prices of materials and building
products soaring again.
Stable Prices Likely.
The F. w. Dodge Corp, fact
finding organization for the building
industry, based its forecast of 2
per cent decline in dollar volume OF
1949 construction in 81 Eastern
States on the assumption that costs
would approximate l948 averages.
Advising against pinning much
hope on cost reductions in 1949, the
Dow Service, publishers of daily
building reports, expressed belief any
such adjustments would not exceed
5 per cent.
Rising costs and buyer resistance
played a big part in shifting en-
phasis to lower priced housing Tor
1949. Prospects of Federal activity
in this field also may have had an
effect.
Federal Housing Administrator
Raymond Foley said Congress would
be asked to renew Federal aid for
projects for low-income families.
And Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
said almost none of current build
ing satisfies the demand for low-rent
housing.
Prefabricated house producers saw
in a new FHA low-cost home pro-
gram a possible chance for them to
obtain a greater share Of the market.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Plastics got
out of the gadget stage this year
and entered a new era of COM
mercial development as one of the
Nations leading basic materials.
Plastics have been with us nearly
100 years, but it took the war to
create an urgency for development.
the period of postwar shortages
to open a tremendous market, a
gigantic expansion program to meet
the demand.
Today plastics are being used for
such a variety of products that
even the chemical companies max
ing the basic raw material are sur
prised every week by some new ap-
plication.
Plastics production in 1948 was
estimated at s1,0O00OO,OOO with VOL
ume between 1,400, 100000 pounds
and 1,600,000,O00 as against 1851
299 600 in 1947 and only 130,358,652
in 1888. Volume in 1948 was a record.
A new one is expected to be set
in 1s49.
A vast SITS 100000 postwar ex-
panSion program will be virtually
completed in early 1949.
