Housing Plaiij
WASHINQTON, Dec. SO-HAV
Veterani are expected to 'get .the
lion's share of homes built under
the government's new housing
program. a &
Federal officials working out
details of the program said; today
that this was just what President
Truman; had in mind when he or
dered that veterans be given a
preference in the sale or J rental
of new homes costing $10,000 or
less. ? I m 1 .--I' ;
These officials, who! asked that!
they not be identified; said their
best guess was that at least 75
per cent of all homes built next
year may be purchased or rent
ed by veterans. ! ;l ; .
They pointed out that veterans
will have no priority on any homes i
built to sell! at more than $10,000.
