NR,IDA Directors Climqx Semi-Annuol Boqrd Meeting With Approvcl of Coopetutiye Notionql Ad Proglum

(Continued from Page 6) clared. "NAREB has urged that t\e agency modify its procedures so that individuals may hold such mortgages provided they are orginated, processed, closed and serviced by FllA-charted mortgages. Present regulations require that FHA-insured mortgages must be made and held by corporations capitalized at $100,000 or more and meeting other tr'HA requirements.

Mr. Nutter could not estimate how much money such a change in policy would bring lnto tjre mortgage market, but he saicl it would be very substantial.

Mr. Nutter congratulatod the NRLDA on the stanil it took on the matter of using grado-marked lurnber in houses tn the FIIA proEram, and sald ho hoped for contlnued cooperatlon botween the two essoclations.

The ffnal speaker on the Board of Directors program was Julian Zimmerman, commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration, who told the NRLDA representatives that he was often completely mystified by some of the housing legislation in- troduced on Capitol Hill. In this instance, he was referring to the "Ilome F inancing Act of 1960," many features of which would greatly liberalize F-HA practices.

Mr. Zimmerman said that the bill would reduce F HA's income, and at the same time increase potential liability by generally increasing risks in many F HA programs. Quoting from a statement made earlier to the House Subcommittee on Housing, Mr. Zimmerman said:

"Keeping in mind also that FHA is under constant pressure to take more and more risks by more liberal credit policies, more liberal appraisal policies, and more liberal underwriting policies; I think the committee will well understand my firm belief that serious questions of soundness are here being raised,"

He then doparted from hls quotatlon and gold: "Is not thle sltuatlon of real concern to your lnilustry? Mr. Northup ls a great help to IIIA tn seeking sound houslng leglslatlon, but how about you and your Congtessman?"

He went on to urg'e more participation by retail building materials dealers in legislative matters, especially those that have such a direct efrect on their businesses.

More Western Whire Spruce Avoiloble To Colifornio M'orkets Through New Oregon-Pocific Timber Purchqse

Oregon-Pacific Lumber Company, Portland-based distributor of lumber and plywood throughout the United States, will be in position to expand its sales of Western White Spruce in California and other markets as a result of a major timber purchase in northern British Columbia.

Principals of the company recently bought some 175,000,000 feet of timber, largely Western White Spruce, and are now planning its long-term development. This species is already gaining greater acceptance and a stronger competitive status in many U. S. markets, according to Jack Saltzman, Oregon-Pacific president, and this purchase will provide a major source of controlled production through which the company can meet growing demands.

The company has been successful in making the production of British Columbia mills available to California dealers. Qualities and species have proved highty acceptable, and Western White Spruce has become one of the better known materials in this trade.

Saltzman says he is currently planning for eventual harvesting of the newly acquired timber, which will require substantial operations for full development. The company's operations in British Columbia are assisted by a full-time office in Kamloops, manned by a staff of lumbeSmen who are thoroughly acquainted with Canadian production capabilities, and who are in constant touch with diverse operationS throughout British Columbia.
