James L. Taylor of the U S Department of Commerce warned at the national conference that the United States faces a shortage of about 500 000 homes.

He projected a surge to better quarters once conditions improve and stressed the vast potential for replacing substandard dwellings. The building trade is a backbone industry. rising construction would employ hundreds of thousands and stabilize the economy as revival begins.
