Mini MfiHiraHM mi ii mi m VA Chiei Cautions Home-Buying Vets In the face of today's record j housing boom and era of easy j mortgage financing, Veterans Administrator Carl R. Gray, Jr., 1 has issued a word of caution to- 1 the 13 million World War II vet erans who still are eligible for VA-guaranteed home loans und- , er the GI Bill. , A 4-page pamphlet, which in cludes a letter signed by Admin istrator Gray and addressed "TO , THE HOMI, -BUYING VETERAN," j has Just come off the presses and is being distributed. Intended as a guide for veter- 1 ans who contemplate buying or i building a home, the pamphlet ' points out some of the pitfalls and headaches which may be en countered and gives advice to ward avoiding them. First and foremost, it is empha sized that veterans should fully understand that a GI loan, like any othf>mta?n, must be repaid. "The VA guaranty, which pro-) tects the lender against loss, en courages him to make the loan at a very low rate and with only a small or no down payment," Gray's letter states. "But if you fall to make the payments you agree to make, the VA must pay the loss to the lender, and the a mount paid by VA must be re paid by you. Any compensation or pension to which you may be entitled could be withheld in whole or in part until such debt is satisfied." The Veterans Administrator al so warned the veteran against taking on an obligation too hea vy for him to carry, in addition to the monthly payments of interest and principal, he pointed out that | the veteran home -owner also must meet the cost of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs, heat, light, water and other utilities. Advising strongly against rush Ing into what may prove to be an il-advised purchase, Gray re minded veterans that they have until July 25, 1957, to use their right to a guaranteed loan. Now that the post-war housing shortage is easing off, the Ad ministrator urged veterans to PRESCRIPTION SERVICE We Fill any Doctors' Pro scriptions promptly and accurately at reasonable prices with the confidence of your physician.

While VA makes every effort to assure that the veterans pays on ly a reasonable price for the home, taking quality and condi tion into account, the agency can not guarantee that he will be sat isfied with his purchase, Gray added. Veterans unfamiliar with home construction should seek the ad vice of a reliable person who knows construction, and compe tent advice should ?be obtained in connection with the signing of sales contracts and other docu ments, the letter warns. Before making a deposit on a home, they should make sure the paper they sign calls for a refund in the e vent the GI loan deal falls throu gh.
