Washington, Nov. 2,5.—Broad
scale government insurance of
private loans was proposed today
in a memorandum drawn up for
study by hdmi'nistraiion eco
nomic advisers.
The memorandum suggested
that the principles back of the
bousing program might be used
to good effect In encouraging
re-employment through stimulat-
infi private credit in many other
lines of endeavor.
Specifically, however, it pro
posed that an agency, similar in
many respects to the housing ad
ministration, be set up to insure
loans to industry for plant mod
ernization.
For such loans, it suggested
that character be emphasized ra
ther than a rigid adherence to
collateral requirements. It was
argued that If men were good
managers and able to put funds
to work honestly and economi
cally, they deserved capital pure
ly on economic grounds regard
less of the paper they might
have in their safe deposit boxes.
The Buncombe county agricul
tural committee and the Ashe
ville chamber of commerce have
agreed to raise $750 to promote
a fat cattle show.
