The Republicans are going to
go through the motions in the
election campaign. but their
hearts won't be in their work.
For a while they were whistling
in the dark and making a show
of courage, but since the result IN
Maine they have little hope and

get them to admit it-pr1Vately'
of course.
Those who face the facts ad-
NIT the G. o. P. is going to lose
some seats in the Senate this NO
vember, and they do not expect to
make great gains in the House.
When the Republicans tell you
these things, they also tell you the
reason for their pessimiSm.
Some have one name for II,
some another, but all mean the
same thing.
The Republican who tells you
"the voters are not going to shoot
Santa Claus" and the one who
says 1.-The Democrats are bribing
the nation" are merely using diff
ferent words. They are talking
the same language.
It is evident to anyone who
talks to these gentlemen that
they sincerely believe the nation
is being bribed to vote for the
Democratic party.
How, the Republicans ask, can
we make Roadway against the

ontInued from rage
or under a lease that has so years
to run.
Must Be Owned or Leased
In other words. the property
must be owned outright, or be
leased under suitable conditions.
Outright ownership does not mean
that there shall be no mortgages
or other liens on the property.
These may exist, and the property
owner will still be eligible for q
loan, provided the private finan.
cial institution to which applica-
ton is made decides that the
liens do not affect the property
owners ability to repay the loan.
There arises in this connection
the point whether or not the prop
erty owner can sell the property
during the period in which he is
to repay the modernization loan.
Private financial institutions
which do not desire to face this
contingency in connection with
loans they grant may, if they so
desire, provide in the necessary
notes that the property shall not
be sold or otherwise changed IN
ownership during the length OF
life of the loans.
ShOrt-Term Loans Favored
Although the regulations state
that the loans may extend for as
long as five years, it is recon.
mended by the Federal Housing
Administration that they shall
not extend longer than the poten-
tial life of the improvements
which they are intended to
finance.
Thus, if a loan is obtained to
assist in the purchase of a piece
of new permanent equipment, the
loan should not be for a period
longer than the period in which
the equipment will be useful.
Should Get Advice
Since the loans can be granted
only by private financial institu.
tions like banks and building and
loan associations, which must be

essary for a property owner to
know where to apply.
Although it is always advisable
to go to a contractor before max
ing application for a loan, so that
he can give estimates and assist
in procuring the loan, it is neces-
sary in some cases to approach
q bank first.
Those desiring to learn the
names of the approved banks near
their property need only to write

it the Robins, after his friend
and former partner at Dover
Hall, Wilbert Robinson.
If he can lure Babe Ruth
across the bridge to assume the
management of the team, his
coup will be complete.
There's an interesting ia e
from St. Louis which says that
Gabby Street may come here as
manager. Gabby surely has a
fine background and has proved
his ability to manage ball clubs.
He was bucked off the st. Louis
whirligig where managers were
CHI ranged as Branch Hickey
shaved. Just the same, he's a
whale of a manager and might
do mighty we'll in this city where
he has so many friends.
The Washington times., 1934-11-01

He has a rare capacity OF max
ing friends, and with the Yankees
embarked on a policy of austere
aloofness; the Giants fighting
with all corners. it would be a
breeze to make the Dodgers the
outstanding club of the league.
1t was Huston who was respon-
sible for bringing Babe Ruth to
New York. He had to argue long
and loud before his partner, Col.
Jacob Rupert, was won over to the
idea. It was Huston who con-
doned and forgave Babe Ruth
for all his attractions of the rules
that made the Bambino first page
news through the early years OF
his career with the Yankees. 1t
was Huston who bought ball play
ers right and left, undiSmayed by
repeated failures of the men ae-
lected.
Never WINGED
He never WINGED, even when the
financial reports showed deficit
of q cool 100000. He finally
put together a winning team, but
sold out his interests before the
Yanks won their first world series
in 1923.
Colonel huston, with the can
dor that was so characteristic OF
him, stated boldly that Babe Ruth
was the most underpaid player in
the world, and that at a time
when the country gasped at
Babes $4,000 salary. Huston said
that Ruth should be paid 100000
per year and asked that the seven
other clubs of the American
League. contribute sufficient funds
to bring his salary to that total.
OF course, they refused. But they
gladly pocketed the money that
Ruth drew through their gates.
Upon retiring from partnership
In the Yankees, Huston went to
Georgia and turned gentleman
farmer.
Spends Lavishly
He devoted his engineering tai
ents to developing country that
experts had abandoned as un-
suited to agriculture. He spent
money with lavish hand. but he is
now reaping benefits ten-fold.
Huston became part owner of
the Yankees in 1915. During the
Spanish-American War he was
captain in the Engineers and per-
formed meritoriously in Cuba.
When America entered the war
against Germany he set aside his
business interests and went over
seas to the fighting front. He was
under shell fire repeatedly. and on
one occasion he and his life long
friend, that distinguished soldier
and journalist, Col. Bozeman Bull
ger, now resting in Arlington, were
cut off from their troops.
They got back safely.

FACES DELAY

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 25.
From all indications, Virginia's
Representatives in Congress will
have to run at large in their cam
paigns this year for the second
time.
This situation is brought about
BY the fact the Senate sent back
to its Committee on Privileges
and Elections the Holt redistrict-
ing bill. It is being fought by
Senator John S. Battle, Albemarle,
because it puts his county and the
city Of Charlottesville in the
Eighth district. It now is in the
Seventh Congressional district.
The committee will begin re-
consideration Of the bill next
Wednesday, but there is not
enough strength behind it to
make it an emergency measure
and thus it will become effective
80 days after the close of the ses-
sion If it is passed. The 9O-day
delay would make it too late for
those filing for the Democratic
primary in August.

CITY VOTERS HIT
COUNCIL PLAN

Committees from the Alexan-
dria Voters League, the Sixth
Ward Citizens Association, and the
Chamber of Commerce will go to
Richmond to fight the proposed
change in the city charter where
by the city council would be given
the privilege of filling vacancies
on the council instead of calling
an election.
The proposed change in the
charter, which was first made
known to a majority of Alexan-
dria residents through newspaper
stories already has become an
issue in the approaching council
elections.
Candidates for the Democratic
primary for council must file their
petitions and pay their entrance
fees before next Friday to par
ticipate in the primary.

ny International News Service

~ International News Service
Administration prepared today
to seek early indictment of for
mer Postmaster General Walter
r. Brown and several others on
charges growing out of the ocean
and air mail investigation by the
Black Senate committee.
The basis also was laid for
early action seeking to abrogate
some of the ocean and air mail
contracts on the ground they
were awarded illegally.
Coincident with these develop
mentS, the Senate approved q
resolution greatly broadening the
committees power by including
holding companies and aircraft
equipment concerns in the scope
Of the investigation.
Hearings Postponed
Senator Black CD of Alabama.
postponed further hearings in the
air mail scandals until next week.
He conferred with Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings and later with
Carl L. Ristine, special assistant
to Cummings, assigned to handle
the Governments cases.
Ristine flunged into the work Of
examining dramatic evidence OBJ
tained by Black, some of which
has been spread on the record and
some Of which has been withheld
pending action by the Department
Of Justice.
Criminal charges now being
studied by Ristine include: De-
Struction of Government records,
theft Of Government papers, al
teration Of official documents,
conspiracy to defraud the Gov.
eminent, conspiracy to violate
anti-monopoly acts, awarding of
contracts in violation Of express
provisions of law, and unlawful
approval Of vouchers for the ex-
penditure Of huge sums to holders
GG mail subsidies.
Glover Also Implicated
Former Assistant Postmaster
General w. Irving Glover is i'm.
plicated by testimony that he,
with Brown, made a bonfire Of
air. mail files he claimed were
personal" but which the Black
committees investigators claim
to have been official.
Although the Department. Of
Justice is devoting it's initial ef.
forts to the criminal aspects Of
evidence developed by the COM
mittee, it has begun assembling
data that may be used later in
an effort to cancel several big
ocean and air mail contracts.

T. S. Moves to Check Rapid Return FlO1U of Capital
From Abroad; MOneta1Y PrOqram Success Threatened

/ on financial markets and the OPP
Grafton Of the Roosevelt monetary
program. Initial steps to bring this
influx under control, the United
Press was told, were the reductions
in the New York and the Cleveland
federal reserve bank rediscount
rates.
The cut in these rates and pos
sible reductions in other reserve dis
trictS were "a move to ease credit
conditions to promote industrial bor-
rowing and at the same time render
the American market less attrac-
tive to returning capital. Other
steps to control the heavy return

tatively to be under consideration.

were understood to have been linn

such gold currencies as the French

trary to the movements desired by
the United States.
It's bid of S35 per ounce for gold
served to give the United States
power to dictate" world price lev
els indirectly, but the influence of
the gold buying in depreciating the
dollar was more than offset by the
heavy influx of foreign capital.
Generally speaking, capital flow
ing to this country would cause an
advance in the price Of the dollar
because foreign currencies are trans
ferred into the American unit. Con-
versely, purchase of gold by the
United States with dollars would
tend to increase the supply Of dol
lars and lower the price.
Effects of the s35 per ounce gold
price bid in holding down dollar
quotations were believed in some
quarters to have been unantic-
ipated before Inauguration Of the
program. Huge amounts of foreign
gold have been attracted by the
American bid. The United States
it was understood was more con-
cerned with pegging the gold price
than in buying more gold to add to
its already enormous stock.
