be notified and an ambulance
be sent for him.

WW Urges Financing Now
OF Million Rental Units

The Veterans Of Foreign Wars will
urge Congress to authorize immedi-
ate Government financing of 1,000,-
COO rental units for veterans, it was
announced today.
Wesley D. Pearce, VFW housing
chief, said the new housing program
was drafted at two-day commit
tee meeting that ended last night.
I'VE favor the Taft Ellender =
Wagner BILL" he said, "but that
admittedly is long-range measure.
We need legislation to get at least
900 900 rental units for veterans
Immediately. We believe veterans
want to own their own homes
eventually, but the need now is for
the low cost rental housing"
AS an aid to those who want to
buy homes now, Mr.. Pearce said the
committee also urged direct home
loans to veterans by the Govern
ment, instead of the present sys-
tenn by which the Government
partially guarantees private loans.
The proposal asks that the Gov
ternment charge 81 per cent in
terest on loans payable in 40 years
The VFW is dissatisfied with the
present program, Mr.. Pearce said
because Of "the widespread practice
of requiring veterans to make down
payments on loans"
