Construction Of New Homes Shows Increase

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Builders started 67,000 new permanent nonfarm dwelling units in March, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. s. Department of Labor.
 This is an increase of 10000 or 43 percent, from February, and ex- ceeds by 5000 the number started in March l947. Almost all of the new units were privately financed.
 Housing starts for the first quarter of 1948 totaled 14,000 This surpasses the achievement for the first quarter of 1947 by 16 percent despite the fact that builders in many areas of the country were forced to mark time in January and February this year be- cause of weather conditions.
 The high March level of housing activity prevailed in all areas of the country. Particularly large gains oc- cured in the Middle Atlantic States, the East North Central States, and in the East South Central States.
 Among the large cities reporting steep rises in building permits were Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio, Texas; Baltimore, Md; Chicago, Ill.,; Dearborn and Detroit, Mich. ; Denver, Colo; Memphis, Tenn. I: New Orleans, La.; New York City : Philadelphia and Upper Darby. Pa.; and several others.

$1O0 Weekly Income
By the Asseeiu,sd Prsss

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Henry A.
Wallace says fearless planning for
abundance not scarcity" could
make 1t possible for the average
American worker and farmer to
earn 500 q week.
"It can be so," the Progressive
Party presidential candidate con-
tends, IF we plan for 1t in the same
resolute way that the men In WASH
ington and Albany today are plan
ming for war;"
Speaking last night over the
American BroAdcasting Co. net
work, Mr.. Wallace said:
I'VE can get 500 o week, but we
cannot achieve this goal unless the
productivity OF the entire world Is
stepped up. This will take PLAN
ming through the Government, the
establishment of o worldwide
ever-normal granary through the
u. N. This will mean making avail
able American technology to every
country In the world - including
Russia"
Mr.. Wallace, Q farming expert
and former Secretary Of Agriculture,
declared:
II know something about this
question Of planning because I per.
sonally planned to produce album
dance In the corn fields and I saw
this dream come true
.-"I know that 1t Is possible In 10

But 1t cannot be done by the

not interested in such plans. These
