EOME-BUYING VETERANS AIDED BY NEW
 DEFENSE HOUSING ACT

Conditions under which World War II veterans may finance home ownership with the aid of GI. loans have been eased con siderably by provisions in the new Defense Housing Act, ap- proved recently by the Presi- dent, according to the Veterans Administration.
 The new law:
 l. Reduces substantially the minimum down payment reQuir- ed on homes priced up to S12,000.
 2. Makes eligible for addi- tional home loan guarantees many veterans who previously used all or part ot their guar anty entitlement for home, farm and business loans.
 3. ReViVcs the direct govern mant loan program for veterans in areas where | per cent mort gage financing is unavailable from private sources. This last provision oI the law IS Of par ticular importance t0 veterans living in rural and less-popuiat- ed areas, the VA said.
 The direct loan program, ori- ginaily authorized oy the Hous- ing Act Of 1450 to continue only until June 20, 1851, is. extended to June 90, 1853.
 No additional funds are made available beyond the l5U mil lion dollars originally provided for the program, but t@e new law, by removing the limit o0 the total Of direct loans which might De made, makes D2ss.b.c the reuse ct the authorized. funds as a revolving fund.
 Thus, payments made 10 apply against direct loans and pro ceeds from the sale ot direct loan mortgages 10 private in vestors will go into the fund and become available for new loans
 Currently, about 33 million dollars remains available for the making of direct loans, the bal ance Of the I50 million dollars originally provided, Direct loans have be>n approved for some 17,000 approved applicants
 The amount remaining will finance six to seven thousand additional loans, the VA said

 Quite extensive damage has been done to city property by children. Windows broken by throwing of rocks, walking and playing on roofs, and destruction of furniture in general is evi- dent.

 The management and the city authorities appreciate the efforts ot those families who have work ed so diligently to make their individual unts clean and cheer full, many of them at their own expense.

Aviu+ion Sufefy Discussions
D. M. Gretzer
 for The Office of Aviation Safety
ACCIDENT RATES


 There are two basic types of ac- cidents which involve pilot error l. Those due to ignorance and poor training, and 2. Those due to care less and reckless flying.
 Since the largest part of accident groups involve pilot error, there is no reason why proper safety cam paigns should not reduce accident rates.
 The problem of careless and reckless flying is very similar to that of automobile safety on high ways. The pilots own safety, and his passengers, will De increased very much if he will always hold in mind:
 l. The passengers safety is my responsibility.
 ?. My passenger is too ignorant, aviation-W wise, to waive my respon- sibility.
 3. People on the ground can place their trust in no person but me to avoid their enlargement.
 1. Courtesy and consideration of the rights of others aTe the best rules of the road and the air. ACCIDENT STATISTICS
 The Alaskan accident rate is about ten times the National aver age based on accidents per pilot. How much more Alaskan pilots fly than Stateside pilots do is not matter of record
 On a rate per airplane' basis, in l949, Alaska compared very fa- vorably with states which had ap- proximately the same number of airplanes. The June l, 1851 CAB summary for the calendar year 1850 shows the following numbers of ac- cidentS:
 Alaska fatal, 85 non-fatal; Ida ho fatal, 29 non-fataA Maine 0 fatal, % non-fatal; Mississippi 3 fatal, IS non-fatal; New Mexico 3 fatal, 35 non-fatal; South Carolina fatal, 24 nonfatal; Utah ? fatal, IS non-fatal.
 The states listed above have ap- proximately the same number of airplanes as Alaska Thus, the new est report deprives us of the only yardstick We could dig up to show an accident rate in Alaska which was not too unfavorable.
