Two Congress Groups
To Push Inquiries
Into FILA Scandals
By Hector Mclean

The two-pronged congressional
investigation of Federal Housing
Administration scandals is sched-
uled to open up again this
week
What has been billed as a
brief preliminary" probe by the
Senate Banking Committee will
resume Wednesday for a two
day run, after flve-day session
last week.
About the same time, the
Joint Committee on Reduction
Of Essential Federal Ex-
penditures. headed by Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia,
will open hearings designed to
cap a year-long probe of FILA
irregularities.
Senator Byrd's committee held
one session last week to hear
Internal Revenue. Commissioner
T. Coleman Andrews and then
recessed until after vacationing
House members return tomorrow.
Revision Of Bill Planned.
The Banking Committee,
headed by Senator Capehart, Re-
publican, of Indiana, will call
several present and former off,
cialS of FHA in an attempt to
find and plug loopholes in the
House-approved Federal Hous-
ing bill of 1854, which is now
before the committee.
Senator Capehart has said the
committee must rewrite the bill
to prevent builders from making
"windfall" profits by getting FHA
mortgage loans for more than
the cost of construction. The
1ndianan has promised a year.
long investigation of such cases
after work on the housing bill is
completed.
BY thus "mortgaging out" un-
der Section 608 of the Federal
Housing Act (Which expired in
1850. apartment house builders
are estimated to have made
"windfall" profits of perhaps
$500 million.
Expert Testimony Sought.
Senator Capehart still is seek
ing expert testimony on opera
ton of the rental housing pro-
gram which he did not get from
Clyde L. Powell, who resigned re-
Gently as assistant FHA commits
sioner in charge of that program.
Mr.. Powell refused to testify
on the Fifth Amendment grounds
that he cannot be compelled to
be witness against himself in
a criminal case.
In Mr.. Powell's stead, Senator
Capehart plans to call LeGrand
w. PURGE. deputy assistant FILA
commissioner. and at least two
former officials of the agency.
They are Walter L. Greene,
who retired as deputy commits
sioner when asked to resign, and
Howard M. Murphy, assistant
general counsel for the agency,
whose resignation was an
nounced Friday night.
