selves have set"
Another highlight of today's
hearing before the Senate hous-
ing subcommittee was the tes-
timony of Charles A. Wellman,
Of the National League of In
Sured Savings Associations,
that for the next few years the
private housing sector will not
make the same contribution to
economic recovery that it did
after other recent recessions.
Slow Response Seen
Mr.. Wellman predicted the
private housing sector is not
likely to respond favorably dur
ing the next four years to re-
ductions in interest rates and
down payments, or to a length
ening of mortgages on the scale
experienced in the postwar
years.
He said the present age dis
tribution of the population has
a dampening effect on the rate
Of increase'in family formation
and will continue to have until
the second half of the SOS.
Mr.. Wellman agreed that for
these reasons a new approach
to Federal housing legislation is
necessary and called the main
features of President Kennedy's
program a step in the right di-
rection.
But he took sharp exception
to what he described as an in
direct method of financing the
proposed new 40-year mort
cages with no down payments

Sornoff Urges
AU. N. Channel
In N Satellite

DETROIT. April S (SpeciaD t.
David Sarnoff, chairman Of
the board Of the Radio Corp. of
America. proposed here today.
that the United States allocate
q channel to the United Nations
in its first television satellite.
In an address prepared for an
academic convocation at the
University Of Detroit, Mr..
Sarnoff said that if the United
Nations uses the channel to
broadcast its deliberations to
the world, Freedom might fol-
low in the wake of televiSion."
Such q channel could help
teach Africans about the pur-
poses of the United Nations, he
said.
The broadcasts, he added,
could bring the views of the
"open world" to those in the
CLOSED world" There would
be great public pressure on
Communist leaders to accept
and rebroadcast signals from
the satellite, the general said.
Mr.. Sarnoff said global satel-
lite television could also be used
for face-to-face conferences be-
tween heads Of state-without
their leaving their capitals.
When closed sessions are de-
sired, the television transmits
sions could be scrambled and
decoded by special equipment
at each capital, using the same
security techniques now widely
employed in military and some
commercial communications, "
Mr.. Sarnoff said.

to finance homes of between
$4,000 and SIS, 900, and to build
cooperative or rental housing.
The indirect financing to
which he objected would consist
of having FILA insure these
long-term mortgages, even
though another Government
agency, the Federal National
Mortgage Association, would be
buying them.

The dam is the fourth flood re-
tarding structure to be built in
the Herald area. Two dams have
been completed in Charlotte
county's Roanoke Creek Water
shed and a third is well on the
way to completion there. Bids on
two more dams in Charlotte coun-
ty were awarded last week. both
of them to Moore, Kelly and
Reddish, of Orange. At first,
Shoosmith Brothers, Of Chester,
had submitted the apparent low
on one of the dams. A check by
the state officials however. de-
tected an error in his calcula-
tons, and the work was awarded
to the Orange firm.
Watershed projects such as the
ones under construction in the
area are designed to provide the
best possible use of soil and water
on each farm in the area through
a conservation program tied to
the erection of Misunderstanding
structures.
The dams will impound and
control excess water to pro
tect land below them from flood
ing. Provision is also made to
release water when necessary
