Building Controls Transferred to Olfirce Of The Housing Expediter

Washington, D. C., March 31-The Civilian Production Administration today transferred to the Office of the Housing Expediter its controls over construction and at the same time cleared its books of all remaining orders except those required to continue distribution controls over a half-dozen scarce industrial products and commodities.

- Abolished outright are seven limitation and material (L and M) orders, four priorities regulations and several miscellaneous directions, some of rvhich had expired by their terms.

Tansferred to the Office of the Housing Expediter, in accordance with President Truman's recent Executive Order, are Veterans' Housing Program Order 1 and all other orders and regulations in support of it. Included in these are all provisions, heretofore administered by CPA, restricting construction, channelling scarce building ma.terials into authorized residential construction and providing priorities and allocation assistance to producers of materials required by home builders.

To remain on CPA's books are orders which provide for allocation of cinchona bark and cinchona alkaloids. from which quinine is produced and streptomycin, the germkilling drug; control of distribution and use of natural and synthetic rubbers, and establishment of specifications for products manufactured from them; allocation, use and inventory limits on cordage fibers and cordage products; allocation of antimony and restrictions on the sale, distribution and use of tin and cans made from tinplate or terneplate.

Also retained is Priorities Regulation 16, which provides appeals procedures.

Trn'o new regulations, Allocation Regulations I and. 2, are being issued, said John C. Houston, Commissioner of Civilian Production. They will incofporate in abbreviated form certain provisions of the basic priorities regulations transferred to OHE and will continue the framework within which CPA will carry on its sharply limited export programs.

The regulations and orders transferrecl by CPA to OHE are Priorities Regulations l, 3,5,7,71.,8,22,33 and 35;

Veterans' Housing Program Orders 'l..,'3, 4, and 5, and Order L-357.

Provisions relating to the veterans housing program in PR's 13, 28 and 32 (revoked by CPA) will be continued in regulations of the Housing Expediter.

Pending applications on Form CPA-541A for priorities assistance under PR-28 in connection 'ivith VEHP will be processed by the Housing Expediter.

CPA's actions carry out President Truman's Executive Order-9836, issued March 22 and effective April 1, which transferred to the Housing Expediter all the {unctions oI the Office of Temporary Controls with respect to the Veterans' Emergency Housing Program which have previously been administered by CPA. Simultaneously, Housing Expediter's Priorities Order 5 is being issued by the Housing Expediter adopting, ratifying and confirming the CPA regulations and orders together rvith their interpretations, and continuing them in full force and effect as of April 1, until amended or revoked.

I\{any ol the provisions of the regulations and orders being transferred to OHE have been inoperative for some time, CPA said, and have been retained principally to assure their availability, if needed, on behalf of the housing program.

All communications rvith respect to the regulations and orders transferred by CPA, including applications for authorization under them, appeals and requests for interpretation should be made to the Office of the Housing Expediter.
