May 11. Speaking before the 51st annual conference of the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks, Preston Martin, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board in Washington, said that the current demand for unsubsidized housing is rising strongly fueled by the large availability at mortgage-oriente- d savings institutions. Trends Give Confidence As further evidenced that the private sector of the U.S. housing market is turning strongly upward, .Martin pointed to current trends in new home sales. New home sales have been in. Center Trains Indians Law f., pressed concern however .over absence of any provision, contained in the present OEO system, whereby a governor could veto a program for his state. "Yok might be creating a monster without anyone to control it," Veysey said. I'm awed by a corporation that is nationwide and is directed by lawyers. It would attract bright, young attorneys, crusaders who are eager to make a reputation. Creates Board Under Nixons plan, the legal sejvices corporation would be administered by a board of directors. Directors would be appointed by the President, and legal services attorneys could not handle criminal cases for the poor, as they do now. Attorneys would be prohibited from lobbying for causes backed by minorities but would be allowed to testify, if requested, before Congressional committees. Rep. William Steiger, principal author of a competing bill, said the ban on representation in criminal cases is not in the best interest of the clients to be served. Steiger Bill The Steiger bill would also create an independent corporation but directed by 19 board members with only one third of them appointed by s., the President and requiring representation for the poor. It would permit continued criminal case representation. a long Rep. Edith Green, OEO of lime critic operations and of lobbying activities by particularly legal services attorneys, said the administration measure would still permit such activities. d What if some group wants to use federal money to lobby against this very bill?, Mrs. Green asked.

(ACCN) Five years ago, the faculty of the University of New Mexico conceived the idea of an Indian Law Center. Located in the heart of the Indian country, they saw the acute need. The Center has now become a realty. Joining with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Office of Economic Opportunity has invested $2 million in this basic Indian law study project over the past five years. In this day of renewed public and governmental interest in the plight of the Indian, there is a need by many tribes for professionally CUT. UTAH Show Optimism, FHLB Head Says creasing sharply, Martin told his savings banker audience. In recent months new home sales have been averaging an annual seasonally adjusted rate of around 600,000 units, compared to 400,000 units in the first and this is an quarter of 1970 increase of 33 per cent, he said. Based on Martin's prediction of 1.3 to 1.4 million unsubsidized housing starts in 1971, starts for the year would be up 30 per cent to 35 per cent over 1970's level of 1,035,000. Note of Caution While the FHLB Board chairman said he expects 1971 will bring a renaissance in unsubsidized housing starts, he warned that the wide functions in supply and demand in the savings and mortgage markets are not conducive to a stable flow of mortgage funds at low interest rates, and to the attainment of the nations housing goals over the course of the monetary cycle. The dynamics of these markets, Martin declared, argue for an historically unprecedented degree of flexibility in the most specialized of the institutions dealing housing: the savings and with loan Mitchell Names Administrative Aide for LEAA - WASHINGTON (ACCN Atty.
