Carluccl gave four examples of how the program would work: On home loans, a homeowner who suffered $8,000 damage from flooding could get a loan from the Small Business Administration for the total amount He would have to pay back only $3,000 at one per cent a year.

A homeowner who suffered $20,000 damage on a home on which there is a mortgage. Because the damage exceeds more than half of the value, SBA could make a 30-year, $40,000 loan with $5,000 forgiveness. He could have $8,000 of the original mortgage unpaid. According to Carluccl, his principal and interest payments prior to the disaster were $189 per month. His monthly payments afterwards on the SBA and original loan would bo $167.

-On farm loans, a fanner suffers crop losses of $5,000, loses 10 cows worth $4,500 and has $6,000 damage to a barn for a total loss of $15,500. He can obtain loans from the Farmers Home Administration. Under present law, total repayment would be $26,349. Under to cover refinancing of liens on the damaged property being restored. The portion of the loan for refinancing could not exceed the portion that covers the damage sustained.

The first $5,000 of the $300,000 loan would be canceled and the interest would be one per cent a year up to 30 years. Carluccl also advised the communities to put up incentives for people to move out of areas prone to flooding. "And by all means take action to qualify your community for federal flood Insurance and encourage homeowners and businesses to purchase it," he said. Carluccl said federal long-term recovery efforts will be centered in regional councils in Philadelphia and New York. He said the federal government will put the relief measures into effect "rapidly and effectively.

But we will need rapid local decisions to do this. I suggest you utilize this period to instill a new spirit of team-work and cooperation Into your rebuilding effort." The officials also got a rundown on present flood relief programs available Including money available from the President's disaster relief fund, the SBA, the Federal Highway Administration, Appalachian Regional Commission, Commerce Department, Corps of Engineers, Labor Department, Housing and Urban Development Department, and the Farmers Home i HEADBOARDS BED FRAMES Regular 99 i $12.95 $39.95 Opponents Meet Choier Fox, left, who holds filming righh for the world chtts tournament in Iceland, holds a prt-dawn moot." ing w'rth U.S. champion Bobby Fiicher, loft, at Fischer's hotel Fischtr has registered a complaint that cameramen were up- sotting his game.

"It is vital that this money reach you immediately," Vice President Spiro T. Agnew told about 500 mayors, county executives and community leaders from the states that suffered most from th flooding.

President Nixon invited the community leaders to Washington for a briefing on his proposal for emergency relief as well as to detail the programs available to their areas. Agnew, who toured the flood-ravaged states on orders from the President, said he saw a "bleak picture of tragedy and dislocation." He said the "destruction was appalling but the response was heartening. It's not often possible for communities to single-handedly repair the damage." He and Frank Carluccl, deputy director of the Office of Management and the Budget, outlined how the emergency relief plan will work.

In his letter, however, he as- serted: "The bungling un knowns who claimed to be professional cameramen were clumsy, rude and deceitful.
