'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.
