Jackson Urges Law Go Into Effect Soon Washington flu Sen. Henry M. Jackson Friday urged the Federal Housing administra tion to put into effect immedi ately the lowered down pay ments on FHA-insured loans as authorized by Congress and signed by President Eisenhower last week. In a letter to Federal Housing Administrator Albert Cole, Jack son said he was "disturbed" at press reports that the FHA will refuse to lower the required down payment until late this year. The Washington Democrat said he has received urgent mes sages from home-builders and potential home-buyers in Wash ington state which indicate home building is at its "lowest point since the depression" and that a "terrible housing shortage can be expected in a few years." Putting the new down pay ment requirements into effect immediately would give housing construction a "needed shot in the arm," Jackson said.

At last count, there were about 800 reindeer and not enough reindeer food to go around. The department's bureau of fisheries and wildlife has sent two biologists to survey the sit uation and to make recommendations.
