Mortgage insurance applications
were filed last month on 16,9O4 pro-
posed new dwelling units for essen
tial war workers by private lending
institutions under the Federal
Housing Administration program,
Abner H. Ferguson, commissioner
reported today
This compared with applications
Involving 14,518 units filed with
FILA field offices during May. The
applications for insurance sub
mitted by private lending institu-
tions last month involved war hous-
Ing mortgages of s74 $50, COM
pared with s62,697,70O received in
May.
OF the mortgage insurance ap-
plications filed during June, $751;
$1,000 involved proposed one-to-
iour family structures which would
make available 1919 family dwell
Ing units. This compared with ap-
plications totaling $40 9,270,5OO, and
involving 11,028 dwellings, which
were received during May.
In addition, applications were
filed last month on 81 proposed
large-scale rental housing projects
which would provide 3,785 dwelling
units and would be financed with
mortgages totaling $17,447 $50, in
sured under section 608 of the Ma
tional Housing Act. During May,
80 applications involving mortgages
of $17,811 $50 were filed with the
FHA under section 608 for projects

units.
During the first six months of
1943 the FILA issued commitments
Of mortgage insurance on 5000, $780,
6s4 in war housing loans to finance
the construction of approximately
1900 new dwelling units for war
workers.
More than IS per cent of all pri-

MIA LiberaIizes Rules
On Sale Of Housing
To War Workers

Regulations controlling sale of pri.
vately financed war housing have
been iberalized and the National
Housing Agency is continuing tts
efforts to encourage speedy produc-
tion of this type of dwelling to meet
quotas already established for indus
trial areas, John B. Blandford, jr.
administrator, said today.
Builders now are permitted to sell
up to third of the total dwelling
units in all projects which were built
in a war housing area under priori-
ties applied for by February 10,
he said.
Rental Period Cut.
Remaining units, which must be
aeld for rental. may be sold to eli
Ible war worker occupants after
Two months rental occupancy, at
the option Of the tenant. Previously,
it was required that all privately
financed war housing built under
prlorities applied for on or after
February 10 be rented for four
months before sale was permissible
at the option of the tenants.
Notifications of regulations have
also been made for reconsideration
OF established rental schedules. If
additional and unforeseen costs were
incurred during construction over
which the builder had no control,
and for reasonable charge for
garage space and the addition of
actual cost on a prorata basis of
tenant gas and electricity.
Because Of the serious shortages
OF critical materials required for
direct war production, the MIA can
authorize war housing only to ac-
commodate essential incoming war
workers, which naturally requires a
much higher proportion of rental
quarters than was customary in pre-
war private home building opera
tions," Mr.. Blandford explained.
Aims to Assist Builders.
However, under the new regula-
tions, builders can sell a substantial
portion Of their new dwelling units
Immediately upon completion, if
sales market for the houses exists
among the eligible immigrant work.
ers in the community. Moreover,
their remaining units also can now
be sold to eligible tenants after two
months rental occupancy, provided
the tenants wish to buy he said.
In its new rental-sales regulations.
as we'll as in its previous rules re-
lating to privately financed war
housing construction, the MIA has
aimed at assisting private builders
in every way compatible with the
paramount needs of the war pro-
gram, Mr.. Blandford said.
Our objective has been to pro-
vide private builders of war housing
with as great degree of certainty in
operating conditions as can be at
tanned in wartime, to establish ma
chinery for quick decisions and for
quick review of the fairness and
necessity of the rules as applied to
any particular case. and to avoid
retroactive decisions" he declared.

By the Way
= BETH BLAINE

Working for the USO is right
down Miss Ruth Orndorff's alley.
She has had background of con-
facts, of organization, of expe-
rience and of education that has
equipped her for the very impor-
tant and very comprehensive job
she is doing for the women's divi-
sion Of NCCS, USO as one OF
their regional supervisors.
She herself will tell you-very
modestly-that she doesn't con-
slider the work she's doing OF
nearly so much importance as
that of some of the volunteers.
But the volunteers who work
under her will tell you that her
supervision and her ideas and
her organization ability are tops,
and that If things run smoothly
for the USO in the five States
under Miss Orndorff' jurisdic-
ton, 1t Is due largely to Miss
Orndorff's ability.
She Is native of Spokane,
Wash. She attended the Uni
versity Of Washington, Boston
University. Emerson College and
the Boston Conservatory OF Mu-
sic. She says she Is probably the
worst musician who ever attended
the latter, and that she probably
enjoyed herself the most. She
taught at various high schools
throughout her native State and
was for four years superintend-
ent Of the State Training School
for Girls. She did newspaper
work and then returned to the
University OF Washington to
teach English and journalism.
"Whew = " we commented
when our questions had brought
forth the above What lot
Of work you've done ." ="
II like work" laughed Miss
Orndorff. looking gay and
bright-eyed and so pleased we
knew she meant it. And don't
think she isn't doing a lot Of
work now too, for she is. Her
Job takes her travelling all over
the country. She's sat on suit
cases in train aisles and stood
in buses and waited in line for
hotel room day after day she
says, for the travelling problem is
a serious one to her. Her job is
to visit these USO Clubs in her
area and it has to be done
crowded trains or not. She keeps
an eye on the club problems, on
the finances, helps with new
ideas, gets to know the volun-
teers in each club and the staff
members. Every USO Club has
professional staff augmented
by volunteers.) She loves the
work. and is most impressed. she
says. by the fast friendships that
are formed between the service
men and their families and the
volunteers working for them.
