Limitations Revision Bill
Sent 10 Floor Of Senate
by the Asseeiaisd Press

The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee yesterday approved legislation
which would suspend the opera
ton Of the statute of limitations
for Government officials.
The measure, which now goes
to the Senate, would make the
statute effective three years after
an employe ends his Government
service.
The law defines the length Of
time during which q person may
be prosecuted for any crime or
breach Of his official duties. For
most misdeeds the presentation
must begin within three years Of
the date when the alleged action
took place.
The proposed law would suspend
this for Government officials and
make the running Of the three
year period start at the conclu-
sion Of their Government service.
This would provide time for check
ing of records after employees leave
the service.

Urge No Square-Fo

By Robert J. Lewis
Ssar Stuff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Washing-
ton delegates to the convention Of
the Nations home builders today
urged the Government to drop its
plan to impose a square-foot limi-
tation on the size Of homes in
1852.
At the same time, delegates said
they considered Housing Admin
istrator Raymond M. Foley's tar
get Of 100000 homes for this year
a realistic one"
The 800, ,000-unit goal was an
nounced yesterday after earlier
statements by National Production
Authority officials indicated hous-
ing production would be held down
to 100000 homes.
Limitation Studied.
The Washington Star recently
disclosed that the Housing and
Home Finance Agency and the
NPA were studying q square-foot
Limitation plan to spread ma
terials available this year to a
greater number Of homes than the
600,0 900 proposed by NPA.
Under this plan, the Govern
ment would forbid construction Of
larger houses. Maximum size has
not yet been announced, but Of
ficials have been speaking In terms
of 1900 square feet.
Russell B. Martin, president Of
thee Washington group and leader
of it's 75-man delegation, said he
considered a square-foot limita-
ton unnecessary.
"All the Government needs to
do is tell builders how much ma
terial they can use." he said. ut
doesn't need to limit the size Of
the house.
Substitutes Proposed.
eff the purpose is to save ma
terials. builders can be relied upon
to turn out houses Of many size
groups by using substitutes for
scarce materials.
Holding houses to a small size
Is not going to help large families
in the Washington area. or in the
country as a whole. There is nc
point in reducing home sizes. They
are small enough as it is. Build.
ers can handle the job Of meeting
the needs Of all types of families
