All suspension orders, consent orders and stop-construction orders issued by the Office of Temporary Controls (Civilian Production Administration) as a result of violation of any of the regulations or orders listed above are also transferred to the Housing Expediter. This order shall become effective April 1, 1947. Issued this 31st day of March 1947. Civilian Production Administration, By J. Joseph Whelan, Recording Secretary. 5 O. H. E. DISTRICT CONSTRUCTION OFFICES Veterans’ Housing Program Order No. 1 was issued to save materials desperately needed for veterans’ housing and is based on a thorough study of the housing emergency and the present insufficiency of building materials. This action has been taken because only by prohibiting the starting of construction of less essential and deferrable building projects, can enough materials be found to provide shelter for the returning veterans and their families. The O. H. E. District Construction Offices oversee the activities in the construction field and service requests for necessary orders and forms. THESE CONSTRUCTION OFFICES WILL CONFINE THEIR ACTIVITIES TO CONSTRUCTION MATTERS ONLY. Applicants requiring authorization to construct for any non-residential construction, including farm, commercial and industrial as outlined in the construction order VHP-1 may obtain the necessary form 0HE-14-171 and file application with their nearest O. H. E. Construction Field Office. Applicants for housing and farm dwellings also outlined in the order should apply to the nearest Federal Housing Administration Office. A complete listing of the regulations and forms effective under Veteran’s Emergency Housing Program is given on page 9. A directory of the O. H. E.
