e PAGE SIX ¢ VETERAN year or so ago it was cigar- ettes—you couldn’t get 'em. That is, civillans couldn't. The result was a lot of people started rolling their own, or did@ without Now it's houses, and you roll a house. So what's the wer for the 2,900,000 married service people who will need homes by the end of this year? Are they going to get the homes they need? And how about the more than 1,200,000 families living doubled up with other families? President Truman, like every one else who's not living in bird cage, is well aware of this housing shortage—it's being called the “housing problem.” He's put a man can't ans- ex- in charge of doing something about it, and he's given him the title of “National Housing Expeditor. He His name is Wilson .Wyatt once the mayor of Wyatt has plants, to get houses built. will be temporary, some them will be prefabricated, some will be war-housing units, moved to spots where they will do the most good, and some will be the kind you've dreamed and schemed for In fact, anything you live in will be used and made available in one way or another. But it takes time. A house can't be built in the same time it takes to put up 2 shelter-half, or to string a jungle lots of plans Some of them of can hammock. What chance do you have to get a house? Wyatt's plan calls for the start of production of 1,200,000 homes by the end of 1946, and another 1500000 before 1947 ends. That's over a year and a half away, Alrea the program has been delayed by three months. It's be- cause not everybody in Cor has been in agreement with Wyatt on the best way to stimulate the production of building materials for these 2,700,000 housing units— homes and apartments. And what happens between now and the time these 200,000 units are ready for the “Welcome” door- mat? Perhaps part of the a wer lies in temporary, “re-u war housing. The National Housing Agency e€s- timates that 200,000 of these tem- porary units probably will become ovailable, sometime this year, to vetera Only vete s can use them. Most college will go to commun- these units and of canpuses By MAJOR THOMAS THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA from Sitka: R. M. Fleming, D. Hi Mrs. G. E. Randolph Clifton, Mrs. D. A.
