Builders NOT Worried
Over Efforts 10 Curb
Mortgage Lending
BY Robert J. Lewis
sior ssaff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 1o.-Bufiders
at the convention Of the National
Association Of Home Builders are
not greatly worried over the sup
ply Of mortgage funds In 1855.
Leaders in the association are
aware certain parts Of the lend
ing Industry are planning a full-
scale propaganda drive aimed at: !:
4. FILA and VA legislation, on
the basis that it Is too liberal" J"
a Convincing the Eisenhower
administration to turn once
again toward q hard d-n1oney"
policy.
They See Reaction.
Builders aren't greatly worried
because they believe the logic of
the situation will work against
advocates Of a hard-money
policy.
They contend that:
/. It is apparent that leaders
In the campaign already under
way are seeking a larger share
Of conventional loans at the ex-
pense Of VA and FILA supported
lending.
O.. That the volume of savings
Is uildiminished and is sufficient
to take care Of expected home
production in 1855.
3. The year ahead win be q
stable one for the economy,
without any sharp boom bust
characteristics which would
Justify the Federal Reserve
Board or the Treasury Depart
ment to shift the gears Of fiscal
policy to slow down the fiow OF
mortgage credit.
Most important In this builder
confidence is the conviction that
the housing boom won't get out
of hand.
While most builders are OPP
tinistic,. leaders do not feel total
production in 1855 win exceed
IL million units, IL it reaches
that number. Only by mid 1855,
II 1t appears production will
sharply exceed that total, do
builders concede the supply Of
money available for mortgages
might not be fully adequate.
t . . Z. r
Attacks Ultra-LiberaI Policy.
One line Of attack against
present housing legislation and
the Governments present money
policy was laid down today in a
statement prepared by a spokes-
man for the Nations savings
and loan associations.

past president of the United
States Savings and Loan League.

He bitterly assailed Govern

what he termed undermining
convention loans.
