No Trouble This Year
Financing Home

Families desiring to purchase new
homes should have no difficulty in
obtaining favorable mortgage loans
this year, according to Elias w.
Nuttle, Denton lumber and build
ing materials dealer and member
of the Public Affairs Committee of
the National Retail Lumber Dealers
Association.
Mortgage funds are becoming
more readily available for all types
of new housing, including con-
ventional loans and those insured
or guaranteed by the FILA and the
Veterans Administration, and still
more liberal terms will be obtain
able if Congress approves the
recommendations made recently by
President EisenhOwer's Committee
on Housing" Mr.. Nuttle said.
with long term financing freely
available, 1854 Will be a good year
to build or buy a new home, because
prices appear to have stabilized.
There is every reason to believe
that any fiuctuatiOn in the cost
of labor and materials will tend
to balance each other during the
next year or so. Shortages of
building products and of skilled
wOrkmen which contributed to
price fluctuations in the past few
years have completely disappeared
''The Presidents Housing Com
mittee has recommended an in
crease in the size of loans which
can be insured by the FILA, q
longer repayment period, and lower
down payment requirements or
medium-priced homes, all for the
purpose of bringing modern hous-
ing within the reach of a maximum
number of American families.
1.-THE COmmitte also advocated q
flexible interest rate FILA and va
loans as a means of preventing
shortages of mortgage funds suct
as occurred during 1858"

Frear Calls For
Realistic Approach
With The Latins

United States Senator J. Allen
Frear has called for a constructive
approach by the United States, in
order to insure the success of our
relations with the Countries of
Central and South America.
In his second weekly statement
for the new Session of Congress,
Mr.. Frear discussed the hearings
which opened this week in the Sen
ate Banking and Currency Commit
tee, and which will deal with in
ternatiOnal banking and trade mat
tiers between North and South
America.
Mr.. Frear again warned that the
United States must take positive
steps to diminish the threat of com
munism in countries below the Dor
der.
"As 1 have said before" Mr.
Frear added, there is a potential
ly excellent future in matters OF
trade, cultural ties, as well as
hemisphere defense between North
and South America. But, a cOnstruc-
tive approach on our part is vital
ly necessary to insure the success
of this relationship.

American leaders. In the opinion
OF the United States, it has weak
ened the bargaining power of the
West at Geneva and has stalled
us. efforts to line up military
backing for France in Indochina.
The expectation that the Indo-
china peace talks would finally get
down to concrete proposals was
based on last Fridays agreement
that military problems should be
given priority over political issues.
The agreement ended long
procedural wrangle and some del
egates hailed it as a step forward.
But the United States and some
others saw no reason for optimism.
A spokesman for this group said
the Communists and the West were
standing firm on all major issues.

CO F. de la Nuez. It read:
Il beg you to greet the Cuban

ban Independence Day, and extend
my greetings to the people of

eminent will grant an appropria-
ton for the Patio Jose MART (roof)
before Oct. 10, 1854"
"This date" said Consul Gener-
al Bolivar, in an address to thou
sands of people of Cuban descent,
points to the moment when our
dear Cuba became part of the con-
stellation Of free countries in Am
erica"
The speaker paid tribute to Mar
tbs efforts in the early eos which
resulted in Cuba Libre by tanning
anew the spark of revolution kind
led in 1868 when the Ten Years
War began on the island.
Said Consul General Bolivar:
''The figure of our great Apostle,
Jose MART, appears during this
period. With his masterful words
and creed he was able to unite
the old revolutionary chiefs. He
united our emigratious, dispersed
in New York, Key West and Tam
pa, and helped MART with the ut
most enthusiasm and patriotism. It
is these, our well-remembered com
patriots, humble cigar makers, who
collected funds for the Revolution
airy Party which MART founded in
Key West.
Here, in Tampa, MART gave the
order for the revolt to Juan Gual-
berto of Havana"
The Consul General pictured in
thrilling words the last days Of
Marti and his death and burial at
Santiago de Cuba. There, he said,
Cuban students keep the gravesite
adorned with white flowers. The
speaker concluded, "to all Of our
compatriots who sacrificed their
lives to those glorious feats, our
eternal gratitude.
