Rural housing funds sought as war veterans plan aid
The Office of War Information reports no funds are available now for local public housing and future activity depends on Congress appropriations. Rural housing authorities are urged to file applications to access $25,000,000 in loans and bonds, with veterans able to exchange service certificates for bonds before January 1, 1945. Brig Gen Frank T Hines and Philip M Koutznick emphasize transfer allotments and postwar housing needs for small towns and farms.
