I don't know just how sound
this home loan business IS from
banking point of view, but it's GER
tainlv a great thing for people,
isn't it? After all, we want this to
be a country Of home owners-you
and I know. dad, that they're bet
ter customers.
And I guess you and mad feel
pretty strange if somebody came
along and made you move out OF
here tomorrow, wouldn't you?"
DA and Ma Jones exchanged
Il gIances that told much more
about the Home Owners Loan
Corporation than a volume Of sta
tlstiCS.
Nevertheless, only figures can
show the vast extent to which the
government has gone into the
home real estate business.
The homes Of $4,000 families
have been saved from foreclosure
by the Hole, which has adj
vanced nearly two billion dollars
to do this.
It's bonds, for which the govern
ment has made itself responsible,
have been issued for about that
amount. The bonds are held by
the insurance companies and pri-
vate mortgage holders whose mort
cages have been taken over by the
government.
1t is expected that by the time
the HOLC stops loaning this VIM

would have voted to join had his
reservations been accepted.
The Democratic and Republican
parties we're separated, not so
much On the question of joining
or not joining as they were on
joining with or without reserva-
lions.
TODAY leading Democrats, as
4 we'll as Republicans, virtually
are unanimous on the question Of
reservations or covenant modif1-
cations should the United States
eventually decide to become a
member. Rightly or wrongly many
feel the league would have been
a different organization had the
United States participated fully
at the start. But America did not
participate, and experience has
shown that the covenant does not
now entirely respond to practi-
cal, preSent-day requirements.
Leaders like Newton D. Baker,
wartime secretary of war and
close associate of President Will
son, today support revision of the
covenant and American adherence.
Three years ago Mr.. Baker
publicly stated that, in his opin-
ion, league membership was not
then "a matter for practical dis
cussion." He now believes the
time has come to modify the cove
nant so that it will work to the
best interests of everybody"
He urges that the United States
Immediately state the terms upon
which membership in the league
will be acceptable.

Its going to insure depositors

only half of them can make the

The Federal Savings and Loan

With these two stellar perform
ers commanding the headlines,
the league would be able to get
over a flood of cOvertly anti
administration propaganda-de-
mands for the end Of further
New Deal experiments, initiation,
big government spending.
Preparations for the proposed
event are being pushed under the
closest guarded secrecy.
This is done for two reasons.
First, to obtain all the advan-
tages that may be derived from
springing it as a surprise. Second,
to keep the date of the meeting
open until the last possible mo-
ment so that it can be held after
the President makes his already
announced "fireside" radio talk.
Guarded overtures already have
been made to Borah and Smith
proposing their participation.

MEANHILE' the admlnlstra-
Iva ton, without any knowl-
edge of the Liberty Leagues ma
neuvers, is planning a forum of
its own.
Its purpose, however, is entirely
different. Behind the plan is the
aim of the President and of John
w. Studebaker, new commissioner
of education, to promote adult
education.
To this end they expect to estab-
lsh a series of Town Halls" or
open forums throughout the
country. The first of these prob
ably will be in Washington, and
one of the New Deals chief critics
and a rival candidate against
Franklin Roosevelt - Norman
Thomas-will be invited to speak.
The President personally is most
enthusiastic over the idea.
MOT many people know 1t, but
y Mrs. Adolf Berle, wife Of a
prominent member Of the brain
trust. also is the niece of Henry
P. Fletcher, chairman of the
Republican national committee.
Mrs. Berle, formerly Miss
Beatrice Bend Bishop, virtually
was ostracized by her family
when she married Berle. Her
father and mother, members OF a
prominent Boston family, OBJ
iected strenuouSly when she
stunned Back Bay society and in
sisted upon going in for high
brow studies of Adolf Berle,
then a Harvard prodigy.
And when they were married,
no member of Miss Bishops FAM
ily was present to give her away.
ERANK y. BELGRANO, new
Il national commander Of the
American Legion, holly denies re-
ports that he was personally not
in agreement with the Miami
convention vote for immediate
payment of the bonus.
Most significant. however, was
his first public address after cleo
ton. IN it he declared that
"Americanism" was the first OBJ
jective of the Legion and care

the house and the temperature falls
to close to 100 degrees below the zero

CHICAGO, June 9-Visitors to A
Century of Progress Exposition here
this Summer may see, in replica. the
worlds most remarkable dwelling
house. 1t Is an exact reproduction
of a hut which stands at the bottom
of the globe buried deep in snow in a
temperature that ranges from IS to 100
degrees below zero. the temporary
abode of Admiral Richard E. Byrd.
1t was from Admiral Byrd's hut in
Antarctica that the radio signal open
ing the new 1884 Century Of Progress
Exposition was flashed on May 26
The reproduction of the hut has
been placed on the plot facing the
Byrd ship The City of New York,
anchored at the same spot it occupied
during the fair last year.
Like a Packing Box.
Strange in appearance and stranger
still in type of construction and the
material used, the little house looks
like large packing box with porch
made of packing boxes. In these
porch receptacles are stored the
admirars food and other supplies.
Interior dimensions are 9 feet in
width, 13 feet in length and feet
in height. But height means little,
since the whole structure is buried in
the snow and all that shows are three
small smokestacks In the porch roof
is a trap door through which Admiral
Byrd can make his way if any of his
tunnels become choked with ice and
snow.
Strange though it Is in appearance,
the house is even more remarkable in
its efficiency in protecting Admiral
Byrd against the extreme Antarctic
temperature. For it does afford ample
protection-and with walls comprised
of only two thin sheets of aluminium
foil, two thin layers of wood, covered
with tough paper on both sides. three
or five layers of waterproof building
paper and two half-inch blankets Of
kapok.
Although this might seem to b.
poor defense against the extreme
Antarctic temperatures, the littl'
house Is made livable by an unique
system Of insulation which utilize!

Highway, a concrete boulevard run
ming northward to Baltimore. Five
niles farther south and the traveller
reaches Waldorf. Now here Is pre-
sented the first real choice OF route
to st. Marys One may make the
right-angle turn here on Route
through Beantown, Bryantown, Char
lotte Hall and Mechanicsville, or he
may continue straight south to La
Plata.
This correspondent prefers the La
Plata way both for its interest and its
charm. Too, the road is better. From
Waldorf east On the other road the
paving is rough and badly crowned for
too many miles From Waldorf to
La Plata the road is straight as taut
string for virtually the full 8 miles
and is wide and better paved. La
Plata is the county seat of Charles
County and will be remembered by
WashingtonianS as the little town
whose school house was blasted to
pieces by a tornado some seven years
ago, with the death and manning OF
many of the county's younger chill
dren.
"La-Play-ta."
At La Plata-pronounced, by the
way, ia -play-ta," with the accent on
the "play"-make sharp right turn,
travel a half block, and then turn
sharp left to continue on your way.
The road leads through such little
settlements and wayside places as
Port Tabacco Station. Spring Hill,
Bel Alton and Faulkner. About 2.5
miles below Faulkner, leave Route
No. 3 and take the left fork in the
road. Here, you'll approach the be-
ginnings of what seems to be the
real Southern Maryland Peninsula.
The road is narrower than 1t was
and now it's winding to round the
head of the Wicomico River. Here
you'll see the perfect affinity between
the soil and the rivers. AS the road
spirals downward to the valley in
which the wicomico lies, you'll see
the placid little rivers fingers inter-
laced with those of the grown
shore. You'll see gentle curves every
where in the landscape; not sharp
line or harsh note marks the scene.
And best of all, not a billboard shat
ters the pastoral quiet along this
route.
The Wicomico River is crossed on q
small concrete bridge and the road
runs on a kind of causeway from the
bridge across the marshy land OF the
river valley. The road gradually
climbs and in the hills there you'll
pass Newport and Wicomico, little
towns of slumbering placidity and the
everlasting gasoline filling station
pumps that mark every crossroads
with a name in this country.
Just ST miles further on, the road
reaches Chaptico, there at the head
of the Chaptico Bay, tiny inlet from
the Wicomico River. AS you drive
