Germ that the bill might shrink
up funds for VA home loans.
Mr.. Mills is chairman of the
powerful House Ways and
Means Committee, which held
three days of hearings last
month on the bill. The COM
mittee has not reached a de-
cision on the new proposals.
Would Cut Reserve
The bill would reduce the
present 121a per cent bad debt
reserve required of savings and
loan associations to an unde-
termined amount. Because
money going into this reserve
now is tax free, the bill in effect
would raise total taxes of the
institutions by an estimated
$315 million a year.
The VA official warned, 1.-The
impact of any change in the
tax treatment of mutual thrift
institutions should not be so
great as to significantly reduce
the savings inflow and mort
gage lending capabilities of
these institutions"
Savings and loan association
accounted for more than 81 per
cent of all VA home loans
closed in 1860, according to the
League. The dollar amount of
VA loans held by S g. L institu-
tions totaled s7.2 billion at the
end Of 1860.
