Chairman Albert Rains CD Ala.) of the banking subcom mittee predicted a substantial decline in home building in the next few months unless Congress provides additional mortgage credit. His measure would set up a special DUiion-aonar runa for the purchase of FHA and GI loans on lower priced homes. It was certain to get stiff opposition from administra tion witnesses. Summoned to give the administration case were top officials of the Hous ing and Home Finance Agen cy, Federal Housing Adminis tration, Federal National Mortgage Association and Veterans Administration. Rains said builders in some areas were finding it impossi ble to go ahead with construc tion plans "because of the scandalously high discounts being charged by lenders in connection with FHA and GI loans." He also said a survey of VA and FHA field offices showed in many areas the volume of conventionally-financed hous ing "is being artificially and precariously maintained' by "questionable" financing. These methods, he said, in cluded second mortagages and land sales contracts which are "costly and potentially dan Quotes From By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL New York -Douglas Benedict, stating that his sister, Gamble left her married lover in Paris and returned home voluntarily: "She came home because I asked her to come.

RINEHART Among Most Wanted Ted J. Rinehart Is Placed on 10 Most Wanted Lis! Washington -(UPD-Ted Jacob Rinehart, a suave but vicious jewel thief with a fondness for scotch, high society and elderly women, was placed by the FBI on its list of 10 most wanted criminals today. Rinehart has had a criminal record for nearly half of his 33 years and has boasted that he would make the one-time notorious killer, "Baby Face" Nelson "look like a piker." He is known to be carrying a revolver and the FBI admon ishes that he should "be con sidered armed and extremely dangerous." A man of many aliases, the fugitive has been hunted by the- FBI since last July 23 when he vanished from Flori da after being suspected of being the perpetrator of nu merous housebreakings and jewel thefts from well-to-do homes. Fondness for Scotch The FBI reports Rinehart, who was once tubercular, now shows "a definite fondness" for scotch, likes expensive cars and diamond rings, smokes expensive cigars, uses tranquilizers e x t e n s i vely, dresses neatly and often wears sun glasses. Between burglaries he goes in for heavy drinking bouts during which his brutal tem per comes to the fore, accord ing to police. He has several times broken out of prison at gunppint and on other occa sions won parole or condition al pardon on the mistaken be lief he was willing to reform.

The government declared a state of siege in hopes of re storing order among the stu dents and settlers trying to force De Gaulle out of office because of their die-hard op position to his "soft" peace plans for Algeria. Schools were closed. But . the settlers ripped up new patches of pavement and brought in fresh wooden logs to reinforce the breast-high barricades that block off sev eral streets in the center of the city. They defiantly de stroyed helicopter - dropped leaflets bearing De Gaulle's appeal. Emergency Session Held In Paris, De Gaulle met in emergency session with Pre mier Michel Debre to decide whether to use force in a showdown with the settlers. The settlers and riot police battled at sundown Sunday and at least 20 persons were reported killed. A surrender ultimatum was expected. The settlers show ed no sign of surrender. Heavy contingents of riot police stood outside the bar riers. Army troops were streaming toward the city to reinforce the garrisons al ready there. Major intersec tions were under heavy guard and rolls of barbed wire pro tected the government head quarters. The settlers were entrench ed only a short distance away. Disturbances erupted again today in Oran where a group of rioters attempted Sunday to seize the prefecture build ing. The Oran demonstrators stopped several city buses, punctured their tires and pushed them across the streets to block them off. Fight Pitched Battle They included hundreds of students and middle - aged Europeans who formed a mob of 20,000 Sunday and fought a pitched battle with riot po lice. ' An unofficial check of hospitals showed 20 dead, 10 of them police, and 169 wounded in the fighting. The army thus far was aloof to the settlers' appeal to join them in an uprising which would bring the downfall of De Gaulle and end what they fear will be a surrender to the Moslem rebels who have been battling the Army for five years. Gen. Maurice Challe, su preme military commander in Algeria, warned in a broad cast that "the uprising shall not triumph against the French Army." De Gaulle broadcast appeals to the set tlers to "return to national order" and stop spilling each other's blood. The settlers have called for a general strike to show their anger against De Gaulle who fired Maj. Gen. Jacques Mas su, the paratroop hero who led the May 13, 1958, upris ing which topped the Fourth Republic. That revolt brought De Gaulle to power. Militia Aids Rebels Most of the casualties oc curred in a bitter half-hour of fighting that started at dusk when youths and mid dle aged settlers, spear-headed by the city militia, threw up .paving stone barricades and formed a fortress against riot police jeeps and trucks. Exactly how the battle started was not known. Police said the settlers cut loose first with a tommygun from their massed ranks. The settlers blamed the mobile guards and the republican security police which are special security forces and not connected with the Army. The main battle was led by the riot police. They charged down a broad flight of steps from the forum to the barri cades, hurling tear gas bombs. Later they fired rifles, light machineguns and even mor tars with a non-explosive '"'-r Gates Missile PflSifii 88 Washington -(UPD- Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr. declared today that the recent downgrading of the Russian missile threat by U.S. intelligence was based on "a refined and belter set of facts" and not on guesswork. Gates, testifying in public before the House Space com mittee, replied to Democratic critics who charged the Ei senhower administration ap peared to be planning nation al defense on the basis of "hunches." By implication, Gates said that the previous testimony he has given congressional committees about the new in telligence has been misinter preted. Democratic criticism stemmed from Gates' previ ous testimony in which he said new intelligence made it possible to estimate probable Soviet missile production and performance.

There were no injuries. J. J. Ackley, a Northern Pacific dispatcher at Seattle, said the locomotive and the other cars in the 54-car train were left standing on the track. "The locomotive and one car got by whatever caused the derailment and the next 14 cars were derailed," Ack ley said. "Thirteen were loaded and one was empty."

Democrats charged that the Defense Department had switched to basing defense programs on Russian inten tions rather than capabilities. Gates testified today that U.S. intelligence information has improved so that it is possible to have more refined facts on which to estimate Soviet production of large missiles. "We now have better in formation available from a variety of sources and a vari ety of subjects," Gates said. ". . . What we've got is a refined and better set of facts pertaining to what the prob able Soviet ICBM (intercon tinental ballistic missile) pro gram will be. . .

This, he said was "incredibly dan gerous." House Committee Chair man Overton Brooks (D-La.) asked Gates today to discuss the new intelligence policy, which Brooks said he under stood was related to "the in tentions of a possible adver sary." There are some that inter pret it that way," Gates said. Then he went on to state that the new estimates are based on facts, and not gues swork. Brooks questioned Gates about the so-called "missile gaps." Gates replied the U.S. is admittedly behind the So viets in developing big boost er rockets for space explora tion. But Gates said that when ICBM development is taken into account, along with other military hardware, "our re taliatory capability is on a sound basis."
