Washington reports that federal controls allow higher rents for newly converted housing units for veterans. OTC notes rent ceilings on conversions may shift to the Federal Housing Administration, aiming to spur investment in converting old houses into separate units. About 75,000 veteran accommodations have been provided this year, with further gains hoped for in 1947. Landlords may gain a monthly boost of 12 to 16 dollars per unit to offset rising construction costs. Also, dairy prices drop nationwide by six to nine cents per pound as butter production rises and creameries face lower selling prices. Wholesale prices in New York and Chicago slipped two to 10 cents per pound, signaling broader cuts.
