Small Home Owner to
Receive Help at Last
The following quotation from the
current issue of "Business Week" Is
the clearest explanation of the Home
Loan act in a few words as we have
read:
"Real Mortgage Relief
If the small home owner can't per
suade hl mortage holder to let the
government save him, Washington
will now lend htm money to save
himself.
The Home Loan Act, nov In effect,
Is a genuine attempt to help the lit
tle fellow. It la the second effort to
tackle the depression troubles of the
homeowner. Its the forerunner, the
federal Home Loan Bank program,
could be of service -only in discount
ing first mortgages through a newly
established system of home loan banks
or through an existing system of
building and loin associations. The
difficulty It left wss that many a
small home-owner la burdened not
merely by a first mortgage too big
to be discounted, but by a second,
and sometimes by mounting arrears
of interest and taxes. The new law
help him out of this kind of a jam.
If he has a home appraised at not
more than 920,000, loaded with a
mortgage and Interest debt of not
more than 80 per cent of that value,
he can or can try to persuade his
mortgage holder to exchange the
mortgage for 4 per cent government
bonds, through a new kind of gov
ernment bank called the Home Owners'-
Loan Corp.. with brandies all
over' the country. If the mortgage
KMED
Broadcast Schedule
holder accepts the proposal the mort
gagor will then give the government
a fi per cent mortgage running for
15 years.
If the mortgagee refuses to make
the swap for the bonds and the home
owner la unable to raise funds else
where to save his home, the Home
Loan Bank will make another move
to help him. It will lend him the
cash. But. in this case, the loan will
not exceed 40 per cent of the ap-,
praised value of the property and the
Interest rate will be 6 per cent. How
ever, thia loan also will be spread
over 16 years.
If a home-owner desires money only
to pay his taxes and his home is free
of mortgage, the Home Owners' Loan
Corp. will lend him up to 40 per cent
of the value of his property. Even
home-owners who have lost their
homes through foreclosure may regain
them by applying for help under the
law. And If any of the borrowers are
unable to pay their installments the
government will grant a 3-year mora
torium.
Borrowers to be eligible to the serr-
icee of the Home Owners' Loan Corp.
must live in their own homes, with
not more than 3 other families: the
mortgage on it must have been In ex
istence before the bill became a law;
the holder of the mortgage must be
pressing for payment; and the appli
cant must show that he needs help
in order to save his home."

CHICAGO. June 34 (AP) Increas
ing by leaps and bounds, speculation
for higher prices whirled all grains
widely upward today, outdoing top
records unequated since 1930.
Wheat sped skyward 3i cents, and
crossed to well above 00 cents a
bushel for May contracts, which be
ginning on Monday will be added
formally to the list of quoted active
deliveries. Buying of Wheat and
other grains was on the largest scale
witnessed' in years, a result mainly of
reported widespread irreparable crop
damage and further severe losses ex
pected because of extraordinary
drought and heat.
An excited close left wheat 3 cents
to a1! cent abore yesterday's finish,
