Fresh, Imaginative Thinking
Said at Core of FHA Methods
Editor' note: The Federal Hons
Ing Administration is celebrating
its 25th anniversary. In the follow
ing dispatch, written expressly for
United Press International. FHA
Commissioner Julian H. Zimmer
man reviews his agency's record
and takes a look at its future.
By JULIAN H. ZIMMERMAN
Federal Housing
. Commissioner
Washington-(CPD-Fresh, im
aginative thinking has of nec
essity been at the core of
FHA's way of doing business
since 1934.
Nothing less than this type
of approach could have been
possible if FHA was to exer
cise leadership in the housing
industry through its programs
of mortgage insurance. Noth
ing less than this approach
will do in its next 25 years
if FHA is to continue to serve
the American public.
When we recall the condi
tions of the housing industry
and the circumstances of the
home buying public in 1934, it
is easy to appreciate the reas
ons for this dynamic method
of operation.
In Need of Repairs
j In 1934, more than 230,000
mortgages had been foreclos
ed; approximately 16 million
homes were badly in need of
repair; high down payment,
short-time mortgages were all
that were available. In addi
tion, building standards were
provincial and un-coordinated.
Home building activity was at
a very low ebb.
Compare these , circum-
; stances and conditions of 1934
with those that exist today.
Last year, for instance, only
42,000 mortgages were fore
closed. Millions of homes have
been modernized. Today, 25
to 30-year, low down payment
mortgages are available to
most American families.
Building standards are becom
ing more uniform throughout
the country while building
starts are approaching new
records.
. FHA has played a lively and

imaginative role in bringing
this about. Though FHA in
sures only about a fifth of all
home'mortgages, its programs
have stimulated wider oppor
tunity for home ownership,
better construction standards,
sound home financing systems,
scientific appraisal and credit
ratings, and a healthy housing
industry.
Looks for New Ways
But even with these accom
plishments to its credit, FHA
continues to look forward to
new fresh ways in which it
can serve the public. Legisla
tion now pending could help
ease the way for simpler trade
in house procedures. This is
important to the prospective
home buyer because he will
be able to trade in his present
house when he has found a
new one. 1 This is important
to the housing industry be
cause it provides greater flex
ibility in dealing with trade
ins. 1
Another new concept as we
look to the future is FHA's
certified agency program. This
will make it possible for the
housing industry to be better
served in smaller communities

tives and have full authority
to issue FHA commitments on
individual and small multi-

In addition, FHA is work
ing with full vigor with the
Eisenhower admin istration,
Congress, and other interested
organizations to see that urban
renewal and like projects re
ceive proper insurance back
ing. Mortgage insurance is
sued under FHA's urban re
newal program requires the
broadest and most imaginative
thinking.
Other Problems
There are other problems
which have been identified,
such as: transferring raw land
into improved stages of de
velopment for home building;
cutting lead time between new
ideas in construction and
their actual application; en
couraging more and . better
quality housing. FHA is pre
paring to move forward on a
broad front in all of these
fields.
FHA faces these new chal
lenges with the same vigor it
has displayed for 25 years.
The results of FHA's imag
inative thinking since its be
ginning are a matter of record.
It has written insurance total
ing over $55 billion. It has
over $26 billion worth of in
surance outstanding. It has
$700 million in reserves. Orig
inally FHA borrowed $65 mil
lions from the U.S. treasury
to begin its operations. Under
the Eisenhower administra
tion in 1954 this amount was
repaid with interest of $20
million. '"
All of these accomplish
ments have not cost the Amer
ican taxpayer a cent. FHA is
self-supporting and will con
tinue to be so. The FHA looks
to the future when every
American can be the owner
of his own home.

Business Beiier
In First Quarter,
Revision Shows
Washington, May 17 - (CPB-
Business was even better in
the first three months of 1959
than the record-breaking pace
originally reported, according
to the commerce department.
Revised figures showed that
nation's output of goods and
services hit an all-time high
annual rate of $467,000,000,
000, up $2,000,000,000 from
the department's earlier esti
mate.
Providing half this increase
was heavy stockpiling of busi
ness inventories, especially
steel. The department estimat
ed that factories and firms ad
ded to their inventories at an
annual buildup rate of $5,000,-
000,000.
Sharp Reversal
This indicated a sharp re
versal of the drawdown- of
stocks in the closing months
of 1958.
The department noted "a
widespread move toward re
stocking among other com
modity lines" in addition to
steel, but gave no breakdown.
Steel users have been laying
in reserves of the basic metal
as a hedge against a possible
steel strike this summer.
, The $467,000,000,000 gross
national product rate repre
sented an increase of $14,000,-
000,000 from the fourth quart
er of 1958. It was 8 per cent
above the depressed recession
rate in the beginning of 1958,
after allowing for small price
increases in some lines.
Personal consumption spend
ing in the first quarter hit
a record rate of $300,500,000,
000. Spending for home building
also was at a new high. It hit
an annual rate of $21,500,000,-
000 compared to $19,000,000,
000 during the middle of 1955,
the record year.
Business investment posted
a modest rise, with gains re
ported in durable and non
durable goods manufacturing
and air and rail transporta
tion. But the $43,000,000,000
rate lagged $5,000,000,000 be
low the pre-recession peak.
Unofficial estimates are
that total output in the cur
rent quarter will rise to a
rate of $475,000,000,000.

Being Psychopathic
Said To Be Helpful
In Literature, Art
By DELOS SMITH
XJPI Science Editor
New York -(UPD -One scien
tific view of psychopaths is
that without them "there
would be little
if any art, lit
erature, music
or science
or crime."
"O n e does
not have to be
a psychopath
to be a creator
or a criminal,
but it helps,"
Deios smith according to
Dr. Harry L. Kozol, neurolo
gist of Harvard University.
He was urging what he con
sidered a more reasonable
treatment of criminal psycho
paths by both the law and
psychiatrists. Both tend to
keep them out of mental hos
pitals where they might be
helped and to keep them in
jails where they might be
helped and to keep them in
jails where they aren't help
ed, he complained.
Kozol began by trying to
say plainly what is a psycho
path. Most Non-Conformists
"Although ; there are vast
differences , between individ
ual psychopaths, there are
even greater difefrences be

munity," he said. "A single
generalization about psycho
paths would characterize them
as non-conformists.
"Is there any difference be
tween legal non - conformity
and artistic or literary or even
academic non - conformity? I
doubt if there is. In my opin
ion there is no basic differ
ence between the psychopath
who enriches society and the
one who robs it. They are cut
of the same cloth, and any ap
parent difference is in their
goals rather than in their sub
stance." s '
He wasn't concerned for the
enriching psychopaths. Socie

he said, "and has often over
looked or forgiven very seri
ous deviations from conven
tional norms of behavior."
Nor was he critical of so
ciety's vigilance toward anti
social psychopaths.
Some Are Threats
"It certainly cannot afford
to be complacent about them,
he said. "Whereas some are
merely nuisances, others are
genuine threats. There ap
pears to be a vast aggregate of
such anti - social individuals
who appear to be dedicated
inexorably to making trouble
for themselves and others.
