FEDERAL HOUSING DISCUSSED
Survey of Low-Income Families Needed
Deforc Plans Are Considered Seriously
(Continued from Pag 1)
Before seriously planning
for a housing authority in a
community, Spauldlng ex
plained, a survey of low-income
families, local housing
and costs must be made. In
Medford, however, the official
said the I960 census already
showed a definite need for
low-cost housing. , --

vlsory capacity, would ap
point an executive director to
take charge of building plans.
Spaulding stressed that no
local funds are required for
constructing housing authori
ties, unless the community
wished to hire workers for
the original housing survey.
The Federal Housing adminis
tration insures loans after ap
proving a local housing au
thority's plan. Bonds to fir
nance the project are sold
through regular channels.
Income from Rentals
Income ' from , the . rentals
must meet cost of operation,
as minimum, and sometimes
can also help meet costs of
interest payments and amorti
zation of the bonds. The fed
eral government's role is to
"pick up the tab" for costs
above operation expenses
which the housing authority
is unable to meet.
. He said the only local gov
ernment contribution would
be an agreement to levy no
taxes on the housing author
ity property, although funds
in lieu of taxes would" be paid
to the local government aid
any eventual monies above
operation costs, interest and
amortization would be paid in
relation to payments already
made over the years.
In answering q u e s tions
from the audience, the hous
ing official said that low in
come families must pay rents
in public housing "as high as
they can reasonably afford,"
depending, on income and
National Median Income
National median income for
families in low-cost housing
is $2,200 per year, with rents
of I30-J35 monthly covering
operating costs of the housing
authority.
Housing the aged has more
economic difficulties, he ex
plained, because their in
comes usually are lower. This
is one reason housing authori
ties often prefer diversified
tenants, so the somewhat
higher rent, from younger
families help equalize the
low Incomes and rent of older
couples.
The eligibility of tenants is
determined after the survey
of local incomes and cost of
private housing. . .
Mot in Competition
One man in the audience,
who said he was a landlord,
declared that federal housing
would compete with private
ownership, and complained'
that taxes and "regulations"
made private rental owner
ship too high. Spaulding an
swered that persons . who

HEAVY LOOT

Oeorge W. Molllcone, 28, was
too burdened down with his

tion with low-income families,
The FHA representative
also explained that wartime
housing erected in the Med
ford area was not like that of
housing authorities, because lt
was planned as an emergency
measure, not be used for
permanent rentals.
Dick House, a -local insur
ance salesman, asked if the
housing authority in. Spring
field "is like one expected to
be in Medford," and Spaul
ding said, "Yes, it's fairly
typical." The Springfield
project contains ISO housing
units. House also asked ques
tions concerning how a low
income family is determined,
and cost of rents and oper
ation expenses.
Pleas Consideration
A plea for further consider
ation of a housing authority
in Jackson county was direct
ed to the audience by James
Pullman, county welfare ad
ministrator. He said at least
300 families on welfare rolls
are in housing below the
minimum standards of "health
and decency."
"The community must an
swer the question whether
we want to provide for them,
or let them continue to- live
in sub-standard housing," he
declared.
Spaulding concluded that
federal housing authorities
"are trying to reach a group
who do not own property and
cannot pay" for housing of
minimum decent standards.
The only private owners who
would be hurt, he declared,
are owners of sub -standard
housing.
Spaulding talked with Ash
land City Manager Elmer
Beagle this morning concern
ing possibilities -of establish
ing a housing authority in
that city. The FHA official
reported that Beagle express
ed enthusiasm for such a proj
ect and plans to meet with
Spaulding and other city of
ficials again soon.

Specific Requests
Voted Into Law
Ealtor'i note: This ll tbe tint of
two dispatches eomparlng aehleve
ment and failures of th. leg
islature with Got. Mark Hatfield's
menage and with the Democratic
piauorm.
By A. H. PEARSON
Salem-(UPD-Gov. Mark Hat
field had more of his wishes
fulfilled by the Democratic
legislature than the Demo
crats themselves.
Hatfield won nearly two-
thirds of the specific requests
made in his opening message
in January. Democrats hardly
got halfway in implementing
their party platform, drawn a
year earlier. Curiously, the
combination of a iiatiieia-
Democratic party shove, how
ever, failed to win a bit 01
the governor's top aim: Gov
ernment reorganization.
The entire cabinet system
plan was junked, and Hat
field's earlier charge that
this would be "buck-passing'
fell a good deal on cautious
members of his own party.
Hatfield had to share credit
with the Democrats for de
manding and .achieving an
aggressive win-industry pro
gram, salary hikes for state
employees, mental health cli
nics, timber tax, civil rights,
and steps to revise the con
stitution. Education Credit Split " .
In the education field, they
split credit for increased ba
sic school support, better
pay for college teachers, and
scholarships.
Both Hatfield and the
Democrats called generally
for steps' toward industrial
development.
The specific bills that re
sulted oil exploration,
Boardman industrial park,
coast easements for plants,
riverbottom mining,' an Asto
ria bridge may be the ses
sion's most far-reaching work.
They also afford the finest
opportunity for political
credit-claiming .hinging on
whether they lead to indus
trial growth without blemish
ing or wasting resources.
Hatfield and the Democra
tic party split some substan
tial losses In the tax field: A
net business income tax to re
place inventory levies, and re
lief for the elderly. Hatfield
also sought and lost a net re
ceipts tax to pick up more
income taxpayers.
The . votes illustrated the
power of the generally con
servative "independents" in
both parties.
Wins Utility Bill
The governor won a con
troversial bill to give exclu
sive service areas to utilities,
largely through support from
his own party.
Via broad bi-partisan sup
port, he also requested and
got a labor elections bill, a
school of social work, bill'
board control, log-truck certl
flcates of necessity, increased
liquor revenues for cities and
counties, and a commerce
code.
The chief executive's dra
matic pleas for traffic safety
laws met head on with a cool
legislature which 'killed speed
limits and a bill to permit ar
rests without witnessing an
accident: Hatfield got only a
weakened bill permitting
chemical liquor tests by oral,
as well as the present writ
ten, consent.
The governor got nowhere
on proposals for two-way
workmen's compensation, a
change in state holidays, a
transportation building on
the Capital Mall, or a consti
tutional amendment putting
the secretary of state next in
line of succession.
Though it gave Hatfield
much of what he wanted, the
legislature ignored his final
words of advice on opening
day: "Get to the heart of the
matter promptly and deci
sively."
The lawmakers stayed 122
days, the second longest ses
sion in history.
Sabotage Studied
In Crash of Plane
Algiers - (UPD - A French
airliner which crashed into
