More F. H. A. Insurance
Backed 10 Aid Defense
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Senate Banking Subcommittee
yesterday approved a S200,000,0 600
increase in F. H. A. insurance for
defense housing after learning that
more than 1900 new units were
started last week.
Senator Taft, Republican. of
Ohio. who voted for the increase,
said. he thought this was utterly
inconsistent" with administration
proposals for a curb on installment
buying of refrigerators, stoves and
other things that go into houses.
Abner H. Ferguson, Federal
Housing administrator, said new
homes did not have the same in
flationary" effect as the buying of
automobiles and other goods, be-
cause homes were an investment,
while many of the other articles
were in the luxury class.
Charles F. Palmer, co-ordinator
of defense housing, testified that
Government insurance of these
mortgages had demonstrated how
private enterprise" could aid the
defense program. He said that
$3.50 houses already were under
ways and that the original $780,
100000 Of F. H. A. mortgage insur-
ance voted by Congress in April
for this purpose was nearly ex-
hausted by applications on $4,000
defense housing units.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Wheat prices
shot up as much as 21z cents in the
first few minutes of trading today,
but then about-faced and tumbled
back to around yesterdays close.
Short covering and mill buying
contributed to the original upward
drive, with houses with Eastern
connections bringing substantial
orders into the pits. Some buying
also was of a stop loss nature.
Profit taking developed rapidly on
the reaction.
Trade attention centered on the
Roosevelt-Churchill statement but
there was no unanimity OF opinion
about what it foreShadows. Failure
of the stock market to show any re-
action caused some late selling and
there was uncertainty about the fate
of the bill to freeze wheat and corn
stocks held by the Government.
Wheat closed unchanged to 4
lower compared with yesterdays
