioned majority in the Senate
when it votes, possibly Monday,
On a proposal to pledge a $33, O0O,-
600, 600 ceiling on total spending
for the year beginning July l..
This promised limitation - 81
500, 900, 000t under the figure pro-
posed by President Truman. but
81, 500, 900, 900 more than the House
voted allows only comparative
ly minor cuts in the $11, 200, 900, 600
Mr.. Truman said would be neces-
sary for national security.
Supporting the military funds in
the Senate are leaders Of both par
ties, including Senators Vanden-
berg of Michigan and Taft of Ohio
on the Republican side and such
influential Democrats as Senators
Tydings of Maryland and George
of Georgia.
The military groups strength in
the House was less apparent, but
it had had no real chance to dis
it had had no real chance to dis
leaders barred amendments to the
resolution for the Sc, 900, 600, 900
cut.
Some congressman predict that
when Army and Navy a%ppropria-
tons bills, which determine the
amounts the services actually will
get, come before the House there
will be the strongest kind of re-
sistance to any major slash.
Any cuts the House makes in
these funds seem likely to be re-
stored. at least in part, by the
Senate. Thus the final appropria-
tons would represent a COM
promise.
Many legislators believe this
compromise will range somewhere
between a $500, DOC, 900 to S1,0O0,-
900. 900 reduction in the overall de-
tense total.
The possibility of a drastic cut
back in plans for National Guard
and reserve components of the
army is expected to be considered
at a session of army officials open
ing Monday.
The meeting Of the War Depart
ment general staff committees on
National Guard and reserve policy
was called by Secretary of War
Patterson, an announcement said,
Ito study problems connected with
the reserve and National Guard
components."
Patterson, in an address at New
York a few days ago, declared a
81, 900, 600, 900 cut. in the military
budget would require a reduction
of so per cent in the program for
the guard and reserve.

Relaxation
Of Controls
Is Foreseen
Great Efficiency In Con-
struction And Production
Given AS Reason
NEW JOBS SEEN
Expediter Frank Creedon
Sees Big Construction
Year For Nation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-(RH
Housing Expediter Frank R.
Creedon predicted tonight the 1947
housing effort will find building
costs lower but may hit a major
bottleneck'' in a shortage of labor.
Creedon, in a final report on
the 1916 housing drive run by his
predecessor, Wilson Wyatt, said L.
0c3, 900 new dwellings We're start
ed, 661, 900 completed, and the
housing industry almost complete
ly reconverted "to a peacetime
basis"
For 1947 ne predicted 1000, 600
new homes started and an equal
number completed in a 'big con-
struction year" marked by con-
tinued improvement of the mater
ials shortages.
There should be further relaxa-
ton of building controls, Creedon
said.
And he added: sit is expected
that lower building costs will re-
suit from greater efficiency in ron
struction and production"
eff the volume of new construc-
ton in 1947 approximates SIS, co.
600, 900 as the department of COM
merce estimates" Creedon said,
Labor shortages may well become
the major bottleneck in the hous-
ing program.
ut is generally expected that
labor requarcTaaentsSehis year, will
outstrip last years demand CON
siderably. The result will probably
be more numerous and more seri-
GUS craft shortages than in 1916"
OF the 661, 900 compilations last
year, tWo-thirds were new per-
manent houses and apartments.
The record:
New permanent units: $40, 900
begun; 453, 800 completed.
Federal temporaries: 1871, 900 be-
gun; 101. 900 completed.
Trailer: $4,000 began; 48, 900
shipped.
Temporaries financed by schools
and local governments: 90, 200 be.
gun; 49, 900 finished.
Conversions of existing struc-
lures: $4,000 begun; As, 300 finish
ed. =.
The last figure covers residences
remodeled to provide new rental
rooms or apartments. 1t is sharply
lower than previous estimates OF
the e%xpediter''s office, which had
$4,000 completed in the first ten
months of 1916 alone.
The report does not cover ICON
versions" which depleted the
housing supply. The national as
sociation of real estate boards ez-
Inmates 120, $50 residences have
been rebuilt into stores or offices
since 1912.
Average sales price of new houses
last year was $500 and the aver
age monthly rental $50, Creedon
said. ga large portion of new
housing was too expensive for
many veterans"
Although DIT least HALL Inc Vet-
Grams want to rent rather than
buy, AZ per cent of the starts
last year were rental units and As
per cent of these we're of temper
