At a Chamber of Commerce luncheon Joseph G. Leland urged a federal housing fund aided by state money to let workers borrow at long term rates to buy homes. He called for a Washington housing board to promote a universal housing plan and for data from the Housing Corporation to aid a pending bill to make such a fund feasible.
