Reported by FNMA
E u g e n e Congressman
Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) has
received word from the Fed
eral National Mortgage asso
ciation that 251 housing starts,
totaling $3,045,150, have been
approved in six Fourth Con

Funds for the new lower-cost
home starts are provided in
the Emergency Housing Act
of 1958 and are used to pur
chase FHA and VA mortgages.
Porter was told the figures
were based on Aug. 28 sta
tistics. The Federal National Mort
gage association has approved
1,063 housing mortgages in 22
Oregon communities totaling
$12,815,000, according to the
report Porter received Sept. 9.
The new home starts are for
$13,500 or less. Cities in the
jjourtn .District where new
starts have been approved in
clude: Central Point 1 mortgage
for $10,400; and Medford 6
mortgages for $77,600.
FNMA President J. S.
Baughman said the program
had provided "quite a stimu
lant" to the housing industry.
morrow night, according to
Kay Johnson and Tom Mc
Leod, managers of the stations.
Programs will be broadcast
between 8 and 9 o'clock Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, they said. The series
will continue for 13 weeks.
Johnson and McLeod said
KMED would be responsible
for technical aspects of the
broadcast, and both stations
would share announcing
sponsibilities.
Stereophonic sound was in
augurated in the area last I
Wednesday night through the
cooperation of the two sta
tions, Jennings Pierce, Med
ford and former radio an
nouncer, and the Verl G.
waiKer company, area repre
sentative for the Voice of Mu
sic corporation.
Response Gratifying
Response to the broadcast.
radio station managers said,
has been gratifying. Many
residents indicated they
would like more such broad-1
casts, and commented they
enjoyed the program. One
person wrote he is looking
forward to hearing Christmas
Carols in stereophonic sound.
One person wrote that "it
was really wonderful and
most progressive gesture."
Telephone calls during and
immediately following the
program last Wednesday were
numerous, with as many as 40
calls at one station during the
evening.
More than 750 residents at
tended an open house at the
Jackson hotel Thursday night
at which stereophonic sound
equipment was displayed and
demonstrated. Ted Christen-
sen, merchandising manager
of the Verl G. Walker com
pany, said "we were tremen
dously pleased with the suc
cess of the open house, and
we believe people have a far
better understanding of ster
eophonic sound."
For the best reception of I
stereophonic sound, listeners
should use two radio sets, one
tuned, to KYJC and the other
to KMED. The sets should be
placed 8 to 10 feet apart and
facing the listener, who in
turn should be about 10 feet
from the sets.
This plan, Walker said,
gives the listener a tru bin
aural effect, which is an in
tegral part of stereophonic
sound. Binaural, two sources
of sound of the same program,
Drings out a realistic repro
duction of the original music
not achieved by more com
mon recording and playing
devices.
