Housing program sabotaged by administration insiders
Harold L. Ickes attacks President Truman and allies in Washington, blaming George Allen, Capt. Clifford, J. A. Krug, John R. Steelman, John W. Snyder, and others for undermining the veterans housing program. He cites executive orders, policy shifts, and lobbying as factors collapsing the effort, with prefabrication and RFC renewal cited as key battlegrounds. The piece frames the controversy as a political purge against a failed housing agenda.
