GOPs Heartened
By Reception
Given Ike’s Speech
By the Associated Press
President Eisenhower set out
today to convince the nation’s
fanners that "we’re doing every
thing we can for them."
Eisenhower was billed to make
two brief speeches at the Des
Moines airport before he flies
back to Washington. Next Tues
day, Eisenhower will make a ma
jor farm speech at Peoria, 111.
Republican leaders were heart
ened by the enthusiastic reception
Eisenhower got yesterday when
he drove from Des Moines to
Boone, the birthplace of Mrs.
Eisenhower. The Eisenhowers re
mained overnight at Boone before
heading for the field day site in
Newton.
The big crowds that turned out
to wave and shout greetings as
the President’s motorcade passed
by diminished concern among
some GOP politicians over a pos
sible farm revolt in the politically
important farm belt.
However, when the President
went down the receiving line at
Boone, Marlowe Williams, a law
yer who arranged the homecom
ing festivities honoring Mrs. Eis
enhower, told Eisenhower “the
farmers are still complaining.”
“By golly,” Eisenhower replied,
“we’re doing everything we can
for them.”

Home Financing
Agencies Act To
Ease Credit
WASHINGTON, (*—'The gov
ernment’s home financing agen
cies took steps to lower down
payments and ease credit for con
struction of housing.
Four specific actions were an
nounced by the White House.
They are designed mainly to
stimulate the low - cost housing
field. This is what was done:
1. The Federal Housing Ad
ministration cut from 7 to 5 per
cent the minimum down pay
ment on homes appraised at $9000
or less.
2. The Federal Home Loan
Bank Board boosted the borrow
ing limitation of member insti
tutions in order to improve the
capacity of savings and loan and
other home financing institutions
to meet the demand for mortgage
loans.
3. The Federal National Mort
gage Assn., (FNMA), in effect,
raised the price it will pay for
mortgages by 1 per cent, in an
effort to provide more funds for
builders and buyers.
4. The FNMA also agreed to
issue advance commitments to
buy home mortgages at prices
more favorable to the seller.
The White House said the ac
tions to “strength home building
and facilitate the purchase of low
cost homes” were taken in re
sponse to a request by President
Eisenhower for a review of hous
ing credit needs.

Suez Canal Users
Association
Gains Support
LONDON, l£t—The Western big
three proposal for a canal users’
association gained new support
Thursday in the 18-nation Suez
conference and delegates pointed
toward finishing their work by
this weekend.
Turkey and Portugal joined 9
other nations in backing the plan
outlined by U. S. Secretary *of
State Dulles for the association to
work in cooperation with Egypt
until the Suez crisis is perman
ently solved. Ethiopia and Spain
gave qualified support, but did
not commit themselves to joining
the association.
Informants said a majority
hopes to have the users associa
tion operating within two weeks
and that it will then ask Egypt's
President Nasser to let one of its
ships through the canal.
Still to be decided, however, is
whether the nations backing the
association plan would take the
dispute immediately to the United
Nations if Nasser refused transit
to the test ship.
Eleven nations were behind the
proposal.
Sweden repeated her call for
I an immediate approach to the
United Nations.
An American source said Sec
retary Dulles hoped to leave Lon
don Friday night to keep a com
mitment in Washington Sunday,
but may stay over until Saturday
night if necessary.
