WASHINGTON, March Id (By The

army aircraft and personnel at Langley
Field, Virginia, is for the purpose of con-

naval air forces.
This is the first opportunity we
have had" the official said, "for any
real training since the end of the war.
We expect to have at Langley Field
before the bombing tests take place
about 100 planes of all types, including
more than a score of the new big
Martin bombcrs AVID the necessary per
sonnel. The bombing flight training
periods also will give pilots from other
posts an opportunity TO attend the air
service officers school at Langley
Field"
The fiers already at Langley Field
and those who have been ordered to
report there are being trained in flying
over the water and dropping bombs at
moving targets on the surface OF the
ocean, officers said. Other tests are
being conducted over the land against

ton in the City Queried
ON Methods of Business

A questionnaire dealing with the
building loan and mortgage situation
was sent to practically every financial
institution in the city yesterday by
Leonard NJ. Walstein, Of counsel for
the joint legislative committee on
housing, of which Senator Charles c.
Lockwood is chairman. The fifteen
questions it contains are drawn up in
conformity with the new powers vested
in the committee by the recent resolu-
tions of the Legislature.
The questions cover all the alleged
bad practices which investigation by
the committee is reported to show have
existed in the financial end of building
operations. Among them are the fol
lowing:
IF any part of the loan was paid in
securities, state: "a Nature OF the
securities, giving particulars. (B) At
what value were they computed in pay
ing the amount of the loan? Co What
was the market value of said securities
at the date of the loan ?"
This question is designed TO cover
the alleged practice of financial insti-
tutions in compelling individuals to
sell Liberty bonds below the market
value as a condition to the granting Of
the loan sought. According to infor-
nation in the hands OF the committee.
it is said that the frequent practice
was to compel the sale of Liberty
bonds at SIS for the 500 denomina-
tons
Another question Is framed as fol
lows: can itemized statement show
ing the nature, amount and recipient Of
each and every charge for services and
disbursements, directly or indirectly.
paid by the borrower in connection
with the loan"
According to information in posses
sion of the committee, it is said that
mortgages were increased over the
legal 6 per cent by means of bonuses,
fees and other charges, which IN some
cases brought the amount of the inter
est paid by the borrower up to 10 per
cent. The difficulty of obtaining mort
cages compelled the borrower to accede
to these terms.
The fourteenth question of the ques
tionnare reads as follows: Did the
borrower at or about the time of the
negotiation or obtaining of the loan.
directly or indirectly, purchase any
property in which your institution or
any of It's officers, agents or employees
we're directly or indirectly interested,
and if so state the address and nature
OF such property and the amount paid
therefor by the lender and to whom
stating name and address,"

Spe- cial difficulty to find wheat for ex- port was noted, and advices from all sections of the west told of only light movement from farms and of bad condition of country roads. or ange rust was said to be increasing in southern Kansas. Opening quo tations which ranged from A 1se higher with May 135 to 1854 and July 1091s to 110a were followed by material gains all around. , Corn sympathized with the upturn in wheat. After opening unchanged to 7sc higher, including July at 62 to 6214, the market continued to harden.
 Oats were lifted by the action of other cereals, starting 1s off to 1sc higher, July 3S to 3SH and later showing slight gains all around.
