Prefabrication an Issue Mr. Wyatt's proposal for govern-

ment assistance in producing 850,-

000 prefabricated or partly pre-built homes continued as a lively controversy among the directors. Conventional builders objected to the plan for a governmefit, guarantee of markets if the units are not sold privately and to the plan to convert aircraft and other facilities to their production. Some members have insisted that the conventional dwellings get preference ,on materials over the

The expediter promised also that the $10,000 ceilings on veterans’ priorities will be allowed to stand. His figure of $6000, he said, will be the goal rather than the rigid rule. “At the start it probably will be necessary to produce in the $6500$7500 bracket, but this can be brought down to around a $6000 average when the materials are again flowing freely,” he said. He assured the builders he wants a “private-enterprise program from

campaign both Mr. Gates and Mr. Sherwood went into the second district and helped put Mr, Halleck over. That was at a special election back in 1935 when Mr. Halleck became one of a small handful of Republicans in the lower house.

Unless the Ford workers vote against the new contract—which is unlikely—“Dick” Leonard will be in position to move into the elective leadership of this union wracked by internal politics. He is now merely an employee of the union. The outcome will be indicated in a union convention scheduled for March 23 | in ‘Atlantic City. | In the meantime the Reuther faction of the union is expected to throw cold water on the concessions which the Ford management says are “indicative of improved labor relations.”
