ileagan altering American Warped
Iream, housing group says
United Press International
Major housing groups say the
;agan administration is pursuing
j| course that threatens to take
f /ay from future generations the
}■ iportunity to realize the Amer-
I in dream of buying a home.
1 - The National Association of
ialtors, the National Association
' Home Builders and the Mort-
ige Bankers Association Friday
i intly accused the administration
/proposing to do away with the
l deral insurance agency that
! iderwrites low-cost loans.
The three major agencies said
ie Office of Management and
udget wants to eliminate by 1987
j Government National Mort-
|| ige Association.
The association acts as a federal
insurance agency that gives FHA-
and VA-insured piortgages extra
clout in competing for the assets of
large investors. The three groups
distributed a document they said
was prepared by the OMB. prop
osing a phase-out of the insurance
program.
The president of the National
Association of Realtors, Houston
realtor Julio S. Laguarta, told a
news conference in Washington:
“The electorate didn’t say in elect
ing Ronald Reagan that we re de
ciding now that we’re going to
price out or not give access to this
new generation that’s coming
along to have access to housing.
“You’re going to take away from

the young people, my kids, the
opportunity to buy a house.”
FHA programs extend mort
gages with down payments as low
as 5 percent and the VA program
with no downpayment. Although
the government is committed to
back about $80 billion in outstand
ing mortgages in case the owners
default, the programs actually
show a profit to the government
from a 1 percent fee charged bor
rowers.
It looks like fewer Americans
will be able to afford a home as
well, with the new reports of high
er unemployment.
The Labor Department said
Friday more than 9 million Amer
icans were unemployed in
November, noting that Christmas
shopping failed to curb the up
ward trend.
Actually, more than 10 million
Americans are out of work, but
only 9 million are counted by the
government as technically unem
ployed. Another 1 million are too
discouraged to look for a job and
therefore not included as part of
the workforce.
The nation’s basic money supp
ly fell $900 million in the week
ending Nov. 25 as the public
shifted money out of checking
account balances to save for the
future.
Police suspect ROTC instructor
Missing student mystery case
United Press International
CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Inves
tigators Saturday were trying to
unravel the mystery of an ROTC
instructor who talked three coeds
into naming him beneficiary in life
insurance policies before one of
the women vanished, and the in
structor killed himself.
But letters leading police to
suspect Army Capt. Dwight Bed-
dingfield, 35, in the disappear
ance were described as pure fan
tasy Saturday by one of the woman
involved in the bizarre story.

GEORGE STRAKE
Beddingfield, a military scien
ce instructor at Old Dominion
University, was trustworthy, said
Debora George, a 27-year-old stu
dent at another college.
George, one of three women
who named Beddingfield as be
neficiary on life insurance poli
cies, said she did not believe state
ments damaging to Beddingfield
in letters written by the missing
woman.
Chesapeake Police Lt. Stephen
' Feehan said detectives had prob
able cause to believe Beddingfield
was involved in the disappearance
of Janice Starr, 23, an Old Domin
ion student from Chargin Falls,
Ohio, who vanished Nov. 2.
Beddingfield reported her mis
sing after she missed a week of
classes, and police found her
apartment broken into and signs of
a struggle.
Feehan said an anonymous tele
phone call to the missing woman’s
mother said Starr had a nervous
breakdown and was being cared
for the day after she was reported
missing. But Chesapeake detec
tives say they believe Starr was
the victim of foul play and they
have found no trace of her.
Starr, George and another un
identified woman named Bed
dingfield beneficiaries of life in
surance policies worth thousand!
of dollars. Starr’s policy is wor]
$344,000.
George said a detective show
her letters and a diary written!;I
Starr in which she wrote ofhel
fears for her life and a series a
tests, ranging from drinkingboulil
involving lethal doses ofalcoholt
an offer of $100,000 todriveac
off a bridge.
"The letters are illogical aij
foolish, ” George said. "I haveij
very positive attitude aU
Dwight Beddingfield, and forth!
girl (Starr) to suggest or peopletj
say he was a murderer and all i!i|
bunch of junk,” she said.

HOUSTON — The discovery of
two slain security guards Saturday
morning pushed the city’s unoffi
cial 1981 homicide total past the
1979 record of654, and police offi
cials said the record rate probably
will continue.
Authorities blamed the city’s
growth and influx of people for the
record of 655 homicides this year.
The soaring homicide rate “is a
reflection of the society we live
in,” Police Chief B.K. Johnson
said. “The more people you con-
the
glomerate in an area,
violence you have.”
The latest victims, both Nige
rian nationals studying at Texas
Southern University, were found
dead by another security guard in
a guard shack at a Houston build
ing materials company.
Neither victim was armed, and
police said they had no suspects in
the killings.
The current homicide rate
breaks down to 635 adult killings
and 20 juvenile killings.
Homicide Capt. B.F. Adams
said: “It’s just bad, and ifsbm
had for the past three yean !
doesn’t look like it is goingtok|
up.”
