0 O TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, August 2, 1955 Waler Project Loan Measure Postponed Washington .U.R) Rep. Clair Engle (D-Calif.) said yesterday a bill authorizing a S100.000. 000 program for interest-free government loans for local water projects apparently will be de layed until the next congres sional session. The bill would allow loans to projects costing no more thai 85,000,000. Local agencies could t required to contribute up to iZ per cent of the cost. Engle said the main point of ffference between the House (Ind Senate groups was what he called the "unequal treatment" given Eastern and Western c'vOttes. In the 17 Western states, the "strict" reclamation laws would apply, he pointed out, while "much more liberal" treatment on loan terms would be allowed in the East.

No Pbon Administration Eyes Restraints On U S Economy Washington U.R) The Eisen hower administration is careful ly considering applying "precau tionary restraints" on the na tional economy to prevent any possiblity of a boom and bust, it was learned today. Under particular scrutiny are "credit excesses," one of Presi dent Eisenhower's top advisers told the United States. "Generally speaking," he said, "we are doing even better than is supposed. But we want to keep it that way." Not Worried This presidential adviser, who declined use of his name, empha sized that the administration is not worried about any recession or falling off of present pros perity. But at the same -time he said some "restraining influ ences" may be advisable. "We have been deliberating strongly on these questions for a long time," he said. Out of these deliberations, he said, came the decision last week to tighten mortgage credit. , The Federal Housing Adminis tration and the Veterans Ad ministration announced simul taneously Saturday that they were increasing down payment requirements 2 per cent on all houses mortgaged under gov ernment insurance programs, and shortening mortgage terms from 30 years to 25.
