Griffee recounted that one point of disagreement in Mr. Truman's CEA lay in the number of additional dwellings needed in the United States, and said that some member.s of the council believed that nearly four million housing uni'ts, not included in Bureau of Labor Standards statistics, have been added since the war by modernizing old houses, switching non-residential property to housing and break_ ing large old homes up into apartments.

"This," he declared, "may be why we seem to be catch_ ing up with housing demand faster than was expected.,,
