HOME Relief ACTION
BY CONGRESS NEAR
Senator Buckley Says Subcommit-
tee Will Begin Consideration
Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Early congressional action on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's program for aiding
debt-burdened small home owners was
assured today when Senator Bulkley
Democrat. Ohio announced the Sen
ate Banking Subcommittee he heads
would begin consideration Of it to-
morrow
At the same time a movement was
launched to broaden the scope of the
proposal to include homes valued up to
$4,000, instead of limiting 1t to prop
erty valued at $4,000 or less.
Bulkley said his subcommittee would
meet Monday to decide what procedure
to follow in consideration of the bill.
He predicted that brief hearings would
be held, although he was not yet ready
to announce who would be called.
The subcommitte was originally set
up to study the Borah bill to abolish
the Home Loan Bank System, but the
Presidents measure would make this
system permanent sand enlarge upon it.
In addition to setting up corpora
ton to reflnance small home mortgages
through $4,000, 900, 900 bond issue, the
bill would create a system Of Federal
savings and loan associations to aid in
home financing
Senator Wagner Democrat, New
York;, one of the trainers of the legisla-
ton. was back OF the movement to in
crease the limitation from $4,000 to
$4,000 homes.
The lower limit was fixed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. after the experts had
drafted the bill with a limit of $780,
00G. Wagner and some others feel this
limitation is low enough to rule out
many comparatively small home owners
who are badly in need of help.
