Government Moves To Retrieve Millions From Federal Housing Projects

WASHINGTON, R-The gov- ernment is heading for court in a move to get back millions of dollars in "windfall' profits paid cut of oversize federally guaran- teed loans on apartment projects.
 Housing and Home Finance ad- ministrator Albert M. Cole, in a weekend announcement of plans for decisive action" to that end, said promoters who cut up such melons violated Section eos of the housing law under which the rental projects were carried out.
 He said the law specifics that only earned income may be dis tributed to stockholders.
 The pilot action, Cole said, will be carried out at Fort Lee, NJ., where Sidney Sarner, president of 13 rental housing corporations, has been directed to call meet ings of preferred stockholders within 10 days for the purpose of removing the present directors of the corporation and selecting new ones.

Royalties From Natural Resources
 2roposed as Source Endowment Fund For School and Municipal Borrowers

ANCHORAGE, R-A proposal the territory establish a revolving endowment fund for the benefit of school district and municipal borrowers was made to the Alas ka Legislative Council Friday.
 A. w. Morgan, superintendent of the Anchorage Independent School District, suggested the principal sources for such fund might be royalties from produc- tion of natural resources.
 Alaska is young in development of it's resources, Morgan said.
 Citing the current activity in drilling for oil, he said now is the time to consider what the territory can do in the way of a royalty system which would be of direct benefit to everyone.
 Morgan said the states of Wyo- ming and Texas made an early start in establishing royalty sys- tems and endowment funds with substantial benefits resulting to school systems in those states.
 The school official said school and municipal borrowers in AL aska now are forced to pay ex- orbitant interest rates to outside firms. An endowment fund would keep interest money within the territory or would compel outside firms to lower their rates and make the market more competi- tive, he said.
 Morgan was one of the final witnesses to appear before the council as it ended three days of public hearings here.
 During the sess6bn, witnesses made suggestions for changing or adding a number of territorial laws, including those concerned with juvenile problems, annexa- ton, and public utility districts.
 Although time was allotted for hearings concerning tax incentive legislation no witnesses appeared.

We've been hearing so much about atomic power plants of ate happy to be able to pass along some doWn-to-earth information just how much advantage there is in cracking atoms instead of shoveling coal

that the conferences concerned
the breakdown Of the European

Mr.. Benson told his press con-

Tennessee and South Carolina
be designated disaster areas
eligible for Federal relief.
Texas, Colorado, New Mexico
Wyoming. Missouri. Oklahoma
Arkansas and Kansas have al
ready been declared eligible for
relief.
Mr.. Benson explained that re-
noval of the total acreage allot-
ment will not affect allotment
quotas for individual crops. But,
he said, it will permit greater
flexibility Of choice for farmers
who wish to plant acres diverted
from limited crops. Potatoes and
vegetables will remain under
acreage allotment.
The Secretary denied that the
move had anything to do with

tions in excise taxes, and the tax
reductions brought about by re-
writing the internal revenue code

the new estimates must have been
in the making for some time and
probably reflected the thinking
earlier when the world situation
looked better. Mr.. Hughes said
that was not the case. The ad-
ministration, he said, has got to
keep the question of ''long- term
strength" in mind and be gov
erned accordingly.
Secretary Humphrey said that
is absolutely right" when asked
if the change simply meant that
the administration believes now
that it "can get better defense
for less money" than appeared
likely in January. Global devel-
opments had no bearing on the
cut, he reemphasized.
At the same time, Wilfred j..
Mcneil, Assistant Secretary of
Defense, said construction and
procurement contracts to be let
in the next IL months would
jump to around SIG to $19 bill
lion, as compared to the current
level of $9.2 billion.
S9.2 Billion for Army.
Actual expenditures, he said,
are figured at $9.2 billion for the
Army; $10.3 for the Navy and
$15.5 for the Air Force.
The new security program
shapes UP like this:
Direct military outlays-$35.5
billion, compared to $37.5 billion
predicted in the January budget.
Fiscal 1854 spending was $4O.1
billion, and the 1853 peak, $43.6
billion.
Military aid to allied nations
$3.3 billion. compared to $4.2 bill
lion recommended in January
and $3.5 billion spent last year.
Atomic Energy Commission
$2.2 billion. compared to $3.3
billion proposed in January. The
current figure still is the highest
on record. and represents $307
million increase over last year.
Stockpiling emergency ma
terials-$900 million. an increase
of $500 million over the January
estimates, and also an increase
OF $3.50 million over the ex-
penditures in fiscal 1854.
Statement Amplified.
In amplification, the budget
statement said:
The expenditures will finance
the continued acquisition of
large quantities of modern
weapons and electronic warning
equipment ($13.2 billion in the
fiscal year 1855, none of which
is now being consumed by active
hoStilities); permit an, expan-
sion OF military reserve forces
