DON'T READ ENOUGH

1t is said that in Boston, where there are seven
daily newspapers, larger humber than for, any
city of equal size in the country, the people have
the habit of reading them thoroughly. This state
ment may not be entirely true, but the fact that
the city and its envrons support seven dailies of
large circulation is one proof at least that the
readers take an interest in them-an interest that
goes to the extent Of giving them an intelligent
reading. e. :.. .....,.,...

Washington, D. C., Oct 23.-- The Home owners Loan Corpora ton, which began to operate Sept 1, 1893, has saved from mortgage Foreclosure more than 530,000 homes in every section of the country and has disbursed more than $1,600,00O. Except for its work, 2,500,000 persons would have been evicted.
 s'The HOLC was devised to serve two purposes" said its chairman, pr John H. Fahey, in an address to the convention of the Mortgagc Bankers association of America in Chicago u few days ago. Tt was intended to save worthy home owners wherever possible, and to prevent further demoralization of real estate values and the mortgage market in the interest of mil- lions of savers whose money was invested in mortgages through thousands of financial institutions. am convinced that neither the business nor banking interests have fully realized what their own dif- faculties would have been but for HOLC.,"
 pr Fahey said that the advance of $1 ,154,000,000 by the REC to restore the commercial banks of the country, making possible the Insurance of deposits and the in- crease of bank deposits by over two billion dollars within three months after deposit insurance was effective, would have been futile

Wife of August Battistella
 Says Fugitive Slayer i's Did the Killing

Sunday. Battis- tel1a. wounded three times in the abdomen and arm, died at New Haven hospital late yesterday. His wife, Rose Battistella, and four other women were questioned. V;

He died without revealing who shot him. Mrs Battisteila, investigators said, related that her husband and Miss Taruilo drove to her home Sunday afternoon and he entered the house alone. Kamirfski was there at the time, she said, and when BattiStella- threatened to beat her with a stick, he shot him. Anna Johnson, who said she wit messed the shooting, corroborated the testimony.
 Police were at first inclined to believe the story of fabrication but one investigator said today. I'm not so sure but that Kaminski .ac- tually did the shooting" He said there was positive evidence" the shooting was done by a man but refused to elaborate on his state- ment. The gun which fired the shots was not found, nor was there evidence of a struggle at Battis- tella's home.
 Mrs Battistella and Miss John- son were held without bail on cor oner's warrants. Miss Tarullo and Helen E. Taylor, this. city. were detained as material witnesses. Miss Tarullo,. 1t was understood. drove the wounded man home after the shooting and after he had been helped to his automobile. Mean- while a search was being conduct ed for Kaniinski, unreported since last seen around Rockville...- He escaped Hampden county jail where he was awaiting the death sentence for the staying of a guard during his first escape from the jail year ago.

fif the government had stopped there. It had to deal with the men acing situation in the mortgage finance, field, which soon would have reacted on the entire com mercal banking field. And If the precipitate decline of real estate value that had been in progress for three years had been allowed to contin9e, the assets behind building and loan and similar . in- stitutons, winch held 21 billions in urban home mortgages, represent ing two and q half times, the total of commercial, bank loans, would have dropped to the point where practically none of these institu- tions would have been solvent. Be- hind the mortgages, he said, are the small savings of a great army of -earners. *, Y
 "Few now question the wisdom of the president in asking for the HOLC," Dr Fahey added. "The facts on which he based his action are clear enough now. In; nor- nal times all foreclosures in this country averaged 68,000 a year. In 1JoS lHe IlSuTe FoS0 10 over ZI3,- 900. In 1883 it was 271,O0O,. and in June of 1898, when the act was passed by congress, all previous records for single month were broken when more than 26,O0O foreclosures were reported. This was unprecedented here or abroad"
 HOLC will have placed approxi- mately three billions with mort gage-lending institutions and in- dividual mortgagors before next spring, the speaker said, and stop lending by June, 1936. There will be some losses but" he declared, the corporation can take care of them out of earnings and 1t should be able to wind up It's. affairs without dollar of loss to the gov ernment." ', if! g..
