Continental
Retoins
Style

The Ford Motor Company's
Continental, regarded by the
Ipurists as the all-time American
classic. retains its design endur-
ance this year with an added
attraction.
New in the Continental line
since it was revived last year
with the Mark II is the CONVEX
tible cabriolet, highly reminis-
cent of the Mark soft-tops dis
continued in 1948.
Ben D. Mills. vice president of
Ford and general manager of
the Lincoln Division, puts it this
way: The modern formal styling
|of the present Continental was
designed to be different enough
in concept and advanced enough
in execution to last for several
years without any loss of dis
Effectiveness or appeal"
Continental for 1857 offers the
same basic design with a num-
Der of engineering refinements.
These include a higher COM
preston ratio of 10 to /, the use
of a new and stronger steel
torque converter.
AS in the past, Continental
does not discuss horsepower.

Car Probe
Helped Ease
Dealer Woes
BY the Associated Press

Detroit manufacturers and the
Nations auto dealers are living
In somewhat better harmony as
q result of action taken by the
producers during and following
a series of congressional In
quiries last spring.
Legislation adopted in Con-
gress and signed into law gives
a dealer the right to what some
call his day in court"-he can
go into court and sue the manu-
facturer if his franchise is sus-
pended or cancelled.
But probably even more i'm
portant is the action taken by
all the car makers to enable the
retailers quickly to get a hear
ing from the manufacturer on
any complaint that he is being
forced to handle more cars than
his market area will absorb-or
that he feels he otherwise is
being Disseminated against.
Makers Absorb Service Cost
Each of the car makers estab-
lished a department, headed by
a top executive. to handle these
complaints. General Motors did
it during the congressional COM
mittee hearings preliminary to
passage of the dealers day in
court" bill.
To ease tension further, the
car makers took over financial
responsibility for all warranty
service work. cost of which pre-
viously was absorbed by the re-
taller. This is the work covered
by a new car guaranty.
The dealers major complaint
last spring was that they were
being forced to accept more cars
than they could sell. This, they
claimed. forced them into price
competition with their fellow
retailers and pushed many of
them into what they termed a
'profitleSs prosperity"
Big Inventory Piled Up
They said they attained sales
volume but only because they
slashed prices, made exorbitant
allowances on trade-ins, and
otherwise reduced their estab-
lished profit levels.
Whether the dealers were
right or wrong in their COM
plants. the production pace that
brought 100000 cars from the
assembly lines in 1855 piled up
the biggest dealer inventory in
car industry history.

ullucI way.
From origination of the theme
OF The Wonder Show" (the
first step 10 arrangements for
cleanup squads. putting the
auto show together is a BUSH
ness of thinking of everything.
In the middle of it all is show
manager Maurice j. Nike
Murphy, executive vice president
of the Automotive Trade Asso-
citation of the National Capital
Area. which puts on the spraw-
ling display each year.
Mr.. Murphy likens his role to
that of host at huge cocktail
party.
You race around madly trying
to think of everything until the
last minute. then suddenly every
things done and you Just pace
and hope someone will show up"
Five Man Committee
With the help of a flve-man
committee and a charmed bat
tered green hat which has the
blessing of the Irish Ambassador.
Mr.. Murphy has the job to see
that the whole thing comes of.
Representatives of local auto
dealers working with Mr.. Muir
pny on the 1857 show are Neil
E. O'Brien. president Of O'Brien
g. Rohall, Inc. committee chair
man; Ernest r. Eaton. jr., vice
president of Caithness Buick,
Inc, l. j. Hook, general man
ager of the American Service
Center; Lionel Kaplan. president
of Kaplan & Crawford, and
Norman F. Wearne, general
manager of Phelps-Roberts Corp.
Their main job was to see that
when everything was ready to
go, the Armory was indeed host
to an auto show-not a carnival
midway filled with the din of
barkers selling their wares, nor
a sea of elaborate display set
tings which overshadow the
product.
Before the cars and exhibits |
were moved into the Armory on |
a precision schedule, space allot-
mentS had to be made. tele- |
phones installed, electrical out |
lets put in. The vast Armory, |
SO feet high, had to be decorated. |
Big Name Entertainers
For the added attractions, the
big name entertainers - Helen I
O'Connell, Jhonny Desmond and
Peggy King - had to be con-
tracted for, give-away cars pro-
cured.

queen, so there was a prelimi-
nary contest to be run.
Once all these details were
taken care Of. there was the
question Of letting Washington
know the auto show was in town.
More work. this time in adver-
tising and publicity.
Hat Is Final Effort
The hat is Mike Murphy's final
effort to make the show a sue
cess. The hat is to bring good
weather. for with sunny skies
come the crowds.
I'm really not the least bit
Mr.. Murphy says.
TITS just that my boys like me
to wear it."
The famed hat. which comes
out each year Just for the show,
carries on a family tradition.
j. Murphy, Mikes IA
Their, who put on his first auto
show here in 1919 and later ran
them in his job as manager of
the Alta, had a similar lucky
chapeau.
When Mike took over the an
nual show in 1852, it poured
rain on the opening day. he re-
so. I got a hat. and
so help me the sun came out.
1.-THE next year the Weather
Bureau predicted six inches of
snow for the opener. 1 put on my
hat and the storm dumped six
inches Of snow on Hagerstown,
Md. instead. After that began
to think there might be some
thing to it" he says.
Last year, however, the hats
charm seemed to wear a little
thin. and bad snow storm kept
people away for a couple of days.
Now. with the blessing of the
Irish Ambassador, Mr.. Murphy
is hoping things will get back
on right track.

Other engineering changes for
the 1857 models include reloca-

limited supply Of money, the
rate at which it can be bor-
rowed rises. The demand for
new homes has been so great
In the years since World War II
ended that Il has put a strain
on the supply Of money avail
able to finance homes.
At the same time, our coun-
try has been more prosperous
than ever before in its his
tory Business, manufacturing
industries Of all kinds have
needed new buildings, equip
ment and materials to meet
the demand for their products.
Money has been needed for all
this expansion.
The Federal Housing Admin
istration has q responsibility to
help the home buyer to finance
his home at reasonable cost.
The FILA. therefore. places q
ceiling on the interest rate that
may be charged Pn an insured
mortgage.
Terms Up to 80 Years
Home mortgages insured by
the FILA can have terms as
long as 80 years. A long-term
interest rate like ours cannot
vary from day to day as rates
on short-term loans do. The
allowable FILA mortgage inter-
est rate is adjusted when OBJ

return to the lender on the
transaction Is reduced.
Congress Concerned
Congress has been concerned
about the discount situation
and at one time tried to pro-
hibit the charging Of discounts
altogether. That didn't work
out,
The Housing Act of i957
signed by the President on July
IL of this year. directed the
FILA to FIX reasonable limits
on the charges, fees and dis.
counts imposed upon the build.
Ter, seller or purchaser" in the
financing Of the construction OF
sale Of any housing on which
the FILA insures q mortgage.
After the law was passed
the FILA made q very careful
study Of the whole situation
We came to the conclusion that
the best way to limit discounts
would be to get rid Of them en-.
tirely: but since we were un-
able to do that we undertook
to get rid Of them as nearly a
We could by adjusting the max
imum interest rate on insured
mortgages. We raised 1t to 81
per cent effective August 5
Then we determined what limi-
tations. in conjunction with the
new interest rate. should b.
placed on discounts.
FILA discount controls or
home mortgages apply only q
those mortgages bearing the
new 5A per cent interest rate
In making our determination
of maximum allowable dis
counts. we polled people in all
parts Of the country who were
in close touch with market
conditions. We reviewed re-
ports from our own FILA field
Offices concerning sales Of in
sured mortgages. On the basis
of the best available informa-
ton, we arrived at figures that

servation Of market conditions
makes It apparent that q rise
or fall in the general level OF
interest rates has been more OF
less stabilized. Over the last
year. there has been q steady
rise in the general interest-rate
level.
Last December. the FILA In
creased its maximum rate to
per cent. but even then money
continued to be in short supply
for insured mortgages,
If. at a particular time, lend
|ers can get higher rates on
loans for other purposes, they
will either decline to make
FHA-insured loans or will
make them at q discount.
A discount, therefore, is q
device to compensate the lend
er when he makes q home loan
at an interest rate lowxr than
he could get on some other type
of loan.
It works this way: A mort
gage company. for example,
may make a home mortgage
loan Of $4,000 ct 5 per cent
interest. with the intention Of
selling the mortgage to an In
surance company. The bor-
rover gets the $4,000 and spays
interest on that amount. But
the insurance company is not
willing to pay $4,000 for the
loan. It win buy it only at q 2
per cent discount. which means
it viii pay $4,000 for it instead
Of the fun price Of $40, 900. OBJ
viously. II you buy q mortgage
for $1,000 and collect interest
on $4,000 you are getting bet
ter than the 5 per cent interest
rate specified in the mortgage.
The difference between the
amount Of the mortgage and
the amount for which 1t can be
sold has to. besmade up some
where. The lender may collect
it from the seller Of the house,
or the builder. or may not col
lect it at all. In which case the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-09-21

we believed would take in most
Of the market.
The availability Of mortgage
money differs q great deal in
different parts Of the country.
Savings are the principal
source Of money for mortgage
loans. In some sections, people
seem to have q greater in
clination for saving, so in these
places money is more plentiful.
Some areas Of the country
are growing in population and
the demand for mortgage
money exceeds the rate Of saw
ings. In these areas, the rate
charged on mortgages tends to
be higher than in more fully
developed areas like the North
eastern States. for example.
For this reason, the maxi
mum discounts permitted on
FHA-insured mortgages vary IN
different parts Of the country.
They can also be expected to
change from time as market
conditions change.
In the District and Maryland.
the maximum discount rate at
present is Ia per cent-ih
points" as It Is often ex-
pressed. In Virginia the maxi
mum is 2 ner cent at present.
These are the highest allow
able rates; but at far as the
FLA Is concerned there is
nothing TO prevent the charg-
ing Of lower discounts or none
at all.
We expect, in fact, that lower
discounts viii be charged on
mortgages that are particularly
desirable because Of the prop
erty location or for other
reasons.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-09-21

brokers, people buying and
selling homes don't like them
Then why do we have them?
Inquiries ON the subject OF
discounts on FILA MORTGAGES
are coming daily to our field
ofhces throughout the country
and to Us 1t Washington head
quarters. ] am glad to have this
opportunity to explain the situ-
alton briefly.
As an example, we may get
q telephone cali from somebody
in the process Of selling q house
to . buyer who intends to
nnance through FLA. The
seller says he has been told he
must pay one-and- half
points, and he wants US to ten
him what that means.
Not Imposed BY FHA
j Let me emphasize at the very
beginning that these discount
points are not imposed BY FLA.
We would like nothing better
than 70 see them discontinued
altogether.
They have come into use in
FHA.insured home financing
transactions because Of condo
tons Of supply and demand in
the money market.
