Hughes Praises Housing Act
AS Best Boon to Home Buyers

"The best housing opportunity
form home buyers in the past
20 years"
This was the comment on the
passage Of the Housing Act Of
1854 by r. g. Dick" Hughes,
president Of the National Assoc
citation Of Home Builders here.
He said the new bill reafiirms
the faith of Congress in the
Federal Housing Administration
and spotlights the increasingly
vital role which FILA must play
in raising the housing standards
of the American people
Everything that is new. bold
and forward looking in this
legislation is keyed to the ex-
pansion of FHA'sl1ome mortgage
insurance programs with the
ultimate aim of enabling every
American family to own good
housing in a decent neighbor-
hood" said Mr.. Hughes in a
statement.
Liberal Credit Terms.
This BILL" he continued,
"helps particularly those mil
lions of families in middle or
low income brackets who make
up the great bulk of the mass
market and whose housing needs
are most acute. The more lib
eral FILA credit terms provided
by this legislation should open
the way to home ownership for
non-veteran families who here
tofore have been blocked out Of
the market because they lacked
the cash reserves to make the
big down payments previously
required"
For example, a minimum down
payment of only $3.50 will be
required hereafter on a $4,000
FILA insured mortgage. COM
pared with the old minimum Of
$3.50. And it will be possible for
a family to buy $4,000 home
for a down payment of only
81. 200-instead of the former
$2,400-with monthly payments
of less than $50 for principal
and interest spread over a 30
year period"
Mr.. Hughes said it is impor-
tant that the housing agencies
which administer the law draft
proper regulations to make the
bills provisions work. With
proper regulations promptly is
sued. he said, the home-building
industry can provide housing in
areas and income categories
never before touched.

make the trade in program

Mr.. Hughes said this feature
OF the bill should also help to
conserve the Is million existing
homes said to be In need Of re-
pair. He continued:
''As written. the much-pub-
licized urban renewal portion Of
the bill bears little resemblance
to what President Eisenhower
proposed. He offered an effec-
tive, workable plan to fight
blight. The provisions Of Sec
tions go and 221. in our candid
opinion, provide little help to

up city slums and put new face

Matter Of Regret.
He said this aspect Of the leg
islation as originally proposed by
Gen. Eisenhower. would have
provided a program Of urban re-
newal whereby slum areas could
be rehabilitated and families dis
placed through rehabilitation,
provided with the opportunity
to buy new housing at low down
payments and 40 years to repay
the loan.
I'VE regret" said Mr.. Hughes.
"that Congress fsst it necessary
to place restrictions Of Section
220 which will, in our opinion,
make urban renewal completely
! ineffective and Section 221 In

Conduct Shopping

Ofdcials Of Government en-
ploye unions said today they
will keep q close tab on the ad-.
ministration's employe-con
Investigation program to make
sure that employees privacy
rights are not violated.
The einploye leaders made the
statement following q meeting
yesterday afternoon with Budget
Director Rowland Hughes and
Civil Service Commission Chair
man Philip Young.
Mr.. Young and Mr.. Hughes
issued q joint clarifying state
ment In which they said the en-
ploye conduct program was pri-
n1arily intended to prevent such
irregularities as occurred in the
Federal Housing Administra-
ton. They denied that the order
was designed to pry into an en-
ploye's private life. .
Not to Be Changed.
They said the program would
not be amended.
The statement was issued at
the start Of the meeting with
representatives Of the AFL Gov
ernment Employees Council,
which Is composed Of Federal
employe unions with q total
membership of more than 500.-
600. The union officials had re-
quested the meeting to clarity
details Of the order which had
been kept a secret for nearly
four months until revealed by
The Star several weeks ago.
Thomas q. Walters, operations
director Of the council, said he
and his colleagues had made It
very clear" to Mr.. Hughes and
Mr.. Young "that we will not
stand for any shopping into the
private lives Of Federal workers"

our position and that all the
newspaper publicity about the
