AUSTIN — Home mortgages will
be almost impossible to obtain in
Texas by the end of the year unless
something occurs to relieve the
credit crunch and lower interest
rates, a savings and loan industry of
ficial said Thursday.
Officials of the savings and loan
industry already were contemplat
ing asking Gov. Bill Clements to
allow the Legislature to consider
another increase in the state’s inter
est ceiling on home mortgage loans
before the prime rate was increased
this week to 14.5 percent.
A savings and loan spokesman
said home loans will be extremely
difficult to obtain in Texas under the
current usury ceiling.
“There’ll be some building by
people who move into the state with
equities to put into a house or who
can work out special deals, but it’s
going to severely decrease home
building,” said Durward Curlee,
executive director of the Texas Sav
ings and Loan League.
The money shortage will come
despite an increase from 11 to 11.25
percent in the maximum lenders in
Texas can charge as interest on
home mortgage loans, Curlee said.
He said the prime rate the savings
institutions pay to borrow money to
lend for mortgages increased to 14.5
percent Tuesday, and the savings
and loan institutions cannot borrow
at 14.5 percent and lend the money
to home buyers at a lower rate.

serve Board to reduce the amount of

What they did last weekend, they
not only raised the price or money —
but they took very strong action to
serve will have almost as serious an
impact on lending as the skyrocket
ing interest rates, Curlee said.
“What they’ve been doing to this
point is raising the cost of money.
Woman says girl murdered
as police responded slowly
reduce the amount of money availa
ble.”
Curlee said he expects the mortg
age situation to be worse than oc
curred during the 1973-74 reces
sion.
“The interest rate problem pretty
well cuts us out of anything but mak
ing loans from deposits that we get.
It prohibits us from borrowing from
the Federal Home Loan Bank or
commercial banks,” he said.
Curlee said the savings and loan
industry will decide by December
whether to ask Clements to include
the interest rate ceiling in the
agenda for a special legislative ses
sion.

HOUSTON — A woman has told
city officials she heard a murder
victim struggling and calling for
help in the night, but police were
slow to respond to her telephone
alert.
Irene Manak told City Council
Wednesday she heard Joann
Huffman, 16, pleading for help on
her front porch about 11 p.m. Oct.
3.
The next day, Huffman was found
shot to death in a park across the
street from Manak’s home.
Huffman’s boyfriend, Robert
Spangenberger, 18, was found de
capitated in the trunk of a parked
car.
But when she called police,
Manak said dispatchers told her
they could not understand her and,
at one point, hung up on her.
Manak said several calls were re
quired before police responded.

But Stephanie was lucky. Because
she was born at Baylor University
Hospital, one of the few hospitals in
the state that screen newborns for
congenital hypothyroidism — a rare
hormonal disorder that affects ap
proximately 1 out of every 5,000
neyvborps — her condition was de
tected in time and she immediately
was placed on medication to keep
her system in balance.
If Stephanie’s condition had gone
undiagnosed past 3 months of age,
she would have developed mental
deficiencies and might have spent
the rest of her life in an institution.
“I can’t help but think what might
have happened if I had gone to
another hospital,” said Mrs. Seg-
rest. “Would they have run the test?
By the time the condition was dis
covered, would it have been too
late?”
“I count it a blessing Stephanie
was born at Baylor.”
Stephanie is now 8 months old
and looks like any normal, healthy
baby. But for each day the rest of
her life, Stephanie will take thyroid
hormones to keep her system bal
anced. If she fails to take her
medicine, she soon will begin to de
velop signs of hypothyroidism, said
Jenkins, which in youngsters can
lead to retardation and in older
people, to loss of energy and hair
and skin problems.
“Two years ago, the Legislature
passed a law saying we would do the
test at the state health department
but the appropriations were cut by a
committee,’ recalled Dr. Brad
Therrell of the Texas Department of
Health. “In the last session, the
Legislature passed a law making it
mandatory and did appropriate the
funds.
“We re now awaiting the arrival of
equipment, which should happen in
a couple of weeks, and we re on pins
and needles waiting for testing to
begin.”
Therrell said the hypothyroidism
tests, which will cost taxpayers 50
cents per child, will be included
with three other mental retardation
screening tests currently performed
on blood from each of the 240,000
babies born annually in Texas. The
incidence of the hormonal imbal
ances currently tested for are much
higher — such as 1 in 300,000 —
than for congential hypothyroidism.
Medical experts are unsure of the
cause of hypothyroidism .
