Housing Weathers First Money Crisis of 1968
Washington AP reports housing and home mortgage industries withstood the early 1968 money crunch. Lenders see high interest rates likely through 1968, with some relief if taxes rise and spending cuts occur. S&L deposits steadied, dampening fears of a loan squeeze. Also noted is a Kauai rice paddy training center by the University of Hawaii to teach Americans en route to Asia about rice production. Trainees will study a full growing cycle in two weeks with first arrivals in March bound for Vietnam.
