HooUer Has Plan
 to End National
 House Shortage
By Associated Press

Washington, July 1T.-Plans for relieving the estimated shortage of l,5oO,ooo homes throughout the coun- try through the diversion of great CT proportion of the nations 2.000 = 100000 in savings deposits into home building are under consideration oy Secretary Hoover
 The commerce secretary considers that there has been tendency dur ing the past few years for the saw ings of the people to find their way into commercial paper, bonds and similar securities rather than into home building, while critical houc- ing situation has developed with about IT families for each 100 homes.
 The chief reliance of the country in the necessary financing of home Hoover, must be the savings instt- tutons. With a total of $22 1000, 00o,- 900 available from these sources. he believes it will be found, after elfm" mating the building and loan so- cieties and actual savings banks who devote about 50 per cent of their de- posits to home building, that the saw ings departments of national banks, state banks, trust companies and in surance companies. comprising more than one-half of the total, probably do not lend more than 10 or Is per cont of their saving assets to hous- ing.
 NIT. Hoover suggested that 40 or 50 per cent of the nearly sf60,0o0, 900 deposits in postal savings banks could be diverted to this purpose as well as a larger proportion of the savings deposits of national bank through amendment to the federal reserve act.
 q believe" MT Hoover said, that we should have a very much more stable economic system if we had 8 more regular proportion of our saw ings available to home buiidine' There Is, in fact, no other economic fund than our savings lnstltutio's from which our home building can pc safely secured"
