'Anti-Inflation Budget' Halts Public Works Jobs WASHINGTON. Aug. 6 .! The government's $1,600,000,000 public work! program ground to virtual halt today. Federal agencies under presi dential edict set about choos ing $700,000,000 worth of con struction to defer at least until spring. Calling the step necessary to "comply with the president's anti-inflation budget," reconver sion director, John R. Steelman yesterday clamped on three way moratorium that: 1. Prevents any agency from letting contracts for any new construction during the next 56 days without his express permis sion. 2. Provides that either ci vilian production administrator, John D. Small or housing ex pediter, Wilson W. Wyatt must recommend and the reconversion director approve, non-deferrable federal construction to be started Hostel Group Visits Lake FORT KLAMATH, Aug. 6 A group of 30 youths, including 16 boys and 14 girls, left last week for California after visiting Cra ter lake on their itinerary which includes a 9000-mile train and 1000-mile bicycle trip, sponsored by the American Youth Hostel association. Ranging in age from 16 to 23 years, the hostel group started from Massachusetts on the 60-day vacation trip which took them through southern Can ada as well as to many western points in the United States. Expenses for each boy and girl i are taken care ox by me sum ol $250 paid to the association, which includes all costs and allows one dollar per day for subsistence. Outdoor cooking by the group cuts down considerably on expenses. Very tanned and fit-looking, the group left Fort Klamath on their bicycles for California last week, and from there will return to their homes in eight eastern states. between October 1, 1946 and April 1, 1947. 3. Requires the agencies to put on the deferred list at least $700,000,000 worth of construc tion, some of which may be eliminated entirely. An official familiar with the moratorium plans told a reporter the search for deferrable proj ects most likely will turn first to such military construction as warehouses and officers" clubs, some airports and certain agri cultural conservation and re clamation projects. Another official predicted that careful study also will be given to flood control projects and to public highways. These officials emphasized, however, that no specific proj ects to be postponed have yet been chosen. They pointed out that agencies have more than three weeks to review their pro grams and submit revised esti mates to Steelman. The reconversion director made it clear that the moiator ium does not affect contracts al ready awarded or iunds which have been committed for work scheduled to start before Oc tober 1. Also exempted under tne or der are projects costing no more than $3000 and veterans' hous ing and hospitals, overseas mili tary projects, the Manhattan atomic energy project and con struction of access roads to tim ber lands. As an example of the drain the federal program might im pose on supplies if it were car ried out in full, a CPA official said it would take about 27 per cent of the entire supply of ce ment and around 3 per cent of the total lumber output.
