Growth of llic Suburbs
The Federal Census Bureau reports as the results of a sur
vey made Jast March that the nation's cities and suburbs are
growing in population four times as fast as tne rest ot ine
country. Within the metropolitan areas, the suburbs are
growing in population six times as fast as within the cities.
The survey covered metropolitan areas, defined by the Cen
sus Bureau as cities with 50,000 or more population, together
with one or more adjacent counties. But it is evident that the
trend, at least in Pacific Coast stales, where suburbs of small
er cities are booming, follow the same pattern.
The Bureau estimates that there were 96.200,00 people liv
ing in metropolitan areas last March and 611,100.000 else
where. It also shows that women are widening their numerical
superiority over mcn in the civilian population. In l!l."0 there , lnp wm-(

their leading roles in the 1952-1956
elections, it is felt that their ex
tremely radical philosophy has
been twice rejected by the elec

ing in days of past glory and vic
tory, refuse to recognize that the
voters' current mood leans toward
"moderation."
In fact, both Governor Averell
Harriman of New York and Tru

fully at the Chicago convention,
denounced Stevenson when he ad
vocated a moderate rather than a
radical approach to social, eco
nomic and political problems. Tru

swing sharply to the left in the
campaign.

Slump in Home Buying to Get
Congress Study Next Month
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON ( You want to
buy a home? The rate of home
buying has been going down. It
has been getting tougher to bor
row money to buy a house. This
situation may not improve much,
if at all.
Congress for weeks to come in
the new year will be looking into
the broad question of Homebuild
ing, borrowing to buy homes, and
the government s money policies
One committee started doing so
this week. It remains to be seen
whether anything will be done to
make it easier to borrow money,
There is a big scramble for
loans. It seems would-be home
owners and small businessmen
are at the tailend of the parade.
Money Is tight. Banks are looking
around to see where they can get
the best return on their invest
ment.
Six times in the past 18 months,
the government has tightened up
on the banks by raising the charge
on money which member banks
borrow from the Federal Re
serve. This in turn makes these mem
ber banks less loose with the
money they lend. They can turn to
federal securities, high-grade cor
poration securities, tax-exempt
municipal bonds to invest their
money.
A bank has some continuing ex
pense in handling a homebuy
ing loan whereas if it purchases
certain federal securities, it may
have no other expenses, although
it may earn only 3 per cent on
those securities.
It has been suggested that it
the government wants to tighten
up on credit it should do so in
the field of credit buying the
installment payment plans that
consumers use. This was done
during the Korean War. It's un
likely to be revived soon if at all.
The government has sought for
years to encourage homebuying
and to encourage banks to make
loans to home buyers through
two principal agencies: the Fed
eral Housing Administration
(FHA) and the Veterans Aid ad
ministration (VA).
Until Dec. 1 both insured fnr
guaranted loans on homes, pro
vided the interest rate was no
more than 4"i per cent. On Dec.
1 the government upped the in
terest limit on FHA-insured loans
to 5 per cent. In addition, there's
a charge of '4 per cent for the
FHA insurance.
The Eisenhower alministration
couldn't raise the interest ceiling
on VA-guaranteed loans. Only
Congress can do that. It's ques
tionable Congress will when it re
turns next month.
One thing is certain: The higher
the interest rate, the higher the
cost of a home. On a $10,000 home
with a 25-year mortgage, for ex
ample, the H per cent interest
nivke approved for FHA loans adds
$900 in interest to the total amount
of repayment.
The government's purpose in
letting FHA loan interest rates go
up was to encourage banks to
make more home loans, since
their profit would be greater. May
be it will have that effect. Per
haps not.
But if the banks hand out more
leans under the FHA program,
with its 5 per cent interest, they
may make fewer to veterans who
seek a VA-guaranteed loan with
a maximum interest of 44 per
cent.
