TRY NEW STIMULANT
FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF LOW COST HOIS
Washington, Dec. 20. P)
The federal loan agency,
through Administrator Jesse H.
Jones, announced today the RFC
mortgage company would pur
ches up to $2,500 loans made to
finance the construction of new
houses.
The plan, officials said, was
developed in an effort to stim
ulate the construction of low
cost homes.
Jones said the RFC mortgage
company would purchase class
3, title one, loans bearing 4V4
per cent interest and a service
charge of per. cent, where
the entire proceeds are used to
finance new homes, the con
struction of which is started
January 1, 1940.
Officials said the willingness
of the RFC mortgage company
to purchase these loans un
doubtedly would result in pri
vate lending agencies being will
ing to make such loans. In the
past, only a comparatively small
number of such loans have been
made. This was largely due,
officials felt, to the fact that
there was no federal agency
willing to provide a secondary
mortgage for the loans.

S WILL GET 100
CENTS ON DOLLAR OF
New York, Dec. 20. (SpU
Every dollar collected in Amer
ica for the relief of non-combatant
civilians of war-torn Fin
land will actually reach the
Finnish sufferers, with all ad
ministration expenses borne by '
private subscription, former
President Herbert Hoover, chair
man of the Finnish Relief Fund.
Inc., announced today. i
At the same time. Mr. Hoover
disclosed that Bernard M. Ba
ruch, former chairman of the
war industries board, had sent
a check for $5,000 to the New
York chapter of the fund, with i
the comment that he "regards
it as a privilege to be included
among the many Americans who
are giving evidence of their
sympathy by contributions to
her support."
Revealing that he had ar
ranged for outside interests to
bear administration costs for the
Finnish drive. Mr. Hoover said:
"Expenses of the Finnish re
lief fund will be very small.
But I have further arranged
that such expenses of adminis
tration as there are will Be
wholly paid for outside the
fund. Therefore, every dollar
of donations will go one hun
dred cents to the Finns. I have
arranged that a leading firm of
auditors will not only audit the
accounts, but will actually keep
all the books."
