Now that the waters have sub

1Aubinoe Sees Need
For Production OF
million Homes in 81

Alvin L. Aubinoe. president Of
the Home Builders Association Of
Metropolitan Washington, says
builders believe there is need for
production Of at least a million
homes next year.
Mr.. Aubinoe's statement came
after he returned with other Dis
trict area builders from the fall
meeting Of directors of the Ma
tional Association of Home Build
ers. Sessions were held in Atlantic
City.
Discounts InfiatiOnary Fear.
Construction of a million homes
next year would not have an in
Fflationary effect. he said.
1T was the feeling among
members present that the indus
try can produce the same amount
of housing during 1852 as was
produced this year without add
ing to the inflationary SPIRAL" he
explained.
The chief factor which will limit
housing production next year. he
added. will be a shortage of criti-
cal metal items and a possible
manpower shortage in some areas.
Carr Also Attends.
Mr.. Aubinoe headed the WASH
ington delegation. Other officers
present included Russell B. Mar
tin. first vice president Of the
Washington group, and j. Garrett

could be considerably less than
that. Whatever it is, a tight ma
terials situation would demand
that ceiling be held at a more
exact level than the present sys-
tenn of credit controls make
possible.
Congress Alters Picture.
Regulation x and its COM
panion curbs were adopted with
the idea that if production got
out of hand down-payment re-
quirements could be stiffened
and thus act as q brake on
over-ceiling output. Congress
has since stepped into the pic
ture, however, easing the down.
payment requirements on the
under-$12.000 house.
Thus. while the Federal Re
serve Board and the Housing
and Home Finance Agency
could, in the future, tighten up
on credit for OVERSIZE 900 homes.
they would not have authority
to dampen output of houses
costing less than that amount.

By Robert J. Lewis
Reel Estats Editor of The Sfar

Officials of agencies concerned
with housing have ben discus
ing in the last few days the
question of how many homes
cna be built next year with the
materials likely to be available.
Behind the discussions is a
big question: Will the Govern
ment be obliged to bring hous-
ing production under more spe-
cif1c controls, such as, perhaps,
some form Of permit system.
The matter has not reached
the decision stage as yet, and
nothing may be done for some
time. II the materials picture
develops a darker hue, however.
there is little doubt that some
way viii have to be found to
keep housing output under a
definite ceiling.
Such a ceiling may be around
100000 to $4,000, which the
Administration now considers
proper for 1852, but it very likely

 A bettcrment of law and order and economic conditions is being brought about through new awarcness among the people of the Philippines that they must work together, Ner said before returning to his home.
