leSsened BY the furore over a
Texas groups tying support Of
the measure to q Republican
Embarrassing dinner.
Texas Republicans raise d
100000 Monday night through
a $100-a-plate dinner in Hous-
ton. advertised as an apprecia-
ton dinner for House Republic
can Leader Martin, Massachu-
sets.
H. J. Porter, Texas Republic
can national committeeman,
urged contributors to purchase
tickets because, he said in q
letter, Mr.. Martin had helped
to pass a natural gas bill in
1855 and would need to muster
support of IS per cent of the
G. o. P. members to pass the
bill this year.
Connection DisavOwed
Both the White House and
the Republican National Com
mittee disavowed any connec-
ton with the appeal and the
national committee said it
would accept none of the
money. Mr.. Porter and other
Texas party officials said they
did not know what would be
done with the proceeds.
Mr.. Martin said he also
knew nothing in advance about
the gas bills connection with
the dinner, which he said he
considered "just another one
of those Republican fund.-
raising dinners.
Paul M. Butler, Democratic
national chairman. said in q
statement that Mr.. Martins
name was used to give pres
tige and authority to the
shoddy exercise in mass brib-
cry. :" He described it as
shocking.
The gas measure would re-
move producers from direct
control of the Federal Power
Commission, but would con-
tinue FPC regulation over in
ter-State pipelines. 1t is gen.
orally favored in gas-producing
areas. but opposed by many
major consuming areas, includ-
ing many large cities.
Bill viii Be Called Up
While most supporters and
critics Of the measure thought
the current publicity would kill
it, House Speaker Sam Ray
burn, Democrat of Texas, said

2 to 10 Years in
Clinton School Plot

CLINTON, Tenn, Feb. IL up.
"A jury of IL fathers last night
convicted Edward Cline, A
year-old former convict, of con-
spring to dynamite racially in
tegrated Clinton High School.
Criminal Court Judge D. l..
Hutson Immediately passed
sentence of from 2 to 10 years
in prison as recommended by
the jury.
Clifford Lowe. 20, on trial
with Cline, was acquitted. The
jury deliberated more than six
hours.
The State earlier had dropped
charges against Avon Nolan, 10,
in the same case so he could
testify for the prosecution.
All three originally had been
charged with conspiracy to
dynamite a public building and
with illegal possession Of dyna-
mite.
The charges stemmed from
discovery of two sacks of dyna-
mite on the banks of the Clinch
River near here September 20.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-12

the bill will be called up in the
House late this month.
Mr.. Martin said he is still for
the gas bill and will support II
when 1t comes to the floor.
Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat of Minnesota, predicted
the bill will be defeated.

ures are needed, I assure you
they will be proposed-and in
time. For example, for some
time now the administration

and comprehensive planning
for expansion and moderniza-

ings. all of these useful public
projects to be taken of the
shelf when they could most
appropriately be undertaken.
Yesterday / directed the Post
master Geenral to present to
the Congress a 50 billion pro-
gram for modernization during
the next three-five years of
post Office buildings and equip
ment throughout the country.
In all these matters Of Gov
eminent policy it is well to
remember that with an econ
omy as complex as ours, it Is
necessary not only to avoid the
taking of wrong steps but con-
fidently take the right ones.

a period Of five years Of 500
million.
8. ExpOrt-ImpOrt Bank. 1t is
estimated that credits extended
by the Export Import Bank
will finance $625 million of
shipments abroad in the first
half of the calender year 1858.
A substantial proportion of
these shipments will be ma
chinery and equipment.
Exports financed by Export
Import Bank credits will rise
further in the second half Of
the calender year. To assure
continuity in the banks lend
ing operations, the President
has requested that the Con-
gress increase the Export
Import Banks lending author
ity by 50 billion. Prompt action
by the Congress on this request
would make it possible to ac-
celerate the banks lending
activities, with direct benefits
to employment in many COM
munities.
Credit Policy

been taken by the Federal Re-
serve authorities to increase
the availability of credit and to
reduce its cost to borrowers.
The reserve position Of men,
Der banks of the Federal Re
serve System has been appre-
ciably improved.
The discount rate was re-
duced from 312 to 3 per cent in
November, 1857. and has re-

Banks to ga per cent.
The increased availability

will help promote a higher level
of home building and of con-
struction generally. They will
also make it easier, and less
expensive, for State and local
governments to move forward
with the construction of needed
public facilities.

/. Housing. New housing
units are currently being
started at the rate Of nearly
million per year. An increase
in this rate is justified in terms
of housing needs and would
have a widely beneficial effect
on the economy. Direct employ
ment. would increase in thou
sands of communities, and
many industries, such as lum-
Der, furniture, home equipment
and appliances, would be in
directly benefited.
The Federal Government has
taken a number of steps, going
back over a period Of months,
to help promote an increase in
home construction.
In August, 1857, a sharply
liberalized schedule of mini
mum required down payments
was put into effect for FHA-
insured home loans. On a
$4,000 house, for example, the
minimum required down pay
ment was reduced from $1,000
to $500.
In January, 1858, the rule
requiring that closing costs be
paid in cash was rescinded.
This reduced further the cash
investment required by. a home
buyer when purchasing a home
under an FHA-insured mort
gage.
The President has ordered
the release of an additional
$l77 million of funds for mill
tary housing, and for building
under other federally supported
programs.
Congress Action Urged
Prompt action by the Con-
greSs on several matters al
ready before it would help to
promote a higher level Of home
construction.
The Congress should act
promptly on the request of the
Federal Hosing Administration
for a supplemental authorize
ton which would permit FILA
to accelerate the processing of
home loan insurance applica-
tions.
The interest rate limitation
on CT home loans should be
eliminated, to permit veterans
Of World War II to enjoy their
benefits under this program.
The Congress should also re-
move interest rate limitation
on FHA-insured loans for
rental projects, cooperative
housing, and Capehart military
housing.
Congress should also in
crease the size of loan that can
be insured by FILA, as recon-
mended in the Presidents eco
nomic report, and should
promptly increase FHA's insur-
ance authorization.
