Walter Reuther today &C.
cused Senator Mccarthy, Repub-
lican Of Wisconsin, of "appall-
ing ignorance or a deliberate dis
tortion" of Mr.. Reuther's stand

Mr.. Reuther, vice president of
the AFL-CIO and president of
the United Auto Workers. also
told Senator Mccarthy that the
Senator himself accepted Com
munist backing "before you de-
cided that fighting communism
as a matter of political ex-
pediency was a road to personal
power"
At the time that occurred, Mr.
Reuther said, I'VE" in the JAW
leadership were fighting to de-
feat within the union those
same Communist leaders" whose
political backing he said Senator
Mccarthy took.
The accusations were made in
a telegram to Senator Mccarthy,
given out by Mr.. Reuther, in re-
ply to a message from Senator
Mccarthy yesterday. In the ear
lier message Senator Mccarthy
called Mr.. Reuther "a clumsy
practitioner of double standard
of morality" for denouncing Dave
Beck. president of the TeamsterS

Amendment in a Senate racket
probe.

ened its inquiry TO include re-
ports Of alleged collision With

On his arrival in Seattle. and
on his way there, Beck did not

Decries Theft Charge
While saying he had no COM

Beck described as 'preposterous
the suggestion by Committee
Chairman Mcclellan. Democrat

than $4,000 of Transfers funds
could only be described as
theft"
1t Is prepoSterouS and with

is easy for man in his post to
make accusations. In my opin-
ion such language is totally ir-

Beck has repaid S270.000 to

Aid to 1868

The majority Of home buyers
who secured financing through
the Voluntary Home Mortgage
Credit Program in this area OF
the country were in the $4,000
to $4,000 annual income bracket.
This was announced today by
H. Colin Haines, newly appoint
ed executive secretary OF the
VHMCP in Region w which
covers the District, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, Della
ware and Pennsylvania.
During the period from jan
uary, 1855, to this past August
81 the Region Nv Office placed
2,668 mortgage loans through
the program, which aims at
finding lenders on FHA-insured
and VA-guaranteed mortgages
for buyers in rural areas where
funds are unavailable, and for
members Of minority groups.
OF the 1858 mortgages, Mr..
Haines said that 1853 were
made to families in the $4,000
to $4,000 income bracket.
These represented SO per cent
Iof the number. The balance
was divided between SO mort
cages, or about l per cent, to
families with incomes under
$4,000, and 1904 mortgages, or
some 40 per cent, to families
with incomes over $4,000.
Fifty-six per cent of the
mortgage loans included in the
total, or 1,484. were for homes
costing between $4,000 and
$11,0O
| Mr.. Haines also revealed
that the borrowers included
410 persons who qualified for
VHMCP aid as members of mi
|nority groups, while the bal
ance of the 1858 were eligible
by reason of being in a rural
area where funds for mort
cages were unavailable.
The 1868 loans placed by
the Region ~ Office totaled
$24,716,400.
