It notes broader easing by Congress on home loans and veteran loan provisions, with cautious business sentiment and a call for nonpolitical lending. A note from Roger W. Babson offers a scholarship at UTOPIA PLAN COLLEGE. Lloyd Brown, son of Oscar Brown Sr., has returned from Korea and is visiting relatives with no definite plans.
