DEFENDED BY FORT
Board Chairman Sees End
/ Of Repeal Move-Direct
I Credit Reports Lacking.

Although the IL regional banks have
been operating for 60 days. Chairman
Franklin w. Fort Of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board said yesterday ne had
not received a report from any Of the
Institutions announcing direct loans to
small home owners in distress.
At the same time, commenting on
the bill recently introduced by Senator
Borah, Republican. Idaho, seeking re-
peal of the bank act, because ne salo
it was of no direct benefit to the small
hcme owner in distress, Chairman Fort
asserted that after the board had been
in operation for another two months no
person would want the act repealed.
j. F. Lucey of Dallas, Tex. presl-
dent of the Little Rock Regional Bank,
told newspaper men that While MS m
stitution had on hand approximately
1000 direct loan applications, none SO
far had been approved.
Mr.. Lucey explained that an effort
was being made to get loans Tor this
class of applications through home
financing institutions in the district
which have become members OF the
new home reserve system.
The board chairman announced tnat
he had called on the Treasury for So
Ooo 900 of the SIPS ,00O, 900 made avail
able for capitalization by the Home
Loan Bank act and that the funds had
been distributed among institutions 10
Gated at Cambridge. Mass; Newark,
Pittsburgh. Winston-Salem, Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, Evanston, Des Moines and
Little Rock.
Applications for credit since Decem-
ber have been received from lib home
financing institutions, Mr.. Fort said
seeking loans amounting to $4,000, 900.
So far, he declared, the board has ap-
proved loans amounting to between $8,-
900 900 and 100000.
Declaring that the board had been
working harmoniously in settling mat
ters of policy incident to the function
ing Of the system, the chairman empha-
sized that new trails were being blazed
requiring some 6ebate, but that action
of four-member board had been unani-
nous.
Prior to commenting on the Borah
bill. Mr.. Fort said that home financing
institutions are cooperating now that
money has begun to flow through the
arteries Of the system in efforts to set
up clearing houses so that application
for direct loans can be directed to an
institution ready to make the loan.
He asserted that when voluntary
clearing houses are in full operation
the caring for pressing cases will be
greatly facilitated.

youthful escapade, which had ma
tional repercussions, was nearing
an end today as 17-year-old Joe
Fisher was back in the United
States after spending nearly a
year in jail in Tijuana, Lower
California.
Young Fisher, with Bob Monts
and Bert WEIGH, attempted to hold
up a taxicab. Monts was shot in
an encounter with police, and all
three youths were captured. They
were sentenced to be executed and
later were reprieved.
Fisher, a resident of Belvedere
Gardens, near here, was sentenced
to three years and seven months
in Jail. Monts gained his release
on bail, while WEIGH still is in
prison, and his asserted failure to
cooperate with those seeking his
release probably means he will be
forced to complete his sentence at

"A preliminary injunction de-
signed to prevent waste of gas in

Judge Strother also continued
until Feb. % a motion to set the
gas waste suit for trial, and took
under advisement a third motion
to take the case from the court
calendar.
Oil operators, through their at
torneys, sought to have the injunc-
ton suspended, claiming that they
not only conformed to all regula-
tions of the injunction, but they
went beyond them on their own
initiative to prevent gas waste.
James S. Bennett, attorney for

number of minor revisions in the
present injunction, Judge Strothel
indicated that he may grant them
later. a eey ~ul
The injunction grew out of an
action brought by the state to pre-
