WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The
Home Loan system. under hotter
fire than any other federal emerg'
ency agency, is just beginning to
function. So
It's officials say they are conf
dent of excellent results.
But the fate of the distressed
home owner depends principally
on the willingness of mortgage
holders to accept in exchange for
their mortgages the four per cent
bonds of the Home Owners Loan
corporation which may be issued
up to $2,0O0,OOO,000.
BOND INTEREST
GUARANTEED
The government guarantees the
interest on these bonds but not the
principal. An official campaign,
led off by a personal appeal from
President Roosevelt, has been
waged to attract the sympathy Of
insurance companies. banks, build
ing and loan associations and other
mortgages to the bonds.
PessimiSts have held that the
bonds could not be unlOaded and
that most mortgages couldn't leg
ally exchange mortgages for them
in many states.
It has also been charged that
Chairman William F. Stevenson
of the Home Loan Bank Board
has made the system politicians
paradise and that there has been
unwarranted delay in getting 1t
started.
Congress endowed the corpora
ton with $200,0O0,0O0 capital
which may be lent in cash up to
40 per cent of the prOperty's pres
ent value when a MORTGAGE re-
fuses to accept bonds. But most
mortgages are for more than the
40 per cent of value. Bonds may
be exchanged for mortgages up to
so per cent of the property's pres
ent value.
ACT WIDELY
Misunderstood
Home Loan officials say they
are encouraged by a recent I'M
proved reaction to the bonds. The
R. F. c., Federal Reserve, Treas
ury and Postal Savings have all
announced that they will accept
the obligations in one way or an
other. Some success has been met
in getting legislation and official
rulings designed to make them
legal for investment by mortgage
holding corporations. The Pruden-
tial Life Insurance Company has
promised to accept bonds when
they represent the full amount of
its claims. The corporation itself
announced it would accept bonds
at par in payment of debts owed
to it.
Wi despread misunderstanding
exists as to the type of refinanc-
ing which can be undertaken I'M
der the law, according to Home
Loan officials. Applicants must
prove that they are in distress
that they can't meet payments,
taxes or other obligations on their
home. There is no intention now
of liberalizing that restriction.
GETS TO WORK RAPIDLY
The Home Loan Board is proud
rather than ashamed of the speed
with which it organized the cor
poration in As states. After the
act was signed on June 18th it had
to create the largest mortgage
business ever cOnceived-an OPP
Grafton involving billions of dol
lars and covering vast areas and
a. great population.
Officials had to be chosen and
quarters and supplies acquired. A
careful accounting and auditing
system had to be built up. Could
any private enterprise have done
faster JOB?
There isn't any answer to the
Charge of political partisanship in

ed when the body was carried out. They said their father had shown signs of insanity for two years.
 The strange battle which Ian- tare fought for hours against un. equal odds had started in late af- ternoon in Q seemingly minor in- cident.
 The farmer had come upon Alvin and Lawrence Boettner, neighbors, saving q tree. He ordered them to 20 away. Louis Boettnern, 70, father of the pair, said they had Q right to saw up the tree.
 Lantare left, returned with his shotgun, and fired both barrels at Louis Boettner. killing him. The
 Sheriff Holley went to Lantare's home with four deputies. Lantare peeped through the door and slammed 1t nj their faces. He showed himself at an upper win- dow 0 few minutes later.
 A deputy shot at him and he screamed and toppled over, appar- ently dead. The officers, led by Holley, entered the home and start ed up the stairs. Suddenly Lam tare appeared, shotgun in hand, and fired at the sheriff.
 Holley's companions picked up the officer but as they ran from the house the madman opened fire on them, wounding Deputies Othel Caldwell and Edward Rogers. They were forced to drop Holley. For an hour and a half the sheriff lay on the ground, rescuers unable to approach because of Lantare's bull lets.
 A riot call brought 100 officers from Gary, Crown Point tand other nearby cities. They surrounded the house and opened fire. Lantnre answered with snipers' bullets that cut down half dozen beseigers. Gas bombs were tossed at the house but Lantare had broken every window 50 the gas fumes were quickly blown away and did not bother him.
 Finally an armored bank truck was brought up from Hammond, Ind. The car was equipped with two machine guns which were loosed on the pullet-poc house. Deputies then set fire to the house with oil- soaked torches.
 Six men made their way into the house. They found Lantare and ended the struggle. Sheriff Holley died at Mercy hos pital at q. m.
 Lantare's daughters were at work when the battle broke out. They approached their home to find the siege in progress with bullets screaming about the house Hysterical, they watched the scores of riflemen shooting at their father.
 As the battle wore on they prayed that he would end his own life.

 Much disappointment was ex- pressed about the district to-day upon receipt of the news that the hearing will be private. It will be held in the Naugatuck borough court room. It is expected that the examination of witnesses will take about three weeks, Judge Gormley stated this morning.
 Eighty Der cent of the witnesses to be examined reside in the New Haven County end of the fifth dis trict, he said. Therefore, the Naug- atuck hearing Is expected to last over two weeks with two or three days being devoted to the examln- ation of witnesses in Torrington.

 Reporting immediately to him ie Dal Hitchcock, supervisor of re- search, one-time automotive re- search engineer and now collating and integrating the multiple activ- tiles of the continuing "energy sur- vey of tho North American conti- nent."
 An advisory committee of less than 20 scientists, each in Q spe- cialized field, forms the next groul, in technocracy's organization. In constant communication with Scott, whether by mail from their homes in inland industrial cities or at New York meetings, they ad- wise on aspects of the "energy sur. vey."
 Associated in the work arc ap- proximately 2,000 engineers, TO. search and laboratory Workers, Sci- entists in universities, private, in- dustrial and government research laboratories.

 Jan 17.-(Special to the Democrat) Representative Oscar Dannen- berg. democrat, of Bridgeport to- day introduced a resolution in the house calling for the elimination of ten legislative committees. Two of those he would eliminate are the committee on legislative ex- penses, of which Senator Lawlor is a member, and the committee on unfinished business, of which Sena- tor Hackett Is a member.
 In speaking in behalf of the bill Rep Dannenberg stated that they were obsolete and defunct. He also said they seldom if ever meet and should be abolished. Assign. ment to any of them practically amounts to disenfranchlsemen for the towns from which the repre- sentatives named to them come. In conclusion he said 1t was taxation without representation.
 Last week Rep Dannenberg, fol. 1 lowing the example of Rep Hogan democrat. of Torrington, resigned from the relatively unimportan, 1 committees to which the republican house leaders had named him. Hi resolution was referred to the com. mittee on rules.
 As soon as Rep Dannenberg ha( taken his scat. at.Representative Lud. low Lawrence Melius, republican of Cornwall Bridge, took the fiooi and resigned from the two com mttces to which he had been as signed. They were the committees on shell fisheries and now counties and county seats. Rep Mellus is on, of the bet known legislators iron western Connecticut and is serving his second term in tho House.
 Tn reslgning the gentleman iron Cornwall Bridge said, Must I sub init my resignation to you, MI Speaker or to MT Harry Macken. zie?" Action on his resignation wal deferred.

The two young women were badly shaken up, but uninjured and were able to continue on their way to their places of employment. Their car is in serious need of repairs.
 The accident occurred about 8 o'clock this morning. The slippery condition of the pavement was re- sponsible. Miss White attempted to swing to one side and to avoid a head-on crash against the railing. The machine swerved almost com- pletely about and the rear end of it crashed against the lower part of the railing.
 The particular intersection has witnessed several serious mishaps under similar circumstances in the past and Is one spot which auto- ists acquainted with the neighbor- hood approach with caution dur ing the winter months.
 The accident was investigated by Patrolmen Alfred Overton of the motor patrol and Jeremiah Huni- han from police headquarters.
