WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 UP
President Roosevelt asked con
gress today to liberalize extolling
law to encourage bitlions of dol

struction In the next five years.
In a message to the special ses
sion completed before be left for
a Florida rest, the president as
serted the "long-continued lag in
building is a drag on all Industry
and trade" and was "one of the
principal reasons why general
business failed to forge ahead"
In recent months.
Labor, Materials Too High
Declaring increases in hourly
wage rates and material costs
had been "too rapid and too great
for the consumer to bear," and
had checked production and buy
ing in other industries. he said
he would confer with representa
tives of industry, labor and fin
ance in an effort to activet such

to make pouible, through federal
Insurance of low-interest mort

Raise Insurable Limit
Here are the amendments sug
gested: 1Raise the present insurable
limit from 30 to 90 per cent of
a property's appraised value In
the case of loans to owner-occupants
where the property does not
exceed 16000 in appraised value.
The president said this was of
"great importance" because it
would permit persons hard hit by
the depression to buy homes with
a down payment of as low as 10
per cent instead of 20 per cent,
as at present.
2Reduce the interest and
service charge on insured loans
from 6i to 5 per cent.
