Board of Trade Ready to
Launch Most important
Phase of Program.

With the District Bankers Associa-
ton reiterating that Its 5000 pool
created for home improvement loans is
still available, the Washington Board
Of Trade was prepared today to launch
into the most important phase Of its
Renovize Washington Campaign-the
opening Of the renovizing exposition at
1435-37 K street tomorrow night, and
the displaying Of the remodeled house
at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue at the same time.
: George o. Vass. newly elected presi-
dent Of the District Bankers Associa-
ton, pointed out that Washington home
owners still have until August 10 to take
out applications for loans for moderni-
zation work in connection with the
renovize campaign.
Money Still Available.
The fact that a number Of Washing
ton banks are still unopened does not
affect the status Of the home improve
ment loan pool, Mr.. Vass said. Every
member bank of the association Is pre-
pared to advance up to $500 to indi-
vidual home owners, whether they are
depositors Of the bank or not, he said,
the only requirement being a satisfac-
tory Endorsement by responsible de-

In order to make repayment OF
these loans easy to borrowers" Mr..
Vass said, 'they will be payable In
equal monthly installments, with mini
mum payments Of $40 a month, but all
loans must be repaid in II months or
less. Loans will be granted to home
owners whose equity in their property
and their ability to repay the new loan
is satisfactorily demonstrated to the
bank"
Architects VIII Advise.
To secure a loan, an application
form, available at the Renovize Cam
paign headquarters, 22l Star Building,
or at any bank, is filled out and filed.
A representative Of the banks will be
present at the renovizing exposition on
K street. beginning tomorrow. to aid
prospective renovizers in making plans
for their work.
In addition, the American Institute
of Architects will have competent men,

Oldest i. S. Sailor
Paid Tribute in
Coodby to Service
Isaac o. Castles, Who
Joined Navy in 1873,
Goes in Retirement.
BY the Associated Press.


SAN DIEGO, Calf. July 8-At IS,
Chief Boatswain's Mate Isaac o. Castles
retired as Uncle Sans oldest sailor to-
day, with a service record dating back
to 1873, before many of the admirals
now on active duty were born.
1t was gala occasion at the destroyer
base when the man who had served
before the mast of the Navy's famous
old square-rigged clippers and on the
steel decks of its modern dreadnaughts
was mustered out.
Capt. c. w. NimitZ. commander of
the base, called a special inspection Of
the crew in Castles honor, and the re-
firing sailor, with grandchildren as old
as some OF them, bade formal good
by to his shipmates.
The grand old man Of the enlisted
ranks had not served continuously in
the uniform he donned go years ago as
a boy fresh from the farm near Armo,
Wis, where he was born in 1858. He
left the sea and spent 40 years on a
farm near Salem, Greg, re-enlisting in
1918 to do his bit on transport dur
ing the World War. Twenty years of
service completed. he became eligible
Immediately after being discharged for
Aumsville, Greg, where he owns farm
and where his family lives.
But Castles had served at either end
of period Of remarkable development
in the United States Navy.
"The old Navy and the new" Castles
said, contrasting the Navy Of the '70s
with that Of 1888, they are as differ
ent as chalk and cheese. There has
been no greater change in the ships
than there has been in the organiza-
ton, discipline, food and accommoda-
tions for the sailors.
when I first joined the service there
was very little difference between serv-
ing in the Navy and on merchant
ship. Nothing was said about desertion,
provided you had a good record. I
served more time than I have been
credited with because left some ships
to go to others which looked a little
better, without asking leave.
Hard tack and salt horse satisfied
us then, but it certainly was terrible
compared with the sailors fare today.
Balanced diets, fresh vegetables, variety
we never heard Of them"

FARM CREDIT PLAN
WILL Be EXTENDED
Wisconsin Scheme of Ref
nancing Mortgages Held by
! Closed Banks Praised.

Early extension of the Wisconsin plan
for refinancing farm mortgages held by
closed banks and banks operating under
restrictions to one State in each Of the
IL Federal Land Bank districts is
planned by the Farm Credit Admins
tration.
Gov. Henry Morgenthau. jr.. of the
administration, was described yesterday
as satisfied with the progress made so
far In Wisconsin where approximately
$35 5,000, 900 has been made available for
the purchase of up to $50,000,000 In
farm mortgages held by banks there.
The refinancing Is being done with one
condition attached. that the banks
make the funds quickly available to de-
positors.
Later, the plan Is to be extended to
all States and up to $500, 900 900 will be
available Of the $4,000 900 900 set aside
for ref1nancing farm mortgages through
the Federal Land Banks.
Appraisals Of farms in Wisconsin are
being made at the rate Of about 100
day with large corps Of appraisers
placed in the field since the program
was undertaken on June 10. Wisconsin
is being used as testing ground to de-
termine the value of the program, OF
which officials are already convinced.
Mortgages may be taken over by the
credit administration for a sum not In
excess Of one-haf Of the appraised, nor
NAL value of the land plus one-flfth of
the permanent, insured improvements.
If the old mortgage is for sum greater
than this, it will have to be scaled down
to meet this condition. Morgenthau
looks for scaling down generally of
about 80 per cent.
The credit administration today quot
ed Gov. Schmedeman of Wisconsin as
saying:
Much has been accomplished within
q short time. There Is the fullest CO.
operation between the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration and State officials. I feel
sure that funds to be released on farm
mortgages together with other relief
will go long way toward rehabilita-
ton"
