Producers Council
Offers Suggestions
On Home Financing

The Producers Council, Inc, today
made four recommendations de-
signed to streamline the procedure
for financing private residential
construction after the war.
Irving w. Clark, chairman of the
councils residential committee, listed
these suggestions:
That the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration be permitted to insure
mortgages of single-family homes,
occupied by the owner, in amounts
up to 80 per cent of the appraised
value provided the appraisal does
not exceed. $1,000
Passage of State legislation per-
mitting holders of trustee funds to
make direct investments In rental
housing under prescribed condi-
tions.
Adoption of mortgage provisions
more favorable to borrowers.
Discontinuance "as soon as DOS
sible" of Regulation w of the Fed
eral Reserve Board which restricts
the time allowed for repayment of
loans made for modernization and
repair of homes.
The stringencies Of the depres-
sion years do not appear to be in
prospect for some time. Accord
lngly, there is no general need for
providing additional financing in
centives. Instead, the need is to
streamline financing procedures so
as to be sure that they are truly
sound and provide a check upon
unsound methods, both in financing
and in construction" Mr.. Clark
said.
The council is national organi-
zation of manufacturers of building
and equipment.

C&P Refinancing

The Chesapeake g. Potomac Tele-
phone Co. was authorized yesterday
by the Public Utilities Commission
to issue renewal of notes amounting
to $1,975,000 to the American Tele-
phone 81 Telegraph Co. to finance
promissory notes.
The local company incurred its
Indebtedness in the acquisition of
and the capital net additions to, its
telephone plant and equipment in
the District" the commission said
All of the $50,0Oo,000 of common
stock of the c. g. P. Co. is owned by
the American Co.
The commission also agreed to a
request of the company for authority
to issue additional notes, provided
total Indebtedness to the American
Co. will not exceed $4,000, 900.
"The Indebtedness, actual and
proposed, to the American Co. con-
stitutes relatively small proportion
OF the total capital of the company"
the PUG decision stated TN view
of these facts, the commission is of
the opinion that an Indebtedness of
$5,000,0 900 to the American Co. will
not adversely affect the public in
terest and that the application of
the company should be granted"

WHY'S Is Disclosed
As 'Buz Bomb Builder

BY the Associated Press.
TOLEDO, Ohio. Dec. 9.-An Amer
ican version of the Nazi vi buzz
bomb is in production at the
Willys-Overland Motors plant here,
President Charles E. Sorenson dis
closed yesterday.
An experimental model of the
weapon was jet-propelled through
the air October II, just go days
after junk parts of a Naz bomb
were flown from England, the Air
Service Technical Command said.
The command did not disclose the
location of its proving grounds.
Yankee genius improved on the
German version, which terrorized
London last summer, the ATSC
stated, and its launching ramp is
better because 1t can be built in
four days, whereas the Nazis require
two weeks.

The first casualty report released since the invasion of
France reveals how high a price is being paid for the gain our
troops are making in the fierce and bloody battle OF Normandy.
In the first II days of that conflict, of the approximately 1OO,-
GOO Americans engaged, over 5000 were killed and $4,000
wounded, a total of more than $4,000, or some Is per cent of
the combatants, says the SpOkesman-Review.
These losses are said to be far under the casualties antici-
rated when the invasion was undertaken. But they are eX-
tremely heavy and the grim toll is mounting higher with every
hour of fighting on those blOod-drenched fields.
The figures bring home to us the deadly nature of the
struggle to win a tiny segment of French soil and are a warn
ing of what we must expect as the battle to smash the German
armies and free Europe from the Nazis progresses. 1t is the
very flower of young American manhood who are dying and
whose bodies are being broken over there that we may live
securely here at home. The least we can do in return for
their devotion is to keep at our work here without letdown.
