BABCOCK TO SEEK
BUREAU CHANGES
Transient Relief Charges to
Be Discussed With
Commissioner.

Col. George D. Babcock, regional
supervisor of the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration. will confer
within few days with Commissioner
Allen over the possibility of improv-
ing conditions at the Transient Relief
Bureau as a result Of charges by a
Committee Of Transients with whom
he met yesterday.
Babcock expressed himself as
"keenly interested" In conditions and
"favorably impressed" with the man
ner in which the committee, headed
by Lewis B. Smith of New York, pre-
sented its complaints. Later, he COM
municated with Arthur RoSichan, di-
rector of the bureau, and warned
none Of the committee members was
to be Disseminated against because
Of the action the group had taken.
Beating Is Charged.
Meanwhile new development was
brought into the picture-a recipient
Of transient relief applied to Assist
ant United States Attorney Karl
Kindelberger in Police Court for war
rants against three men whom he
identified as members Of the Tran
sient Bureaus staff, and whom he
claimed had beaten him about the
head.
The relief client, Frank Rawlinson,
%, displayed bumps, bruises and cuts
on his head as evidence he had been
beaten. Kindelberger promised to
issue the warrants as soon as wit
nesseS are brought before him, and
assigned two policemen to accom-
pany Rawlinson to the lexington and
and Of streets lodge Of the bureau to
obtain evidence.
Rosichan Removal Asked.
At the outset Of yesterdays hearing
before Babcock, the men asked for
the removal of Rosichan. blaming
him for conditions existing at the
bureau. Later, however, they told
Col. Babcock they were not after the
directors scalp" but were merely
anxious to have food and sanitary
conditions improved
Col. Babcock said he would seek an
immediate remedy in the form of
better food and more adequate cloth
ing. He also will look into the mat
ter of providing a recreation room or
quarters for the men, who cannot en-
ter the transient home for the night
until 8 o'clock.
The alleged attack on Rawlinson
marked the second time in less than
a week that relief clients have been
attacked Paul Prendegast. %, of

ture June 80 of the year in which they
fall due. That Is, all 20-year mort
cages insured this year will mature
June 80. 1854, unless the accumulation
from insurance premiums should
make it possible for them to be paid
of earlier; all 15-year mortgages in
sured this year will mature June 80,
l949, etc.
Grouping Plan Divides Risk.
1t will be seen from this plan Of
grouping all mortgages Of similar ma
turtles and risk that it will be very
much to the mortgagor's advantage to
get as conservative mortgage as pos
sible. For example, if he secures a
mortgage Of only so per cent of the
appraised value Of his property, his
mortgage will go in with group of
so per cent mortgages, where quite OBJ
viously the possibilities of loss will be
very much less than if his mortgage
were, for example, in an 80 per cent
group.
The mutual insurance plan Is fun
damental to the working out of the
entire system because, through the
standardized procedure which it pro-
vides, dependable and constant mar
ket for these mortgages can be main
tanned. This will be made certain
through the operation Of the national
mortgage associations to be estab-
lished under title III of the act. FL
nancial institutions will be able greatly
to improve their position through the
substitution of insured mortgages for
the frozen" ones which they have
been carrying in their portfolios.
Moreover, by reason of the ready
market which these financial agencies
will have for home mortgages they
will, for all practical purposes, be in
a position to make as many mortgage
loans as are presented to them, pro-
vided, of course, that the borrowers
can qualify as to personal character
and credit standing, and provided
also that the property to be mort
gagged can meet all Of the Federal
Housing Administrations require
ments.
CTomorrow's article will be devoted
to an explanation Of the national
mortgage associations to be estab-
lished under title III Of the national
housing act.)

In an effort to have the vote re-

ton which would cost approximately
$4,000. the two Anne Arundel County

who each received 1872 votes, today
jointly charged irregularities in the

MYSTERY OF WRINGER

Until today washing machines have
been a mystery to Juan Ross, 4. But
now he knows all he wants to about
them.
Juan was enlightened when he
stuck his finger between the rollers of
a clothes wringer at his home, 1416
Irving street. The rollers expanded
enough not to hurt his finger, but
Juan wanted to know more.
He then pushed his hand in little
farther and when his parents came to
his aid Juan's arm was caught be-

up to his shoulder.

FISH JOINS BORAH
IN RELIEF ATTACK
Representative Asks Custer
of II Workers for Vote
Coercion.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A demand for removal of II Federal
relief workers who allegedly intimi-
dated voters just before the election
was made today as the investigation
into Senator Borah's charges of
shameless waste" in Federal relief
disbursements got under way.
Borah, independent Idaho Republi-
can, conferred yesterday with special
investigator set by Harry L. Hopkins,
relief administrator, on the trail Of
the waste" the Senator reported.
After that conference Borah said he
thought there would be no differences
between the investigator, "Mr. Hopkins
and myself in the matter"
Fish Charges Intimidation.
Shortly thereafter Representative
Fish Republican, of New York made
public letter to Hopkins calling his
attention ''to most hagrant and
brazen attempt to intimidate the needy
voters receiving Federal relief in Put
nam County. N. Y, which is in my
congressional district"
Fish continued:
AN amazing campaign letter was
sent out to the unemployed and needy
workers of my own county, signed by
II Federal relief workers, which
stated, in part. that your very exist
ence is at stake. You can have a job
for yourself and make jobs for your
relatives or friends only by going to
the polls on November and support
ing all Democratic candidates.
All Republican candidates are against
the Democratic program. which has
helped you, and which will help you
more. Vote the straight Democratic
ticket on election day and save your
job
In all my political experience
I have never known Of such a con-
temptible or un-American act, which
amounts to coercion, duress and in
timidation of the voters receiving
Federal relief. Political corruption is
bad enough to contend with, but in
timidation of destitute and needy
Americans and the playing of partisan
politics with human misery through
use of Government relief is political
fraud of the grossest character and
cannot be condoned."
Expresses Faith in Hopkins.
He also felt confident Hopkins twill
use every influence at his command
to help in exposing those higher up
who instigated this dastardly abuse Of
relief funds for political purposes"
One of the complaints under inves-
tigation was that sent to Senator
Borah by Cleveland coal company,
charging waste of relief funds in the
letting of coal hauling contract.
The Famous Coal Co. of Cleveland
informed Borah the Cuyahoga (Ohio)
Relief Administration had given
away" approximately s125,000 by let
ting the contract at SITS a ton and
turning down its bid of S1.05 a ton.
The company said its bid and other
low ones were disqualified because
they were under the price set by the
local N. r. A. code authority.
Keith Southard, executive director
of the Federal Surplus Relief Investi-
cation, questioned Ohio relief officials
and then told reporters the contract
had been let under the Executive Or
der which requires expenditures OF
Federal funds to comply with the N
r. A. codes.
Southard said he found the Famous
company was not adhering to the
distributors code at Cleveland, and
its bid, therefore, was not eligible.

in Groveland, too but as ne NVeo on
Quality Hill and Charles modest
home was on Slipping street, they
were not likely to meet.
Mrs. Townsend said Charlie was not
ambitious. She said it many times
as they returned from their two weeks
vacation at Fish Lake. 1t was hot
day and the train was crowded, but
when they reached Groveland Charlie
was ambitious enough to run to the
end of the platform to make sure
of a taxi.
When he returned Mrs. Townsend
was deep in conversation with the
station agent.
"Hey!" called that gentleman, Il
was just asking your wife if you didn't
work for Herp's.'
Charlie admitted it.
well, they're out of town and their
house is closed, and there's dog for
'em. I can't keep him here. Whatl
! do?"
Charlie started to say that he knew
nothing about it. but Caroline pinched
his arm severely and gave him a
meaning look.
"Why-why, I suppose we might
take him for day or two" he stam-
mered.
When they were in the taxi he
turned a bewildered gaze upon her
satisfied smile.
Why did you want the dog. Caro-
line? You don't even like a dog"
Caroline nodded significantly. This
Is your chance to do favor for Mr..
Herp. This is your chance to get
acquainted with the vice president. 1t
is not what you know"
He looked at her blankly.
I'VE do not know what this may
mean for U.S." she added
Caroline never spoke truer word.
In the days that were to come they
learned much about keeping dog.
IF he is a dog!" Caroline would say
harshly. He seems more like an
elephant"
He was not a cross dog at home.
It was only that he made such hide
Gus volume of noises if they kept him
in the basement and left desolation
in his wake if they allowed him to go
out.
Every evening when Charlie came
home Caroline would meet him with
some new tale of disaster.
Make out a check for Mrs. Hayes
for $40. He ate her bedspread off the
line" Caroline would sigh. Or "He
went over to the Bartons yard, and

Finally Mr. Herp returned. Mr..
Herp was very busy, of course, and
probably did not have time, at first,
to read Charles explanatory memo
randum about the dog Two days
passed and Mr.. Herp said nothing.
Charlie took a package of bones
home to the dog. He chained him to
the clothes post. After dinner he sat
down to the desk to untangle his
budget. The budget had suffered
terribly from the dog. In food, and In
damages, he had consumed all of edu-
cation and entertainment, and had
practically annihilated dentist and
doctor.
A violent sobbing interrupted him.
1t was Caroline.
"Oh, Charlie" she wept, my honey
suckle that brought from my old
Kentucky home has been dug up and
torn to pieces"
This was tragedy. They had left
the city and bought a bungalow in
order to get yard in which to plant
this honeysuckle. 1t had never
bloomed, but they had been well con-
tent to see it emerge from the grip Of
Winter every Spring and grow feebly
green.
Charles" said Caroline firmly, "go
to that telephone and tell Mr.. Herp to
come and get his dog"
Mr.. Herp, in person, answered the
telephone
This is Mr. Townsend, Mr. Herp-
your bookkeeper. you know"
"Eh, who is it? Downey? Yes, yes,
Downey. What is it, Downey?"
why, Mr.. Herp, did you want me
to bring ever your dog now?"
Dog? What dog? Wait a min
ute" said Mr.. Herp.
Charlie nodded and winked at Caro-
line. Perhaps they would be repaid
for their trouble after all. At least
after this he mingt stand out as an
individual to Mr.. Herp. A little chat
with him might lead to something.
Mr.. Herp was gone for some time.
Charlie smiled reassuringly at Caro-
line.
At last he heard Mr.. Herps voice.
''Downey, my wife tells me that dog
was sent to my son by friend. Now.
my son has gone to Boston, so we
won't want that dog"
"But, Mr.. Herp-" began Charlie
feebly.
Don't mention it, Downey. It's per-
fectly all right. The dogs yours!"
