Maenner of Omaha said he aimed to show who is pulling the wool over the public’s eyes while the NAHB faulted federal and local housing authorities for distortion. Builders boast nearly 3,000,000 homes since the war and warn the bill would add about 19.0 billion to federal outlays, threatening economic welfare. Maenner disputes Truman’s cost claim, noting an authorized figure of 19.3125 billion over the period.
