LOAN BANK APPRAISERS
WILL SOON FINISH WORK
Applications Filed at Cumber-
land Total More Than $SSS,000

Appraisers of the Western Mary
land branch of the Home Loan Mort
gage Corporation, with offices at
Cumberland, are making rapid prog
ress in clearing titles and checking
court records so that loans can be
recommended at an early date.
Judge Oliver H. Bruce, Jr., manager
of the Cumberland branch, said that
applications for loans, filed by home
owners, total more than $8S9,000. He
cited that the local branch is part of
the general recovery program, de-
signed to aid home owners who are IN
danger of losing their property. The
corporation is limited in it's scope to
assist those who are threatened with
foreclosures who need funds to make
repairs and to pay taxes.
Bonds Guaranteed
AS loans are made, mortgages will
be given 4 per cent bonds, which are
guaranteed by the Government, and
are regarded by financial leaders as a
much better investment than mort
gage on which the interest is accu-
mulating. Mortgages who accept the
bonds are aiding considerably in the
recovery program, Mr.. Bruce con-
tends, as foreclosures will be pre-
vented, and real estate vaules will not
be impaired by the dumping of low
priced real estate, caused by fore
closures, on an already dull market.
1t is estimated that 25 per cent of
the earnings of the American people
is expended for shelter, which means
that one-fourth of the wealth of the
nation is land and buildings, partic-
ularly homes.
When conditions are below normal
families reduce their living eXpen-
ditures by doubling" in houses, the
construction of new homes cease, as
has been the case in the past four
years, but as business increases mar
ket values of real estate rise, and a
demand is created for homes. Mr..
Bruce alleges that home construction
will be resumed and business gener-
ally will benefit.

Corps, stationed at Camp so, Savage
jured early Saturday morning when
he evidently fell from a moving Bal
timore and Ohio freight train at or
near Bond on the Seventeen-Mile
Grade.
The conductor of a freight train
found him alongside the rails about
400 a. M, with his head and face so
severely cut and bruised that recogni-
ton was impossible. His left leg was
also crushed and other injuries were
apparent. He had lost great guam
titles of blood but was still alive when
placed in the baggage car of train
No. 3, which brought him to Oak
land. Arriving here he was pronounced

called to meet the train upon its ar
rival and render aid to the young man.
The body was taken to the Bolden
undertaking establishment and pre-
pared for interment.

Bond came to Oakland and viewed
the remains.
The body was sent to O'Keef's
home in Baltimore Monday morning

YOUTHS BODY RECOVERED
FROM DEEP CREEK FRIDAY
Found Floating In Is Feet Of
Water by Group of Men Near
Where He Had Disappeared
FELL FROM SURF BOARD

The body of Ellis Rhodes, II, of
Friedens, Pa, who was drowned in
Deep Creek Lake on Tuesday evening
of last week, was recovered Friday
morning at McHenry, the nothern end
of the Lake, near the Pittsburgh Boy
Scout camp. The body was floating in
an upright position.
The youth went down in sixteen
feet of water after falling from d
surf board attached to an cupboard
motorboat driven by Dwight NJ. Stahl,
of Somerset, Pa.
Thirteen boats manned with men
of the community and some of the
firemen of Oakland worked almost
continuously from the time he dis
appeared. The body was found near
the spot where the searchers had
ceased working the evening previous.
His lungs were filled with water, the
undertaken stated.
Indications were that the youth had
died as the result of being seized with
cramps after he fell from the surf
board, as he had eaten heartily just
a few minutes before he went into
the lake. The boy disappeared from
sight before Stahl could reverse his
course and reach the spot where he
was last seen.
In addition to the local people as
sisting in the search the Cumberland
city rescue truck was brought into
use and Fred. c. Dreyer, one of those
assisting in the work, stated that re-
covery of the body was greatly de-
layed because five eye-witnesses all
gave different locations as to where
Rhodes had gone down. Searchers
were also handicapped on Wednesday
and Thursday by turbulent waters.
The youth, who graduated last June
from the Friedens High school, was
visiting friends at Deep Creek Lake
when the accident occurred. Surviving
are his mother and two brothers.
The body was brought to the Boil
den undertaking establishment in Oak
land and was later taken to Friedens
where funeral services were con-
Quoted.

PLANS ARE MATURING FOR
ANNUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL
To Be Held at Camp Dawson,
Near KingwOOd, Sept. Is and IL

Plans are rapidly maturing for the
observance of the third annual Music
Festival of the Allegheny Tableland
Association, which is scheduled for
Saturday and Sunday, September 16
and II, at Camp Dawson, near King
wood, Preston county, West Va.
The site of the festival rests beside
Cheat River Immediately above the
bridge which spans that stream at
Caddell, west of Terra Alta and east
of Kingwood. The spot is military
reservation, maintained by the State
of West Virginia, where there are
permanent quarters and is surrounded
by mountains which form a natural
amphitheatre with room to care for
thousands of people comfortably. The
camp adjoins the golf links of the
Preston County Country Club, which
is another ideal spot.
This festival has become an annual
two-day affair, and for the past two
years has been held at Somerset, Pa,
being attended by some forty thous-
and visitors each year. Recently the
Tableland Association decided to make
it a movable festival and this year
Preston county was selected.
The program is being arranged.
Miss Sara B. Huff will direct the mu-
sic and arrange a pageant which is
now in the making. Numerous bands
and other musical organizations, glee
clubs, ehoirs, ETC., will add to the en-
tertainment with their selections.

NEW YORK, N. with $50 po-

cd two tenants from 1045 Bryant
Ave. yesterday. One has family of
seven and the other family Of five.

Answer Lehman!
Push the Albany
Conference Plans

NEW YORK-In a statement is
sued yesterday, the N. Y. District
Committee Of the Communist Party
lasheS Governor Lehman's Revenue
proposals, as proposals which entail
greater burdens and miseries for New
York States miSerably- paid, part
time and unemployed workers. The
statement calls upon all toilers aid
their organizations to redouble their
activities in pushing the statewide
conference on labor legislation, called
by group Of American Federation
of Labor Unions for February 25th,
26th and 9th at Albany, New York.
Governor Lehman's Budget message
presented to the State Legislature on
Jan. 80 fully confirms the estimation
Of the Communist Party that Leh-
man will continue Roosevelts policies
namely, the continued starvation
and degradation of the masses in the
interest Of the capitalist class
The message does not contain a
word relative to adequate unem-
picyment relief for the nearly g.
100000 unemployed OF New York
State. Instead ii intends to con-
tinue the booming of these masses
to further starvation, and for
sweeping reduction in the wages of
the already underpaid state en-
ployees
In the interest of the bankers, Leh-
man proposes to cut the wages of all
state employees receiving over $1,000
year per cent. He further pro-
poses a special income tax Of one per
cent on all inoCwe above 81 600 for
single and above $500 for married
persons in addition to the regular in
come tax. These taxes and reduc-
lions will hit with especial force the
lower-paid categorieS Of state en-
ployees.
He further demands a sales tax
of three quarters OF one per cent,
This tax will mean further pauper-
iZation Of masses of toilers, whose
wages already slashed to the bone,
IL be compelled to pay more for
articles of consumption.
On problems of burning interest to
the workers and impoverished farm
ers of N. Y. State, Lehman remains
silent. He has not word to say
about the growing army of unem-
ployed and the increased poverty Of
the toilers, nor about the repressive
measures used by the capitalist para
sites against leeor. On the contrary,
Lehman and Wall Street aim to con-
tinue their program of hunger and
restitution for the working class.
Precisely because of this, the
workers of New York must begin
NOW to push with the utmost yigor
the preparations for the Albany
Conference on labor legislation.
This conference should be gather
ing Of the broadcast section of toll
ers who in united action must raise
the united mighty fist and power
Of labor which alone can force con-
cessions from the Wall Street plum
