LOCAL BANKS TO CONSIDER CASES
 ON MERIT ALONE
Two Foreclosures Were in Court To-day Before
 Judge Jennings

Waterbury ranks holding mort gages upon which application for their payment have been made to the Home Owners Loan Corpora ton will treat each application upon its merit, it was indicated today when two such cases came before Judge Jennings in superior court.
 In the first case, 1t was stated by counsel representing the Dime Sav- ings Bank, that the bank was not willing to accept the bonds for which application had been made to the local Home Loan office. In the second case, counsel rep resenting the Waterbury Savings Bank, stated the bank was willing to accept.
 Both banks are now the same institution by reason of the merger of the Waterbury Savings, Dime Savings and West Side Savings several months ago. At the time the mortgages were transacted. however, the banks were operating individually.
 First Case Decided
 The first case was that of the Dime Savings Bank against Kos tanty .Zawistowski. The foreclos- ure judgment was entered several months ago in the amount of $5,200. The principal of the first mortgage is $4,500, the accrued in- terest making the difference. Attorney c. M, Lukosius ap- peared for the defendant. stating the home owner was anxious to keep his home and desired an ex. tension of the law which is Mon- day. Judge Jennings granted the extension to January 8, not because application had been made to the Home Loan office for a loan, but on the basis of the home owners wish to keep his property. the court explained.
 Attorney W. w. Gager stated that investigation of the property and the bond application made il appear to the bank that it could not
 accept the bonds. The chief ap'
 praiser for the Home Loan office
 stated in his opinion the property
 8 three family house with all apart
 ments rented, was worth $5.000.
 MT Gager pointed out to tn
 court that the Home Loan offic'
 could only loan up to 80 per cen of the appraised value. Since tn,
 debt is $5,200 and the Home Loaf
 office only able to loan $4.000, Nil
 Gager explained it would not be { good investment, in the bank, opinion. He also pointed out that | $500 addition in back taxes would have to be deducted so that tho bank, in reality would receive but $3,700 against it's $5,200 debt. Judge Jennings questioned Mi Lukosius as to the income of the property. He learned that the
 home owner, his wife and daughter have secured employment and tha:
 the property is all rented. The court then granted the law day. The Second Case
 In the second case, The Dime
 Savings Bank. drought its counsel
 Attorney T. V. Meyer, explained
 that the amount of debt was about $2,500. An application has beer made to the Home Loan office for
 an appraisal. The property is ( 4 one family house. Tn this case. the
 appraisal will be higher than tht
 amount of the. mortgage debt 'and
 the bank will be willing to accept
 the bonds.

 Paris, october 27. - (UP)-- Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was back at the scene of his world triumph today struggling vainly to be a private citizen instead of hero worshipped by excitable persons who had not forgotten his New York Paris flight of 1927.
 Missing for many hours in a storm that ragged along the British and French coasts. Lindbergh and his wife flew from Inverness, Scot land, to land secretly at the naval seaplane testing station near Paris and go unobserved to the Crillon hotel.
 While they slept, airport attaches all over Great Britain and France watched anxiously for them. They awolse to-day to find thousands of Parisians. deserting their jobs, massed outside their hotel in the historic Concorde Square where Louis XVI was guillotined. Dismayed, the Lindberghs al once changed to room facing or a side street and seemed at a loss as to what to do.

 wiggin made $10.425, 5,667.o2 in five years through three personally owned corporations. One of them went 60,000 shares short in 1929.
 Aldrich at first implied that wiggin had created an "artificiap market in the banks stock. He later asked that word be with drawn. While wiggin was piling up mill lions the banks own trading was less fortunate. although 1t finally squeezed out q S156,614.27 profit.
 Wiggin told the committee that when his Sherman Corporation went short 6O,000 shares in 1929 his entire family holdings gave him a net long position.

NEEDLEWORK GUILD

Calls Attention to Urgent Need of Relief in
 Some Families

Things are getting better. It Is told on all sides. The MIRA has provided moro work. There is more money to spend. There is more hope for the future. But the i'm. mediate present is still very dark for Q great many people. Even those who have jobs after months of idlenoss have debts to pay, nos cessities to buy, before they can turn their money to the lighter things of life. Many men, women and children will wear make-shift clothes this year while the money which comes in Is used for other things. Therefore the drive for members of the Needlework Guild is as necessary as ever. Member ship dues are the gift of two new garments.
 The s. family have been on the edge of tragedy for three years. In the beginning when MT s. was hurt so badly, there was another income in the family and there were savings accounts and inter est from investments. Gradually these all disappeared until recently the S. family found itself drawing the last out of the last savings ac- count and facing the future with no income whatever, the invest ment interest having stopped be- cause of the depression. There is a high school girl. She earned two dollars last week taking care of babies and with itsshe bought a new sweater for her little sister in the grades. That high school girl is an honor student wearing q patched coat to her school. If someone gave the Needlework Guild a girls coat, 1t would make her life happier. She has made her sacrifices without complain ing. Ff
