Housing measure pushes 2.7 million homes by 1947
Housing expeditor Wilson Wyatt hails final passage of a veterans housing bill drafted by house and senate conferees. The measure includes 400 million dollars in subsidies to boost building materials, a one billion dollar increase in mortgage lending, and priority channels for low to mid priced homes through 1947. It also adds vet preferences and export limits on lumber amid shortages. The draft extension survives, extending selective service to July 1 to avoid expirations, as congress acts amid British loan talks and labor legislation.
