Senator David i. Walsh was in good
voice recently when he accepted for the
nation the gift of statue of Washing
ton and Lee as Virginias donation to the
Statuary Hall in the Capitol. He said
among other things, Furthermore, it
seems to me that the acceptance here by
the nation of Virginia's gift of statue Of
General Robert E. Lee is in the nature OF
final attestation of the entire extinguish-
ment of the passions which once divided
our country and set brother against
brother, and which fingered long after all
arms had been laid down We now
unite in proclaiming Lee a national hero
. Virginia has many illustrious sons
from whom to choose in determining

tanned in them. We'd like to see lot OF

Just as the deposit insurance guarantee
of the government has brought many
banks under federal supervision, so will
the same offer also cause thousands OF
building and loan associations to do the
same thing. There are about $4,000 of
these associations in the country. Some
2,400 of them have subscribed to the
home loan bank system. The rest are ex-
pected to follow suit if the housing insur-
ance bill is passed by congress. Insur-
ance of loans for reconditioping of old
buildings not to mention new building is
expected to drive in many new members.
