W. Dodge this week predicted a full decade of construction expansion similar to that which followed World War but without a recession at the beginning or a "bust" at the end like that of 1929. Addressing the conference of the Municipal Finance Officers Association, Holden said building costs were now double prewar costs, but that he expected to see them stabilized at levels about 60 per cent higher than those of 1939. "We are now in the same phase of postwar recovery that we were in the year 1920 the price stabilization phase," he continued. "We have completed the first phase of shortages and rapid stepping up of peacetime production."

Washington, May 31 (AP) Merger of th government's loosely knit housing functions Tinder a single, permanent "housing and home finance agency" was ordered by President Truman this week. Mr. Truman sent his proposal to Capitol Hill as "Reorganization Plan No.

3 of 1947." Tha new agency will come into being 60 days hence unless Congress specifically disapproves. While the proposed set-up would leave the emergency housing program untouched, Mr. Truman said it would set up a long-range Federal establishment which will "unquestionably make for greater economy and efficiency." The task of housing its citizens will remain a major objective of the nation "throughout the next Mr. Truman said in a message accompanying the plan. He added that, unless reasonably prompt action is taken, the improvised wartime marriage of the housing agencies will dissolve, with "consequent confusion and disruption," upon expiration of the First War Powers Act.

"When this occurs, the housing programs of the government will be scattered among some 13 agencies in seven departments and independent establishments," the President noted. Such a dispersal, he said, "not only would be inefficient and wasteful, but also would seriously impair their usefulness." The First War Powers Act expires six months after the official end of the war. At the top of the new housing pyramid would be the new cover-all agency roughly comparable to the present National Housing Agency. Under this would be created three principal operating units, as follows: (1) A Federal Housing Administration, performing the same duties as the present FHA. (2) A Home Loan Bank Board, to administer the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the Home Owners Loan Corporation and the functions of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.

(3) A Public Housing Administration, to assume the functions of the present Federal Public Housing Authority. Each of the top officials would be appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation. Mr. Truman offered the plan under the Reorganization Act of 1845, which authorizes the president to merge and liquidate government agencies in the interest of economy and efficiency, subject to a congressional veto in the form of a resolution of disapproval. He proposed that the Administrator's salary be set, by separate legislation, at $15,000 a year and the salaries of the two Commissioners and the three Bank Board members at $12,000 a year.
