FHA's War Housing
Insurance Program
Nearing Completion

The Federal Housing AdminiStra-
lions war housing insurance pro-
gram, which has aided private
builders to produce more than 400,-
600 dwelling units for war workers
is nearing completion, Earle S.
Draper, deputy FILA commissioner
said today.
The program was inaugurated in
March. 1941, when Congress added
Title VI to the National Housing
Act. Insurance authority origin
ally was limited to 100000, 900 as
TO the principal obligation of all
mortgages insured but Congress
progressively increased the author
izstion to $1,8o0,O0 900.
~ Million Remains.
At the end of June, only about
$27,000,00O of the authorization re-
manned unused-enough, it was
estimated, to meet any emergency
need that may arise-and FILA has
congressional authorization to con-
tinue insurance operations under
Title vi until July l, 1916.
Since March, 194l, through June
30, private lending agencies have
advanced about $1,773,000,000 in
mortgage loans insured by FHA
Title VI. During the last three
years 1t is estimated that these loans
accounted for construction of more
than 80 per cent of the Nations
privately financed war housing.
Since the start of the program,
about 1885, 900 mortgages on one-to-
four family dwellings have been in
sured by FHA under Title VI for
total Of approximately $1,607 400, 900
In addition, 457 mortgages to fin
snce large-Scale housing projects
have been insured for approximate
ly $165, ,291 900, providing about 3d.
900 dwelling units built specifically
for occupancy by Immigrant work
ers in essential war industries.
Recognizes Risks.
Title VI clearly recognized the
increased risks for FHA in insuring
mortgages on war housing and gave
the Administration wide latitude in
their acceptance. Further, in view
Of the risks involved, a separate
War Housing Insurance Fund was
Established as a protection to FHA's
1utual Mortgage Insurance Fund
inder which peacetime operations
re carried out.
The War Housing Insurance Fund
-"as started with an initial alloca-
ION from the Reconstruction Fin
nee Corp. of $5,O0O,O00 and now
has total resources of more than
S33 100000 and an excess of re-
sources over liabilities of about
$6,28O,OO0.
1T is too early to tell" Mr..
Draper said, what FHA's ultimate
experience will be in the insurance
of war housing. However, if the
War Housing Insurance Funds
should prove unable to cope with
the situation, it was recognized from
the start that any losses simply
would have to be written off as part
OF the cost of the war"

Dock Crews Ren1oinO Out
 Britoin's 5 Food
 Supplies Hurt

London, Oct. l7-(UP)-Ten thou sand British dock workers voted al- most unanimously at a meeting in Victoria Pary today to continue a strike which has cut deeply into Britain's food supplies.
 Only 26 men voted to go back to work. The voting climaxed a mass meeting addressed by leaders of the strike committee. They included Thomas Powell, who told the strik- CTS:
 The choice is simply giving Don- ovan (the official union secretary, John Donovan) a chance to negoti- ate, and by that cutting yourselves entirely away from the north of England, or to stand firm in this new alliance"
 Another speaker, A. Langley, a delegate from the Liverpool strike committee, said his group had evolved a l0-point mandate and dockers would refuse to go back to work until Its main points were &C., cepted by the employers.
 Langley said the points included a 40-hour week, abolition of piece work and tonnage, union delegates to be elected not selected, overhaul of the machinery of the Transport Workers Union, administration of dock labor to be overhauled and im- proved medical services.
 A telegram was read from the Liverpool strike committee announc- ing that workers there had voted to continue the strike until their de- n1AndS were met.
 Donovan, when informed of the dockers' decision, promptly disown- ed the strikers. He said negotiations which were to begin tomorrow twill take place in respect to the men who have indicated their intention of being represented by the union. If some of the dockers still repudiate the union leaders, they must accept the position that. they are not part les to the discussion"

Urgent Appeals Made To Boost War Fund
All Must Work to Insure Success of Community Chest cGmpcign

The Combined War Fund and Community Chest campaign, seek ing funds for the support of A social and war agencies, would go over the top without effort if every person in the Waterbury area would pledge 10 cents a week for the coming year, Clyde Jennings chairman declared yesterday in a last week appeal for funds.
 With only six days left to attain the goal of $516, 1O3.37, more than $272, 900 must be pledged if g lo- cal social agencies and 19 war agencies are to receive the full support of Waterburians, MT. Jen- nings pointed out.
 MT. Jennings said a generous portion of every dollar contributed by Waterburians will go toward making thousands of American boys, now in hospitals and in armies of occupation, more com- fortable, as well as assisting many local families who may be facing hardships during the reconversion period.
 In conclusion the chairman said that hundreds of workers are now volunteering their time and effort to speed up the drive, and 1t is hoped that their hard work will achieve the results hoped for.
