MIR. Bidauf, premier since Octo-

cabinet last night in an ~$8 ,570,-

"Scoundrels," Rossellini shouted
as he jumped from his new

Villa 'Magherita Clinic.
This is enough, enough. When

Rossellini seized Photographer

Angeles, showed Rossellini right

Other photographers snapped
the scene as the two 185-pounders
jostled each other. Both are about
feet 10 inches tall. Rossellini is
43 and Birns 81.
Turning to a uniformed police
man, Rossellini ordered:

The officer ignored the order.

Rossellini was proclaimed the

Birns said he was startled when

RosSellini with the other.
Rossellini kept shouting. "It's

that the terms and administration

ers cannot give borrowers more
lenient terms than those specified
in the Regulation on loans for
financing new one-and two-family
residences where the loans are
not insured by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration or guaranteed

The supplement prescribes
maximum maturity of 20 years on
loans subject to the Regulation
except that with respect to prop
critics with a value of $1,000 or
less the maturity may be as great
as 25 years. Any loan subject to
Regulation X amounting to more
than so percent of the value of
the property must provide for ann
ortiZation.
This brief report sketches only
a few of the highlights of the
Regulation and necessarily skips
over definitions and detailed pro-
visions. What should be stressed
again is that Regulation X does
not apply to credit on and for the
purchase of old houses and that
it does not apply to temporary
construction loans of not more
than 18 months maturity.
The Federal Reserve System is
making every effort to be as
practical as possible in applying
the Regulation. The Regulation
contains provisions in Section 5
for the exemption Of cases involv-
ing special hardship or arising
out of disasters, accidents or other
unusual circumstances. Members
of the housing industry have been

Effective October II, 1850, the

estate construction credit with re-
spect to property on which new
residence, or a major addition or
major improvement to an existing
residence, was begun after Il
o'clock meridian, August 3, 1850.
The regulation applies, in general,
to banks, savings and loan associa-
tions, insurance companies, mort
gage companies, loan companies,
finance companies, real estate
companies, or other institutions or
individuals who are engaged in
the business of making real estate
loans. It does not apply to loans
insured by the Federal Housing
Administration or guaranteed by
the Veterans Administration.
Those two agencies have issued
companion regulations governing
loans insured or guaranteed by
them.
regulation x was issued under
the authority of the Defense
Production Act of 1850" approx
ed September 8, 1850, and Ex-
ecutive Order No. 10161, dated
September 9. 1850.
Regulation x does not apply to
houses built or started before
noon of August 3, 1850, and it does
not apply to any loan made tc
finance the building of a home
with the understanding thai
that loan will be paid of
within 18 months. In other words
no restriction is imposed by Reg.

Time Extended
On Statements

The time within which letters
or other statements pertaining
to outstanding contracts and OBJ
legations under Regulation x
may be sent to the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Cleveland has been
extended until December 81, 1850,
it was announced today. The
deadline previously had been No
vember IL, 1850.
The letters or other statements
referred to are pursuant to
Clause 90 of the second sentence
of Section 6 (b) of Regulation X,
which relates to restrictions on
residential real estate construct
ion credit. Section 6 (b) of the
regulation states, in part, that:
THE provisions of this regu-
lation shall not apply to or af-
feet any credit extended prior to
the effective date of this regu-
lation, or pursuant to any firm
commitment to extend credit
made prior to such date.
For this purpose a firm COM
mitment means (Clause (2) any
agreement to extend credit which
has been entered into good faith
by the parties and in reliance up
on which the prospective borrow
er has taken specific action prior
to the effective date of the regu-
lation, if the Registrant within
30 days after the effective date
of this regulation (now changed
to December 81, 1850 shall have
sent to the Federal Reserve Bank

business a letter or other state

spect to such agreement and the

placed by the Regulation on tenn
porary construction loans of not
more than 18 months maturity.
Under conditions specified in the
Regulation a loan made on a new
house or for the purpose of buy
ing or building a new house pur-
suant to a commitment made be-
fore October II, the effective
date of the Regulation, is not sub
ject to the Regulation. The con-
ditions under which such a loan
is exempt are spelled out in Sec
ton 6 (b) of the Regulation.
The Regulation, therefore. ap-
plies primarily TO mortgage loans
on new one-and two-family homes,
that is on homes started after
noon of August 3, on which no
commitment had been made be-
fore October II. 1t applies to a
loan made for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying or financ-
ing such a house or the right to
acquire or use such house. 1t
applies to loan for the purpose
of constructing such a house if the
construction loan has a maturity,
expressed or implied, of more
than 18 months. It also applies to
loan of more than $500 on or
for the purpose of financing an ad-
dition or improvement. If the loan
for financing the addition Or inn
provement is $2,500 or less, the
loan is subject not to Regulation
x but to Regulation w which
limits the use of consumer credit.
A supplement to Regulation x
prescribes the maximum loan
values permitted. These maxim
um loans range from 90 percent
of value on properties worth or
costing not over $4,000 downward
gradually as the value of the
property increases, to a maximum
of so percent of value on proper
ties worth $24, $50 or more. Put
in another way, a minimum cash
down payment of 10 per cent is
required by the Regulation on new
property costing not more than
S., 900. AS the cost of the property
increases the proportion of mini
mum cash payment required rises
until for all new residences cost
ing S24, ,250 or more the cash dowr
payment must be not less than sc
percent. This does not mean lend
ers have to give borrowers those
