Two Alternative FTC Suggestions On Housing Act Amendments
Washington U R Federal Reserve Governor Marriner Eccles told the senate banking committee that greater inducements than proposed would be needed to attract private capital to President Roosevelt housing program. He proposed two changes: exempt 3 percent debentures issued by FHA from taxation and raise the proposed 5 percent interest rate. He noted the after tax return would still be only about 2 percent, insufficient to compete with tax exempt government bonds. He criticized current cost estimates as high and said labor and material costs must be reduced, blaming AFL CIO conflicts but expecting decreases.
