Veterans Liable For Gl-Mortgaged Homes Regardless Of Owner Washington OJ.PJ-aThe House Veterans committee warned to day that thousands of veterans who have sold their GI-mort gaged homes are still liable to Uncle Sam and don t know it. Committee Chairman Clin E. Teague (D.-Tex.) said about a fourth of the 3,350,000 homes purchased with GI mortgages are no longer owned by their veteran buyers. But, he said many of these veterans don't realize that the government still holds them lia ble if the mortgage loan is de faulted. He said his committee will seek remedial legislation next year along with other amendments to the GI Home Loan law. Other Proposals Other proposed amendments included: 1. A new program of scholar- "Yuba Cify Woman, Son Visit Here a After !l&ss Call A Yubg City, Calif., woman 0 and hje Sl-year-old son are at the hcM of relatives near Cen tral PoinS fier narrowly escap ing fli?li waters which inun date3 Sub City Friday night.

Mrs. Von Stein and her hus band, wito is stationed with the Air Force at Carrp Beale, and their son were given a half-hour warning Friday to flee their horna and seek higher ground. Flooa waters covered the area when dikes n the Feather river broke. Getting just a few blocks be fore eir car stalled, the family raced through the rising water to safety in a nearby walnut tree. The Von Steins and six other neighbors spent seven hours in the branches of the tree before rescue in a boat. The group was taken to the second story of a house, where 21 persons were sheltered "until sited by a helicopter. The group was evacuated by boat and taken to the5 Woodland Baptist church. Mrs. Von Stein and Robert were sent to stay with relatives here until their ome is again made liveable. Mrs. Von Stein told relatives that five feet of water filled their home, with mattresses floating about the house, and only the pictures on the wall undamaged. ships for orphans of men killed in World War II and Korea. Un der a bill already introduced by Teague 156,000 such youngsters between 16 and 23 could get free college educations. 2. Continued pressure on the administration to begin a prom ised program of replacement and major repairs in veterans hospitals, some officially de scribed at firetraps. The committee also must de cide whether to extend the .GI home loan program which ex pires for World War II veterans on July 25, 1957. The housing industry would like the pro gram with its easy credit terms, continued just about unchanged. Teague said the committee has a lot of studying to do on the question. Find Shortcomings He said the committee has found shortcomings in the pro gram in several fields, including that of loan transfers to non veteran buyers. He said in many cases ex-GIs have learned about their liabil ity to their sorrow " when the government slapped them with claims years after the homes were sold. One possible cure eyed by Teague's committee is to trans fer all the veterans' obligations,. to the second home buyer, pro vided the new owner meets the Veterans administration's credit tests. If the VA failed to ap prove, the GI still could sell his house and transfer his loan but at his own risk or he could let the new buyer get his own financing. Emergency Landing Made at Bryce Canyon Bryce Canyon, Utah (U.R) An American Airlines plane en route from Los Angeles to New York with 40 passengers made an unscheduled landing at the Bryce Canyon emergency field today when an engine caught fire. The plane landed at 11 a.m. after Pilot C. W. Evans radioed Los Angeles that warning lights showed he had a fire in the No. 4 engine. Evans feathered the propeller on that engine and made the landing without incident. A fire department from a near by town put out the fire before the passengers had a chance to get off the plane. It was at Bryce Canyon in 1947 that a DC6 crashed in flames killing 54 persons in the first accident involving that type plane. The DC6 caught fire in flight and was attempting to land when it crashed 100 yards short of the runwav.
