WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (UP)—
A special House committee on
abuse of the GI BUI of Rights re-
ported Saturday that home-buying
veterans have been widely gypp^
and overcharged, and warned that
Uncle Sam may wind up holding
the bag for billions of dollars.
The committee blamed weak
laws, chiseling builders and lend-
ers, and lax or crooked action by
Veterans ’ Administration em-
jacket and give it to the m«. who pioyes. It said many VA loan
guaranty workers seemed to think
the GI home loan program was
set up for the benefit of builders
rather than veterans.
It estimated 10 to 15 per cent of
current real estate costs in the
Washington area, particularly in
the low and middle price fields,
are a “direct result” of failure by
local VA loan guaranty officials to
set reasonable values on homes
bought by veterans with govern-
ment backing.
In a critical report on its In-
vestigation of the GI home loan
program, the committee urged
Congress to plug up loopholes in
the law so servicemen returning
from Korea won’t fall into the
same traps that have ensnared
many veterans of World War li-
lt warned that the federal gov-
ernment which guarantees up to
half of a GIs loan, on home, farm
or business, already is In hock for
$9266,999^99 on 2.861,000 loans to-
talling $17,841,OOOXXJO, and said the
government’s liability may climb
to $20 billion eventually.
The committee said it Is “im-
perative” that steps be taken to
protect the taxpayers’ Interests,
les the government end up paying
off inflated loans on jerry-built
houses. It said defaults have been
small so far because of the boom-
ing economy.
The committee, headed by Rep.
Olin E. Teague D-Tex., based its
report on its own investigations in
Washington and San Diego and
on studies by VA’s inspection-in-
vestigation service in these and
24 other cities.
It cited specific alleged abuses
in VA offices in Washington where
it recommended replacement of Elizabeth
