#. H. A. INSURANCE
RULES ARE EASED
Changes Expected to Open
Up Benefits 10 Wider
Group of Users.

New administrative rules and new
regulations issued by the Federal
Housing Administration covering In
surance of home mortgages under
title Q of the national housing act
embody in important particulars
changes which the National Associ-
alton of Real Estate Boards has en-
phatically urged.
They are important as opening
mortgage insurance to wider group
of users. % BY reducing capital re-
quirement, from $3.50, 900 to 100000,
they open such use to greater num-
Der of real estate companies. Real
estate firms place q large proportion
of the country's home mortgages.
90 Though the individual investor
is not specifically mentioned, the new
rules provide way through which
he may invest in insured home mort
cages, If his investment Is handled
as a trust. set up by an approved
mortgage.
Individuals Hold Big Block.
Individual investors, the ascot
alton has pointed out, actually fur
nish funds for between one-fourth
and one third of the home mortgages
of the country. q fact which has had
little previous attention, masked. as
it is, by the difficulty Of obtaining
totals Of such holdings.
Important to real estate also:
90 The reduction Of the insurance
premium to a fat one-half Of ! per
cent, this action retroactive.
"a Reduction of the maximum per-
mitted interest rate to per cent for
all types of mortgages.
There Is still no provision for sale
of insured mortgages outside Of the
circle of approved mortgages, except
the above provision permitting these
mortgages to be disposed Of to trust
held or administered by the approved
mortgage In a fiduciary capacity.
The regulations here provide:
upon the termination Of such
fiduciary relationship the insurance
shall remain in effect only so long as
such mortgage or another approved

for the first poisoning of industrial
life in the shape of countless sawmills

furniture, containers, and the several
thousand different articles made of

many different competing materials,
the lumber industry ranks near the
top with some 10000 mills, $1,000, oo0,-

directly and indirectly more than a

new prediction that the utilities

goes to President Roosevelt without
the death sentence" for holding
companies was made Thursday.
This development occurred as op-
posing forces prepared for another
conflict on the measure Monday.
II am morally certain" said
Chairman Wheeler D-Mont) Of
the senate interstate commerce
committee. "that the president
will veto the bill II II Is sent up 70
him without the death sentence"
Wheeler Is a sponsor Of the bill
which passed the senate In a form
satisfactory 10 the administration.
Beginning next Monday a new
conflict will start. Opp1lents OF
the death sentence viii try 70 have
the senate concur In the house
amendments Immediately. Wheeler
and the other administration forces
hope 10 send the legislation to a
conference OF senator's and repre-
sentatives in an effort 70 obtain
a result more satisfactory TO Mr..
Roosevelt.
Meanwhile two Investigations OF
lobbying for and against the bill
we're shaping up. Speaker Byrns
said that an inquiry which the
house rules committee will open
Monday will be full, fair, thor
ough and impartial"
This declaration followed a re-
mark by one legislator prominent
in the utilities fight, who predicted
privately that the house inquiry
might be a '-white-wash". with the
senate making the real" investi-
cation later.
Under a resolution offered by
Senator Black D-Ala) and ap-
proved Wednesday by the senate
interstate commerce committee. the
senate would conduct a $4,000 in

Hapsburgs Win New
Step in Return To
To Austrian Throne

GUM. here the 22-year-old Arch
duke Otto OF Hapsburg, pretender
70 the Austrian throne, Is living
With his family.
There was note OF caution. how
ever. in the exultation OF the legi-
timists. Having waited II years for
an opportunity 10 revive the mon
archy which fell with Emperor
Carl in 1918. they do not wish II
70 fail now.
The deepest concern felt BY the
sponsors for a restoration was over
the reaction abroad to the move
ment.
An impression prevailed that the
attitude OF the little entente ma
tons was more favorable than II
had been for years.
II was recalled that former Pre-
mier Yevtich or Yugoslavta said
recently: "A return Of the Haps-
burgs means war

discard. m~onarchists expressed a
belief that the new Yugoslav re-

Conservative leaders in the roy

strategy with the care OF a chess

step would be 70 bring back the
