FREE LOT PLAN
HALTED BY NRA

Louis Rothschild, director of
the Better Business Bureau, an
nounced today that the NRA had
forced a real estate operator to re-
fund a SIS deposit made in con-
nection with a free lot offering.
Mrs. Hope S. Green, of Rock
vile, Md, complained to the
bureau that a real estate concern
had accepted IS deposit from
her, promising a free plot of
ground. The giving away of lots
is contrary to the provisions of
the real estate code and Mr..
Rothschild turned the complaint
over to the NRA.
The local compliance division
forced the real estate concern to
return the deposit and issued
warning against continuance of
the free lot practice.

Firms With Labor Trouble
May Lose u. S. Contracts

Legislation barring contractors
involved in labor disputes from
obtaining contracts from the Gov
ernment was recommended today
as Government officials and labor
leaders charged violations of the
prevailing wage law on two Vet
erans' Administration projects at
the "kickback" investigation by
a subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on Education and
Labor.
The recommendation was made
by Senator Walsh CD of Massa-
chusetts, subcommittee chairman,
during testimony by Col. Louis
H. Trip, director of construction
of the Veterans Administration,
charging violation of the Bacon
Davis Prevailing Wage Law, by
the j. L. Robinson Construction
Company, of Baltimore, on a
veterans hospital at Cherry Point,

Plasterers' Pay Attacked
It was charged that this COM
pany paid a wage of 81 an hour
to plasterers, while the prevailing
wage was $1.25.
The charges were made origi-
nally by James M. Miles, of
Philadelphia, vice president of
the Operative Plasterers and c.
ment Finishers international
Union, who told the committee
he made continuous protests to
the Department of Labor and
Veterans Administration that the
contractor failed to pay the pre-
vailing wage.
He also told the committee
that after months of this condi-
tion he ordered plasterers to
strike.
McCarl Rules on Point
Col. Trip told the committee
that he at one time obtained a
ruling from the Comptroller Gen.
eral that money could not be
withheld from a contractor if
he failed to observe labor regu-

X-BRIDE GIVES
DIVORCE PARTY

One of the first formal divorce
parties" staged in washington was
held the other night by Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Friedlander to celebrate
the release of their pretty, dark
eyed daughter, Miss Lillian Fried"
lander, until recently Mrs. c. c.
Stagg.
The F'riedlanders reasoned that
weddings and anniversaries are
always regarded as occasions Of
rejoicing, so why not a divorce
if the party or parties in queS-
tion really felt they had achieved
something over which to rejoice.
The party was given on the
Friedlanders' lawn with music for
dancing, an elaborate supper, and
gaily decorated tables.
Guests congratulated Miss Fried
lander and wished her happiness
and everyone had a good time.
The guests included friends and
relatives of the pretty divorce.
Everyone was there-but the ex-
husband.
Says Miss Friedlander:
"We celebrate weddings, SO.
why not divOrceS?"

Preparations for the construc-

begun today with the erection on
the lawn in front of the present
executive offices of a small work
ing office for the contractor of
the new and enlarged office.
The successful firm is the N.

which secured the contract on a
bid of $318,757.
The removal of desks, file cases

It is expected that it will take
about three months for the job
of reconstruction.

This is Battalion Chief Stephen

department school, speaking. The
school, in the 600 block North
Carolina Ave. s. E., back of the
famed No. 8 Engine Company, is
just now engaged in drilling the
forty-sixth class of rockies and
firemen that have passed under
the ropes and up the ladders of
the school since it was founded
six years ago.
F'iremen are being taught
everything there is to know about
fire engines, fire prevention, tricks
of rescue and life saving. They
are taught to shave particles off
seconds so as to beat the flames
by every possible bit of time.
They are taught to carry men
down ropes and down ladders, to
tie them to improvised cots and
lower them out of burning build
ings. They are taught to swarm
up the fire tower, which is, to all
intents, an office building, hotel
or dwelling house.
Chief Porter explained the

LOAN GROUPS KEEP
RESERVES STEADY
Official of United States
League Points to ConServ-
alive Management.

The steady reserve position main
tanned by building and loan aSsocis-
tions during the last two quarters Of
the year is pointed out by the United
States Building and Loan League.
A cross section of associations in
various States shows that the COM
bined reserves and undivided profits
of those reporting stand At S and s
per cent Of their total assets as OF
April /. and that these cushions
against loss have varied little since
October l OF last year. Increases of
three -tenths and of six-tenths OF
per cent in the total reserves during
the past three months are shown by
the consolidated reports from two
State league OF associations.
Conservatism Cited.

ident OF the United States League.
points TO these data as evidence of
the conservative management being
applied to the savings Of the 10000
900 people who are supplying home
financing funds through the channels
OF building and loan associations.
In nearly all cases the reserves ex-
coed the requirements in the State
laws by substantial amount. 1t Is
pointed out. Insurance of the shares
in the associations thus becomes a
pooling of their safety rather than
a pooling of their risks says the ma
tionsl official.
Adoption OF the program for in
