(AP) New home building, opening a vast field of expenditure for construction ma terials and household equipment, stood out In the business picture to day as the backbone of what analysts described as a clearly-defined au tumn revival trend. Latest data, showing residential building running well ahead of 1037 in contrast with a lag In most In dustries, bolstered the bid of "home sweet home" to be the 1938 theme song of business. The F. W. Dodge Corp., gatherer of building data, reported contracts awarded last month for dwelling ac commodations of all kinds In ' 37 states east of the Rocky Mountains totaled $99,574,000. compared with o5.S9O.0O0 In September last year. an Increase of 53 per cent. The September total was a little under the August figure of 899.733. 000. But P. W. Dodge Corp. noted the daily average of September was "somewhat higher than the August dally average whereas there la usually a seasonal decline In September." Contributing to the September total were two big housing projects tn New Vork City, Including the first slum clearance undertaking In the new federal -financed home pro gram, which the P. w. Dodee Corp. hailed aa "forerunners" of more to come. September contracts added to a mounting backlog of awards holding prospect of expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars for labor, ma terials and household equipment tn months to come. Already, analysts say, the rise In home construction haa been felt widely through Industry. Skeeter War Chest PORTLAND. Ore., Oct. 13.
