SILVER FACTS
ASKED BY BLOC

The Senate silver bloc" has
called upon the Treasury for an
accounting" under the new silver
law, which may result in dis.
closure of operations of the ST.
O00,000,000 currency stabilization
fund.
Preparing for a drive for re-
monetization of the white metal
in the forthcoming Congress, the
bloc's leaders expect the account
ing" to reveal whether the law
has been carried out in spirit.
While huge purchases of silver
were authorized by Congress in
the compromise arranged with
the "silver bloc" many members
have complained that Secretary
Of the Treasury Morgenthau has
not been energetic enough in
building up stocks of metal
Reports that the Treasury
turned the silver purchase pro.
gram over to the Federal Reserve
Board, and it, in turn, to member
banks, has stirred silver hackers.

Girl Held in Snatch
OF 4-Day-Old Baby

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 81
U.N.SD.-Charged with snatching
a four-day-old infant from the
arms of its mother in a kidnapping
attempt, Mrs. Dorothy Marsh, 10,
was held in the city prison here
today, unable to provide $4,000
bond.
Mrs. Marsh was arrested when
Mrs. Joseph Robbins, 25, wife Of
a FERA worker, reported that her
infant son had been kidnapped by
a woman who posed as a social
worker, The snatching of the in
fant. police said, was part of a
plan by Mrs. Marsh to affect a
reconciliation with her husband.
The Washington times., 1934-12-21

provides for the establishment of
national mortgage associations,
private associations to be char
tered and partly regulated by the
Federal Housing Administration.
It will be the purpose of these
associations, which must have an
original capital of at least $5,000,-
900, to sponsor resale facilities for
the insured mortgages and to Gre
ate more stable, liquid mortgage
market.
In other words, the Federal
Government, in setting up the
housing administration, made ST.
100000 available for immedi-
ate use in housing activities.
Half this sum was to be used
for new construction financing
under Title II and the other half
for Title III, which will serve the
valuable purpose of aiding banks
and building loan associations to
discount their mortgage securi-
ties and to place the cash OBJ
tained in new fields of conStruc-
ton activity.
It can be seen readily that the
privilege allowed the banks to re-
discount their mortgages through
the Federal Reserve System would
sooner or later result in freezing
these securities much as they
were frozen a few months ago.
The banks would still be liable
under the rediscount system.
The national mortgage associa-
tionS, on the other hand, will pur-
chase these insured mortgages
outright, and the banks will be
repaid in cash and relieved of
further responsibility for the Sc
curities.
Morris Cafritz will entertain
his employees and associates to-
morrow night at the Ambassador
Hotel with a Christmas dinner.

D, {, LOAN BILL
HEARING SET

Public hearings on the District
small loan bill now pending in
Congress will be held next Thurs
day morning in the office of Cor
poration Counsel E. Barrett Pret-
lyman in the District Building.
The bill was drawn by former
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride and is modelled after the
New York bill passed when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was Governor.
It provides that all brokers deal
ing in loans under $500 shall be
licensed, the fees to be used for
supervising the business.
Under the terms of the bill, the
superintendent of insurance would
have supervision of the loan busi-
ness.
An interest rate of 8 per cent on
the outstanding balance rather
than 8 per cent on the total loan,
as is provided at present, is set
under the new law. Fees would be
limited, from a maximum Of 10
per cent on a loan of 500 to 6
per cent on a $500 loan.

D. c. THUGS
MEMBERS Of
H|JACKERS
Mrs. Leonora Fontaine Shot
To Silence Her; Gunmen
Have D. C. Quarters

Police here today are expecting
a "break" in their search for the
brains Of a gang Of silk and
cigarette thieves. who also tried
their hand-successfully- bank
holdups and one kidnapping.
Their search is being aided
by information given them by
Mrs. Leonora Fontaine, alias Mary
Elizabeth Fontaine, %, who was
shot by gangster pals in an at
tempt to keep her from talking.
Her late sweetheart, William b.
Phillips, gunman, houSebreaker
and escaped convict, was shot
and killed here April IL by Police
man John A. Cation.
Shot in the Lung
Mrs. Fontaine is recovering in
the Delaware County Hospital at
Upper Darby, Pa, from the As
calibre pistol bullet wound which
tore through her left breast, lung
and back.
AS soon as she is able to travel,
Department of Justice agents will
put her in an armored car and
bring her to Washington, indica-
ting that the close-mouthed agents
expect to make serious charge
against someone here and that
they need her testimony in court.
They also would bring her to
Washington in order to better
protect her from the pals of her
late sweetheart.
The gang of seven, according
to the Fontaine woman's story,
operated in Washington, Rich
mond, New York and the rural
South. They stole truckloads OF
silk on northern highways and
are wanted specifically for the
hijacking of 100000 worth of
cigarettes in North Carolina and
a 5000 bank holdup in Rich
mond, as we'll as a Richmond
murder in another holdup which
went awry.
Guards Doubled
Police guards over the wounded
woman have been doubled, since
police believe the gangsters are
desperate enough to attempt to
kill her in the hospital.
Philadelphia police reported
they chased a large sedan occu-
pied by armed men, but lost it
on a side road near the hospital
on the outskirts of Philadelphia.
Police believe the leader of the
gang is in washington, headquar-
tiers for two known members, both
of whom served time in Lorton
with Phillips and who escaped
about the same time he did.
Richmond police denied reports
four of the gang had been ad-
rested there. declaring they knew
nothing of the alleged arrests.

3 BILLS To CURE
DC. ILLS DUE To
TIMES DRIVE
Sen. King and Rep. Norton Ask
Autonomy and Primary
In Local Affairs
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Results are appearing from the
campaign of The washington
Times recently to call attention to
weaknesses and defects in the
form of government of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Two bills have already been in
troduced in Congress for the pur-
pose of improving conditions so
far as District administration and
the handling of District affairs
are concerned. A third is under
consideration by District officials
prior to its introduction in Con-
gresS.
The bill introduced by Senator
William H. King (DD, chairman
of the Senate District Commit
tee, to extend the powers of the
Commissioners of the District of
Columbia, is designed to remedy
the principal difficulties brought
out by the series of articles pub
lished recently in The Times.
Agree On Autonomy Need
These articles, initiated by a
series of five prepared by Sena-'
tor Millard z. Tydings CD Of
Maryland, and followed by other
articles by Senator Arthur Cap
per R0, of Kansas, Senator
King, Representative Fred A.
Britten (RO of Illinois, and Rep
resentative Virginia E. Jenckes
DD of Indiana, represented g.
cross-section of congressional
opinion as to the relationship of
the Government of the District
to Congress, and proposed great
er degree of autonomy for the
District in order to give Congress
more free time for national legis-
lation.
All five members of Congress
were unanimous in the view that
this was necessary and desirable,
and the bill introduced by Sena'
tor King is regarded by Senator
Tydings as admirably designed to
meet his criticisms. which were
perhaps most detailed of all those
presented in the series.
Primary Here Considered
The second of the three bills,
introduced by Representative
Mary T. Norton (D0, chairman
of the House District Committee,
embodies a plan for primary
elections in the District, so that
residents of this city may have
the opportunity to vote for dele
gates to the national conventions
of the various national political
parties.
The third bill, not yet finally
drafted, is designed to remedy
another problem of Importance
in the District Government.
The three bills will be analyzed
in The Times in the immediate
future, in order that residents of
Washington may be fully inform
ed as to their purposes and the
means whereby their aims are to
be achieved.

FARLEY 'HUNCH'
WINS, 8 To |

Here's a story that proves a
lot of things about Postmaster
General James A. Farley-that
he's Irish, that he makes "hunch"
bets on horses and that he's
lucky.
The story goes that when "Ge-
nial jim" went to st. Louis, Mo-,
last week, he gave instructions to
First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral William w. Howes, who was
going to the Havre de Grace
track on Saturday, to bet on a
horse for him.
His instructions to Mr.. Howes
were that he should look over
the list of entries and bet the
first horse with an Irish name
and who was being ridden by a
jockey wearing green colors.
Mr.. Howes did as he was told.
The horse was De Valera, who
paid to 1.
The story goes further that
Mr.. Howes did not trust his
chiefs hunch and failed to place
a bet of his own on the horse.
