He pointed out. however, that
parking garageS-which the city
favors-involve investments of 81
million or more and that it takes
time to get them developed.
Highway Director John N. Rob-

stricter enforcement of the city's

league Says VA Fails
To Give GIs Enouuh
Help on Home Buying
Chairman Of House Group
Threatens to Keep Ceiling
Contractors and OfficiuIs
By George Beveridoe

Representative league, Demo
crat. OF Texas, charged today that
Washington area veterans have
not been getting proper considera-
tion from the Veterans Admin
istration in connection v:,h home
purchases under the CT Bill.
Mr.. league made the charge
as a select House committee he
heads opened an inquiry on the
Washington area veterans hous-
ing program. The inquiry centers
around policies followed by the
VA in guaranteeing home loans
for veterans.
Testimony today revolved
around complaints of delay and
faulty construction brought by
home owners in a suburban de-
velopment known as Templeton
Knolls ins East Riverdale. Md.
VA Officer Quizzed.
Committee members questioned
at length Morgan B. Callahan,
VA loan guarantee officer for this
area. and Lacy Smith, his chief
appraiser, about increases in ap-
praised value of the Templeton
Knolls homes allowed by VA.
Questions centered also around
changes VA allowed builders to
make in homes without notifying
the veteran buyers.
Mr.. league told Mr.. Callahan
he wanted to question him further
about the specific instances at the
next committee meeting Friday
morning. He threatened to call
VA officials and builders to Capitol
Hill every day until Congress ad-
journs If we have to-"
Cuts Requirements.
The chairman said the law re-
|quires VAS first consideration in
guaranteeing the home laws be to
the Government, with the second
consideration going to the veteran
and the third to the builder. He
added:
Veterans in this area haven't
been the second consideration by
any stretch Of the imagination"
Earlier, the committee heard
specific complaints from three vet
IeranS who have bought homes in
the subdivision Of about 300 two
story, semidetached homes.
The opening witnesses were
Ferdinand c. Meyer of 6012 Long
fellow street. East Riverdale;
Charles r. Anderson, 61O6 Long
fellow street, and Charles Gaff-
ney, 6100 Longfellow street.
Tells of Price Bid.
Mr.. Meyer, a Navy Department
budget analyst, told the commit
tee he moved into his $ll,39C
home last November 1, after sign
ing sales contract in October
1850. He said the prospective
buyers had been told the homes
would be ready within 100 days
after they signed the contract.
The builders, he testified, at one
time asked him If he would agree
to a price increase to $12, 500 for
his house. He said he refused
and settled for the original con-
tract price.
