This was provided by the Patman Housing Acts “With the Wyatt program,” says FPHA Commissioner Phil- ip M.

It includes the hope that passage of the Wagner-El- lender-Taft bill, or a similar one sponsored. by Rep. McCormack (D.-Mass.), will permit an ex- panded” low-rent program, to march along hand-in-hand, with aecelerated private building.’ _ Given ‘the’ authority and money proposed ‘in ‘either ‘of those two bills, FPHA could get started on its plan to build 125,000 low-rent units a year for the next’ four years. Local housing authorities already have asked for help on projects totalling 360,000 units to be built over the next three’ yéars. The ‘ government's ‘ double- barrelled! program for private ‘and: public building is’ dimed ‘at ‘what’ Khitznick calls “the goal of ‘good homes: and livable neighborhoods for American veterans.” He believes the job of the gov- ernment is cut out for it by this fact: “A reasonable gap—at least 20 percent—is left between the top | of the low-income market and the lowest possible income group that | private enterprise can serve. We must recognize that public hous-! | ing is here to stay.
