Money Obtainable From APP
proved Lending Institutions;
FILA Insures Against Loss

Families stricken by the recent tor
nadOes in Garrett county, Maryland,
was today informed the facilities and
cooperation of the Federal Housing
Administration in financing the res
toration of their homes and bus
mess and farm properties by State
FILA Director f. Lester Muller.

Muller said, owners or leSsees of
homes, farms, business or CONNER
cial structures damaged or destroy
ed by tornado, hurricane, cyclone or
ether catastrophe may get FHA-in-
Sured loans from approved lending
institutions for the purpose of hnanc-
ing the restoration, rehabilitation, re-
building or replacement of such
structures, ! q
This money is advanced by the in
stitutions at its own discretion, L
was pointed out, The FILA lends no
money. However, it insures the in
stitution against loss on such loans
and thus enables the institution to
make the loans on liberal terms.
The maximum amount for repair
or restoration of home or any other
structure under the provisions of Ii
tie | is $500, rcpayahle over a per-
iod of three years in regular Install
ments. The lending institution can
make its charges as low as it deems
advisable, subject to the FILA max
imum of SIS discount per 500 a year.
Families who have to build entirely
new homes to replace the ones de-
stroyed may apply for long-term
loans under Title II Of the National
Housing Act, subject to wartime limi-
tations of the National Housing
and the War Production Board. I'm
der these provisions. a loan for
building a single family home may
he for as much as $5,40O, repayable
in 25 years. with a maximum interest
rate of Az per cent per year on the
outstanding principal plus y per
cent mortgage insurance premium,
The maximum amount for replac
ing or rebuilding (not reparing)
farm structures, such AS silos. barns,
chicken houses and service buildings,
Is $4,000, repaid over period of
seven years if unsecured.
The maximum amount of replac
ing or rebuilding business or com
mercial structure is also $4,000, but
must be repaid in three years.
Special efforts will be made by the
local FILA offices to expedite all APP
plications for consent to repair or re-
store properties damaged or destroyed
ly the tornado, and for prioritieS for
critical materials necessary for con-
struction The FILA as a constituent
unit of the National Housing Agency
acts as agent of the War Production
Board in processing such applications,
Under WPB regulations, special con-
sideration is given to hardship cases
such as these, both in granting permits
sion to build and in granting priorities
for materials used in such construc
ton.

While Yawata was hit at night, he
reminded that doesn't mean the
B-29 is to be exclusively 4 night
bomber. Of the four giant fortresses
lost in that raid, one Is still in the
missing category, he disclosed. One
other was shot down over the target
and two others, he said, crashed
and burned"
The question OF air training arose
and Gen. Arnold was asked ii he
was planning to give more flyers
to the infantry.
: No more for the infantry" he
replied vigorously We're training
about $4,000 flyers a year and it
looks like we're about stabilized"
The time lag Of 4 year and two or
three months Is necessary to train
pilot when he enters the service
to the time he is actually in air
combat, he said. That's why We
recently cut down the pilot train
ing program" he explained. "Ac-
tually, we've only turned over 5000
airmen to the infantry"
Gen. Arnold could give no hope
for renewal OF pilot training for
women in the WASP. which was
called OF as result Of recent
congressional action.

ber OF deaths from traffic accidents

Meanwhile, transportation officials
expected a recordbreaking volume
