cash in on loan
United Press International
METAIRIE, La. — Hopeful homebuyers who camped outside loan
offices for a week in carnival-like tent cities are waiting once again. This
time it’s to find out if their applications for bargain-basement mortgage
loans are accepted.
Hundreds of would-be homeowners spent a week in the shanty
towns that sprung up on loan company parking lots to be among the
first to apply for $100 million that will be loaned to Jefferson Parish
residents at a low interest rate of 7.5 percent
The loans, sponsored by the Jefferson Parish Home Mortgage Au
thority and funded by tax-free municipal bonds, carry an interest about
4 percent below the going rate.
“If we don’t get the cheap money, we won’t buy the house,” said
Rene Mouledoux, an attorney who was among the first to apply at First
Homestead and Savings Association in New Orleans.
Although he waited through the week and was ninth in line, the
mortgage company was expected to make only five loans.
“It’s kind of like waiting for a draft number except in this case you
want to get a low one,” Mouledoux said.
The peacefuTtent cities were complete with beach umbrellas, lawn
chairs and plenty of iced down soft drinks and beer.
At one mortgage company, “residents” founded their own news
papers, elected a mayor and wore T-shirts with their numbers in line
printed on the backs.
Campers shared Labor Day picnics, celebrated each others’ birth
days and played marathon games of Scrabble and Monopoly. Several
already have plans for a reunion next year.
Despite the popularity of the low-interest loans among middle
income families, state legislators feared home mortgage authorities
would mushroom out of control, ruining business for private mortgage
companies and threatening the financial soundness of communities
that backed up the municipal bonds.
FCCeyes lift in program, ad ruh
for nation s 8,600 radio station
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Federal
Communications Commission voted
Thursday to propose abolishing
guidelines for programming and
commercials on the more than 8,600
radio stations in the nation.
The commission also decided to
examine its current requirements
that stations conduct formal surveys
to determine their community’s
needs — a procedure called ascer
tainment — and to eliminate certain
program log requirements.
The commissioners said they
would examine the regulations to de
termine whether they are still
needed.
The vote to begin a commission
examination of the regulations was
5-2, with commmissioners Abbott
Washburn and Joseph Fogerty dis
senting in part and concurring in
part.
A final decision on whether to
drop the regulations in question is at
least six months away, since the
commission allowed 90 days for pub
lic comment on its proposals and 60
days for replies.
“The action we have proposed
today is a new step in our continuing
effort to seek and find more effective
and efficient ways to make com
munications responsive to public
needs,” said commission Chairman
Charles Ferris.
“In each of these areas we propose
to deregulate, our preliminary data
reveal that radio stations have by and
large exceeded the requirei
government has imposed,” Fi
said in a statement.
“Survival in a competitive,
ketplace appears to require rat,'
tions to impose upon themsel
heavier burden of responsiventj
community needs than have
eminent regulations.”
Senate slaps Nixon with 10
for improving San Clemen
United Press Internationa]
WASHINGTON — The Senate
wants Richard Nixon to repay the
Treasury thousands of dollars for im
provements made on his San
Clemente, Calif, home during his
presidency — and the government
thinks he may agree to do so.
In a “sense of the Senate” amend
ment to an $8.8 billion Treasury and
Postal Service appropriations bill
Tuesday, the Senate asked Nixon to
abide voluntarily by a 1976 law re
quiring owners of property im
proved at federal expense to reim
burse the Treasury when they leave
office.
Nixon inspired the law, butin
covered by it since he
1974.
A spokesman for the GeneralSi

has been in touch with Nixon as '
