Statesman, Salem, May 14, '74 (Sec. Q-7 HUD Secretary Sees 170,000 Home Starts From Nixon Boost The Nixon program to relieve housing stagnation was announced last Friday. At the time national news accounts said his estimate of new starts was 200,000. Secretary Lynn said Monday, however, there is no year, but more likely will account for half that number or less, it was estimated here Monday by James T. Lynn, the U.S.

secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Lynn commented exten Reward Offered For OSU Coed funds would have to be part of the overall grant, with each city deciding how io handle that program. A major effect of the bill Lynn favors, he said, is elimination of much red tape. Once the formula shows what each city is entitled to, Lynn said, it would have to be granted by him unless he could cite some glaring reason for not doing so. The secretary also took note of Salem's experiment with direct cash assistance for qualifying low income residents getting their housing on the open market rather than going into government-subsidized housing units.

"The President has asked me to evaluate this one and other experimental programs of the sort by the end of this year," Lynn said, "so we can decide whether to further this approach to housing for the low income citizen." sively on the new housing program and on urban renewal legislation in a press conference and in a speech and panel appearance before a convention of 1,200 mutual savings bankers at the Hilton Hotel. gator for OSU campus security, said. "When she was first reported missing we considered that she may have left for California. But she still hasn't shown up at home." Miss Parks had been told earlier in the day her father had suffered a heart attack, Harris said. The father has not yet been told his daughter is missing.

The missing girl is 5 feet 7 inches tall and has blonde, waist-length hair. She goes by the name "Kathy." president of the National Association of Home Builders, Lewis Cenker of Atlanta, estimated this as "an 11-months supply." "These unsold homes represent a real bargain for they won't be duplicated at the same costs for some time to come," Cenker said. He illustrated his theme by telling the bankers about a Tennessee home builders' group that has erected billboard signs with the blaring words "How to Build a home for $35,000" followed in smaller type by "Wait until next year." In a separate press conference, the HUD secretary commented on legislation and the present state of urban renewal and community development funding. With reference to Salem's HUD experience Secretary Lynn said he favors continuing, but on a different basis, the low-interest loans and grants for neighborhood rehabilitation, such as is being used in the North Salem Neighborhood Development Program. Lynn favors the House bill under which this would be incorporated with other grant programs in one combined authorization for federal funds, based on each city's poverty level, crowding level in housing and population.

The low-interest loan supply-demand situation as there is plenty of unused capacity in the housing industry, jobs will be restored and, besides the money committed will be spent out only' gradually as the houses are built." The Nixon plan will allow government subsidy to lenders so people can get 8 per cent mortgages instead of 834 per cent which is highest authorized FHA rate now. The Federal Home Loan Bank also is authorized to buy up some of the high-rate mortgages. And money will be made available to lend to savings institutions at one-half per cent less than the commercial market lending rate. Secretary Lynn said some-of the program is already in effect and the rest of it will be by week's end. The bankers expressed major concerns about the loss of savings deposits prompted by depositors switching to government securities and other investments that now pay higher interest than Jbanks and savings and loan associations can pay.

In April alone, the "outflow" of savings from U.S. savings and loan institutions was put at $250 million by George B. Preston, West Palm Beach, president of the U.S. League of Savings Associations. Quinn estimated the outflow for mutual savings banks at $650 million.

Kenneth L. Birchby, Jersey City banker who chaired the panel discussion, predicted this month would also see "a drastic outflow." Outflow deprives such institutions of money for home mortgage lending and forces them to borrow at commercial loan rates far in excess of the mortgage interest rates they can charge. Both the money supply problem and the high mortgage rates have stifled homebuilding in recent months. But there is, nationally, an inventory of unsold homes, that lower interest rates would help move. The Innocent Plea Made To Kidnap Charge By ROBERT E.

Fish and Game Director Joseph Greenley said in a news release the action by Columbia River Compact agencies was "a serious blow" to Idaho fishing pros-. pects. Greenley said the Wash-ington Department of Fish- eries and the Fish Commis-'. sion of Oregon voted to let the 24-hour commercial gill net fishery begin operation Friday afternoon.

"This action was taken despite low dam counts in I'the Columbia and low test fishing results, all of which indicate that the spring run, a large part of which is destined for spawn- ing streams in Idaho, is one the smallest runs in the jast 20 years," Greenley -'said. Indian commercial fishery taken about 15,000 chinook in the Lower Columbia River. Sport fish-mermen had taken about upriver spring Chinook. That left Idaho fishermen I-with about 4,000 fish out of the spring run. "Even that pitifully small fishery is being jeopardized," Greenley said.

He said staff biologists of the two states recommended that there be no commercial seasons and also recom-- mended closing sport fishing Ion the main stem of the I Columbia because of the spring run.

"Conservatively I'd guess the net gain in housing units would be somewhere between 130,000 and 170,000 by the end of this year," Lynn said. There was disagreement between the cabinet member and some of the conven-tioning financial figures whether the $10.3 billion Nixon housing booster would add to the nation's inflation.

Vincent J. Quinn, a Brooklyn, N.Y., savings banker and a leader in the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks that is meeting in Portland, said he thought the housing program will add to inflation "and what's really needed is a fiscal policy that will dampen that inflation." Secretary Lynn countered, "I don't believe it will affect inflation. It isn't a classical Mt.

(AP) Three Walla Walla, High School students found only so-so support recently for the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The students printed the amendment on a petition and asked people to sign it. They did not tell the shoppers and other pedestrains that it was the First Amendment. Of 100 persons approached by the students: 39 signed it but didn't seem to know what it was; another 17 did recognize it as the First Amendment and signed it; 31 read it and refused to sign and 13 would not even read it, the students reported.

The amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for redress of grievances."
