Rex B. Baxter of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce explains that National Housing Agency approval for 200 more houses does not create new war housing. He says the action aims to remove postwar building limits, restore prewar style homes, promote owner-occupancy, and uses a $7500 sales ceiling to curb speculation.
