In the opinion of some politi-

miniStrations' program will ira
verse a great deal of the territory
that has been covered in the past,
except to diminish emphasis upon
expenditures for public housing
and, in general, cut down or
transfer Federal responsibilities
so that private enterprise and
States and municipalities may
have a greater share of the credit
for what is done in housing-or
greater blame for what may not
be done.

Administration Keeps
Freedom Of Action
On Housing Issues
Continued From Page B-1.)

CONTINUED From Page BID
the Advisory Committee and a
prominent official of the National
Association of Home Builders,
gives a Succinct account of other
industries attitudes in the Octo-
ber issue Of the Society of Resi-
Dental Appraisers magazine.
His account, first presented as
an address in Texas prior to the.
first meeting of the Advisory
Committee. doesn't refer to the
committees differences. since 1t
antedates the first meeting. But
it does summarize the attitude
of other industries regarding
Federal activity as follows:
"When Albert Cole was ap-
pointed the administrator of the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency, he was charged with the
responsibility of making a full
and complete study of the Fed
eral Governments housing pro-
gram.
And you may be surprised as
we were by the attitudes of other
industry groups concerning the
housing program.
with the exception Of home
builders. each group represented
made the positive statement that
the Federal Government should
get out of housing!
"NAHB representatives fought
bitterly all afternoon for the
life of FHA. VA and FNMA."
Home builders presumably
have gained many concessions
since that time. But since eco
nomically what they consider to
be their best interests do not
always coincide with those of
lenders, the committees DOM
nance by lenders was certain
from the first to provide a strong
area of agreement on number
of issues, such as those involv-
ing the fate of the Housing and
Home Finance Agency, the Fed
eral Housing Administration, the
Veterans Administration, the
Federal National Mortgage AS
sociation and other activities.
The Mortgage Bankers Associ-
alton has gone on record, for
example. in favor of a program
that would strip the agency
which Mr.. Cole heads of admin
istrative duties except those of
directing a small staff to handle
a sort of ivory-tower policy
making and co-ordinating ac-
tivity.
1t also wants the Government
to say it will divorce it's program
of supporting lenders against
loss, from the matter of what in
terest rates are charged.
Mortgage bankers seem to
want lending risks removed by
the Government, but don't want
such guarantees tied to benefits
for borrowers in the form of a
relatively low interest rate, such
as the present Az per cent.
They want Government
supported interest rates allowed
to seek their own level, no mat
ter how high that is. In COM
pany with other industry groups,
including the home builders and
the realtors, they have also been
hammering for establishment of
a secondary market setllp, with
Federal funds, that will allow

private lenders eventually to
take over and direct such a
clearing house for mortgages
without Government interfer-
ence.
What the Advisory Committee
will come up with on these is
sues and otherS-such as what
sort of "integration" the VA
mortgage-guaranty system shall
have with FILA, what liberaliza-
ton of FILA terms there shall
be for purchase of existing
houses and rehabilitation of old
houses, the extent and character
of future public housing. the re-
shutting of agency responsible
tiles, and other matters-is still
largely undecided.
If the committee can be de-
pended on to operate on sched-
ule. it will have it's recommenda-
tions in shape within a few
weeks.
Commissioner Cole had meet
ing on Tuesday of this week with
the Executive Committee. An
other meeting of the Executive
Committee is scheduled for
November 80. And the whole
committee will meet December /,
2 and 3. At that time, the ad-
vlsory group is supposed to make
its final decisions so that they
can be staff written and turned
over to the President in time for
him to talk the whole matter
over with congressional leaders
at White House conferences ar
ranged for December II to 10.
Probably the two biggest
political issues involved are the
matter of what recommendations
the administration will have with
regard to interest rates and pub
lie housing.
Potentially the VA issue could
be a big one. but there are few
who have any hope, or fear. that

This Is How
Tax Dollar
Is Spent

Where does the East Cleveland
tax dollar go
This question is being answered
this week as East Clevelanders re-
ceive the annual report of the City
Commission and being distributed
now.
AS usual, the report is good. 1t
reveals sound financing and good
housekeeping in all departments.
The increased costs all along the
line is a trend which is all too
familiar to every householder
from his own accounting expert
ence.
A diagram shows that 55.422
cents of every tax dollar goes for
educating of the city's youth. The
city gets 30.522 cents out of which
5.221 is Sinking Fund require
ments, 2.416 cents meets the city's
share of police and fire pension
payments; 1875 cents for capital
improvements and 20.964 for oper-
ating costs.
The county assessment is 1851
cents and state assessment is
1905.
The recent 259o increase in
property valuation has been large
ly offset by both school and city
officials by a decrease in their
respective rates to bring in about
the same dollars as each had set up
in their budget.
East Cleveland real estate taxes
of $1,670,00O for 1854, are about
1000 of the 1880 peak of $2,357 900
according to the report.
One of the biggest increases in
every department of the city is the
higher wage and salary require
ments. Insofar as possible, the city
has kept pace with rising labor
costs to maintain the efficiency of
all services.
An interesting item concerns the
municipal bonded debt which in
1852 was 100000. The highest
debt experienced by the city was
between 1925 and 1880 when it
reached $3,O79,OO0 including spe-
cial assessment obligations. The
general debt at the same period
was under 100000.
The report notes improvements
made during the past year
Under the street and mainten-
ance
The report merits a study by
every East Clevelander, property
owner or renter.

in which to play basketball, volley-

Speaking of the $476,OOO invest

The gymnasium's 1852 comfort

will accommodate a large audience
for musical or other types of pro-

space for musical groups or what
ever it may be. Rolled back, the
bleachers clear the $4,000 square

an area.
Acoustics in the gymnasium are

Today's older generation, with
added years, is opening a new
channel of service in Public Health,
declared DIR. John P. Winkler,
directors of health for East Cleve-
land before the East Cleveland
Community Councils March meet
ing.
Those added extra years which
changing living conditions and sci
ence has made possible, is bringing
new problems in diseases of an
older generation. Public Health
studies are constantly changing to
keep step with this trend.
Among the diseases peculiar to
this added circle in life's span
are mental diseases, diabetes, can
Ger and cardiovascular ailments.
This is quite a change from the
early history of Public Health
services when illness, since brought
under control, were prominent.
DR.. Winkler urged every adult to
take every opportunity for health
check-ups, especially in the battle
against tuberculosis and cancer.
