HOME CONTRACTORS
SEEK 100000, 900
Would Have U. S. Supply Credit
and Tax-Exempt Houses of
$4,000.

Adequate Government credit for the
home building industry, to total at least
$1,000,0 100000, is being sought by the
Home Builders and Land Developers
Committee following a conference in
Cleveland. Ohio, of several hundred
representatives of industry. The Or
ganiZation is on record as opposing con-
structions of homes by the Government
itself, basing its opinion partly on the
result of such efforts during the World
War
The committee has made plea for
tax-exemption of homes up to $4,000 in
value as the means of reviving the con-
struction industry and affording relief
to home owners who are now struggling
to hold their property
A poll taken at the meeting showed
q total of S268 ESQ, 900 wanted immedi-
ately in 81 cities to finance construction
of new moderate-priced dwellings for
which orders are said to be on hand.
The total for six States, including
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Alabama, Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia, was given as half a billion dol
lars. Lack of first mortgage finance "ls
sitting the great business revival, with
all other factors, including the public,
ready to go forward" according to Don
A. LOTUS, elected permanent chairman
of the home builders and developers Or
ganizatjon, which will have its head
quarters in Cleveland.

'SCORNED' GIRL
IS SOUGHT IN

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 Q.N.S).
Theories of mistaken identity"
definitely abandoned, police to-
day sought a young and beauti-
full Russian woman" for ques-
tioning in connection with the
Staying of Aaron scherwin, and
the serious wounding Of his wife,
Charlotte.
The young woman, according
to Detective Lieut.. John OSnato,
had been friendly with Scherwin,
28.year-old Brooklyn attorney, be-
fore his marriage II months ago.
Shot Near Home
Scherwin was shot to death, and
his wife wounded last night as
they walked home from a party
at a friends residence. OSnato
said:
I'VE know where to find the
girl and we expect to have her
for questioning within q few
hours.
Meanwhile, it is my opinion,
and the opinion of the men
working with me on the case,
that Schwerin and his wife
were not victims Of mistaken
identity, but that they were
shot down in cold blood. Who
ever fired the shots knew when
and where to find them. They
were killed within earshOt Of
their home"
Schwerwin and his wife, who Is
an expectant mother, were walk
ing home about midnight-arm in
arm. Not until they had come
out in the full glare Of a street
lamp we're they sprayed with lead,
which spat from a revolver in
the shadow of an automobile
parked at the curb.
Gun Is Found
The revolver was found in the
street short distance fHom the

Milton Cells. IS, who lives near
the scene, told police of hearing
six shots in rapid succession, and
of seeing two men suddenly ap-
pear and walk rapidly away. One
of the men got into an auto,

tinued walking briskly until he

TRADE MAY AID
CARDINALS

NEW YORK, May 8.-The St.
s-Cincinnati trade yesterday
which brought Shortstop Leo
Durocher to the Cardinals, made
them dangerous contenders for
the National League pennant
but may spell curtains" for
Rogers Hornsby, seven times
league batting champion.
With Durocher at Shortstop,
Frisch moved back to second
base to replace Hornsby, and
with a fine pitching staff, St.
Louis has the best defensive
team in the league. Hornsby,
troubled by weak underpinning
in his comeback attempt, is
relegated to the role Of utility
1nfielder and pinch hitter. He
may not survive the houseclean-
ing when the reduced player
limit goes into effect a week
from today.
Six players were involved in
the latest link in the big chain
of st. Louis-Cincinnati trades.
The Cardinals acquired Duro-
cher and two veterans pitchers,
John Ogden and Dutch Henry,
whom they will ship to the
minors. Cincinnati got Sparky
Adams, third baseman, and two
pitchers, Paul Derringer and
Allyn Stout. Derringer won IS
games in 1881, his first year
with St. Louis. Last year he
won II and lost IA.
Durocher and Adams broke in
with their new teams yesterday.
Durocher got two hits and
fielded in his usual brilliant
style. Joe Morrissey replaces
him as the Cincinnati short
stop.
The trade, made on an even
basis, was considered a good one
for both clubs.
