HIT
! IN MISSOURI

In a report of the Missouri joint
labor legislative committee, made
public here today by H. H. Wash.
burn, jr., it was charged that "spe.
cial interests were more arrogant"
and seemed to have a more lin.
Sidious influence" than at any
time in the history of the general
assembly of Missouri.
"In the House of Representa-.
tives it was no uncommon sight
to see lobbyists working on the
floor Of the House while it was
in session, apparently with the
consent of the Speaker"
The report also said refresh.
ments were served members sus-
ceptible of being influenced in a
room less than so feet from the
floor of the House.

HOUSING IN
COUNTIES

This is the last Of three articles
on the Better Housing Program
of the Federal Housing Admin
filtration in the District of COlun1.
bio and nearby Maryland and
Virginia counties.
| BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Since March / of this year no
less than $333,000 in home mort
cages insured by the Federal
Housing Administration has been
granted by banks on property To-
Gated in four Maryland and Vir-
ginia counties adjacent to Wash
ington.
All but $4,000 Of the $3S3,OOo
has been secured, either for re-
financing existing residences or
financing new ones, from banks
within the District.
This proof of growing activity in
the better housing progrom, as
revealed by a survey made espe-
cially for The Washington Times
by the Federal Housing Admins
tration, shows also that coopera-
ton of local banks has made pos
sible much building in the four
counties, Arlington and Fairfax
counties, Va, and Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties, Md.
Banker Enthusiastic
Charles H. Doing, president Of
the District Of Columbia Bankers
Association, states:
being convinced of the prac-
ticabiIity of the Better Housing
Program at its inception, the
banks at once qualified as loan.
ing agencies and proceeded to
pass favorably upon applica-
ti0nS, until, to date, 1871 loans
have been made, representing
nearly a million dollars. Not
satisfied, however, with the
progress that was being made,
cooperative advertisements were
inserted in the daily papers in
viting applications an acquaint.
ing the public with the banks
willingness to make such loans,
which are now considered a most
satisfactory form of investment
for a portion Of any banks
funds, since payments have been
so promptly made in practically
all cases.
"These figures relate to loans
under the mOdernization credit
plan of the National Housing
Act. However, the amount of
credit extended by the banks
under Title II, covering loans
on real estate for extended
terms at a low rate of in.
terest, has also reached i'm
pressive figures"
INSURED MORTGAGE LOANS
The records show that local
banks, under the insured mort
gage plan, have loaned 500, $50
in Prince Georges county; $751;
O70 in Montgomery county; $122,-
$50 in Arlington county, and
$19,560 in Fairfax county. In
addition, two loans totaling
$4,000 have been made by Fair
lax banks within their county.
The largest loan reported in
any county was for $11,700 in
Montgomery county. The small
est was for $4,000 in Fairfax
county.
AS more and more money is
put into circulation in this way,
both in the District and its en-
virons, more and more business
will come directly for the con-
struction industries; indirectly
for other industries. and more
and more decent citizens, jobless
through no fault OF their own,
will again become wage earners,
according to housine officials.
