THE HAMMOND TIMES Page 11 Monday, April 29, 1957 1 'f- Lower FHA Down Payment Plan Gets Bacldng Here Sinclair Earnings Hit New Quarterly Record Assessing Time Here Once More AT -M 1 Ginder Named To Nov Post At U.S. Steel The appointment of Grove R. Ginder as assLHant to division superintendent of the West Mills at U.S. Steel's Gary Steel Works, was announced today by John H. Vohr, general superintendent.

The appointment is effective on May 1. A native of Gary, Ginder was graduated from the University 'of riphirnn with 4 Highlights typically suited to its needs, such a family should be able to buy a home valued at approximately from $13,000 to Kurtz noted that, under the present law, a $700 down payment is required on a $10,000 house: Smathers would reduce this to $200 and the administration to $400. HE CALLED attention to Smathers' comment that it was the Florida Senator's firm conviction "that down payments such as would be required under this proposed legislation are absolutely essential for the revival of the home building industry, as well as to insure adequate housing needs for the American people." The local NAHB official said Smathers' proposed legislation embodied one of the proposals which George S. Goodyear, NAHB president has been fighting for in Washington, D.C. "The bill Introduced by Sen.

Smathers is a constructive measure which should go far toward bringing more housing to the lower and middle-income families of the United States," Kurtz said. He also pointed out that Smathers received the report of other leading senators in introducing the measure. and Juanita fields and transportation outlets will become available shortly. He also disclosed that development work in the Barinas area is on schedule, and substantial output from this field is anticipated upon pipline completion around October 1 of this year. Sinclair's total doemstic sales in the first quarter declined by one-half of one per cent as compared with the corresponding period of 1956.

Mr. Spencer attributed this decline to the unseasonably warm weather during the heating season, together with a minor slowing down of activity in certain segments of the nation's economy. SINCLAIR'S total sales, domestic and foreign in the initial three months of this year totaled gallons, representing a gain of 1.8 per cent as compared with the same period a year ago. Crude processed at domestic refineries during the first quarter averaged 443,463 barrels daily, representing an Increase of slightly less than one per cent or 3,616 barrels over last year. Refinery operations in the second quarter of this year will fall below the first three months of the current year.

Spencer said. However, he added, this is in line with the customary seasonal fluctuation in sales demand and with Sinclair's consistent policy of gearing its product output to its anticipated sales requirements. In commenting on industry, Spencer said, "The petroleum industry is in the process of adjusting itself to the aftermath of the dislocation caused by the stoppage of normal flow of oil to Europe from the Middle East. In view of the industry's long Standing record of adaptability to changing conditions is reasonable to epect that, with the exercise of prudent restraint, the adjustment to 'business as usual' can be accomplished without serious difficulty." Wayne Kurtz, president of the Home Builders Association of Northern Indiana, today endorsed the move of Sen. George Smathers (D-Fla), to make it possible for more lower and middle-income families to buy homes.

Kurtz pointed out that Smathers introduced in the Senate a bill to lower the FHA down payment requirements on new homes. "IN INTRODUCING the bill," Kurtz noted, "Smathers had the backing of the Democratic leadership in the Senate. He told the senate, 'The average young home-buying family of today has not had the opportunity to save a large amount of money and does not have much in the way of available cash seldom more than about 'Under the present FHA down payment schedule, this would mean that such a family could afford a house valued at not much more than $10,000 since cash requirements for closing costs average generally between $400 and $500. At today's costs, to obtain a home Ransack Home On Woodniar Ave. Two bedroom dressers and a dining room buffet at the Roy Freeman home, 6918 Woodmar Ave, Hammond, were ransacked over the week end, police reported today.

Loss could not be determined because the family is 'out of town. Police said the burglary was discovered by Mrs. Wilma Zacher, of 3508 Ridge Rd, Highland, who has been watching the house for the Freemans. Entry was gained through a basement window, police said.

Customers Purdue Student Electrocuted By Model Plane KE WANNA, Ind.

(UP) Dean Wollington, 19, a Purdue University freshman, was electrocuted Sunday when his model airplane hit a power line. Wollington was home for the week end. He was showing off the plane to a group of youngsters at the Kewanna High School baseball diamond. Witnesses said the plane hit a high tension wire and a "ball of fire" came down the guide wjre. WELLINGTON'S father, Harold, a building contractor and assistant volunteer fire chief, tried to save his son with artificial respiration.

But the youth was pronounced dead on arrival at Woodlawn Hospital in Rochester. Wollington was an engineering student He was a pilot and often flew the Wollingtons' private plane. He was a track star in high school. In every business, every industry, the need for college-educated people mounts year by year.

But they are handicapped by lack of funds. More money is needed each year to expand facilities, bring aculty salaries up to an ade- It's assessing time again in Lake County and deputies and work ers from North and Calumet Township assessor's offices have begun the thankless job of visiting area homes to assess household goods and other personal property for the 1957 tax schedule. The task of visiting homes for tax assessment purposes has been given over to an army of women because as the assessors put it the workers usually must deal with housewives.

DEPUTY ASSESSORS from the office of John F. Pers, North Township assessor are expected to complete their task within 40 days. At many homes, the assessors may not be able to find the occu pants present even alter more than one visit. In this case, the deputy assessor is instructed to leave a notice. If after two more return visits the occupant still is not at home, the assessor then fills out an arbitrary return of valua tion based on what is observed from the outside and from the appearance of the place.

A VALUATION schedule recommended by the State Tax Board classifies homes as "cheap," "low cost "Intermediate," "average, better, and "high class." Assessors use the "Red Book" and "Blue Book" for trucks and automobiles. Vehicles are valued for tax purposes at 70 per cent of their cash value listed in the official reports of national used car values. In Griffith about 70 per cent of the residences have already been checked.

Earnings of Sinclair Oil Corporation and its subsidiaries in the first quarter of this year broke all records for any three month period in the company's 41-year history, P. C.

Spencer, president announced today. Consolidated net income in the first three months rose to representing an increase of per cent over the $24,245,569 earned in the comparable period of 1956, Spencer stated. Earnings per common share, computed on the basis of the average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods, increased to $1.72 per share against $1.68 a share in the same three months of this year totaled compared with 14,377,831 in the same period a year ago. The increase in shares outstanding, Spencer pointed out, was principally attributable to conversions of the company's 3 per cent convertible debentures prior to their being called for redemption on January 1957. TOTAL NET production of crude oil and natural gas liquids aggregated 174,336 barrels per day in the quarter ended March 31, compared with 167,453 barrels in the same three months of last year.

Total net production in the United States and Canada increased by 10,213 barrels daily. Net production in Venezuela decreased by 3,330 barrels daily. This decrease, Spencer said, was due in part to natural decline in production from fields Which appear to be fully drilled up, and in part to temporary restrictions made desirable in the south Santa Barbara field by reason of the high gas-oil ratio revealed by engineering data. Commenting further on Venezuela, Spencer pointed out that development drilling is proceeding in the newly discovered Aguasay So You Heard The Sirens A summary of Fire Department emergency calls from 11 p.m. Saturday to 10 a.m.
