j. S. EXPERTS MAP
new HOUSING PLAN
Subsidies Proposed in Long.
Range Program to Aid
,.o loW.Income Groups.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
With the dual aims Of prodding the
construction industry and providing
homes for low-income groups, plans
for q new housing program are being
charted by administration experts.
The program calls for a long-range
plan OF Government subsidies to enable
States and communities to provide low
rent housing.
Similar in many respects to q plan
advanced by Senator Wagner. Demo-
crat, of New York in the last Congress,
present proposals call for Government
grants and loans to local groups.
Housing officials said today they
considered present machinery made
quate to provide low-cost housing on
an extensive scale.
May Change Existing Activities.
Consideration also is being given to
changing existing Federal housing
activities.
Among these, officials said, are sug-
gestions for amending the Federal
housing act to extend the Government
guarantee Of insured mortgages, which
expires July /, and to increase the per-
centage Of mortgage insurance which
the Federal Housing Administration
may grant.
The F. H. A. has about SIS, 900 900
In a reserve fund to pay of mortgage
holders when foreclosure proceedings
are launched. Premium payments are
expected to increase this to about
e20,000,000 by July l.
Only five insured properties have
been foreclosed 50 far, and the re-
serve fund thus is more than ample
Under present conditions. Of1cials
believe. however, its extension would
have a good psychological effect on
lenders.
May Increase Insurance.
Another change under considers
ton calls for increasing from 80 to
% per cent the insurance which the
r. H. A. may grant. It probably
would be limited to mortgages OF
$1,000 or less.
This, some officials believe, would
be a powerful factor In promoting
construction by families Of moderate
incomes, because 1t would make pos
sible home building with q down pay
nnent Of only 10 per cent.
The subsidy program. which would
take over present P. w. A. housing
activities, probably would start with
an appropriation of less than
100000, 900.
Senator Wagner's housing plan in
the last Congress called for direct
grants to States and communities up
to IS per cent Of the cost of projects
There now Is some discussion Of max
ing this 80 per cent. Loans could be
advanced for the remainder Of the
cost.

netted each man Ill pins. Then fate,
or superior bowling, stepped in and Mr..
Courtney chalked up . score Of III

over 108 pins.
Mr.. Courtney also figured in . solo
