Insured Loans Profitable.
"The Federal Housing Administra-
tion." Mr.. Gignilliat said. has re-
ceived hundreds Of letters indicating
that the experience Of financial in
stitutions with their insured modern
ization loans to home owners is not
only sound and profitable business
but also establishes the institution
as an active participant in the gen.
eral program of providing better
homes for responsible borrowers.
"It Is interesting to note that many
institutions have reported to us that
the good will engendered by extending
banking facilities to the small bor-
rover has improved their relationship
with the general public. A great many
banks, as result Of their experience,
have set up personal loan departments
to handle other types Of loans than
those provided for under Title I (the
insured modernization credit plan),
including the financing Of movable

for Biu Increase.

Single family and two-family homes
were responsible for the substantial in
crease In dwelling construction which
took place in March and April. accord
ing to the June issue Of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Review. An analysis
Of building permits reported to the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics shows that one
and two family units accounted for 30
per cent Of all dwellings authorized in
these two months, while construction of
apartment buildings Of three or more
families amounted to only 20 per cent.
In April, 1895, multifamily buildings
accounted for SO per cent.
States in the Southeast and Far
Southwest continued in April to lead
the country in rate Of residential con-
struction. The Los Angeles Federal
Home Loan Bank district, which in
cludes Arizona, California and Nevada,
maintained its lead of some months,
followed by the winston Salem dis
trict, comprising the District of Colum-
bia, Maryland, Virginia, North and
South Carolina. Georgia, Florida and
Alabama, with rates of 81 and 80 new
family dwelling units per 100000 OF
population, respectively.
Also above the national average were
the Little Rock. Topeka, Portland and
New York districts. Every district in
the country showed gain over April
of 1885. Snall-home construction In
cities of 10000 population and more
throughout the United States regis
tered in April its best month since
May, 1881.
Foreclosures in April for large urban
areas showed little change beyond re-
oecting the seasonal decline.

Large Elevated Lot
The Star home occupies an unusu-

Coverage Cut.

Calling attention to the rapid in
crease in good will between borrowers
and lenders stimulated by the insured
modernization credit plan during its
first 19 months Of operation, the Fed
eral Housing Administration has COM
municated with leading institutions
throughout the country extending
further cooperation and urging them
to continue to make improved homes
possible for responsible borrowers.
In q letter to financial institutions,
Deputy Administrator L. r. Gignil-
hat, jr,. pointed out that 1,022,2 ,23e
insured modernization loans had
been made by private lenders under
the plan for a total amount Of $751;
828,586, as Of April /, 1885.
Since that time. because of amend
ment to the national housing act,
20 per cent coverage on the total
amount Of insured credit advanced
by private lenders has been reduced
to 10 per cent. Continued participa-
ton by most of the financial institu-
tions approved as lenders under the
original plan indicates that 10 per
cent coverage is more than ample.

O the CLIO.


Green was instructed by the
council to ask the Typographical
union why it permitted its head
to serve with the "rebels" and to
make representations to Michael
Green concerning the propriety
of the association of one branch
of his union with the CIO. Pend
ing replies to Green's representa-
tions, the council will take no ac-
ton toward the two unions, it
was said.
The unions having a member
ship of more than 100000
workers whose leaders must drop
their utilization with Clio or be
suspended are:
The United Mine workers; the
AmaIgamated Clothing workers;
the International Ladies Garment
workers; the United Textile work
ers; the International Mine, Mill
and Shelter workers; the Oil
Field, Gas Well and Refinery
workers; the Flat Glass workers;
the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Tin and Steel workers; the
United Automobile workers, and
the United Rubber workers.
The decision climaxed a fight
in the ranks of organized labor
which began last November when
John L. Lewis and his aides form
ed the CLIO. Their announced pur-
pose was to unionize all the work
ers in mass production industries
in large individual unions. They
appropriated 100000 to organ
ize workers in the steel industry
and then spread their efforts to
enfold the rubber, automobile
and radio industries.
Their policies clashed sharply
