'CHISELERS' IN

LOANS BY RUSE
Home Loans Are Secured

WASHINGTON. July l3-Three
members Of congress. II was dis

agency for the relief Of distressed
mortgage debtors.
The loans, one To a senator and
two 10 representatives, have since
been legaized by sleeper" which
was slipped into the housing act IN
the closing days Of the last con-
gress.
Before the rider was adopted,
criminal statutes forbade a member
OF congress TO make a contract with
the government, on pain Of a $4,000
fine and the voiding Of the contract.

The rider. 50 technically worded

Of congress.

baTraSsing position If more mem

would hesitate TO reject a con-
gTeSSman'S application.
Distress Is Essential
On the other hand. the HOLES
recently frightened eligibility re-
quirements for loans would preclude
mortgage refnancing by congress-
men If given strict Interpretation.
The new regulations provide that
the mOrtgagOr must be actually in
distress in his mortgage payments,
and that he can not receive HOLO
aid for the purpose Of easing other
debt burdens.
Under these regulations, officials
find 1t hard to see how a S9,500-
a-year congressman can be in dis
tresS when the relief is limited by
law to mortgages not exceeding
$4,000.
The maneuvers by which congress
circumvented the old restrictions in
laws of 1877 and 1909 ran like this:
Last January, on a plea that
farmer-memberS of congress could
not cooperate with the agricultural
adjustment program, a bill was
passed which permitted them 10
make crop reduction contracts with
the AAA and receive benefit pay

that the government should take over the entire business of making war material. ..
 Immensity of such an inyestt- gatlon and ramifications of the tn- dustry. extending into almost every phase of peaceful life. would starr tie the average citizen. He would learn. for example, that every farmer who grows an acre of cot- ton is a potential munitionsmakers and that every man who makes an automobile, tractor or an arl" plane is linked, however, tenu. ously, to production of war mater~ ia1.
 The step from peace to war is abrupt, Except for those few maK- CTS of guns, projectiles. explosives and warships whose manufacture is paid for by legislative appro- priation, most of the munitions companies are engaged in enter prises to advance, art and human comfort.
 The basic, raw materials in mu- nitions are the same that go into building civilization. The ingredi- ents that go into product that will blow a soldier to pieces also go. in different form, into products that will cure his fellow-soldier's wounds and patch him up to be shot at again.
 Nitrates, used to increase fertii- ity of farm land, are the basis for high explosives.
 In time of war, motor cars and tractors become tanks and ton- mercial planes become air-bombers. Cotton becomes, gun-powder and picric acid becomes T. N. T.

 Nothing Doing Say Registrars
 No time will be convenient to the registrars, MT Dillane and MT O'Connor stated this morning. All the records of the 1882 and 1893 voting lists open to the public are on file in the town clerks office, The registrars added today that they have finished their work on those two elections and are now earning their annual salaries from the city compiling the 1884 voting list. The official list for the last election, on file in the town clerks office, was signed and certified to by 20 moderators, 40 assistant reg istrars and 40 checkers.
 That leaves this office out of the question:" the registrars de- clared this morning.
 The next step. ho doubt, will be taken by the Pape-Stevenson forces by bringing the matter before the superior court for an order opening the registrars office records to them. The outcome of such action will be watched with interest throughout the state, it is felt, for such an order, if passed. will set a precedent, according to opinions expressed.

 The assurance, it was revealed, was given by Maj Gen Benjamin D. Foulois, chief of the air corps, who was quoted by post office off, cjals as expressing enthusiasm over the army's opportunity to give its flyers new experience.
 Other high army officers, how ever, said they had not been con- suited before the order transferring the mail from private to army planes was issued.
 The senate post office committee continued hearings on the drastic new air mail bill restoring the service to private hands under provisions designed to eliminate practices which lead to the cancel lation order
 Some opposition to the bill was developing as both house and sen ate committee mem mbers criticized the measure as "too ironclad." Several changes before passage were expected.

 Cen Drum will be chairman of the committee, which will inquire into all phases of army air corps airmaiI operations to date, it was said.
 Dern's il structions creating the committee said it woul have au- thority to call witnesses and to take testimony.

 UP)-The eastern zone army air mail operations headquarters was in quarters here today. The unit was shifted during the night from Floyd Bennett Field, the New York city municipal airport, after dis pute between Major Byron 0 Jones and Mayor F. H. LaGuardio over the terms of a lease.
 Major Jones had telephoned the mayor yesterday and asked him to extend the army's lease at Floyd Bennett field, which was due to expire last midnight, until the end of the current fiscal period. This according to Jones. the mayor re. fused to do except a day to day basis.
 The mayor said the "whole thing is a misunderstanding. The army men are welcome to the field, the hangars, the furniture, equipment and every courtesy and service the city can give them. The day day lease was purely a technicality- they can stay there as long as they please"
 The unit, which has a personnel of 14 officers and 46 men, controls all army air mail operation east ward to the Mississippi river.
