farm was sold at a sheriff's sale
and bought by the bank.
AS soon as a buyer could be
found in the elevator man Hoven
the FeSeral Land Bank sold the
place without consideration of the
family who had build the farm.
Hoven, who is living off the farm
ers and has no need or use for
farms himself, received the title Of
a property that is worth consid-
cradle more for cheap money.
When Hoven started eviction pro-
ceedings he was visited by a COM
mittee Of farmers. At that time
Hoven promised to rent the farm
to the original owner, Mrs. Hovdal
on shares. But when the contract
was drawn up by Hoven's attorney
it contained provisions which, If It
would have been signed, would
have delivered Mary Hovdal body
and soul into the clutches of her
landlord.
The committee advised not to
sign. And now steps are being
taken by the three organizations
to make the federal government,
which had taken away the farm
through its bank, restore the prop
erty to Mary Hovdal through the
credit administration.
And if Hoven should try to fore
close in the meantime he will find
all farmers in the county resisting
the eviction to keep a roof over
the Hovdal family.

ROBERTS DEFENDS
SYSTEM OF PAROLES
Saws Indeterminate Sentences Also
Necessary, but Admits Criticism
Is Warranted.

Peoples Counsel William A. Rob-
erts, in a letter today to F. Regis
Noel, president of the District Bar
Association, defended the indeter-
inmate sentence and parole sys-
TENS which have been under attack
in connection with the recent crime
wave here. After quoting statistics
on overcrowded conditions in the
penal institutions, he said:
THE truth is that we simply can
not afford to put anything like the
total number of those who violate
the law in Jail for fixed sentences.
The criticism of indeterminate SEN
tences and parole activities is unques-
tionably justified, not because the
legislation is unsound but because the
administration. is so superficial as to
be a joke to those sincerely interested
in its application.
1T seems to me that the case in
favor of parole and probation can
not be judged on the record in the
District of Columbia where the ad-
ministration has been notoriously in

BLAMED ON FEAR
Investment Bankers Head,
However, Says Securities
Act Is Workable.

BY the Associated Press.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, October 29.-The stagnation of
the market for new securities reflects
continued uncertainty as to the fu-
ture, not q strike of capital, said
George w. Bovenizer, president Of
the Investment Bankers Association,
addressing its annual convention
today.
Bovenizer told the bankers that the
securities act, which many invest
ment bankers have blamed for the
low volume of financing, has become
a much more workable instrument"
as a result of the amendments at the
last session Of Congress.
If given definite assurance of op-
portunity for productive employ
ment," he said, capital will respond
instantly and our problems of en-
ployment, relief and taxation will
steadily diminish"
He described the statement that
capital is OH strike as erroneous and
harmful, adding capital has rarely
been so eager to find sound and pro-
ductive employment. A minutes
honest thought will convince any
doubter of that fact, for idle capital
tends to destroy itself through the
impact Of taxation and other eco
nomic forces. In no way can capital
protect itself except through its en-
ployment in active production"
While waiting for a more assured
future, he called upon the bankers
to assume their full share of respon-
sibility for enforcement of the invest
ment bankers code and the securities
laws and to cooperate with the gov
ernmental authorities.
Criticism" he concluded, must be
informed and constructive, not merely
destructive"
He complimented the securities and
exchange commissioners for their
liable and earnest efforts"
The amendments to the securities
act" he said, while not covering
some notifications which many of
us feel are necessary in the public in
terest, are a very definite step forward
and substantial tribute to the
earnest efforts of the laws, administra-
tors and to Congress"
Much of the uncertainties surround
ing the act he described as inherent
in new legislation generally. for no
one can tell in advance just how new
laws may work Furthermore, he
said, the hardships of the depression
"unavoidably create animosities and
problems which would seem unim-
portant in other times.

CHILD WELFARE
DECREASE SHOWN
Report Reveals 3 Per Cent
Decrease in Capital
During 1884.

A per cent decrease in the number
of children cared for by the Child We'll
fare Division of the Board of Public
Welfare was recorded in the divisions
report for the 1884 fiscal year, made
to Director Elwood Street today.
Reasons for the decrease were said
to be a greater expenditure in public
relief, which enabled many families
on the borderline of dependency to re-
tain their children, and special ef-
forts made by the division to reach
parents shortly. after the commitment
of children to foster homes, with fire.
quent visits and follow-ups, in order
to encourage them again to provide for
their children within reasonable time.
During the year $40 children were
received into care, of whom 1913 were
dependent and BIT delinquent. This
was the smallest number received in
any year since 1926 The figures show
a decrease of 81 in all classes, as COM
pared with the number received dur
ing the previous year. The year
closed with 1,760 children in care, a
decrease of 81, or slightly more than
3 per cent.
Eleven hundred and twenty of this
number were in foster homes, 808
fully supported by the District, 81
partially supported and 339 supported
without any expense to the District.
The care with which foster homes
are selected for the wards Is shown
by the fact that whereas there were
529 foster home applications, only %
homes were approved. Applicants who
asked for children for the prime rea-
son of securing revenue were denied
without further investigation.
The division obtained the appoint
ment of dentist on its staff for half
time service. He has used the dental
clinic at Children's Hospital which
was given to the division together with
the services of student nurse for five
half-days each week.
There is great need" said the re-
port, "for provision through public re-
lief as distinguished from emergency
situations for widowed and deserted
fathers. The problems of widowed
and deserted fathers increasingly are
being brought to the attention Of the
Division of Child Welfare for place
ment of the children. Poverty should
not be permitted to cause the breakup
Of families.
There is great need that public
aid in the field of foster care should
be more adaptable to community
problems. There should be revision of
the Board of Public Welfare law to
permit direct reception Of dependent
children instead of their passing
through the juvenile courts. There is
also need of personal case work service
along with relief for these families. 5"
