The battle over public housing
plunged into the news as the

rise in the number of residential
units put under construction, and
the Washington Veterans Ad-
ministration Office was disclosing
increased demand by builders for
VA-type mortgage financing.

Private builders protest arose
only a week after the Bureau Of

penditures for public housing rose

months Of this year while expen-
ditures for private construction
dropped by 81 per cent.

'The Federal Government is not
