Solving AirIines' Jet Crisis
on SYLVIA PORTER

A short while ago the Com

that 90 per cent OF the Amer

In a commercial airliner.
This may seem an incredible
percentage. but as Gordon Gil

World Airlines, explained. that
THE fact Is that most air pas
sengers are constant repeaters,
The vastness OF the untapped
market for air travel is fan
tastic."
Tapping this market Is one
way the airlines can solve the
economic crisis building up as
they enter the Jet age.
The Jet age will begin within

On FHAAid
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star stan Writer

BEDFORD SPRINGS, Pa,
May 30.-Washington realtors,
in convention here, are on rec
ord today as urging quick ac-
ton by Congress permitting
Federal Housing Administration
to resume Federal aid to home
financing.
Delegates acted yesterday
after they learned the FHA's
program was threatened with
temporary paralysis because
the agency had reached the
limit of its mortgage insurance
authorization under the law.
FILA Commissioner Norman
P. Mason wired the agency's rs
regional Offices Wednesday re-
questing that they discontinue
at once issuing commitments to
insure home mortgages. ex-
planning this step was necessary
to stay within the dollar limit
imposed by law.
Now pending in Congress Is
a measure which would increase
the present authorized ceiling
of $27,5 billion, but 1t has not
yet been acted on.
Discussing their action, dele
gates to the fourth annual
convention of the Washington
Real Estate Board said that
even a temporary withdrawal
Of FILA from the mortgage in.
Isurance field at this time would
have serious repercussions"
against home construction
sales.
They added that paralysis Of
FILA activity would be most
inopportune in view Of pro-
nounced evidence now on hand
Of a spring pickup in the mar
ket."
Delegates also pointed out
that recent heavy demand for
FILA financing has been exert
ing a favorable influence on the
economy.
No appropriation is needed
for a resumption of FILA activ-
ity. since the agency doesn't
loan money for home buying
but merely insures mortgage
loans Of private lenders. An in
crease in the authorized total
amount that FILA can insure is
all that is sought by the pend
ing legislation supported by
yesterdays convention action.

Mr.. Watson added, This lack
