Surcharge not a cure for thrift industry says executive
William J. McKeever president of the National League of Insured Savings Associations told a Texas Savings and Loan League convention that a 10 percent surcharge will not fix structural flaws in the thrift system. He urged expanded lending authority and greater investment power to sustain homebuilding amid Treasury borrowing needs of about 16 billion in the latter half of the year plus 12 billion in refundings. He warned of rough months ahead and stressed savings and loan firms are housing specialists seeking extended investment powers, not bank status.
