Government Tightens Credit Controls
To Head Off Any Inflationary Trend
WASHINGTON, ttf>—The gov-1
ernment Saturday tightened its
credit terms on home purchases
in a precautionary move to head
off any inflationary trend.
The action means bigger down
payments and less time in which
t to repay housing loans.
Both the Federal Housing Ad
ministration and Veterans Ad
ministration announced a 2%
increase in minimum cash pay
ments and a 5-year reduction in
the present 30-year maximum re
payment period.
The steps were taken in view,
of what housing administrator Al
bert M. Cole described as “warn
ing signs of inflationary possibili
ties.”
Veterans, who heretofore have
been able in many instances to
buy a home without a deposit on
a VA-backed loan, will now have
to put up at least 2 % of the pur
chase price in cash.
For FHA-insured loans, mini- j
mum down payments will rise 2%
—this will require 7% of the first
$9,000 of value plus 27% of the
balance.
The changes go into effect im
mediately.
Cole described the action as “a
mild and temporary precaution
ary measure which seeks to as
sure that the housing market will
not contribute inflationary pres
sures to the economy.

HONITON, England, U*)— Mi
chael John James George Robert
Howard—the 21st Earl of Suffolk
—took over the drums in a dance
band at a coming out party at
6 a.m. Saturday.
During a fast rendition of “I
love Paris,” a man stepped up
and emptied a huge bowl of salad
dressing upon the earl, and darted
through a door.
“I wonder who that mad person
was and why he did such a thing,”
said the earl. “But, I’d better not
cause a scene. It would ruin this
splendid dance.”
Then the earl, who was 20 last
March, returned to his drumming.
able to buy homes with no money
down and with repayments over
a 30-year period since April, 1953.
The VA said it acted after a
study- of national economic con
ditions. It said the new require
ments are expected to “help pros
pective GI loan applicans against
increased prices of homes, over
extension of credit and financial
risks.”
The VA added that its new re
quirements are not retroactive
nor applicable to the purchase of
homes on which it already has
issued certificates of reasonable
value or has received appraisal
requests.

The Eskimo Ground Observer

cameras and equipment.
Col. William E. Boyd, deputy
commander, 11th Air Division

of men for a special occasion.
Before the TV camera, Col.
Boyd awarded medals for dis
tinguished and meritorious ser
vice for the following persons:
Winfred James, GOC supervis
or; Clarence M. Irrigoo, chief of

People from Savoonga reported J
poor spring hunting. They face a
tough winter, they said. A white
visitor reported “no dried meat
seen on rocks!”
While their village store is
stocked with groceries and other
food they are alright, but when
that is gone—then what?
Spring of 1954 was not much
better than this spring. Someone
blamed Savoonga natives for not
hunting on Sundays, and thereby
missing good day for hunting.
So this spring they decided to
take the advantage of good days
and disregard their worship on
Sunday. They did. The result was
worse than the previous year!

Sweeney Oyaghok, who made
his home at Gambell some 33
years ago, passed away last month
and was buried in the American
soil. He was born in Siberia.
He is survived by three daugh
ters. One daughter is in the ANS
sanitarium at Anchorage.
Mr. Oyaghok had spent a win
ter in Seattle when the trading
vessel he was on took him out
side. This took place when Mr.
Swenson, the fur buyer, was an
outstanding figure during fur in
dustry.
