Carpenters Union leader seeks low interest federal mortgages
William Sidell told 2,500 delegates at the 1974 Carpenters Union convention that the federal government should expand the FHA and fund citizens directly at 4 or 5 percent to ease housing costs. He links this to aid for 850,000 members and a 12 percent unemployment rate amid the housing slump. The plan draws mixed reactions from AFL-CIO officials and the savings associations, who warn of higher inflation.

Increased Power Rates Are Urged by NC State Economist
