|uuiry. The results of their stud!
and their recommendations ar
embodied in their report to me
which I am transmitting, with thi
message, to the Congress.
"Bill of Voting Rights"
In this report, the Special Com
mittee of the American Politica
Science Association has set forth
a servicemen'S bill of voting rights
which I believe is so sound ane
right that it deserves the supper,
of the Congress and the country
"We believe that all service
men of voting age, whether in
the United States or overseas,
should have the right:
81. To vote without register
ing in person.
20. To vote without paying a
poll tax.
IS. To vote without meeting
unreasonable residence require
ments.
a. To vote without meeting
unreasonable literacy and edu-
cational requirements. =.
IS. To use the Federal post
card application for a ballot.
IS. To receive ballots for pri-
mary and general elections in
time to vote.
~. To be protected in the free
exercise of their voting rights.
"8. To receive essential infor-
nation concerning candidates
and issues.
g. To receive essential infor-
nation concerning the methods
by which, the right to vote may
be exercised.
40. To receive essential in
formation on the duty of cit
liens in uniform to defend our
democratic institutions by using,
rather than ignoring. their
voting rights"
Half States Bar Ballot.
In contrast to these standards
there are "a of our StateS-exactl!
half-in which many of our sol
diers, sailors and airmen will b.
unable to vote effectively ant
easily in 1852. Seven of thes,
States appear to have laws tina
are in conflict with the provisions
of the Servicemen's Voting Act O
1916. These States either max,
no provision at all for absente'
voting. or require registration b.
servicemen in person. In addi
ton, there are II States in which
the statutory interval permitted
between the sending out of th'
absentee ballots and the tim'
when the ballots must be returned
is so short that it will depriv,
service people overseas of decen
chance to get their ballots bacl
on Time.
The report I am transmitting Il
the Congress recommends ways O.
overcoming these defects, eithel
through special action by Stat'
Legislatures. or through more ef'
ficient and flexible administration
of State laws, or through cour
action. It also recommends tina
the States take action to permi
voting by spouses and dependent
of persons serving In the armet
forces, and by other civilian!
serving overseas. I hope all Stat
officials concerned will take thes'
recommendations to heart, and d,
all they can to improve the situa
tion in their respective States

basis of comparison, and didn't
necessarily contribute to public
understanding. Subsequently, how
ever. the Housing and Home FL
nance Agency did make available
comparative tables.
Adjoining this article are two
tables which were prepared by the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency to show a comparison be-
tween down payment require
ments previously in effect. and
the new requirements.
The joint reserve board and
HHFA statement issued earlier
this week to announce the new
rules was as follows:
1.-THE Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and the
Housing and Home Finance Ad-
ministrator today announced re-
visions of Regulation x and re-
lated restrictions on housing cred
it affecting l. to 4-family houses
and multi-unit residences, effec-
tive June IL, 1852. No change was
made in terms affecting nonresi-
dental properties, although the
board indicated that a change in
this area was still under consider
alton.
"The revision in Regulation x
will permit more liberal credit
terms for conventionally financed
l. to 4-family housing built after
August 8, 1850. At the same time
the Federal Housing Administra-
tion and the Veterans Admins
tration have been authorized by
the Housing and Home Finance
related regulations covering FHA-
insured mortgages and VA-guar-
anteed loans to bring them gen.
orally in line with the revised
Regulation x.
"FHA and VA regulations apply
to both old and new housing. A
similar revision is being author
lied in the terms applicable to
farm housing loans made by the
Farmers Home Administration.
"The lowered down payments
apply in varying degree from the
lowest to the highest priced homes.
In the case of FHA and conven-
tional loans on l to 4-family resi-
lences, the down payment has been
reduced from 10 per cent to 5
per cent, on houses costing $1,000
or less.
"At the other end of the scale,
the down payment has been re-
duced from SO per cent to 40 per
cent for houses costing $4,000 or
more. In the range of $1,000 to
$4,000 the new down payment
schedule represents a gradual
curve rising from 10 per cent to
the 40 per cent maximum.
"The schedule of down payments
for VA-guaranteed mortgages has
been proportionately adjusted to
a preference for Veterans
as required by the Defense Pro-
duction Act.
mo down payment is required
on veterans housing costing up to
$1,000, although closing costs must
be paid in cash. The down pay
ment required for houses costing
$4,000 or more financed with a |
VA mortgage is IS per cent COM
pared with previous maximum of
As per cent.
"The minimum down payment |
requirements for multi-unit hous-
ing Presidential structures con-
tanning more than 4-family units) |
have also been revised downward.
The range is from 10 per cent to
10 per cent for such housing as
compared with a range of down
payments from II per cent to SO
Evening star., 1952-06-14
per cent under the previous

per cent under the previous
schedule.
mo change was made in the
time allowed for paying off mort
gage credit subject to any of these
restrictions. The maximum amor
tization period on properties valued
at $4,000 or less is Is years and
for higher priced properties 20
years. except that veterans may be
allowed longer period if there is
a finding by the Veterans Admin
istration that a shorter amortiza-
ton would cause hardship.
1.-THE Board of Governors also
announced two technical amend
ments to Regulation x. The first
of these provides special assistance
for tenants and home owners
whose homes have been destroyed
or damaged in areas where major
disasters have occurred. In addi-
ton, Regulation x has been
amended to provide for longer
term sale agreements where prop
critics being purchased will not be
occupied or used by prospective
owners until the financing terms
comply with Regulation X"
Evening star., 1952-06-14

Builders weren't satisfied with
the slight relaxation of Regulation
x down payment terms for houses
that was announced this week, and
conceivably many would-be home
buyers felt the same way about
1t. Builders wanted the regulation
abolished. and say they are going
to urge Congress to throw it out
the window.
AS with most Government regu-
lations, it almost requires an at
torney to interpret it.
For example, if you are buying
a house which has value per
family unit" of more than $1,000
but not more than $1O,OO0," the
maximum loan value" as stated
by the Federal Reserve Board, is
$4,000 lie. 80 per cent of $1,000
plus rs per cent of excess of
value per family unit over $1,000"
Then there are the varying
ways of handling closing costs.
IF the sales price (Which ex-
cludeS closing costs) is $1,000 or
less. closing costs must be paid in
cash. If the sales price is more
than $1,000 but not more than
$4,000, the minimum down pay
ment is computed on the basis of
sales price. The maximum loan is
the difference between such down
payment and the transaction price
(Which includes closing COSTS.
III the sales price (the reserve
board continues) is more than
$4,000, both the minimum down
payment and the maximum loan
value are computed on the basis
OF the transaction price,"
That kind of language is diff
cult for the public to understand,
in the opinion of many.
The average broker doesn't
know much yet about how the
whole thing works, but probably
can be expected to have some one
ugure IL OUT Tor MIN eventually.
AS for the Government, it is safe
to say that few housing agency
employees could undertake to ex-
plain the new rules thoroughly
and come through with flying COL
ors. A couple have tried, and
have had to laugh so hard at their
own understandable inability toI
sort out all the devious threads
leading hither and yon in the rules
that they were unable to continue.
When the Federal Reserve
Board and the Housing and Home
Finance Agency issued the new
regulations, no effort was made
thoroughly to explain in the re-
lease how the new rules differed
from the old. That left many
newspapers up in the air for a
