 But most of the people who in need of homes are in the low and low-midde income group. The ex- perts estimate that 600O000 such families need new dwelling places The best hope for boosting home structon they say lies in building to meet the demands of this group.
 Many government housing experts and economists, we'll members of the Senate and House, be- lieve that builders make fair profit in the con- struction of low prices homes, and that of them will turn oths that they have skinned the from the housing market. They concede however, that only government subsidy make it feasible for pr vate interests to build for the very low income families

It will be stimulated they say not only by public housing and slum clearance bill next session. well the Housing Act of 1948 but also by developments within the indus try which will lower the cost of construction.

END OF THE HOUSING BOOM
(By Clarke Beach)

The boom in home building is over at least temper arily
 The end of the housing boom after the first World War in 1925-4 years before the whole economy began to dsnegrate. But leading economists here such dire portent in this drop in housing production.
 The main reason, as they interpret it, is that the builders have been putting houses for the carriage trade. And the bloom is off that market Most of the people who badly in need of houses after the and could afford to pay high prices for them taken of The peak of that demand passed in late 1946 and early 1947
 The people who still want to invest in the new rela- lively high priced homes moreover, aren't finding it so easy finance them they did year two ago h. tereSt rates have gone up b Some sellers requir ing larger down payments And veterans, who used to do large part of the buying, finding it harder to get loans Lenders do not consider the governments fnanc did, did ''' '''@'''' ''' ''''' 60 '''' ~' ~
 ''In general" said one prominent economist in the housing field people are losing faith in the housing market at the present prices
 The Housing Act of 1948 doesn't seem to have had much effect the home construction industry That act contained most of the financing features of the jected ft-Ellender-Wagner housing bill It in- tended to make it easier to finance the building and buying of homes costing about S11 ,OOO or less
 The sponsor of the act, Rep Wolcott (R.Mch), pre- dicted that as result of it 100000 nOn-farm dwelling units would be started in 1948.
 As now estimated by the Labor Department, how ever, the housing starts totaed only 925,OOO The monthly total of houses started began to drop in
 
 wasn't seasonal The winter building Hull ordinarily doesn't come until October or November
 The experts in the Commerce and Labor Departments predict that only 900 housing starts will be made in l949 Even if the Taf-EllenderWagn Bill is passed which political observers think is certain it will than extra 30000 to 35OO0 additional hous ing starts during the year.
 It will thus be probably we'll year before the a-time record for home building is equalled- 900 dwelling units in 1925 (These built when the U. S. population only 115 831 963. Now it is about 147,28O OOO.)
 The decline has not hit the construction industry whole Both the volume and dollar value of overall sructon has been steadily rising. Commerce and Labor expect about the amount of construction in 1949 as in le48 although predicting that the cost of building will be per cent higher.
 Industrial construction is expected to decline in l949 But offsettng both that and the fall in home construc ton anticipated rises in the amount of construction work to be done in commercial, institutional public utility and governmental construction work Most of the latter is expected to be schools and hospitals built for the Veterans Administration and the Public Health Service
 The volume of home construction is not actually low. In 1946 only 4130O0 housing units were produced The average in the 1930s only 273O00 year In 1947 it
