HOME LOAN DRIVE
Declares Cooperation of
Home.F Financing Leaders Is
Sought by Board.

Discussing the work Of the newly
created Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, of which he is a member, H.
Morton Bodfish, in radio address last
night over Station WMAL, declared the
board is seeking the cooperation of the
leaders in the home financing business
and the chambers Of commerce in
securing subscriptions to its stock.
Eligible institutions in the District,
he said, can make their subscriptions
at the Chamber Of Commerce. in the
Homer Building, where the subscrip-
ton books for the District have been
officially opened.
1T is planned to canvass all eligible
institutions" Mr.. Bodfsh said. In
district No. 4, for example. which in
cludes the District of Columbia, these
number 1.o05, with total assets of ST.
O97.1s2. 900.
National banks and commercial banks
have their Federal Reserve System, MT
BodfSh said in his radio talk, given
during the regular Chamber OF Com
merce hour, and under the terms of
the home loan bank act are not eligi-
BILE for membership in the new system
Savings banks cannot be members of
the Federal Reserve System, and If they
are in the home financing business and
engaged in making long-term home
mortgages, he said, they are eligible
for membership in the Home Loan
Bank System.
Many insurance companies OF dif-
ferent kinds have substantial funds in
vested in home mortgages, and there
fore. they are eligible All building and
loar. associations likewise are eligible
and hundreds Of them, he said have
already indicated that they will take
| membership.
Subscription books were opened on
September IA and will be kept open for
30 days. At the end of that period,
Mr.. Bodfish said, the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation will supply that
portion of the capital which has not
been subscribed by eligible members.
Mr.. Bodfish corrected many erroneous
ideas concerning the benefits and pur-
poses Of the home loan bank act. The
system will not solve all of the prob
lens Of the home owner with mort
gage, he pointed out. nor will it solve
all the problems of the small investor
with a savings deposit or building and
loan account.
ut will help" he added, "but long
established and fundamentally sound
business principles must be fully re-
tanned in the administration and op-
Grafton Of the system"

BLACKMANS TO DIVIDE
CUSTODY OF CHILDREN
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, September IL
Alfred Blackman, teacher of Las
Vegas, New, and his former wife, Mrs.
Ethel Blackman, pretty college professor
of Memphis, Tenn, fought to draw
today in bitter legal tilt for custody
of their children.
Chancellor D. B. c. Howell ruled the
two daughters, Mary Ann, Z, and
Martha Elizabeth, 5, shall remain
with each parent a year at a time al
ternately.
Mrs. Blackman testified they agreed
when they were divorced in 1929 that
each could have the children a year
at a time, but he told the court the
divorce decree invested their custody
in him exclusively. She charged he
obtained them through "trickery' soon
after the divorce, and Blackman's at
torneys countered with argument to the
court that she came to Nevada a week
ago and kidnapped them"

VOW the Florence Crittenton
Home makes over the lives OF
unmarried mothers and pre-
i i pareS them for happy careers
in society was explained to a
WRC radio audience yesterday after
noon by Elwood Street, director Of the
Community Chest.
Delivering the twelfth of a series of
Little Journeys to the Homes of Great
| Services Director Street told how un-
fortunate girls are taken in by the
/, home for two months of prenatal care,
how they are trained in business or
| nursing and how, when they are ready
! to leave, efforts are made to keep them
| and their babies together for the sake
of tie mothers responsibility and the
babies well being
The home. now located in the old
Benjamin Lee Miner residence, 4759
Conduit road, was established in 1898
at 218 Third street. For the past eight
years il has been under the direction
of Miss Jean Cole. who has had 26
years service in Florence Crittenton
work.
"At the present time the home is full
| almost to capacity, with 81 girls and 46
babies" Street said. The average stay
is about eight months The home en-
| deavors to have the girls come two
months before the baby is born in or
der to give good prenatal care and
study their needs, SO as to make sure
that all goes well with mother and
child when the baby is born In gen.
eral, the mother stays until the baby is
6 months Old and weaned. Lately Miss
Cole has found it necessary to keep
M ny OF the girls longer because Of the
difficulty in finding work for them.
Often, if girl is fitting herself for
business or nursing, the home keeps
the child while the mother goes to
school. Sometimes she works in a
private family, earning money with
which to pay for her training. keeping
the child in the home and visiting him
frequently Experience shows that even
when matrimony is not possible, the
handling Of the mother and child much
as in the case of widow or deserted
mother and child, works out more
satisfactory than separating mother
and child.
"All the girls are taught all phases
Of houSeWork, and. Of course, help in
the conduct of the home. Arrange
ulent5 often are made for courses in
practical nursing. general hospital
| nursing, beauty culture. business train
ing, etc. The Board of Education pro-
vides a teacher in English, cooking
and sewing two nights week
Miss Cole blames petting parties
and the automobile, which so easily
gets away from all restraint and super
vision. for the difficulties of most of
her girls; plus, in some cases, the lack
of control created by the thoughtless
drinking Of a social glass Of liquor.
Although the home is under Protes-
tant auspices, all religious creedS have
been served there.
THE Theodore Smell Memorial Hos
pital. which is part of the home, is one
of the best equipped hospitals for
maternity service in Washington"

DEFINITE POLICY
ON DEBTS URGED
Newport Conference Is Told
U. S. Must Adopt New In
ternationaI Stand.
BY the Associated Press.

/ BY the Associated Press.
NEWPORT, r. l., September IL
George E. Sokolsky, authority on Far
Eastern affairs told the second Newport
conference today that the United
States must adept a definite policy in
regard to international affairs. particu-
larly in reference to intsr-allied debt
settlements and plans for world eco
scmic rehabilitation conferences.
Richard Washburn Child, former AM
bassador to Italy, presided at the con-
ference which was called to discuss the
proposition that world conference OF
economic leaders be held in America for
| the purpose of seeking world economic
| rehabilitation.
"A conference such as Is suggested
| today would be harmless" Sokolsky
said. but would do little good unless a
! previous step is taken, namely, to find
out what we want to confer about, and
make that our objective.
Cannot Be Altruistic.
"The United States can no longer be
| the altruistic Nation, offering to do this
or that fer other nations, for she is no
longer rich and prosperous and will not
| be for some time since Europe will Bit
terly resent our dumping American
goods abroad"
Sokolsky said his point need not be
hindrance to the proposed conference
| for an objective could easily be worked
out by meetings such as the Newport
| conference.
Whether such a conference was held
| in the United States or abroad was OF
less Importance than the attitude of ap-
proach and the point of view OF the
participants, Lathrop Stoddard OF Bos-
ton, economist and author. said.
The weakness of America to date In
all international affairs" Stoddard
held. has been a lack of appreciation
of the European point of view.
UNLESS we appreciate Europe's atti-
tude and divest ourselves of any sentl-
mental abstraction We are going to be
deceived. If we are to make this con-
with brutal realism. We must realize
Europe is anti-American and Is de-
termined to get out of paying the al
lied debts.
Trade Collapse Blamed.
I'VE must realize the difficulty of
holding such conference without
knowing just what we wish to accom-
plish. Otherwise We will find the
United States making all the sacrifices
and getting nothing in return other
than futile protocols"
Mark o. PrentiSS, founder Of the
National Crime Commission. said the
economic condition of the United States
could be laid largely to a collapse of
foreign trade and that the Nation tend
ed to overemphasize the burden OF for
eign debts.
Il would suggest" he said, chat we
tell each country to pay what is due
this year and then if they buy as much
next year as during the current year
we give them an equal amount Of our
goods.
I'VE can give it in farm produce or
in industrial goods without harm, but
we cannot afford to cancel debts"
E. P. Dillon of the American Defense
Society said his organization would in
dorse such a conference, as did several
ether speakers.
telegram was read from Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt saying he IA
vored the plans for such conference.
The final session of the meeting will
be held tomorrow.
