The only major addition to the

sion for more liberal government in-|

surance of mortgages on low-cost homes, Final Action Today A coalition of Republicans and southerh Democrats knocked down props of the Wyatt program which would have permitted subsidy payments to stimulate the production of materials and pre-built units and would have established ceiling prices on existing homes and building lots. Final house action was postponed until this afternoon. Administration leaders were confident of defeating a motion to return the bill to the banking committee, In the senate administration supporters will make another effort to salvage the major Wyatt proposdls. Here are principal provisions and omissions of the bill as it stands now: ; PRICE CONTROLS — Builders would be required to fille with a designated agency, presumably federal housing administration, their plans and maximum sale price. The agency would permit the sale if the price is “reasonably related” to the

market value of the land and improvements and represents a profit not in excess of the 1941 rate. The {original selling price would become the ceiling during the life of the! | act.

Similar controls already are being imposed by FHA through the allo-| cation of materials. i The bill omits price controls on building lots, and the house de-| feated, 249 to 134, an attempt to {impose céiling prices on existing! | hogoes. ! | MORTGAGE INSURANCE—A $1 | {billion fund is created .to insure, | mortgages up to 90 per cent of ap- | {praised value, with the insurance {limit ranging from 85200 on one- | {family homes to $12000 on four{family dwellings. In. higher-cost lareas, these limits may be raised to | a range of $8100 to $16,200. Insured loans would bear not more than 4 per eent interest, as compared {with 4's per cent allowed on ordinary FHA loans. The $1 billion| fund could be raised to $2 billion! at the President's diseretion. { PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS—Veterans' preferences on new housing, already established’ by presidential order, are extended |

[terials, also part of the present pro|gram, similarly is extended to the {same date.

SUBSIDIES — "Premium payments” of -$400 million for stimu-

- lating the production of conven-

tional materials were eliminated, {along with $200 million for develop[ing new materials and prefabricating techniques. Both funds had been asked by Mr. Wyatt. Also {missing is his proposed guarantee of a market for pre-built units. MATERIAL PRICES—The bill {gives the expediter power to-direct |OPA to alter ceiling prices when

Mr. Wyatt's request for more rapid tax amortization for plants producing new-type materials and pre-built houses was not. embodied in the bill, but may be acted on later by the house ways and means committee. Similarly, his request for funds to move and reassemble 100,000 additional temporary wartime houses is awaiting house action. The senate passed this measure last week
