Franklin D. Richards of FHA says new plan to deny federal mortgage guarantees to properties with race or creed restrictions will apply only in exceptional cases and does not affect past covenants. The policy, announced by solicitor Philip Perlman with Truman backing, becomes effective later and aims to curb housing discrimination without broad new aid limits.
