8001000 N"w Homes in 1952

Autho fized

\\,-ashington, Jar. 2l-The Government gave the constrrlction industry a go-ahead today for 800,000 new homes and apartments in 1952, provided builders keep a tight rein on the use of scarce materials.

The figu:e announced by Housing Administrator Foley represents a compromise r,vith the industry u'hich protested stronglv against an earlier tentative proposal to cut the total to about 6 0,000 new units.

Horvever, on an annual basis it 'lvill mean about 22 per cent fewer homes and apartments can be.started this year tharr the 1.090.000 constructed in 1951.

The Government also told builders that app:oximately 200,000 of the new starts must be made in delense areas u,here housing is critically short and that they s'i11 have to <lig into their present stocks of scarce materials such as copper and alttminum.

Foley said builders r.l'ill need to "exercise much self discipline" in order to stay rvithin the 800,000 limitation.

Simultaneously, the National Procluction -A.uthoritv saicl it is tightening its p:ogram which limits construction of stores, churches, office buildings and other big projects using large amounts of structural steel.
