In an interview yesterday, Mr.,
Turley said present CT and FILA
rates are totally unrealistic in
realization to the present money
market" He thus aligned himself
with delegates favoring higher
rates.
Present Rate Equals SO
At the moment, the CT rate is
Az per cent. with the FILA rate
the same, plus an insurance pre-
Gnium charge Of a half of pei
cent, making the FILA rate S pei
cent. In contrast, the rate on
conventional loans, those not
backed by Federal insurance or
guarantees against loss Is, in
many cases, higher.
A raise in the FILA rate can
be ordered without legislation
But an increase in the CT rate
must be authorized by Congress

since 1870, the bureau said.
1t gave two principal reasons
the mortality rate for men is
higher, and as immigration de-
clines there are more women
than men coming to this country
to live.
Under "a years of age, there
still are more males than females,
but the women take over at that
point and become more numer-
Ious in the higher age groups.
The 1910 census showed 1907
men for each 100 women. In
1910 the ratio was LOG males
for each 100 females,

Mortgage bankers have launched
a campaign to have Congress act
lfavorably on such an increase.
and they expect that If the CT
rate is raised CHA will follow
suit.
The last drive by mortgage
bankers for a raise in interest
rates was successful. In May,
1883. the CT rate was advanced
from 4 to 4Ia per cent. FILA
raised its rate from "A to AZ
per cent.
i Since then government backed
loans have continued at that
figure. though hidden charges in
the form of discounts have ac-
tually increased the cost OF
money.
Asked whether he thought an
interest rate increase would eli
inmate these hidden charges, Mr.
Turley said it all depended on
how high a rate increase is
authorized.
