jgi- 1. I- U.S. hears Iran warned on captives By TERENCE SMITH 1979 The New York Times WASHINGTON President Carter, denouncing the "inhumane and degrading conditions" imposed upon the 49 U.S. hostages in Tehran, warned Iran again last night it would suffer "grave consequences" if they were harmed. "This nation will never yield to blackmail," Carter said in a toughly worded opening statement at a nationally televised news conference at the White House.

Fielding questions on his handling of the crisis, Carter said it was "not advisable" for him to explore publicly the various Solidarity church bells WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter is urging that church bells be rung daily at noon to show the Iranians that Americans want the hostages released. In support of Carter's appeal for a show of concern, Rep. Morris K. Udall, "Let each of us. show the Ayatollah Khomeini that he, more than any other person, has unified America in the strongest of ways." Udall said the original request for a noontime ringing of bells and minute of contemplation and prayer was made in a Thanksgiving message from Bruce Laingen, American charge d'affaires in Tehran and the senior U.S.

The Moslem militants holding the U.S. Embassy said Iran must not take part in a United Nations debate on the crisis. Abolhassan Bani Sadr was relieved of his foreign-affairs post and replaced by Revolutionary Council member Sadegh Ghotbzadeh after the embassy militants denounced Bani Sadr's plans to take part in a meeting this weekend of the U.N. Security Council on the Iran situation.

The militants, echoing Khomeini's own rejection of any Security Council decision, condemned the U.N. body as the "Satanic Council" and "Carter's mouthpiece."

Suzanne Osgood Only 15 percent can afford to buy a home Dreams of 'own four walls' smashed on stone wall of payments costs associated with home ownership, from utilities to taxes, the aide said. A family would need an annual income of more than $45,000 to afford the $732 monthly mortgage payment required on a $65,000 home carrying a 14 percent mortgage, a spokesman for the National Association of Home Builders testified. "Can we even hold out the expectation that young adults can form independent households?" asked Sen.

Paul Sar-banes, D-Md. "The Federal Home Loan Bank Board better really pay some attention to this problem." Sarbanes said the housing pinch facing middle-income people could sharpen tensions between them and lower-income people who receive federal housing and 1.3 million units, compared with 1.75 million this year and more than 2 million in 1978. Others put next year's figure at 1.4 million units. The construction slump will increase unemployment in the housing industry by 20 percent, affecting 1.5 million workers, Smith said. Janis said, "If the downturn is too severe and protracted, the resulting shortfall in production will cause a large pent-up demand for housing." Ironically, this will lead to another surge in housing prices by 1981, making it "virtually impossible for young families, and those with lower incomes especially, to afford housing," he said.

Janis said many young adults will be forced to rent for years to come, while others will move back to their parents' homes. "I am certainly pessimistic about the near-term future for housing and thrift (institutions)," said Janis, whose agency regulates the nation's savings-and-loan associations. But he defended the Federal Reserve Board's "calculated risk" in raising interest rates, saying it was necessary to deal with an inflation rate that exceeds 13 percent, poor productivity and the dollar's weakness. Herman J. Smith, vice president-treasurer of the National Association of Home Builders, testified that housing starts next year will plummet to between 1.1 million have increased from 10 percent or 11 percent to as high as 14 percent, while interest rates to homebuilders exceed 16 percent in most places.

On Tuesday, the government reported housing costs rose in October at the steepest rate since 1947, and the worst is yet to come, many economists say. Janis said the unprecedented surge in mortgage rates increases of four percentage points during the last two months in some places has added a "couple of hundred dollars" to a new homebuyer's monthly carrying costs. The difference each month between a $55,000, 30-year mortgage at 9 percent and 13 percent is $160, an aide to Janis calculated. And this doesn't include other rising WASHINGTON (AP) Only a "privileged few" can afford to buy a new home today, as people are squeezed by record-high mortgage rates and rising prices, the chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board said yesterday. Jay Janis said only 15 percent of potential homebuyers can meet today's monthly payments, a "severe drop" from past years.

People must spend about 36 percent of their disposable income for housing today, or about twice as much as 10 years ago, he told the congressional Joint Economic Committee.
