ROOSEVELT MESSAGE
DEMANDING AID TO
SMALL HOME OWNERS
Continued From First Page.)

that to protect home owners from
inequitably enforced liquidation, in
time of general distress, is
proper concern of the Government
THE legislation I propose follows
the general lines of the farm mort
gage refinancing bill. The terms are
such as to impose responsible
charge upon the national Treasury
consistent with the objects sought.
1T provides machinery through
which existing mortgage debts on
small homes may be adjusted to a
sound basis of values without injus-
tice to investors, at substantially
lower interest rates and with pro-
vision for postponing both interest
and principal payments in cases of
extreme need.
I ''The resources to be made avail
able through a bond issue to be
guaranteed as to interest only by the
Treasury will, it is thought, be suffi-
cient to meet the needs of those to
whom other methods of financing
are not available.
AT the same time, the plan of
settlement will provide standard
which should put an end to present
uncertain and chaotic conditions
that create fear and despair among
both home-owners and investors.
Legislation of this character is a
subject that demands our most
earnest, thoughtful and prompt con-
sideration. (Signed)
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT"

How Plan Works
Roosevelt Proposal On
Home Mortgages Oper-
ates Simply.
RY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
If you are hard pressed to meet
mortgage payments on your home, and
it doesn't exceed $4,000 in value,
this is the way the Roosevelt plan
for refinancing would operate:
Insurance company holds $4,000
mortgage-for example-on owner S
home now valued at $4,000, on which
the interest rate is six per cent or
above, but owner is unable to pay.
Either the insurance company or the
owner has to approach the Home
Owners Corporation" Offices for ref
nancing.
The insurance company will accept
in exchange for the mortgage, bonds
issued by the corporation on which
the Government guarantees per cent
interest. In return for the sure interest
the company may agree to mark down
the debt to $4,000.
The corporation then gives the owner
new mortgage with a face value of
$4,000 payable in Is years at 5 per
cent interest.
In addition, the corporation may ad-
vance him cash for payment of taxes
and necessary repairs and cover it in
the mortgage.
In the discretion Of the Home Loan
Bank Board, the owner may be given
a three-year moratorium on his debt
The owner could make his payment
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or
annually.

|BORAH SAYS RUSSIA
K is VITAL TO PEACE
Idaho Senator Urges Soviet
Participation in All World
Conferences.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Borah is of the opinion this
country's recognition Of Soviet Russia
and the inclusion of that government
in all international conferences would
result in a betterment of world condi-
tions.
The Idaho Republican in fervent
plea on the Senate floor late yesterday
said he would not know how to formu-
late a program for improvement OF
conditions without Soviet Russia TAX
ing part.
Long an advocate Of American rec
ognition of Russia. Borahs speech was
prompted by Senator Robinson, Repub-
lican, of Indiana who, in a prepared
address vigorously denounced advocates
of recognition, and asserted such an
event at this time would be equivalent
to placing gun in their hands with
which to shoot U.s."
Must Consider Russia.
Robinson said with an embassy in
Washington, Russian leaders would
utilize it as a central point for carry
ing on their admitted efforts to destroy
the American Republic"
destroying the Government of the
United States, and I know perfectly well
they couldn't destroy it If they wanted
to- Borah said:
I'VE are about to engage in world
economic conference. How are we going
to adjust the world economic affairs
and leave Russia out? We are in a dis
armament conference. How are YOU
going to reach a decision without taking
Russia into consideration?
How are you going to establish
peace with one-siXth of the worlds
surface outside the family of nations
How are you going to adjust any of
these questions without considering this
great nation?
1T is not because Russia stands In
need of recognition, but ask with all
sincerity, with the World Court, the
League of Nations, the Economic Con-
ference and the disarmament program,
how do you expect success without the
Russian people and the Russian gov
ernment?"
Soviet Not Invited.
Thus far, representatives of the Soviet
have not been invited to participate in
the informal parleys the administration
is holding in preparation for the World
Economic Conference.
Borah said he could not see how
setting up a Russian embassy here
would facilitate dissemination of propa-
ganda because you can buy any kind
of literature on the subject for cents. "
He said he had made a thorough in
vestigation of Russian affairs since
Stain became head of that government
and was convinced there has never
been any attempt whatever to interfere
in American governmental affairs"

method

VIDOR DIVORCE CASE
REOPENING is SOUGHT
Attorney for Director Declares
Children's Support and Custody
Would Be Effected.
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, April 13.-Denying
charges of infidelity in the complaint
on which Eleanor Boardman, film
actress, obtained divorce from King
Vidor director, Ralph Blum, attorney
for Vidor, said yesterday action had
started to reopen the case to such ex-
tent as it affects support and custody
of the couples two children.
Blum said in a statement: Miss
Boardman saw fit to withdraw her orig
NAL complaint and served an amended
complaint, in which the charge of in
fidelity was omitted"
Vidor then deliberately refrained from
filing any contest to the suit, Blum said.
Miss Boardman testified at her hearing
Tuesday that she, with detective, sur
prised Vidor in the apartment OF a
studio employe.
Blum said Vidor had provided much
more than the legal requirement in a
divorce settlement, involving about
$400, 900.

but that they will agree to what the
Germans call "mantelgesetZ"-a mantle
law unifying and fllsing the three ac-
cords.
The resultant concordat will not
mention politics. 1t will be limited
strictly to ecclesiastical matters, de-
claring against restrictions on religious
education, and upholding freedom Of
worship and exemption OF religious cor
porate bodies from taxation. It will
also declare for oaths of allegiance
from bishops, and for the maintenance
of diplomatic relations with the Vati-
can.
A possible result of concordat will be
elimination of the separate Bavarian
legation at the Holy See.
Commenting on a report that the
Vatican refused to support the proposed
German Catholic party reconstruction,
prelates said they do not believe Baron
Won Papen proposed this, because he
had been expelled from the German
Catholic Center party and preferred
amalgamation of the Center with the
Rightest parties. In any event, they
said the Pope is not interfering in the
status of the Centerists.
An Austrian concordat was expected
to follow today's visit of Chancellor
Dolfuss with the Pope.
