PLANS TO AID
HOME OWNERS
Howard E. Lynch Jr., Dis
trict Manager, Gets Advice
From Federal Home Bank
FOR MORTGAGE OWNERS

Howard E. Lynch, Jr., District
Manager and Counsel for Home
Owners Loan Corporation for
Kent County, with offices in the
Central Law Building, Dover, has
received from the Federal Home
Bank Board a statement, outlin-
ing the principles upon which the
Corporation will fulfill its func-
tions with greatest advantage to
all holders of home mortgage
i1oans eligible under the Home
loan Act of 1888 Addressed to
mortgage-holders who now face
the alternative of foreclosure or
the sacrifice of past due and fu-
ture interest, the statement said:
Inquiries from many thousands
of mortgage owners ask whether
to accept the 4 per cent bonds of
the Corporation in exchange for
mortgage loans in difficulty which
they now hold. The Board makes
clear that the holder would bene-
fit by acceptance to the extent
that he would exchange an in
vestment now yielding little or
no return for we'll secured bonds
paying 4 per cent income, inter4
est guaranteed by the United
States Government, during the
18-year life of the bonds, such in
come being exempt from all taxes
except surtaxes and estate, in
heritance and gift taxes. A sec
ond question asked by many such
holders of mortgages is whether
the per cent Corporation bonds
may be sold or redeemed at their
full face value at any time. Thei
Home Owners Loan Act was
passed, not for the purpose of Civ
ing such holders cash for their
mortgage loans, but as a con-,
structive means or relieving both.
the lender and the borrower by
providing sound longterm loan
under Federal supervision. The
principal of the bonds is secured
by amortized mortgages upon
homes fairly and reasonably ap-
praised, and is not due for pay
ment for 18 years. The price; of
the bonds, therefore. subject to
the law of market supply and de-
mand in exactly the same man
ner as any other high grade un-
matured obligation. The bonds,
if accepted and held by investors
who fully understand their mer-
its and who wish to enjoy income
guaranteed by the United States
Government would presumably
command a stable market price
consistent with their quality and
with prevailing money rates" The
announcement concludes by en-
phasizing that investors who sell
the bonds below their face value
would defeat his own interests,
since he would find it difficult to
invest the proceeds with equal
safey in other securities paying
an equivalent income return. The
statement illustrates this by the
fact that if the bonds are sold at
a price of 80 for example, the m
vestor would find it necessary to
place such funds in other tax-ex-
empt securities paying 5 per cent
or more in order to obtain as
high an income as the 4 per cent
yield guaranteed by the Corpora
tion bonds.

Pronouncing Names

A good deal of needless grief has been caused by the pronouneiatons indicated in an Associated Press list of Chinese words found in the war news. 'Rey-ho" for 'Jehol'' is baffling. An ordinary fellow feels like giving up. What to do! Well. we couldn't pronounce these words as the Chinese do even if they told us how. be- cause we cant make their sounds. More over. they differ in their own pronounca- ton. And 10 top il all, their own spoken words arc not written They have no al- phabet, Their writing is symbolic picture writing expressing ideas, not sounds. The Roman alphabet in which we write their names merely expresses the sounds as Euro peans have understood them. And this alphabet itself represents different sounds in different languages.
 Now, coming down to cases. take that Jehol If it is pronounced anything like 'rey -ho then the spelling "Jehol' was probably established by German or other continental in whose language "J' IS pro- nounced like our English "Y'' and "E' like our "A. That would make "Yay-hold, Probably the original sound SO interpreted is neither R" nor "Y'' but somewhere be- tween the two. And the Occidental lnguIa who put in that final ''l'' must have heard something. which was probably a vanishing liquid sound somewhere between our 'T' and nothing, Similar considerations will apply 10 other words, We might as well pronounce the words thc way they look. That is the way the English usually do with foreign names, And if we happen 10 be wrong about the Chinese ndmes-weI everybody else IS probably wrong, too,

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
Worn-Out Code Still
 Accepted by These Folk

"F ow c Ing Wilderness" by John GaIsworthy, is n book re- markable chiefly fo. It's strange at- mosphcre of unreallty.
 It is unreal. probably, because 1t gives, with painstaking minute- ness, a picture of society and n code which have vanished. It deaIs with values which are no longer current. It's people seem as out of place in the present age as tho conquistadorB of old Mex leo.
 The novel concerns itself chiefly with D!nny Charwcll, daughter of an incredibly aristocratic English family. Dlnny falls in love with n man who has just returned from 10 years in Arabia and it's envir- ons, q hectic young poet .who, It develops, has sinned against tho code.
 what the young man did. you sec, was this:
 A fantaticai Arab captured him and vowed to kill him unless he accepted Mohammedanism. Since the lad had long since given up the last vestiges of his faith in any religion, he quite sensibly com- piled and saved his life. But when news of 1t reached upperclnss London theer was n terrible fuss.
 He had "let England down.; he had failed to be n "pukka sa- hib." His club forced him to res sign. A. horse e-breeding country gentleman tried to horsewhip him: Dinnys family almost died Of shame. And In the end he found that he himself couldn't live It down; so Dinny's romance went to pot, but Englnnd's honor, or sorne- thing, was avenged.
 Pubuished by Scribner's, tho book is pricved at $2.50.

 It is unfortunate that no such understanding exists between tho states md the federal g0verpment. There iB not only n present dupll- . cation in many taxes but tho tend ency is n growing ono.
 Tho federnf income tax is now duplicated in wholo or in part in most of tho states, including Con- necticut, which has applied the in- come tax idon to corporations but not to individuals. The estate tax, originally confined wholly to states, hnH been taken I'D by tho federal gOVornmeDt.

We quite agree with the idea of extending the terms of our governors to four years. Connecticut is good example of the need of that. And with hostile Leg islature it is sometimes impossible for gov ernor to push through his program in even four years. As for presidential term of but four years that is unthinkablc Six years is much better but isn't it an infringement upon our rights to deny the electorate the privilege of returning man to ofIicc'

Former Governor Frank O.

Impeachment Pending


 if. as has been reliably reported. Governor Wilbur L. Cross and other democratic lead CTS are considering impeachment proceedings against senators or representatives who may traffic in patronage the democratic party in Connecticut is at a low stage, This can't be the party that broke down republican barriers in i930 and fortified them further last fall. After making such inroads into ter ritory long regarded as mpregnablc we certainly can't believe that there arc members of the attacking force weak enough to sue. cumb to the lure of promises. It is natural that differences should exist in the democratic party of Connecticut, What party doesn't have them' But il isn't natural for demo. erats with complete state control at their ! finger tips to dleker over the question of patronage with their opponents, . That's what makes us suspicious of the entire episode of rumorcd dcserllon But when Governor Cross and others consult Section 6l69 of the General Statutes we wonder if something may not be amiss. This statute deals.wth the impeachment of legis- latoB who sell or trade their votes for pat fonage rights, Certainly the caucus held yes terday by democratic senators revealed nothing more than the fact that the eighteen members arc not yet united in one common cause, Until the contrary IS proved there need be no further mention of impeachment !. But we would be the first to suggest just some such action if it can be shown that democratic member of the Senate would profit by casting bis vote with the republican minority on partisan issues,
 E We don't doubt but what hc republican leaders of Connecticut would like to cause dcfcetion in democratic ranks in the Sen. ate. The bare majority of one vote was just enough 10 suggest some such scheme to them, And we feel sure that they are capable of suggesting openly that one or more mem befs join the minority on various bills 10 their own individual profit, Loss of state patronage by the E. 0, p, two years ago was ineonsIderabIe Loss of il this year would seriously crack the much .vaunled machine ibat the republicans have built up in lhc last twenty years And with State Chairman Rorabaek withdrawing more and more from contact with things political in an active scasc prctcnders 10 the throne are adopting any method 10 secure their ends,
 That is no reason. however, for any democratic legislator 10 sell out his party Such an action is incxcusabIc It certainly will spell lhc end of that man, political career in tbe democratic party, It cant be covered up as every vote m thc senate will be so closely examined as to exclude all ops ponun,y for subtcriuge or covering up of any dcfcetion, No. there can only be com . plete show down in lhc next few days There is no dcscuion in democratic rank, or there is. And all the edueuscs in lhe world can't change that Only a vote in rhc Senate on some issue, such as | disputed court judgcship. will end the argument and result in joy or sorrow in both parties.

There's apparently no longer any doubt about what Mrs Nettle Gar ner K going to do after Speaker Jack Garner becomes vice pres ident. She insists that sho is going to keep right on being his Becre- tary.

When Mrs Gif- ford Pinchot invited her Co tho ex- ecutive mansion at Harrisburg she sent her automobile to the airport here to drive the president elects wife 120 miles to tho pennsylyania capital. Mrs Roosevelt was met at tho airport by Harry Slattery, the inc0nspicu0us publioity-shy Wash ington lawyer who is described by liberals and progreBsiycs as the most useful man in private life here from the standpoint of the public welfare.
