Builders See No Hope to Hit Goal
The National Association of Home Builders told housing officials that output of critical building materials is totally inadequate to meet vigorous action. Veterans may wait a year for promised homes as shortages persist across products like asphalt shingles insulation board gypsum board lumber and plywood. The group urged remedial action including higher prices to address 15 scarce items noted in an industry survey. The statement references Wilson Wyatt Jr. and OPA Administrator Paul Porter.

Bombers target German submarine pens with earth shock bombs
American and British heavy bombers strike the 50 million dollar submarine pens near Bremen using earth shock bombs in a major postwar test. Four B 29s and B 17s plus Lancasters shuttle between Bremen and Marham England for evaluation of deep-penetration attacks on reinforced concrete targets. The Farge pens feature walls 14 feet thick and roofs up to 23 feet thick as observers note limited wartime roof hits.

Cross Breed Four Dairy Cows Boost Butterfat 20 Percent
The U S agriculture department reports that cross breeding Holsteins Guernseys Jerseys and Red Danes with proven sires at Beltsville since 1939 produced butterfat 20 percent above expected. Three breed cross matings and successive sire lines yielded many cows surpassing their dams in production. By bred vigor may explain the unexpected gain.

New Car Prices Set To Rise Amid Wage-Driven Costs
A CPA official private briefing says new car prices will climb by an average 4 to 5 percent within about ten days. The increase aims to offset higher steel and parts costs under the wage price policy and could end the auto price hikes allowed under the liberalized policy.

Auto price hikes cut into 1945 consumer costs
OPA reports dealers’ profit margins will not be trimmed further as auto prices rise due to an average $5 per ton steel boost approved in February and wage hikes by 18 cents hourly. Higher parts costs and design changes also drive increases, undermining 1945 forecasts that cars would stay as in 1942.
