Columbia River
Treaty Signed
With Canada
BY the Associated Press


President Eisenhower and
Canadian Prime Minister DEF
enbaker today signed a treaty
for joint United States-Cana-
dian development of the Co.
lumbia River resources. They
hailed it as a milestone in
international relations.
The pact is to run for at least
so years and contemplates bill
lions Of dollars Of construction.
Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr..
Diefenbaker signed the pact
In a colorful White House
ceremony.
Beaming as he affixed his
signature. the President said,
cit is indeed a great personal
qualification for me to be
able to sign this treaty in the
last few days" Of his White
House tenure.
Mr.. Diefenbaker told the
President, "the relationship be-
tween our two countries is a
model for all mankind"
Some Opposition Seen
The ceremony was attended
by q host Of Representatives OF
the two governments and sew
eral Senators.
Democratic Senate Leader
Mansfield. said he hoped the
treaty would receive Senate &C
ton in a month or two. He
| expressed confidence it would
be ratified.
Senator Aiken Of Vermont
ranking Republican member
of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, said, II suspect there
might be some opposition tt
the treaty but don't believe il
will be effective"
The treaty is a elimination
Of some 10 years of work
toward reaching an agreement
that would apportion the bene-
fits and costs of Columbia
Basin development equitably
and satisfactorily.
Under the treaty. the United
States has the option to build
Libby Dam on the Kootenai
River in Northern Montana
within five years after ratifi-
cation. Libby was authorized
by Congress in 1850.
1t would back water 42 miles
into Canada, and the treaty
provides that Canada acquire
the lands needed for this. Each
nation would retain all benefits
in its own territory which &C.
crue from Libby.
Canada to Build Dams
Canada would build three
dams on it's side Of the bor-
der providing more than Is
million acre-feet of storage.
The three projects would be at
Arrow Lake, Mica Creek and
lnuncan Lake
They would be built at
Canadian expense, but the
United States would pay for
flood control benefits as the
structures are completed.
Elmer F. Bennett, Under
secretary Of Interior. a member
of the United States negotiat-
ling team, said 1t would cost
some $7l0 million for the
United States to provide similar
water storage in the next 10
years. Under the treaty, in
cluding 1922 million for the
cost Of Libby Dam, the total
expense will add up to $453
million In 10 years for such
storage.
Canada's cost for its develop
ment Is set at $402 million.

have opposed low-income pub
lie housing.
Yet one Of the surprises Of
the debate over the new act
was that public attention never
focused on the proposal for
publicly owned housing for
moderate Income families.
Instead, controversy ragged
over the provision for 40-year
mortgages, and bypassed the
ideologically far-more drastic
departure embodied in the pro-
posal for public sponsorship Of
moderate-income rental units.
Pay-On Period
These projects would be
owned by Government agencies
and would be financed with
Government-purchased mort
cages having the possibility Of q
payroll period in excess Of 40
years and "below-the-market"
interest rates as low as 81 per
cent-or even lower.
This type Of housing for
moderate-income families could
be built by urban renewal
agencies or other public agen-
cies set up for the purpose. It
could not be built by q public
housing authority unless an
authority also acts In another
capacity.
In Washington, for example
the National Capital Housing
Authority could not build mod
crate income housing.
But if the Redevelopment
Land Agency and NCHA are
combined, as proposed in pend
ing legislation, the new agency
could, so far as the 1861 hous-
ing act is concerned, go ahead
with construction Of Govern
ment-owned rental projects fol-
both low-income and mod
crate income tenants.
Behind the quietly success
full drive for the moderate-in-
come provisions was the admin
istration's belief that many
families ineligible for public
housing still do not have an
income sufficient to buy OF
rent new housing now coming
onto the market.
One explanation for a lack
of active builder opposition to
this new step was that many
builders likewise were willing
to acknowledge the plight Of

S. Increase by 50 billion the

to q total Of $3.50 million.
8. Provide $50 million for

With this legislation, Ma

Robert c. Weaver recently said,

is considered of at least equal

During much of the EiSen-

remain unanswered for many
months to come.
Some industry sources sus-
pect that If President Kennedy
wants to get a for sale program
of moderate-income houses
moving he'll have to authorize
purchase of mortgages by the
Government.
The new bill sets up a wide
ranging array of Federal aids
not only for private and public
housing Of many types, but fol
urban renewal, home improve
ment and rehabilitation. city
planning, community facilities
urban mass transportation
open-Space land for parks anC
recreation areas and for a mis-.
cellany Of other programs.
Among the acts many far
reaching schemes, by far the
most fundamental departure
from the past is probably the
least known.
This is the provision allow,

housing for rental to "moder.
ate income" families. Public
housing authorities now car

families.

such families. They also pointed
out, one builder spokesman ex-
planned, that such projects
would result in construction
Jobs for private firms, and
might ward off more drastic
proposals for middle-income
housing aids.
While the moderate-income
scheme provides the most sig
Inificant change in congressional
housing policy, other new pro-
grams and liberalizations of
existing ones are also spec
tacular.
To encourage purchase, repair
and construction of moderate
income, single-family for-sale
housing, the act allows FILA to
insure mortgages up to SIS, 900
in high-cost areas such as
Washington, with 3 per cent as
a cash down payment. Closing
costs can be included in the
mortgage.
Possibility Of Extension
Such m ortgages on new
houses would have q maximum
pay-off period Of IS years. This
pay-off term could be extended
to 40 years If the purchasers
income Is so low that he could
not afford monthly payments
on a 35-year basis. In the case
| of existing houses, the maxi
mum mortgage term would be
80 years.
For persons displaced from
urban renewal project areas, a
similar program is even more
generous, providing 40-year
mortgages, a 5000 downpay-
ment per unit, and a range
| of from / to 4 family structures.
The Federal National Mort
gage Association is authorized
to provide financing support
for displacee housing Of this
type. But special authorization
by the President would be re-
quired before the agency could
do so for moderate-income
for-sale units for other than
displacees.
Without FNMA support, 1t is
considered doubtful by most
builders that lenders would be
willing to provide such 35-year
or 40-year mortgage loans.
AS for rental housing for
moderate-income families, the
act provides that it can he
provided for both displaced
persons and others by public
agencies" as well as by a private
non-profit corporation or asso-
citation, a limited dividend cor
poration, or q cooperative.
Limit on Costs
A paradoxical situation Gre
ated by the act is that rental
housing Of this type for mod
te-income" families has &
cost limitation, whereas public
housing for 'low-income" fam
lilies has no such limitation.
The cost per unit of Wash
ington low-income public hous-
ing has been climbing in recent
years, as construction costs
have risen, and now ranges
between $4,000 and $4,000
per unit.

Weaver Appointed
To Key Labor Post
Bya Star staff Writer

HYANNIS PORT, Mass, July
S.-President Kennedy today
announced the appointment Of
George L. P. Weaver, a veteran
union official, as Assistant
Secretary of Labor for Inter-
national Affairs.
Mr.. Weaver succeeds George
Cabot Lodge, son of the 1860
Republican vice presidential
nominee, Henry Cabot Lodge.
IN the $20,000-a-year post. 1t
requires Senate confirmation.
Mr.. Weaver has been serving
as Q special assistant to Secre-
tary Of Labor Goldberg since
January. Mr.. Lodge was per-
mitted to remain in the post
through June so he could COM
plete his term of office as an
official Of the International
Labor Organization.
Union Official
MIR. Weaver has been identi-
fled as the Presidents choice
to succeed Mr.. Lodge for many
months.
The appointee, 49, is a native
Of Pittsburgh and a former
student at Howard University
law school. From 1852 through
1888 he was director of the
civil rights committee Of the
CIO and the merged AFL-CIO.
In 1858, he became assistant to
the president Of the Interna-
tionAl Union of Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers,
directing its political education
program.
Mr.. Weaver undertook sew
eral special assignments for the
Government and the Interna-
tional Confederation Of Free
Trade Unions during this
period and attended the 1857
and 1858 conventions of the
International Labor Organiza-
ton.
He is a longtime friend of

was S17,50o per unit. But this
ceiling recently has been elimi-
mated.
Under the new acts provi-
sions, many families with a
higher income than those enti-
tied to public housing could
expect to live in housing built
for less cost than that provided
for low-income families in
public housing.
The moderate-income mort
gage limit per unit is $1,000 in
elevator buildings where the
number of rooms average less
than 4 per unit. Where the
number of rooms average more
than 4 per unit, the maximum
mortgage amount is $3.50 per
| person in non-elevator build
ings, and $3.50 in elevator
buildings, for high-cost areas
such as Washington.
FHA Terms LiberaIized
In addition to setting up the
new programs for moderate
income housing. the act liber-
alizes existing FILA terms.
The maximum mortgage
amount on for-sale housing
is raised from $22,5 to $25,-
900. The pay-off period is In
creased from 80 years to IS
years for new houses, but for
existing houses the 30-year
term is left unchanged.
Down payments are reduced
to 8 per cent of the first $15,-
600 of the homes appraised
value, 10 per cent of the ap-
praised value between $4,000
and $4,000, and 25 per cent of
the value above $4,000.
Formerly, they stood at 3 per
cent of the first $13,500 of val
ue, 10 per cent on the amount
between $13,500 and $4,000,
and 80 per cent of the amount
above $4,000.
AS an incentive to builders,
the new act permits individu-
ais. groups Of individuals or
partnerships to undertake reg
ular rental projects, rather
than only corporations. Tax ad-
vantages exist in the new ar
rangement, FHA officials ex-
planned last night.
Another industry incentive
is provision allowing FHA to
pay some mortgage lenders in
Evening star., 1961-07-09

cash in the event of mortgage
defaults.
Previously, lenders were
obliged to accept debentures If a
home was foreclosed. Those
gave them a rate Of return
less than that Of the mortgage
loan.
Broader Repair Rules
Another much discussed pro-
gram whose practical operation
remains to be worked out is set
up under vastly broadened
home repair and rehabilitation
provisions.
Insured FILA rehabilitation
loans up to $4,000, having a
maximum pay-off period Of 20
years, are authorized to be
made with adequate security"
other than the property itself.
They are, thus, not mortgage
loans at all.
But such loans are limited to
an amount, FILA explains,
which, when added to any
| Outstanding Indebtedness
against the property being i'm
proved would keep the total
indebtedness against the prop
erty within the amount Of q
mortgage that can be insured
by FILA"
A maximum interest rate Of
6 per cent on such loans is
permitted. Z
| Loans of this type are to be
made available for improve
ments to multi-family housing
only if-the property Is located
within an urban renewal area.
Other Points Of Law
