Washington.—Thero’II be one leas tornado in
Kentucky this year. Wilson W. Wyatt, former
mayor at Louisville, la In Washington. ; -
President Truman ha* handed him the double-
barreled job of housing expediter and national
housing administrator. One way or another, (he
bresae from thoae appointments still will be blow-
ing when the 1948 slectloiis coma around.
The nation’s capital got used to southerners
kicking up dust a long time ago—as a matter of
fact, about as long ago la when the colonies were
trying to put 13 eggs in one basket. But for the
most part, these southerners took It kind Of slow
and easy. There always was enough huffing and
puffing before the big breeze to give fair warn-
ing........ . - •- \
Wilson Wyatt Isn’t like that. He1, blew into
town a month gt so ago and he’s still blowing a
gale which has his staff and a score of commit-
tees gasping—and already has blown the roof off
a lot of controversies. . ;
That doesn’t bother Wyatt a bit. What he’s
trying to do is put a few million roofs over the
heads of America’s houseless in the shortest pos-
sible time—a) least 2J00.000 units in the next two
years. . ,
Almost everybody says that’s impossible. But
there are a few who say the impossible is just what
the Kentucky tornado will achieve if he doesn’t
blast himself, his staff and others into utter ex-
haustion first. ,
From the day Wyatt hit Washington, he has
out-conferred his boss, President Truman, who is
just about the champion conferrer of all times.
Having only a mayor’s localized knowledge of
housing problems, the new expediter set out to
pass his national housing post-graduate tests in
about five weeks.
Starting his office work around 9 or 9 :S0 a.m.,
the genial ex-mayor of Louisville has been working
until midnight or even 5 a. m., exclusive of home-
work. There is the record of one conference that
started at 2 p. m. and went through until five the
next morning, with only time out to munch food
that was laid on the conference table. Less than
five hours later, the Kentuckiun was back at his
desk, as fresh as a new-plucked sprig of mint.
Until he announced hie program, Wyatt, ordi-
narily a fairly talkative fellow, didn’t do much but
study and listen. If there’s any governmental
agency or industrial group having anything to do
with housing or the materials or labor that go in-
to construction that Wyatt hasn’t listened to, it’s
because it hasn’t had any representative in Wash-
ington.
In 1941, Wyatt, then 37 years old, tossed aside
his prosperous corporation law practice to take
over the mayor’s office in the city of bourbon,
fine bosses and good, easy-going living.
What happened to Louisville is what happened
to a lpt of important industrial cities during the
war years. II Uii-ealfehed Weekly to blirSt out at

I am convinced that the isola-
tionist attitude that prevailed in
the United States before Pearl
Harbor caused our country to be-
come engaged in World War II.
Leaders in Japan, Germany and
Italy were convinced that we were

get bigger as they progress,
which involves all countries re-

Therefore, It is to our selfish ad-,
vantage here in the United States
to d.o what we can reasonably to
prevent wars in other parts of
the world.

" gtt’s plan to build three million tow-cost houses in tlie next two
years is given the go-ahead by Congress, it will mean ‘a complete
revolution in the real estate and construction business
It’s about time. J
These industries are now encumbered with more
antiquated trade practices, building codes and tabor
restrictions than the wreck of the Hesperus has

Most controversial -item on the Wyatt program
is probably his "Production Premium Payment’*
idea Call it the "PPP" plan ter short. The ugly
name for it is ‘Housing Subsidy." Wyatt says he
isn't ducking the nasty word “subsidy" on pur-
pose but he thinks ‘ Production Premium Payment”
more accurately describes what he is shooting at
He offers it os an incentive plan to get more build-
ing niaterials produced so more houses can be
Built faster
Principal building materials in short supply are brick, lumber,
cast-iron radiators and soil pipe, gypsum, and lath. ProdMBon
premium payments might be applied to any or all of therm^vyhtt
now isn't Saying which will need most incentive. I fir*
Take gypsum as an example To meet Wyatt’s housin^gcals,
gypsum production for plaster board and lath' will have to be stepped
up at least a third this year and two-thirds next year, ;
I"
applying production premium payments to get more gypsum
rock mined in No«a Scotia and various parts of the United States,
first step would be the determination of a base year in which pro-
duction was normal and average Say that year were 1941,
If ah outright, subsidy were paid to encourage production, it would
be paid on every ton of gypsum rock mined or every pound processed.
Under the Production Premium Payment plan, however, no subsidy
would be paid on the output up to the 1941 levels. Premiums would
be paid only on production above the 1941 levels, providing an in-
centive for the extra production
* .
fT will take new legislation by Congress to put the PPP plan into
1 operation. Wyatt is asking Congress for this authority. He esti-
mates that tiie total cost to the government will'be about 900 million
dollars. 400 million to increase production of the standard building
materials: 200 million to get new substitute materials into production.
Putting PPP into effect will enable the normal and the extra
production of scarce building materials to be sold at the same stabil-
ized iow price of the normal production.
The alternative is to remove price ceilings so as to encourage extra
production. That means only higher-priced housing for veterans; a
temporary boom for the housing industry, then a bust.
Wyatt says repeatedly .that the housing crisis isn’t going to be licked
by this kind of business as usual and government as usual. Expan-
sion'of building materials production is his number one uoblCm.

New York.—Bill Schiller,
smarty who has turned polka dots
Into decimal points which follow
long lists of rich figures in black |
ink on his company’s ledgers, i
never quits trying to find some
new method to interest the world
iri his constant passion, the circu-
lar figures which are on' ail his j
ladies' ready-to-wear goods.
This Schiller is the guy who
took a beautiful model named
Chili Williams and turned her into
a glamor doll whose face and fig- i
ure, constructed strirtly for whist-1
ling at, became familiar trade-
marks to people all over the coun-
try.
Schiller invested a bundle of ,
cash in “Are You With It” a
Broadway musical shftw. when he
heard the script contained a polka
dot sequence. He was considera-
bly burned up when the polka dot
part was scissored out before the
show arrived 'on Broadway. This1
disappointment has been some-
what aljdviated By the fact that
the musical immediately became
a solid hit and: at least he didn’t
lose his money.
Schiller in person is u dotty
fellow indeed — from hi - haber-
dashery viewpoint. His ties, hand-
kerchiefs, underwear and whatev-
er can be designed in that fash- •
ion without violating the esthetic
tastes of Lucius Beebe and the
other best-dressed New Yorkers,
bear his familiar trademark. He
wishes constantly that men might
break down the sartorial rules
and wear dotted trousers, suits,
hats, even shoes. His new office :

circular glass dots inlaid on wails,
floor and ceiling.
Bill’s decision to make a career
of polka dots came from his moth-
“Whcn I was a youngster in
Brooklyn, just
clothing busin
pressed on me
dots always are1
a saleable eomr
tie less gamble in

en in her nnpmborhood 4rt|d she
found that the dotted dresses
were the easiest to sell and that
material could be used for every-
thing- ties ami handkerchiefs, ev-
en pen-wipers.”
To that end, and having earned
more than a million dollars profit
from his carefully considered Idi-
osyncrasy. Bill Schiller constantly
pores over Broadway script*
which might include a polka dot
sequence, costume or mention
any encouraging sort. And
comes looking with his pockets all
packed with investing money. He
will take a longer chance than
most angels, figuring he has a
double benefit in store—both the
simple profit on his dough plus
the public’s attention to his prod-
uct.
