Washington, D. C., May l4-More than 4,500,000 nerv homes have been added to the national housing supply since the end of the war, including dwellings norv under construction, C. B. Sweet, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated Saturday.

"The total, which includes 720,M ne'iv farm homes, rneans that the supply of housing in this country has increased about one-eighth in the S-year period." Mr. Su'eet said.

"The Ilureau of Labor Statistics estimates that non-farm housing starts again broke all monthly records during April, wl-rer-r 12(r,000 non-farm units were put under construction, reflects a steadily growing appreciation by the public of the values and comforts found in today's nerv homes.

"Retail materials dealers across the country report that, while the supply of some materials has become tight, because of the unprecedented home building volume and the large amount of public construction, there should be a sufficient supply of building products to permit indefinite continuation of the high rate of housing starts, if the demand holds up.

"Dealer inventories of certain premium grades of lumber, gypsum board and lath, and various specialties are at lorv levels in some sections, but production is at record levels in most cases and can be increased if the demand is maintained."
