Congress May Act To Limit FHA Interest Rate Hikes
FHA boosted maximum mortgage interest to 5.5 percent from 5 percent and cut required down payments on government-backed loans. Democrats criticized the move as inflationary and call for limits, while Republicans argued higher rates keep FHA loans competitive in a tight money market. Congressional actions may target FHA rates and loan discounts under new controls.

House Committee Cuts $279 Million From Supplemental Bill
The House Appropriations Committee shaved 279 million dollars from a supplemental money bill and urged the Air Force to avoid turning its new academy into a monument to extravagance. It approved about 1.58 billion of the 1.86 billion requested by President Eisenhower for various programs mainly military construction, including 12 percent of a 35 million request for a Washington airport at Burke Virginia. The panel cut 8.33 million from 29.17 million for the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs and criticized inflated costs. It urged a swift Burke airport by 1960, estimating total cost at 60 million with taxes not affected. The committee backed 1.5215 billion of the 1.7645 billion requested for military construction, citing lack of coordination on housing objectives among defense offices and services. It approved 2.41 million of 3.875 million for Ryukyu Islands administration but rejected 9.2 million for a new electric plant, noting current output is under 44 percent of capacity.
