Both the Thor and Atlas will use a power plant produced by North American Aviation, Inc.

Here are some examples of reductions the FHA could make under the measure: On a $10,000 mortgage, the required down payment could be cut from the present $700 to $4C0. On $15,000 it could be reduced from $1,950 to $1,150, and on it could come down from $3,200 to $2,500.

He said, "It is tended" that these lower down payments would be invoked at the discretion of the federal housing commissioner "as warranted by conditions in the home building and mortgage lending industries and the economy in general."
