Your contractor, of course,

he can arrange an FHA- in

you the how of it. The how
is simple. He simply arranges
for a "middleman" to apply
for the loan for you. For that
service, the "middleman" gets
at least 10 per cent. Your home

The State road-building pro-
gram for the nearby area for
the next five years is all filled
up, and the Route 240 con-
nection is not on the list.
Mr.. Funk's statements were
made at a meeting with
members of I the Montgomery
County Council and the Mary
land d-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, the
suburban Maryland planning
agency.
Federal, District, State and
nearby planners have argued
the location of the Route 240
connection (also known as In
terstate Route 70-s) for years.
The controversy now is over
whether to run it down the So
called Wisconsin avenue cor
ridor into the District or route
it through Silver Spring via the
Capital beltway.
Problem Of Priority
ITO say that we would not
need both would be foolish ~
Mr.. Funk said. He saw the
problem as one of establishing
a priority and protecting the
rights of way from business OF
home development.
The meeting was sought BY
the county council to get in
formation on which the county
governing body could take q
stand in the routing contro.
versy. The council also plan!
to talk with Federal highway
officials before making its de.
cision.
! Mr.. Funk takes the position
that a route through Silvel
Spring would benefit more peo'
pie than one through the Wis.
consin avenue corridor. How
ever, the Federal Bureau o
Public Roads has said the linl
must be in the Wisconsin ave
nue. area.
The suburban Maryland
planning commission has re
jected the Wisconsin avenu,
corridor but has not taken al
affirmative stand on the Silve,
Spring location. District high
way officials have favored tn,
Silver Spring location.
80 Per Cent Federal Funds
But Bertram D. Tallamy
head of the Federal Bureau O.
Public Roads, said that tn,
) Wisconsin avenue corridor i
the shortest route and it there
fore must be used. The con
nection is to be built under tn
, interstate program in which
the Federal Government pay
80 per cent of the cost and tn
! State 10 per cent.

Mr.. Funk and members of
the planning agency agreed to
a jointly financed engineering
study to determine if the Sill

Cost Factor Discounted
The highway director said he
doesn't believe the variation in
cost of the two routes is enough
to be a factor in the decision
Mr.. Funk said he will meet
with Federal highway officials
next Tuesday and ask them
what facts would be necessary
to change their minds on the
routing. He said there have
been indications that Mr.; Tai
lamy might consider reopenins

Presidents S Action
Awaited on Sewer
Senote Adopts
House Bill for
Airport Facility
By JAMES G. DEANE
Star Staff Writel


A presidential signature is
all that is needed to authorize
the administration proposed
$28 million trunk sewer to serve
the Dulles Airport.
The Senate yesterday speeded
congressional action by ap-
proving a HouSe-paSseo meas
ure for the sewer project with
out debate. .
Chairman Bible, Democrat
of Nevada, of the Senate Dis
trict Committee called the &C
ton significant forward step
in meeting regional problems.
A SO million grant and SIS
million loan from the Treasury
are authorized for the trunk
sewer line, which is to connect
the new airport and. the Dis
trict's Blue Plains treatment
plant.
Chief purpose is to avert
pollution of the Districts Po-
tomac River water supply by
sewage from the airfield and
the new developments expected
in its vicinity.
Route Under Dispute
The exact route Of the pipe
line, under dispute. has not yet
been decided by the District,
which is charged under legis-
lation with responsibility for
construction.
The Senate yesterday also
approved a House-passed meas
ure authorizing a new legal aid
agency to provide assistance to
defendants in District courts
unable to afford their own
attorneys.
A Sic, ,000-a-year administra-
tor and a budget of up to
$4,000 for the first year are
provided in the bill, which now
returns to the House for con-
sideration of several Senate
amendments.
INDECENT defendants have
been able to obtain only vol
unteer assistance from lawyers.
Chief Judge E. Barrett Pretty
man of the U. S. Court of
Appeals for the District was
cited by the committee for his
leadership in developing the
new agency plan to improve
on what the committee called
a chaotic situation.
Other Measures Approved
Also approved by the Senate
yesterday were District bills to-:
Extend from two to three
years the time for asking re-
funds of overpayments on in
heritance and estate taxes.
Exempt alien employees of the
Organization of American
States, Pan American health
organization, and United Ma
tions from the District income
tax.
Exempt the District from
paying various local court fees.
Increase driver learners per-
NIT fee from 81 to So. -
Widen the Jurisdiction of the
Municipal Court Small Claims
Branch from $50 to $3.50.
Increase to 80 days the 10
day maximum sentence for
traffic violatorS.
Amend the life insurance
statute to liberalize group life
insurance requirements, revamp
handling of valuable annuities
and update mortality tables.
Permit certain fire and cas-
ualty insurance firms to be
considered as stock companies.

ers with warnings that they
have to fix up their homes
quickly or lose them, and get a
sheaf of papers signed before
they move on.
To block these operations,
the Districts Housing Division
has sent out warnings to home
owners to get several estimates,
to refrain from signing papers
they don't fully understand and
to keep from contracting for
financial arrangements they
cannot afford. Sometimes the
warnings come too late.
For these homeowners, a
well-protected lending program
recently has been set up in
which IL local savings aSso-
Citations have joined. A fund of
$1,820,0 900 has been established
to be used exclusively to COM
bine one or two trusts on a
property and advance addi-
tional money to bring the
homes up to the minimum
standards required by the hous-
ing code.
The sharp operators don't
limit themselves to the most
rundown sections of town
They know that there are
other sections where the houses
are old, the homeownerS have
paid off most of their indebted
ness and are ready to do some
undermining work. They are
natural targets for the second
trust peddlers, although they
could easily arrange less ex-
pensive financing.
HomeownerS like this, who
have put all their ready cash
for years into reducing the first
mortgage or trust on their
homes, are now threatened from
another source. Investigators
in another East Coast city,
where a home improvement
firm got into trouble for trick
ing customers into signing
mortgages on their homes with
out knowing it, report that Of
ficials of this firm now have
set up Offices over the District
line.
The racket in selling second
trusts to pay for Work that
doesn't get done is not the only
way the homeowner can get
gypped in financing home re-
pairs.
You may have to pay an
extra 10 per cent above the
usual interest charges to f.
nance your home improvements
