Housing Shortage Claimed Due To Multifarious Federal Directives Denver, Feb. 22 (U.R) Gov. John C Vivian today lashed out at the federal government's pro gram to alleviate the nation's housing problems, asserting in a letter to National Housing Ex pediter Wilson Wyatt that the problem was being attacked from the "wrong premise."

IT ly increased federal control In carrying out your concept of more houses at the earliest pos sible date," the governor stated. "I note you advocate subsidy payments for increased produc tion. "The only way to bring about greatly increased production, unless all the books on econom ics are wrong, is to allow the an cient and basic law of supply and demand to operate now. If this were done, there would be a short period of increased prices but only until healthy competi tion got Into full play. Whatever inflation might be the result of discarding the multifarious gov ernment directives, rules and regulations, would soon be dissi pated. Business would soon find a common level upon which to operate and prices would readily conform to the demand and the supply of materials and finished houses." The governor termed Wyatt's announced program calling for an expenditure of approximate ly $600,000,000 in subsidy pay ments to insure increases in pro duction of building materials a "waste of public funds." "There is absolutely no neces sity for thfls enormous appropri ation, provided you will allow business and industry to operate as usual," Vivian said. "They will furnish sufficient funds to accomplish the immediate pur pose of more and more houses." He asked that all controls be lifted to make necessary materi als available immediately.

C. Penney company will estab lish offices abroad according to an announcement by the com pany. The decision followed the report of two Penney men who visited six European countries to investigate trade centers, and the offices will be established as soon as conditions permit, it was stated. Cities famous for certain goods or products were visited by the two men, who went to England last October. They visited Man chester, England, famous for cot ton goods; Sheffield, famous for cutlery; Bradford for woollen; Nottingham for curtains and laces; Dewsbury and Whitney for blankets; Stoke-on-Trent for din ner and chinaware. On the continent they visited Grenoble, France, where gloves are produced; St. Gall, Switzer land, famous for handkerchiefs' Courtrai, Belgium, for linens, damasks and rugs, and Belfast. Ireland, one of the great linen centers of the world. The men found that England and Belgium appeared to have made the greatest strides toward cleaning up the wreckage of war. People in England, particularly, are anxious to get business on a peace-time basis, they found. One of the industries the two men watched in operation was the making of the famous Harris tweeds on the Outer Hebrides islands, and the company ex pects to handle these woolens again in the near future.
