The new corporation is needed, ommittee co-chairmen Orville Wise nd Walter Evans sald, to plirchase materials at Camp Atterbury and pther army camps. The houfing committee was told esterday by national housing ad-

ministration state director’ P. B. i

upon all individuals and subsidiary firms. The maximum sentence under federal anti-trust laws is $5000 and one year's imprisonment. Judge Lindley said prison sentences would “serve no purpose” in this case, which involved no “moral turpitude” but rather “violation of economic policy as established by statute.

The Patman Act permits the FHA | VETERAN’ g ELECTION. to insure mortgages. up to 90 per

cent of value and appraisals for such loans to be made on the basis of necessary current costs. Ordinary FHA insurance requires appraisals on the basis of long-term . values. The emergency program contemplates greater risks and some loss to the government if home prices do

not stay at present levels.

FHA officials expect their business to pick up when building costs return closer to the range now fixed in FHA mortgage ceilings. average mortgage now is generally higher than the $6000-$8100 limits but officials hope that building costs will drop when materials become

more plentiful.
