J ENJOY GENUINE CHARCOAL BROILED FOODS Mortgage Insurance Plan To Make Buying Easier is Proposed Washington (CQ) A new plan to make it easier to buy a house comes up for Senate discussion next month. The plan was designed by the U.S. Savings and Loan league, representing savings and loan associations, and bears the endorsement of the National Association of Home Builders and the National As sociation of Real Estate Boards. The idea is to encourage bigger home loans by insur ing part of the lender's risk, the same principle that under lies the FHA and GI home New Home A building permit for $11,000 has been issue John McCardell, to construct a new home at 777 Ellendale rd.

But instead of having Federal insurance, the League would set up a special corporation using pri vate money. Currently, home loans with out Government backing range between 60 and 70 per cent of what the house is actually worth. This leaves it up to the home buyer to scrape up a down payment of 40 to 30 per cent often an insurmountable obstacle. More Insurance The special corporation would provide insurance for most of the top 20 per cent of these so-called convention al loans. So the lender could write a bigger mortgage with out any additional risk to him self,. To get started, the loan in surance corporation would use savings and loan associa tion money held by the 11 District Home Loan Banks, To get the insurance, lenders outside of the Home Loan Bank System would have to buy stock in the corporation equal to one-seventh of 1 per cent of the mortgages they owned or serviced. These stock purchases, plus premi ums for the loan insurance, would give the corporation money to work with as the program grew. Specifically, the corpora tion would insure 90 per cent of the top 20 per cent of the home loan. On a $10,000 loan, the lender's risk would there fore be reduced to $8,200. The League says the plan would be especially helpful in outlying areas where lend ers are too small to handle FHA or GI loans. FHA and GI loans entail a tremendous amount of red-tape, and many lenders, especially savings and loan associations, just do not have the staff to handle them. Doubts Voiced But several members of the home loan community have their doubts about the League plan. Harry Held, vice presi dent of the Bowery Savings Bank in New York and chair man of the mortgage commit tee of the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks, says the stock purchase re quirement ruins the plan for most of the association's mem bers. Held says since his own bank holds more than SI bil lion worth of mortgages, it would have to buy more than $1 million worth of stock to qualify for the loan insur ance. The Mortgage Bankers as sociation objects to the stock purchase requirement and also to a provision that says to get in on the insurance program the, lender must have a net worth of 1 per cent of the mortgages he owns or han dles. Samuel E. Neel, MBA general counsel, said this would rule out many of the members of his association. Though the mutual savings bank and mortgage bankers associations have objections to the League plan, they see it as a help to one segment of the home lending business and therefore do not oppose it. Not so the AFL-CIO. The labor Federation terms the League plan a "tremendous step backward," claiming it would give no protection whatever to the home buyer. The AFL-CIO objects to the lack of interest ceilings, ap praisal procedures and mini mum property and construc tion requirements which are part of the FHA and GI home loans programs. Open to Revision Stephen G. Slipher, League vice president, said his or ganization's, plan is open to revision especially in the line of stock purchase re quirements. But he said the AFL-CIO objections ignore the fact that conventional loans have been going on suc cessfully for years without the interest ceilings and oth er requirements of Govern ment housing programs. Chairman John J. Spark man (D-Ala.) of the Senate Housing Subcommittee plans to air the League proposal early in March. His counter part on the House side, Rep. Albert Rains (D-Ala.) current ly is seeking reaction to the League plan and is expected to hold hearings on it after the Senate does. j Copyright 1958. j Congressional Quarterly Inc.)

Cubans Kidnap Racing Champion Havana, Cuba HP) Cu ban rebels kidnaped Argen; tine auto racer Juan Manuel Fangio at gunpoint Sunday night in a daring raid aimed at embarrassing the govern ment of President Fulgencio Batista. Fangio, five times world auto .racing champion, was marched out of a crowded lobby in a downtown hotel by two gunmen while his bodyguard and friends look ed on helplessly. He was hustled into a jeep which rac ed off into the darkness. Fangio's life was not be lieved in danger. The rebel underground had threatened to spoil Cuba's greatest sports event today's 510,000 Grand Prix but was not believed prepared to go so far as to harm Fangio. Immediately after the kid napping police set up road blocks at all the main inter sections and mounted special guards at all private and com mercial airports. Guards also were assigned to all other foreign drivers competing in the race. Flowers from Area Sent to TV Show Ashland A selection of 16 different types of flowers and blossoms from early flower ing trees in Ashland have been sent to Arthur Godfrey in New York. They were sent over the week end with the hope he would use them on his tele vision show at 2:30 p.m. to day. The idea of sending the flowers originated with Clar ence Bell, president of the Ashland Chamber of Com merce, after Godfrey com mented about severe winter weather In the east. He contacted local garden club and television station of ficials. Godfrey's west coast representative also was con tacted, and was reported to be encouraged with the idea. Jack Williams of the Ash land Flower shop and green house prepared the flowers, which were sent by air Satur day. There was no guarantee, however, that Godfrey would use the flowers on his show.

Hugh had not been sen tenced at that time. It was ex plained to the trio that under ordinary circumstances, a per son sentenced to life imprison ment in Oregon would be elig ible for release consideration after about IVt years. . At that time the D'Autre- monts agreed that they would spend the rest of their natural lives in the penitentiary and that the remaining outstand ing indictments against them would not be prosecuted. Kept Pending The indictments would be kept pending to assure that each of the three men would spend the rest of his life in the penitentiary and thus not be eligible for parole consid eration. The agreement was presented to the Jackson county circuit court and ap proved by Judge C. M. Thomas upon the oral motion of Newton Chaney, then dis trict attorney. According to officials, Roy D'Autremont has become criminally insane and is now in the Oregon state mental hospital, and Ray D'Autre mont has not been regarded by officials as socially suit able for release. Hugh, who created and edited the prison newspaper, "Shadows," has been considered by parole of ficers to be rehabilitated. According to Reeder, D'Au- tremont's pleas to two of the outstanding indictments and the dismissal of the three other indictments removes all of the outstanding indictments against him in Jackson county. Reeder explained that there were still several federal in dictments pending against D'Autremont.
