SHORTAGES HOLDING UP ON HOUSING MorcThan 1,000,000 Men at Work. But Plans For 200,000 Home May Not be Fulfilled By JOHN DAUPPHINEE Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON Bunches of new homes are springing up like mushrooms all over Britain but the pace of construction is far too slow to satisfy the housing demands brought by six years of war. Whole new communities of metal and concrete .temporary houses have been set on bombed sites. Acres are covered by iden tical, flat-roofed dwellings that have a marked resemblance to oversize oacklnc cases with doors and windows. Elsewhere the traditional two storey brick house is being built, principally by municipal author lties for cheap rental to famines of modest Income. Since It took office a year ago the Labor government has faced a constant clamoring lor speedup In the pace of building. Works Minister George Tomlln son has said 100,000 temporary nnrl 100.000 Dermanent homes will be completed by the year- end, but the official housing fig ures suggest he will be disap Dointed. Only 20,027 permanent dwell-lngs were complete in England, Scotland and Wales between the end of the war and July 31 this year. The figure for temporaries is 40,425. In both categories, the actual construction Is well below the pre-election promises of all the major parties. At the start delays were due primarily to shortage In the con-j ' struction Industry. Now more I than 1,000.000 men are at work on building of all kinds, com pared with less than 900,000 at the beginning of the year Shortage of Materials Thfi nroblem now is a shortage of almost all building materials. The number employed In mak ing materials such as bricks, electrical eauloment and bath tubs is only about two-thirds the pre-war level while the number using the material is nearly up to 1939. Hundreds of houses could be finished and ready lor occupancy If window frames, drainpipes and other compon ents were available. Completion of temp orary houses, made of prefabricated sections fastened together on top of concrete slabs, Is taking about American Foreign Policy Being Cleared Up Again No Change Has Been Made and None Contemplated, President Truman Announces WASHINGTON, D.C.

FRENCH UNION IS APPROVED General Charles DeGaulle Loses Round In His Fight PARIS General Charles De- Gaulle lost a round today when the French assembly approved the plan of President George Be-deault for federal union. four months while permanent dwellings take anything up to eight months. While the pace of new building has been discouraging, much has been accomp,-Ushed in the repair of homes damaged by German bombs ana rockets. Up to July 3U 620,000 had been repaired. "For a government within 15 months of the. end of a great war to be approaching the comple tlon of 200,000 houses, In addition to having 159,000 building workers on war damage repairs, is a record this country has never before accroached," said Health Minister Aneurln Bevan In de fence of the Labor administra tion's housinc nrogress. The Conservative opposition takes the stand that private en terprise has not been given a fair chance and that Labor's planning has been poor. Size of the housing proDiem is demonstrated by government fig ures that 200,000 houses were destroyed by enemy action and 250,000 more made uninhabitable while wartime marriages have increased the number of family units and only about 250,000 houses have been built since 1939 compared with a pre-war annual average of 300,000.
