One complaint in the study involved a Washington, D.C., woman who made a deal to pay $14,000 for a house that had changed hands three weeks earlier for only $7,100. It was in such bad shape that embarrassed FHA officials last week...
...deepening crisis of the cities, has indicated that it will put up a much tougher fight for the plan this year. It is working on a new draft that could increase the first-year ante to $2 billion, perhaps as much as $5 billion, and has lined up bipartisan support for the idea. Moreover, there were strong indications that one of the duties of newly appointed Treasury Secretary John Connally would be to induce fellow Southerner Mills to back the program...
