FOR HOME LOAN
Powerful Support Promised
for Further Federal
Mortgage Aid.

By Scripps Hon I'd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-PoWer-
full support was evident on Capitol
Hill today FOR further Federal aid
to distressed home owners.
Senator Robert F. Wagner ID,
n. " added his backing with an
announcement that his first move
in January would be 70 introduce a
bill authorizing the Home Owners
Loan Corp. TO issue an additional
billion dollars worth Of bonds.
The billion would enable the
Hole to take up more than 300
900 additional mortgages. Its orig
inal limit of three billions. under
which about a million homes are
being financed. IS expected to be
reached about March. Loans to
date exceed two billion dollars, with
about $40. 900 homes refnanced.
Senator Wagner said he had been
deluged with letters from home
owners describing the crisis facing
them as a result of cUrtailment of
HOLC activities.
Many Bills Prepared
The HOLC work is a decidedly
important part of the recovery pro-
gram" he said. The preservation
of the American home which is the
basis Of our civilization, the salvag-
ing of these human and social
values, the providing of a mental
tranquility TO millions of our best
citizenry are vital necessities"
Others IN Congress have bills
ready authorizing additional HOLC
aid Of from one to three billions.
Chairman John H. Fahey said the
Hole board is making no recon-
mendation but will rely on the
judgment Of President Roosevelt
and Congress.
He Is, however, surveying private
lending institutions TO learn whether
they are willing and able to resume
mortgage lending at their former
pace He has suggested that the
duration of such loans be length
ened TO tighten the instalment pay
ments.
Thousands Protest Move
Monthly payments by Hole Dor
rOwers are S791 per 81 nGJ, which
covers the 5 per cent interest and
amOrtizes The principal over Is
years. Loans of Is years at 6 per
cent would require 1914 a month.
which many home owners can pay
even with depression incomes, Nh

Mackenzie to Move
About Congressional
WIN Member Freedom

An injustice which should be
corrected has been done that
sterling and popular young golf
or Roland Mackenzie, who has
cast his lot with the profession
ais, and who is to take up his
duties at the Congressional
Country Club very shortly.
BY this I mean that a false
impression went out at the hour
Of his tie-up with Congressional
that his duties as pro would
make him something of a me-
NAL, and that he would not
be afforded the liberties of
the club proper.
Only yesterday discussed this
with an officer Of the club and
was very much gratified to
learn that Roland Mackenzie
will work under no such social
limitations when he takes up
his duties at the Montgomery
County golf center. He will
enjoy every privilege of a club
member and otherwise be on
the same, free footing as those
he inStructs.
Upstairs and downstairs he
Will move about with equal free
dom, and this is as 1T should be.
Coming from a distinguished
Washington family and having
q remarkable background as an
amateur it would be an odd at
t1tude for any club to wish to
limit Roland MacKenzie's per-
sonal movements in any man
ner.
Indeed, I had been thinking
all along that one of his charms
and a part of his real value as
o pro embraced his wide local
contacts, popularity and poise,
all assets to any club fortunate
enough to have his services.
Honors Continued
Walter Johnson, the baseball
man who has had more pitch
ing honors heaped on him than
any living hurler, still comes
in for additional distinction,
this time at the hands of that
influential New York chapter
Of the Baseball Writers Asso-
citation of America.
Reaching back into the his
tory Of the game over the last
25 years, the Gotham writer's
select this year to honor Wal.
ter as their candidate for the
man who has contributed much
to the game over a period Of
years. Ruth, McGraw, Higgins
and Wilbert Robinson have re-
ceived similar mention in pre-
Vious years.

Sions wherever baseball fans
congregate invariably centerS
around the comparative great
ness of johnson, Matthewson,
Grove, Rusie and Herb Pen

miraculous careers and it is
difficult to put much daylight
between them, but there are
few people in Washington who
followed Walter down through
the years that don't put him
ahead Of all the rest. Rube

Whether the fans flock to see
him win or hopeful that they
will all be eye witnesses the
night he loses his diadem, Jim
LondoS is still the most popular

And next to Londos, it has
been my observation that Jim
Browning captures the fancy
of the fans to the greatest de-
gree, although I make no claims
at being a fool-proof barometer
in such matters. But the
surest way to read the meter
of wrestling enthusiasm is to
be in charge of a handful of
ducatS thereto and somehow or
another, when Londos is COM

one needs more fingers and toes

wields over them.
Ringside Bedlam
Four out of five bouts pre-
Sented by the Day Nursery at
Alexandria last night were fast
and furious enough to have
been a main go, and the 1900
fans roared their approval, par
ticularly in the Sarron-C -Covelli
10-rounder which maintained
bedlam throughout. For ex-
cellence, the show was quite in
contrast to that of the Tuesday
before and the fans who stayed
away last evening missed much.
But there were other features
that appealed to me more than
the wildcats, Sarron and Co
velli. Tony Uraine, son of the
former fighting cop, Mike
Uraine, made his bow to the
ring locally and did all that
any fighter could-fought until
he fell down three times. He
and Bill Howard scrapped with
the heart and spirit of amateurs
as did Mike Groves and Sol
dier Litell. Both bouts ended
in the third rounds, Groves
winning by a clear knockout
and Howard by a technical k.o.
Then too, Jimmy Lake pre-
sented THAN" Langford, the
old Boston Tar Baby, from the
ring, and the fans gave the
famous Negro heavyweight a
grand reception. The man who
once had Jack johnson on the
floor for a count of nine and
then couldn't get a return en-
gagement, is quite blind now
and his girth has expanded no
little. But from his giant frame
it is easy to imagine what a for
midable man he must have been
when he was trim and in con-
dition.

Double-Header
Baseball Event
$50 Wednesday

Of interest to lovers of base
bail, is the fact that the Stand
ard Oil compny, the Texas COM
pany, the Gulf Refining company
and the Pure Oil company have
been hard at work planning for
their entertainment.
On Wednesday afternoon, start
ing at $50 o'clock. there will be
a. double-header at the high school
athletic park. Unlike the kiwanis-
Rotary game, these games will be
almost professional, and will be
for blood, say the managers. One
of the most interesting things
,about the first game-Standard
versus Texaco-is that the man
who will take the mound for the
Rockefellers will be Woodson
Drake, 81 years young, who is
famous for his strike-out record.
It is predicted that many of the
younger fellows will go down try
ing to find his breaks. Both
games promise to be worth see
ing. Visitors especially are in
vited. There is no admission
charge.
1t is rumored that since the
news got out that "Old Man"
Drake was going on the mound
for Standard, that the Pure Oil
people have decided to start
Steve Thomas hurting the "old
apple" in the first frame. Steve
and Woodson are the same age,
50. 1t is lust possible that the
Pure Oil versus Gulf game will
be played first, starting at $50
as the Pure Oil manager, Steve
Thomas, has been called to New
York on important business. and
will have to leave at 6 o'clock.
