Five people Canada, Realtor Points Out Changes In Man Who Failed Appear In Court FHA Payments For Old Houses Given Jail Term Many Charlottesville area families are in a better position to become home owners as the result of recent changes in the law governing the operation of the Federal Housing Administration program, Joel M. Cochran, president of the local real estate board, said today. Of the greatest significance to residents who are contemplating the purchase of a home is the new FHA provision which makes it possible to buy an existing home with a substantially reduced down payment. "Under the new terms the FHA program," Cochran explained, "the house can be bought with a down payment less than that required up to now.
This results from the extension to existing houses of the financing provisions hitherto applicable only to new construction." Seven Per Cent The new low down payment is made possible by the increase in loan-to-value ratios for existing houses. The minimum down payment required on a home to be occupied by the borrower with FHA insurance is now seven per cent of the first $9,000 of FHA value, plus 27 per cent of the value above $9,000 up to $20,000. Under previous FHA provisions, the minimum down payment on such housing had to be 12 per cent of the first $9,000, plus 27 per cent of the amount above that figure. Cochran said that the significance of the new low down payment on existing homes to Charlottesville families stems from the fact that "the existing home market is greater and more varied than that for new houses." He said that two existing houses are sold for every new one. Another new provision that brings home ownership within the reach of a growing group of Charlottesville citizens, according to Cochran, is that providing new assistance to elderly persons desiring a home.
A person 60 or over buying a home with the proceeds of an FHA insured mortmay now borrow funds for gage both the down payment and settlement costs. "Both of these provisions designled to make home ownership easier This Pooch's Number Is Up Man Jailed For Trespassing Arrest Made Under 'Peeping Tom' Law A Montrose Avenue resident was sent to jail for 30 days in City Court this morning on a charge of trespassing brought after a housewife called police to report a "peeping tom." He was arrested in her yard. James David Peebles III, was sent to jail and fined $25. The jail time imposed this morning was a sentence set on a similar charge a year ago and suspended at that time. Peebles said he could assign no reason for being in the yard of Mrs.
Harry Dawson's home except that he had been drinking. Police recently have received a number of "peeping tom" complaints from the Montrose Avenue area and other parts of the city. New Law A new statute covering peeping toms was adopted by the General Assembly last winter and Commonwealth's Attorney L. W. Wood warned Peebles this morning that if he were re brought in again on the same charge, he would face the maximum penalty 12 months in jail and a $500 fine.
Peebles said he planned to move to Norfolk. Peebles was the first person tried in City Court under the new statute, to which he pleaded guilty, It makes it "unlawful to trespass on the property of another with intent to look into the windows" or to enter the house of another with any unlawful intent. In other cases in City Court today, Robert -Wade Salmon, of Rt. 5, was fined $25, given a suspended 30-day sentence and lost his driver's license for 60 days on a conviction of leaving the scene of an accident without identifying himself, and Bernice Ruth Thomas, Negro, of 12th SW, was fined $10 for reckless driving which led to an auto accident Monday night. Salmon's car struck a parked auto owned by Edward Chapman, of Monticello Aug.
12, springing the door and knocking off a strip of chromium. Salmon did not stay at the scene and identity himself as the law requires.

(P) Judge Walter E. Hoffman in U.S.
District Court day granted a temporary" injunetion opening the Portsmouth city park golf course to free and unrestricted use by Negroes. Hoffman indicated a permanent injunction will follow. The course has been open to Negroes only on Fridays. The request the injunction was filed in federal court Aug. 5 by a Negro attorney, Mrs.
Yolande Chambers. She represented three Portsmouth Negroes who said they had been refused admission to the course on a Tuesday and on a Sunday. At the start of today's hearing, Hoffman: said there were two major issues involved: (1) Does the City of Portsmouth operate the golf course? (2) Are Negroes refused admission solely on the basis of race? Portsmouth City Attorney R. C. Barciay admitted that the city operates the course and that Negroes are allowed admission only on Fridays.
If those are the facts, Hoffman said, the law left him no alternative but to open the course. He referred to various court decisions, including the 'supreme court school decision and the Seashore State Park case. Observing that federal decisions had established a pattern that ruled out segregated facilities, Hoffman said: "That's the law, I don't make the law but that's going to be the law in this court until it's repealed.
