Down Payments On Homes Cut, Interest Hiked / Forecast Possible Low-Cost Housing Boom For Nation WASHINGTON (UP) — Housing 1 industry officials today forecast a < possible Idw-cost housing boom if i lenders accept the new low federal ; floor on down payments. At the same time, the Federal Housing Administration faced a i full congressional investigation be- i cause of the boost in mortgage i interest rates that accompanied the down payment cuts. i The Eisenhower administration < Monday authorized a 25 to 57 per I cent reduction in minimum re- i quired down payments and a Vt 1 per cent boost in interest rates on government-insured FHA loans. 1 The move aimed at putting new 1 life in the lagging housing indus- 1 try. The new regulations mean that 1 for the first time in history a man 1 can buy a $14,000 home with a down payment as small as S9OO ] under the FHA program. Monday i he would have had to put down ; at least $1,700. ' > But there are two possible 1 hitches: 1 —The man has, to find a lender 1 willing to pass out mortgage i money on the new low down pay- ! ment terms. —lnterests rates probably will be higher now on the mortgage re- i gardless of the down payment re- 1 quired. ( Industry officials said the new 1 regulations probably will not mean 1 any building upsurge this year be- < cause of the time lag in setting ' up' housing projects. However, they said if the regu- t lations bring out more mortgage money into the market a low-cost housing boom is possible. George S. Goodyear, National Association of Home Builders president, said the reduced down payments “could be the most signicant step forward the FHA has made since its establishment in 1934.” Howe ver, Chairman Albert Rains (D-Ala.) of the House Banking subcommittee on housing legislation said Congress “must restudy the whole FHA program” because of the boost in interest rates from 5 '■ to 5% per cent. I Rains said Congress may have to enact legislation “to stop the present administration's mania for continually raising interest rates.” Under the new regulations, which are effective immediately, the down payment schedule is 3 per cent of the first SIO,OOO of the mortgage; 15 per cent of the next $6,000 and 30 per cent on anything over that up to a limit of $20,000. The old requirement was 5 per cent on the first $9,000 and 25 per cent on anything above that up to a ceiling of $20,000. Teen-Ager Killed As Train Smashes Auto HAMMOND (UP) — Arline Sabota, 17, Munster, was killed Monday when a Nickel Plate Railroad train struck an automobile in which she was riding with her father. The father, Anthony, 45, jumped to safety an instant before the train struck the car. Two Petitions Filed To Delay Execution FORT WAYNE (IPI — T w o petitions were filed Monday seeking to delay the Sept. 27 execution date of convicted murderer Richard E. Kiefer, 36, Fort Wayne. One of the petitions asked Allen Circuit Court for a delay of 100 days and a new trial. The other asked the Indiana Supreme Court for a 90-day stay pending appeal of Kiefer's conviction. Kiefer, a truck mechanic, was convicted May 24 for the Jan. 15 r slaying of his wife, Pearl, 35. He also faces another first - degree murder indictment for the murder of his daughter, Dorothy, 5.

House Mover Gives * Testimony To Jury Jury Investigating Highway Scandals INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Maryin Preble, an Austin house moving contractor accused of receiving $8,850 for work he did not do, testified today before a Marion County grand jury investigating the Indiana highway scandals. While Preble was closeted with the jury in a lengthy session, his wife told newsmen her husband thought the check he received from the highway department last April 1 was for a moving job near Fort Wayne rather than a job which never was completed on the Madison Avenue Expressway route at Indianapolis.' Mrs. Preble, who also was to appear before the jury, also told of her husband being solicited by two highway right-of-way buyers for funds which she said she took to be "political contributions.’’ Mrs. Preble said Preble gave the two buyers SSOO in cash and later checked with the Scott County Republican organization and was told there was no record of the contribution being turned in to the organization. She said a former highway department employe whom she named, telephoned her husband and later gave him an outdated check for $8,850. Preble changed the check at the Statehouse for a new one and cashed it. Mrs. Preble said he thought it was for moving a house for Paul Schroeder from U.S. 27 near Fort Wayne to a place near Decatur. Other witnesses included Russell N. Freeman, Montpelier, a former right-of -way buyer, who declined to talk with newsmen before or after his jury appearance; Mrs. Anne. Cain, Indianapolis, owner of the Madison Ave. house which Preble didn’t move; and Shirley Zimmerman, a cashier in the state treasurer's office. d&jOSMTAI | o*l Ml Dismissed Mrs. Howard Ellenberger and son, Berne.

Strike Blacks Out Television Program SB Engineers Walk Out On Welk's Program CHICAGO (IP) — A surprise walkout of 800 television engineers in four major cities Monday night left affable bandleader Lawrence Welk squeezing his accordion before idle cameras. The strike blacked out the American Broadcasting Co.’s Chicago outlet, station WBKB, and stations in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. Supervisory personnel moved .into the gap left by the walkout of members of the National Association of Broadeasting Engineers and Technicians and restored operations in an hour. An ABC spokesman in Hollywood, where the Welk show originates, said the strike resulted from a dispute between the union and Philadelphia radio station WFIL, an ABC affiliate. In Chicago, George W, Smith, international president of the union, charged WBKB with “transferring work out of the bargaining unit to an affiliate station.’* Station Vice President Sterling C. Quinlan said technicians returned to work later in the evening upon arriving at a settlement in New York.

A Hollywood spokesman f o x . ABC said the Welk organization had rehearsed almost until show time pending a decision in the labor dispute. When the show failed to get on the air because there were no technicians available, Welk staged an impromptu musical entertainment program for more than 400 persons who were , on hand to see the "live” tele- ’ cast. , If you have something to sell ot rooms for rent, try a Democrat ; Want Ad. it brings results. » y
