Police were enroute to Kings- ton this morning to take Ford into custody on the murder charge. He had been questioned there shortly after the body was found. For weeks authorities had attempted to identify the body as that of Mrs. Ford, widow of an automobile dealer in North York, The warrant, sworn out at city hall, was taken to Kingston by Insp. Jim McBride of the provincial police and Det: Sgt. Rod Marsh of Toronto police, IDENTIFY BODY OPP announced early today that the hadv had heen identi fied. Assistant OPP Commis- sioner Harold Graham said: "There is more than. one way to identify a body," Police said the charge was laid in Metropolitan Toronto be- cause ory believe the slaying conmrved ere and Mrs, Ford's body was taken to Lake Couchi- ching afterward. Wayne was the only child of Mr. and Mrs, Lorne Ford.

Today's charge followed more than a month of sifting evidence and following leads in the case. In October, Commissioner Graham said six pieces of evi- dence convinced OPP that the body was that of Mrs. Ford. The points, as he outlined them: --The finding in the water near where the body was re- covered, of a plastic bag with an Algiers hotel label on it. Mrs. Ford's husband obtained it at @ Shrinere' convention at Miami Beach, Fla., in 1960. ~The body showed no signs of healed fractures and Mrs. Ford had never had any broken. bones, hysical characteristics, hat height and age were identical, --The right hand of the corpse showed an arthritic condition. Mrs. Ford suffered from arth- ritis in: her right hand. ~The body had evidence of a tooth extraction in the right gum. Mrs. Ford had a similar extraction. Slippers with red stains, found with the body were identified as being Mrs. Ford's. One slipper was siiii on itis body when found and another was discovered next to the box that police believe held the body for three years. OTTAWA (CP)--If you were counting on a National Housing Act loan to make you a home owner, you'll have to count a bit higher today. The government lifted the in- terest rate on NHA loans to 7% per cent from 6% as of 10:30 p.m, EST Tuesday. The announcement by Labor Minister Nicholson, who reports to the Commons for the NHA, came without warning to avoid any immediate impact on the stock market, It drew dissent from opposition benches. The minister said the in- crease was caused by the "vir- tual withdrawal of private long- term investment funds from the residential mortgage sector." The Commons finance com- mittee was told earlier , Tues- day that loans from" private el aad ont, aaa top. this|the year from the same period in 1965. CENTRAL MORTGAGE FAILS Mr, Nicholson said Central Mortgage and Housing Corp, tried to take up some of the slack with direct NHA loans but this hadn't worked. Borrowers able to obtain loans on the "conventional market. have been forced to pay eight per cent or better for this privi- lege."'

The higher interest won't af- fect NHA loans for residences for elderly persons, low-income families, sewage treatment pro- jects and. university housing projects.

The country's 32,000,000 peo- ple still do not know who their next chief of state will be--or when he will take over from Franco. But they know he is scheduled to be a king and how he will be chosen. The leading contenders are Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon, 28-year-old grandson of the last king who is considered Franco's choice, and the prince's father, Don Juan, a 54-year-old exile in Portugal. Franco made his proposals Tuesday in a long-awaited ad- dress to the Cortes (pariia- jment), which immediately ap- proved the laws by acclama- tion. They will be submitted to ja national referendum and ap- proval is considered certain. KEEPS PARTY BAN Franco offered to snip off {some of his autocratic. powers paring a new public housing program for families earning as much as $10,000 a year. Mr, Randall said in an inter- view details of the plan will be released "within the next few months." "It is time for us to get away from the idea that publicly- hould involve only the needs of the lower one- third in the national income scale." He indicated the new program will follow roughly the estab- lished policy of the Ontario Housing Corp., whereby Ottawa and the province buy land and service it.
