U, S. ACTS TO RESTORE HOME; LOAN BUSINESS House to Take Up Steagall Bill Increasing HOLC Funds Tomorrow. By Scripps-JJnmani Xcirspaper Alliance | WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—The Administration this week launches its major offensive to revive the $20,000,000,000 home mortgage credit business, stagnated by depression. The House tomorrow will take up the Steagall bill adding $1,500,000,000 to resources of the Home Owners’ Loan Corp. and amending existing statutes to attract new capital into private mortgage lending. J The objective of the program is I the government's retirement from direct lending to home owners as soon as acute distress has been alleviated and private institutions j can be counted on to resume normal , operations. The program swings on these i hinges: 1. Expansion of Federal Savings ; & Loan Associations by the addition ! of $200,000,000 which the Treasury : may subscribe to their capital. Near- ! I ly 700 such institutions with aggre--1 gate resources of more than SIBO,- { 000,000 have already received Federal ! charters. Lower Interest Sought 2. Easier borrowing requirements, I and lower interest rates on loans by j the Federal Home Loan Bank sys- j tern to member institutions. 3. Deduction from $5,000,000 to j $2,000,000 in the minimum capital j required of mortgage associations established under the Federal Housing act. Government subscriptions to such agencies were provided for in the RFC extension act recently passed. 4. Relaxing of restrictions on mortgage loans by Federal Reserve members, proposed in the Eccles bank bill. The addition of HOLC’s resources will increase its lending power to $4,500,000,000. The new $1,500,000,000, it is estimated, will refinance 500,000 or more properties. When the program is completed the government will hold a lien on one out of every four or five moderately priced urban homes in the country. No G. O. P. Opposition The Steagall bill finds no serious I Republican opposition. Rep. John B. Hollister (R., Ohio), ranking minority member of the Banking and Currency Committee, is supporting the measure. Critics of past HOLC policies are preparing several amendments, however. Rep. Dow W. Harter <D„ Ohio) would prohibit loans to home owners not in distress. Mr. I Harter’s complaint is that HOLC has used about $36,000,000 to refinance wholesale quantities of mortgages held by closed banks and building and loan associations, and that distress of individual mortgagors was disregarded in many cases. Other amendments would increase the size of the new credit, permit aid to new applicants, and lower the maximum loan frqm $14,000 to $5,000 or $7,500. The bill as now drawn anticipates loans only to persons on the waiting lists. Receipts of new applications was suspended last fall.
