STOCKS REMAIN
NEAR DAYSL0WS
Losses of About ST to SO a
Share Recorded in Dull
Trading.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, october 1.-The stock
market suffered rather drastic de-
cline today. Losses of around l to 3
points were numerous, although SELL
ing volume was comparatively small.
Prices were around their lows in the
late dealings. United States Smelt-
ing lost more than 8, while Case, du
Pont, United States Steel, American
Telephone, Santa Fe, Consolidated
Gas and Johns Manville sagged to
more than 2. Transfers approximated
625, 900 shares.
While the activity in equities was
somewhat more pronounced than IN
recent sessions, 1t still was far below
what is regarded as normal. After the
initial selling, leading stocks came
back Slightly, but the pace slowed ap-
preciably.
Shares Of National Biscuit and
Standard Oil Of New Jersey dropped
point each to new years lows.
Others, off around l to 2, included
American Telephone, U. S. Steel, Du
Pont American Can, Case, Montgom-
cry Ward, Chrysler, General Motors,
Johns -Manville, Sears Roebuck, West
inghouse, Western Union, Celanese,
Santa Fe, New York Central, Union
Pacific, Loew's Consolidated Gas, U. S.
Smelling and Howe Sound.
In view of the fact that stocks have
shown an advancing trend for the
last week or so, various market an
alysts were inclined to attribute TO-
days reaction partly to technical fac
tors.
1t was not so much what the Presi-
dent said, but what he left unsaid, that
seemed to bring disappointment to
some in the financial district. Hopes
had been expressed that the Chief
Executive would give some clue as to
the extent of Government spending,
the methods to be used in balancing
the budget and the eventual steps
which might be taken toward currency
Stabilization.
The transfer of the securities ex-
changes to full Federal control was
thought TO have been largely dis
counted, as Stock Exchange members
for some time had been preparing to
operate under the new regulations.

 The Pacific coast total for the weekend was twenty-three, most of them in California. Planes re- ported crashed were one near Ven tura, California, unknown how many were aboard, and near Elko, Nevada, where a pilot and his three passengers, two girls and boy, are now being sought by rescuers.

SOME DETAILS ABOUT F. H. A.
 OVER ALASKA
Cor Immediate Release)

UT 1IIlIIlcOldIC fbC1CoSCI
 JUNEAU, Alaska, December H. Important liberalizing regulations respecting the home modernization program being carried forward un- der the National Housing Act, were announced today by John E. Pegues Territorial Director for the Federal Housing Administration.
 Under the revised regulations it will be possible to obtain funds from financial institutions approved by the Federal Housing Administra- tion, for construction of buildings on property upon which no building or other improvements now exist.
 Previously it was necessary to make improvements to property up- on which building was already To- cated. By means of this modified ton it will rbe possible, for instance, to construct a summer cottage at a vacation resort or any other select ed place. The restriction that not more than $2,000 may be obtained for one building is still in effect.
 Another important modification, , MT. Pegues declared, lis that notes may now have a final maturity date of five instead of three years"
 Until the revised regulations were issued it was not possible to obtain a modernization loan for property having outstanding against it delin- quent taxes or assessments, except under quite rigid conditions. Now taxes or assessments or interest on mortgages may be delinquent and the loan may still be obtained if the bank to which application is made is satisfied with the credit risk.
 A way is also provided for per son whose income has not now reached the required figure of five times the annual payments on the loan to improve his property.
 ''The Liberalization with respect to this feature" said MT. Pegues, makes it possible for bank to make modernization loan to an in-
The Nome daily nugget., 1934-12-26

dividual who has not now an in- come five times the amount of what his annual payments would be, but whose prospects for future increase in income are sufficiently good to induce the bank to believe that the credit risk would be good one"
 The original regulations provided that an individual or company could not secure insured loans on more than five pieces of property without a special ruling from the Administrator The revision does away with that restriction. Now one person may improve under the plan as many pieces of property as he cares to so long as not more than $2,000 is expended upon any single property.
 "These changes" declared MT Pe- gueS, "are. certain to accelerate the demand for home modernization loans throughout the Territory. This is probably especially true with ref erence to provisions which will make it possible to erect summer cottages or similar types of build ings with modernization loans. We all know that building of this char acter has increased very rapidly during the last few years, and now there is means provided for the erection of low cost summer homes with payment for them to be made in nominal monthly. installments
 over period of years"

Neumeyer has not heard from her

is living in dread, fearing that her
Ludwig was one of the victims of
Chancellor Hitlers ''purging." She
said:
"My boy never was one to mix
in politics. Being chauffeur to
Roehm was his job and there
his interest ended.
Maybe Ludwig was not on
duty when ROehm, his Chauf-
feur and valet were killed.
Maybe ROehm had two chauf-

OfNonsupport

Unable to support his wife
and children because he has
chronic sleeping sickness, &C.
cording to his claim, Clarence
Weisgerber was found guilty Of
non-support by a jury in the
Prince Georges county circuit
court at Upper Marlboro yester-
day.
His travail is no joke, Weis-
gerber testified. He can't fol-
low his regular trade as a me-
chanic because prospective en-
ployerS think he looks too
sleepy, he said.
But that hasn't kept him from
getting a job as a cab driver.
He testified he had to spend
most of his receipts to run the
car and feed himself. The re-
mainder, his wife, Alice, did not
think enough for her support.
The jury decided with her.
