Gordon of U. S. Deputy marshals
and agents fortified the Compton

the heavy guard after receiving re-
ports that gangsters were plotting

urban jail. The tips gained Gre
dence by the reported discovery OF
a map, Sketching the jail's inter-
ior.
Among the federal prisoners are

man, recently returned from Lea
venworth federal prison TO Califor-

COAST FOREST
FIRE SPREADS

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 26. U.R
An appeal for aid brought REIN
torcements today to two sections
of Santa Barbara national forest
as fires raging out of control
threatened new destruction.
Fire fighting forces were swelled
to more than 1000 when 200 re-
cruits joined wearied Civilian Con-
solvation Corps workers in the
Monterey region. The youths, aug
mented by forest rangers, have car
ried on losing fight against a
3,000-acre blase since Sunday.
More than 10000 acres, includ-
ing some of The finest timber land
in the state, have been laid waste
by a fire raging in the Big Pine
area. Cries of trapped mountain
liors, coyotes and small game irdi-
Gated a heavy loss of wild life.
One group Of fire fighters mar
rowly escaped being trapped when
flames leaped over their heads,
starting a back fire behind them.
The crew was forced to abandon
equipment in a hurried dash to
safety.
The fire spread to the Coulter

exceed $4,000 in appraised valua-
ton and no loan will exceed $4,000.
No commercial property will be
considered for the loans.
The speaker pointed out that
there will be no cost or fee in con-
nection with the filing of loan
application and all such applica-
tions must be made at present
through the financial institutions
of the valley or through those who
are holding the mortgage. The prop
erty upon which such loans are
sought, he said, may be either in
side or outside of an incorporated
city, but it must be used primari-
ly as home This will be insisted
upon in every case.
Three Types of Loans
Goree pointed out that the COR
poration will make thre types of
loans on homes:
(a) For 80 per cent of the asses
sed valuation bearing interest at
five per cent. This may include
q cash advance to cover taxes, in
terest. delinquent payments. ETC.,
provided it does not exceed the per-
centage of the loan allowed and
the mortgage agrees to take GER
tain bonds to be issued in con-
nection with the loan setup in eX-
change.
(b) Loans in case on unincumb-
cred property for taxes, ETC., not to
exceed so per cent of the assessed
valuation to bear interest at per
cent.
'(c) A cash advance not to exceed
SO per cent of the assessed valua-
ton. This loan would bear interest
at per cent.
AS to repayment of these loans it
is provided that sum estimated
at $7.89 per thousand dollars per
month will be required. This is to
be applied over period not to
exceed Is years. Should the borrow
er enjoy a good reputation for pay
ing up his obligations previous to
filing the application for the loan
payments may be waived for per-
iod of three years should the cor
poration consider the security suf-
ficient to justify such action.
AS a summary Goree stated that
the main purpose of the act and
resulting corporation is to afford
relief by the government to home
owners and the moral character
of the borrower will always be TAX
en- into consideration when such ap-
plications are received.
He further stated that another
meeting will be held next Tuesday
evening at 8 o'clock in the chamber
of commerce office for all real es-
tate brokers and representatives of
loan companies in the valley. At
this meeting the present se%p
will be explained again as it was
