Rise in Construction
BoIsters Prediction oil
More Jobs by Tobin
BY the Associoted Press

A forecast of further moderate
increases in construction work in
the near future came from the
Federal Reserve Board today.
Because construction is one Of
the main bulwarks of business ac-
tivity and employment, this fur
nished some backing for a pre-
diction by Secretary of Labor
Tobin that employment will go up
by 100000 the rest of this year.
Mr.. Tobin made the prediction at
the White House yesterday.
The reserve board, in a pub
lication, noted contract construc-
ton was providing jobs for more
than 100000 workers at mid
year.
Even while activity declined
substantially at the Nations fac
tories and mines in the spring and
early summer, construction was
scoring more than seasonal
rise from its low winter levels, sthe
board report showed.
That was one factor credited by
the Commerce Department with
cushioning the decline in the total
output of goods and services
the "gross national product
during the second quarter of 1949
Down 2.4eo From First Quarter.
This output was at an annual
rate of $256, 100. 100000 in the Sec
ond quarter, down "a per cent
from the preceding quarter and
down 5.3 per cent from the peak
reached in 1948's final quarter.
The Commerce Department
blamed a cutback in business in
ventories for the decline since
that cutback narrowed the mar
ket for goods and services.
The reserve board bulletin cred
tied a pickup in private housing
recently to a variety Of factors.
including:
/. "A small decline in interest
rates generally" and-"perhaps
more important"-the availability
of Federal funds to buy mortgages
from institutions which felt
loaned up" thus providing them
funds for use in new lending.
2. Availability of new houses
"at somewhat lower prices" a
shift to construction of smaller
homes and improvement in "the
quality of design. equipment and
workmanship in most areas"
8. The fact that many families,
all set with plans to buy and bol-
stored by relatively high-level in
comes and savings for the Nation
at large, simply have become
reconciled to the high level of
prices"
Among observations on con-
struction in the board report:
CONSTRUCTION costs = have
declined in recent months (but)
considering the exceptionally high
levels reached last year, changes
SO far have been moderate, and
in most lines costs during the first
half of this year were not much
different from a year earlier"
Purchases of both old and new
houses increased seasonally during
the spring, but sales of old houses
have apparently been below earlier
