 Apartment

New York. Nov 2S--(UP) )--Mrs Abbott 1ngallis, world traveller and niece of J. P. Morgan, cooliy cap tured a burglar who attempted to rob her apartment today in Book man place.
 A steel-narved woman, inured to danger. Mrs Ingallis, the former Mabel Satterlee, was awakaned by burglar alarm to find two thieves had opened window of her ground floor apartment and climbed in.
 Instead of waiting for the alarm to summon the superintendent, Mrs Ingallis, who had been robbed by brigands in the Caucasus and who once begged her way across Rus sia, advanced unarmed to where the burglars were.
 Just as she entered the room, the burglars dashed for a window. ono of them got out, but. the other, evil dently bewildered, blundered into a clothes closet and locked the door. Pretending not to have noe ticed him, Mrs Ingliss put out the light and hid herself where she could watch the door and grapple with the burglar should he at- tempt to leave.
 The superintendent soon joined her. and both waited until police arrived and took out the hiding man. He said he was J. Jennings, 24. .

 Vinson said his committee would demand that the 5-5-3 naval ratio now in effect between Great Brit ain and Asiatic nation. be main tained. %
 Although vinson hoped Japan would recede. he said:
 "This country cannot grant naval parity to Japan even at the price of wrecking the treaties. It is my earnest hope that the treaties can be continued. If they are not. how ever. l and my committee will de- mand a consistent American pro- gram for the construction of five tons Of fighting vessels for every three Japan builds"

 While this construction program has not been inaugurated. Vinson indicated that every effort would bo made to obtain appropriation to carry out the act.

DEFENDANT WINS
 COSTS OF COURT

The defendant prevailed and is entitled to recover his court costs, says Judge Ebert Hamlin of Litchfield in a decision handed down today in the common pless court here in the case of Peter Brastauskas, Jr., of Naugatuck against Farrell J. Martin and George T. and Lucy Ryan of Wa terbury.
 The suit asking $500 damages was based on collision between -the car Brastauskas was driving and the Ryan car, driven by Mar tin on Watertown avenue May 18th 1884. Martin first struck a car driv- en by Charles Probst, near Irving ton avenue, before coming into collision with the Naugatuck car. Judge Hamlin. who tried the case because of the .ineligibility of the two Waterbury judges, Edward J.. Finn and Miles F. McNiff. says Martin was attempting to pass the Probst car. when he saw the Brastauskas car approaching. He turned in quickly but not enough to avoid the collision with the Probst car.
 Judge Hamlin says: 'It is im- possible to compensate either party because each driver was guilty of negligence. The decision adds that the plaintiff did not prevail in the action brought by him and it necessarily follows that the defend ant is the prevailing party.
 Attorney Maynard Lund of Sey- mour represented the plaintiff, Attorney Harry J. Spellman repre- scented the defendant.

Mortgages Assured
 HOLC Review Says
No Need of Fear in Future for Mortgage Structure
 Says Home Loan Bank Board

A practical plan to permit build ing and loan associations to under. take new business while at the same time hastening the liquida- tion of their present frozen assets is contained in the second article of the November Review"
 This plan recommends the se- gregation of such assets as are in- come producing from those which are not. It urges the reorganiZa- tion of building and loan associa- lions with large percentages of non- profit producing assets into two in- stitutoins: One, virile financial institution which can immediately serve the investors and borrowers of the community, and the other a liquidating agency operating un- der economical management.
 Encouraging evidence of the public confidence which the fe5- eral stamp on thrift home -financ- ing institutions commands is giv- en by a report in the Review" on the growth of new Federal Savings and Loan associations. This shows that in 282 new Federal as. sociations private investments has averaged a I'll per cent increase since their organization less then six months ago. At the same time these new associations are meeting an increasing demand by borrow CTS for mortgage accommodation.
 The November Review" con- tains other articles and tabulations devoted to problems of interest tc executives of thrift home-financing institutions, particularly the de- velopment of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and the nom- inal interest rates charged by building and loan associations throughout the country.

 cs. Executive Secretary Thom-
 ?. Kelly stated when talked
 h today that a bill renewing the tWo-year debt funding bond issue will be sought but denied having . any authentic information as yet as Co the tax rate for the coming year.
 Mayor Frank Hayes, due back in Waterbury tonight. will preside at Fridays session. At that. time the departmental budgets offered by the heads of the various munich pal divisions will go before the fi- nance commissioners for the first time.
 Executive Secretary Kelly point ed out today that it is impossible at this time to state whether there will be a reduction in the 1885 tax rate or how much the drop will be if one is ordered. The budget must first be set up, he said. and ! after the income and appropriation figures are arrived at the tax rate will then be set. According to re- liable sources. however. a drop quite small will result in the 1885 tax rate.

Washington, D. C., Nov 2S-- Mortgage men and bortgage money need have no fear for the future according to an analysis of the situation in the leading article of the November issue of the Federal Home Loan Bank Review publish ed today. The article makes plain that the creation of various Fed eral agencies dealing with home financing and housing does not mean that the government plans to take over the home-mortgage bus fness from private hands.
 To dispel the uncertainties which are harassing mortgage men, the article reviewrs what has happen ed to the mortgage market, what the Government has been forced to do, and what the trend for the future may be. It is shown that to check the collapse in 1883 of the hcme-financing structure was only half of the governments inn mediate task. The other half was to revive the mortgage market and reopen general investment chan flels to mortgages. This. it is said, could be accomplished only by cor recting deep-rooted weaknesses :n the mortgage structure, particular ly the widespread use of the short- term unamortized loan and of sec ond mortgages.
 To correct these defects, the ar ticle states, is the purpose of each of the permanent agencies under the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and the Federal Housing administration. The government S program aims by providing ade- quate safeguards "to stimulate n flow of private funds under terms fair to the lender and favorable to the borrower"
 The article concludes with an analysis of the immense need for refinancing of existing mortgages on residential and commercial pro- perties and the financing of new mortgages to provide new homes.
 "All the qualified mortgage tal- ent available and more," the ar ticle concludes, twill be required in recasting this huge volume of mortgage indebtedness in long, term form which again will com- mand the confidence of investment markets. With the existing situ- ation rationalized in the light of present values, the groundwork will be laid for a revival of build- ing construction and of new mort gage financing"

MUNITION MAKERS
 PROBE DESCRIBED

Results of the senate investiga- tion being conducted by commit tee in charge of Senator Nye of North Dakota substantiate the charges made against the munition makers of this country, and will prove even more revealing in the future, Attorney Frederick C. Smedley declared at the meeting of the Kiwanis club at the Elton to-day.
 He said that the indictment made by the League of Nations against armament makers of Europe would also be found to apply equally as we'll to manufacturers in Amer ica. The league maintained that the armament makers are active in fomenting war scares; that they make Q practice of bribing gov- ernment officials; that they pro- mote false reports on naval and military programs and that they control the press to a large cx- tent.
 Mir Smedley said that evidence of an international agreement had been brought out. He told of the working agreement which was dis covered between Connecticut Submarine concern, the Electric Boat company, and Vickers, Ltd, of England.
 It had been shown, MT Smed. ley said further; that French armament firm was largely respon- sible for Hitler's rise to power, and that they subsequently, used him as "a bugaboo to keep the French people in a state of .un- rest"

 New York. Nov. (UPls- spurt in utilities in the final hour of trading on the stock exchange today lifted prices in that section and helped Fthe entire market which had been strong in the earlier dealings. Closing prices showed gains ranging to more than 2 points. A few of the special issues were up as much as 6 points. Impetus for the late buying in utilities was dispatched from Bir- mingham, Ala, that Judge William J. Grubb ruled the Tennessee Val ley Authority had no right to de- velop power for sale in competition with other power ompanies.
 Short coverings in utilities sent them fractions to 3 points above the previuos close.
 Utility shares nonopolized the tape. In few minutes it was es- timated by Dow-Jones that 50,000 shares of utility stocks chonged hands. Earlier, the utility group had been somewhat unsettled by action of the New York board of aldermen in levying 3 per cent tax on utility companies, However. traders did not take the levy seri- ously since they looked for an early rate increase in New York to-. make up the tax.
 Before the utilities picked up, in-
