Smaller Down Payments, Longer Terms Forecast For Small Home Builders

OTTAWA. (CP)-smaller down payments and a longer time to re- pay mortgage loans may be in store for Canadians in the market for lower-priced houses.

Prime Minister st. Laurent said Thursday that the government is considering both these measures to "broaden the opportunity for peo- ple of moderate incomes to build their own homes."

More Money For Housing

At the same time. the Prime Minister said in a statement that legislation will be placed before Parliament next month which will

increase the supply of mortgage money for new housing. This legislation will include

amendments to the National Hous- ing Act which would enable the chartered banks. as well as other lending institutions. to lend on in- sured home mortgages.

The government feels, he said, that present sources of mortgage money are iiisufficlent to keep pace with Canada's housing needs.

The prime minister said:

"Having in mind the increase in construction costs which has taken place since the present limit of sl0,000 on Nl-IA loans was set, the government is considering a higher limit for loans under the new sys- tem.

"Consideration is also being giv- en to increasing the proportion of loans to lending values in order to make possible a. smaller down psy-

Eisenhower: invokes law To End Strike

(By Arthur Everett)

NEW YORK. (AP)-The great port of New York was paralyzed Thursday as President Eisen- hower invoked the Taft-Hartley law against a multl-million dol- lar east coast waterfront strike. At best, however, the strike of 60.000 longshoremen was expected to run into next week. at an es- timated cost to the shipping in- dustry of 51,500,000 a day. Ports were idle from Maine to Virginia.

The White House set up a board of inquiry. giving it until Monday to report back. Then the way would be clear for a strike- endlng court injunction.

The rackets-ridden Internation- al Longshoremen's Association. kicked out of the AFL last week. launched the strike at midnight Wednesday to back up wage de- muncls on deep-water shippers. The u'nion's future was at stake.

Awaiting Injunction

Re-armament

MARGATE. England, (GP) - Br-ltla.n's Labor party endorsed Thursday a foreign policy opposing German re-armament and propos- ing the "neutralization" of Korea and Formosa.

It also urged every possible step by the Free World to get together with Russia and end the cold war.

The policy endorsement followed a. key speech by party leader: Clement Attlee, 70-year-old former Labor prime minister. at the party's annual conferenec which ends Friday.

Attica Given deception

Attlee, looking fit despite a re- cent operation, was given one of

reer.

Policies adopted by the party here will form the basis of British foreign policy should Labor oust Prime Minister Churchill's Con- servative government in the next election. .

There was criticism of the re- cently signed Spanish-American agreement by which Spain gets U.s. aid for bases on Spanish soil. But a left-wing resolution. repudia- ting the United States act which bans supply of strategic materials to Communist countries, was with- drawn for lack of support and an- other leftist move rejecting "the present tendency to accept U. S. policy as the policy of this coun- try," also fizzled out.

Urges End of wrangling

Attlee appealed for an end to British-U.S. wrangling and told the 1.300 cheering delegates: "The La- bor party l)eiIGgH.l4hH. clo syco- -opetutfoiV'3Wlt1f . i , , of America is vital to "Britain and the Oommonwealthaa a whole."

Speaking of China. Attlee said it was "an absolutely ridiculous thing" not to recognize the Com- munist govcrnment as the effective government of China.

Attlee expressed uneasiness over proposals to roam Germany. Full talks with Russia and other coun- tries should precede any such re- armament. he said. He praised Prime Minister Churchill for his May 11 call for iop-level Big Four talks, but said the illness of Gliui-chill and his foreign secre- tary. Anthony Eden. had dissipated this initiative.

Attlee believed as time went on it would be found impossible to keep Cominform country people "under the iron rule of the Krem- lin" but he warned the West should not encourage resistance to soviet authority in eastern Eu- rope.

Frost, St. Laurent To confer on Gold Mining Strikes

TORONTO, (GP)-Premier Frost of Ontario and Prime Minister at. Laurent will meet next week for talks on the economic problems plaguing Canada's strike-riddled gold-mining industry.

The premier said Thursday ex- perts of both governments are gathering information for review of the situation. No date for the meetlng was set.

Mr. Frost's statement came .1 few hours before a scheduled meeting of L000 members of the United Steelworkers of America (OIO-COL) at Hollinger mines, one of the six mines hit by strikes which left 5.000 jobless in the For- cupine gold belt.

The meeting will consider a pro- posal by Labor Minister Daley, made after talks with key mining heads Wednesday. that the men return to work and submit their contract dispute to conciliation.

Union leaders say they will re- commend : back-to-work move- ment only on condition that the I-Iclllnger management agrees to send the dispute to arbitration with the decision binding on both parties. The company rejected such a proposal before the walk- out. - .

Civil Defence Seen Greater

for adequate civil defence is greater today than before the Kor- ean truce, Maj.-Gen. F. 1''. Worth- ington, federal civil defence co- ordinator. told Canada's leading police officials here Wednesday night.

Gen. Worthington speaking at the 48th annual convention of the Chief Constable: Association of Ca- nacls. outlined the civil defence program.

A headquarters to be set up 40 miles from Ottawa where police chiefs from all parts of Canada will meet in open discussion of civil defence problems will be an im- portant feature ' i said.

Studies by experts in England. Germany. Canada and the United States had agreed that without proper defence planning, an atomic. attack would result in a 50- per-cent loss of life in the average Canadian city, With a good warn- ing system and a public trained in defence, fatalities could be re- duced to 10 per cent.
