REPRESEN Bldg., Se {TERP'RISE TEST OF FREE Housing expediters don't like it, most veterans' organizations don't yet know what to think and the industry is confident a real construction boom will be touched off.” Reactions are varied to recent decontrcl moves in the building field, pd ticularly President Truman's steps ending rigid control of residential housi t would require a seer to say just what the con- sequences will be. Clearly, however, stimulation of building should result and at this point almost any home building will help; the shortage is that acute, If private enterprise and the Federal government together can carry out the promise of President building man's new housing program, it should be incomparably more successful than the program which was started last February. The new plan marks the end of some of the worst defects of the 1946 plan, L4 Though the immediate reaction of scme veterans organizations is unfavorable, that was inevitable. The former Admiuistrator of Housing, Wilson Wyatt, was persuasive in making veterans believe that the highway to low-rent housing lay through strict Federal control This fallacy was exposed when red tape and excessive regulation drove investors into hiding and actually delayed the production of housing except where profit was practically assured the builders. It is now hoped to induce much heavier investment in new apartment houses and other multiple dwellings for rent. Essential controls have been re enforced to be effective. One of th se is the limitation of non-residential censtruction; another is the ban on | needed building materials. The emphasis m on living quarters designed to be to tenants is important The plan to encourage an apprentice program that will increase the labor supply in building is likewise commendable. If manufacturers of housing mate: can now produce without hindrance, the increase in residential construction in 1947 should such that the total of all dwelling space in the Nation will be considerably increased exportation ¢ in the new proj rented rather than sold The more ex sive homes probably will be fav- ored in this relaxation of the price ceiling, though by no means to the exclusion of the low and moderate priced dwellings. And, let it be remembered, when r $1.50 per month; 00 ained, but must be certainly be | body “m vacate a dwelling place tion of upper-bracket homes will not be without its ultimate benefit to people looking for moderate priced structures. The same thing may be said of the ending of specific priorities for veterans. No matter who builds a new house for personal occupancy, it makes one more house available for homeseekers, and we're not altogether sure that in the long run it was doing veterans a favor to encourage them especially to inves in new houses at inflationary cost. If they can find somewhat older houses to rent or buy, they may find themselves financially better off in several years. e various priorities and restrictions on resi- dential construction have been a hindrance as well as a help. Without them, the industry can do busines faster and possibly better. It remains to be seer whether good judgment in the home constructior industry will safeguard against a selfish scramble. Moscow says that the coldest place in the world is Oimekon, Siberia, where a temperature of 94.36 belov zero Fahrenheit has beén recorded. This is one Rus sian claim to supericrity which is unlikely to arous any envy elsewhere in the world ' “Every morning when I arise I laugh long heartily,” asserts a psychologist. Poor fellow!

Ameri- cans, he assures his countrymen, are natively intel gent, but are victims of a vast but subtle and well- masked propaganda—which, of course, is the work of the newspaper and magazine press and radio bread- casting | In a correct.

The 4 e American newspaper, Mr. Ehrenberg says (ignoring the newsprint shortage), “is 32 pages land is full of misinformation.” Again, he is not whelly wrong. American newspapers print what John Lewis s, and what President Truman says. print what Albert Einstein says, and what the Colum. bians in Atlanta say. Because they will print anybody's version of anything, provided it be of some possible !interest, they are inevitably going to provide some misinformation. They even print what Ilya Ehrenberg says—about themselves. | The American newspaper, we might cbserve in {summary, is of 32 pages and full of misinformation, because it reflects the divergent notions of a diverse (and plain-spoken nation.
