BETTY COW BACK TO
TELL KIDNAP STORY
fContinued from mage one)

(COnLlHu6u llOlIl ofS'
life, when the Aquitania locked.
Miss Cow is one of the most
important witnesses in the Haupt-
mann trial, which starts January
.. 1t was she who tip-toed into
the bedroom during dinner IN
Hopewell, N. j.. on the night OF
March /. Little Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, Jr., was sleeping.
Two hours later-about 10
o'clock-Colonel Lindbergh him
self went into the room. The crib
was empty. The baby was gone.
A broken ladder, a note on the
window sill were all the signs the
kidnaper had left.
Through an exact description
by Miss Cow of certain details,
possibly through some slight de-
tail in the affairs about the Lind
bergh household authorities hope
to forge a link that will bind Bru-
no Hauptmann to the murder.
Three days after the kidnapping
Betty's boy friend, Henry "Red,'
johnson, was arrested in Hartford,
Conn. He had a green sedan and
a milk bottle. A man in a green
sedan had asked the way to the
Lindbergh home on the highway
near Hopewell the day before the
KIDNAPPING.
Subsequently Johnson was re-
leased and deported to Norway.
Betty, who had been under suspl-
cion, was eXonerated.
She left for her home in Scot
land, in good standing with the
Lindberghs, on August a, 1882.
She returned at the request of
United States and New Jersey
authorities.

CAPITAL SEEKS

MORTGAGE LIENS
Federal Savings and Loan
Groups Do Thriving
Business.
BIZ Times SpeciaI

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Evidence
that private capital, when properly
safeguarded, actively is seeking in
vestment in home mortgage leans
is afforded by the ITS per cent in
crease in less than six months in
the amount of private subscriptions
paid on shares of 262 recently or
gained Federal savings and loan
associations and by the AZ per cent
increase in the number of different
individual accounts held by these
institutions, according to a state
ment of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board today.
During the same period, the state
ment says, the number of people
who have invested savings in these
new institutions increased from 49,
631 to 22,289. The average amount
paid in on shares by each private
shareholder rose from $102 to $195.
The same associations, not yet a
year old, already have made long
term loans to some 1000 home own
ers to the amount of $6,934 ,065.
Resources Exceed lis Millions
Similar activity is reported by 1870
Federal associations which are not
newly organized, but are coverted
from former state-chartered insti-
tutionS whose aggregate resources
exceed 115,000,000.
One such association, formed last
February, has stated that its rev.
enue from private investors has in
creased at the rate of more than
100000 month as a result of con-
version to Federal charter, these
additional funds now being avail
able for loans to home owners in its
community.
Illustrating the reason for the rap
id rise in the resources of these pri-
vately managed thrift institutions
under Federal charter, The Home
Loan Bank Board cites the instance
Of one such now association, located
IN New York.
A retired business man first called
at the associations offices in July,
| making the small initial INSTALL
ment of $40 on shares of the asso-
citation. In the following five months
he has made fifteen further pay
ments, and already has placed over
$4,000 of his savings in that associa-
TONS shares through such INSTALL
mentS.
-
In commenting upon the growth
of Federal associations, John H.
Fahey, chairman of the Home Loan
Bank Board, said, "a gratifying
thing about this increase in private
investment in Federal Savings and
Loan Associations is that it took
place prior to the actual insurance
of accounts held in these institu-
tions, and therefore does not re-
fleet the value of this additional
safeguard in attracting the savings
of the people.
During the last few weeks, nearly
300 Federal Savings and Loan ASSo-
Citations have certified for insurance
by the Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corp. Every investor in
such an insured institution is fully
protected up to $4,000. 1t is hoped
that within short time, insurance
will be extended to all the 592 Fed
eral Savings and Loan Associations
so far chartered, which are now
actively carrying on their thrift and
home financing functions in some
500 townSa nd cities in 30 different
states and to some so state CHAIR
tered institutions which have ap-
piled for insurance.

JOBLESS, OLD
ACE INSURANCE
PROVE POPULAR
SIS Per Cent of Congress
men Pledge Program
Support. Is Claim.

By ScviDps-Hoirard ketcspdper AHiance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's forthcoming Sc
curity program. now expected TO
cover both unemployment and old
age. will meet an ardent welcome
at the hands Of Congress and the
States, according to Abraham Ep-
stein. executive secretary of the
American Association for Social Sc
curity.
IN tOday's issue of Social Sc
curity." Mr.. Epstein analysed the
November election returns to show
that new National and State Of
hcials owe much Of their security
to a tremendous popular sentiment
for Federal and State security laws.
This sentiment. he said. is strong
not only in labor and middle-class
groups. but also among enlightened
big business men.
Governors support Legislation
A majority of the new Governors
and new Congressman favor social
insurance, Mr.. Epstein reported. He
said % Of the new Governors advo-
Gated some type of social insurance
in their campaigns while five in
cumbents already we're on record.
Thus 81 Governors out of the 48
are open advocates.
A newspaper poll indicates, he
said. that Sc per cent Of the new
members Of Congress are for a Fed
eral old-age pension measure. and
only II per cent against. Fully 40
per cent of the members declared
themselves for some form of Fed
lral unemployment insurance.
Practically all the NRA code au-
Rorities that replied to question
kaire Of the business advisory and
planning council favored some form
of unemployment insurance. Most
of the code authorities favored COM
pulsory legislation, but some thought
voluntary systems might suffice.
The Presidents Economic Sc
curity Advisory Council is meeting
in Washington now. Its chairman,
DR.. Frank P. Graham, president of
the University of North Carolina,
was quoted by Mr.. Epstein as fol-
lows:
Recovery Means Security
THE people all over America, we
believe, wish to make a more in
telligent provision for the economic
security of underprivileged children,
the sick and disabled, the unem-
ployed and the old. 1t is a shallow
recovery that would sacrifice the Sc
curity of millions of people.
THE economic security of the in
dividual contributes to the security
and well-being of the nation, and
the recovery of the nation contrib
utes to the security and well-being
of the individual"
Harry Hopkins, relief adminis-
traitor, was quoted as saying: For
the life of me, I can not see why
we should wait until kingdom come
to give security to the workers of
America. I am convinced that now
is the hour to act. And by bold
stroke, we'll get it."
Ogden Mills was listed as favoring
contributory jobless insurance. So
was Gerard Swope, head of General
Electric. Edward Filene. the Bos-
ton merchant. called on business to
support not only unemployment in
surance but old age and health in
surance as well. Other business
men were quoted as favoring one or
another form of security legislation.
