ROOSEVELT SIGNS
H. 0. c. MEASURE
$1,750, 900 900 Increase in Loans
Authorized by New
Law.

President Roosevelt today signed
the bill increasing the capitalization
Of the Home Owners Loan Corp. by
s1.750.0OO 900. thus putting into mo-
ton the machinery making it possible
for the agency to resume receiving
applications for loans from distressed
home owners.
Preparing to meet a fresh deluge Of
appeals from debt-burdened home
owners, officials of the corporation
disclosed today that marked resistance
to their efforts to extend aid has
developed recently among mortgage
holders.
Many of the applications which
have been on file since November are
proving unacceptable, officials said
privately, and lenders heartened by
improving real estate values are re-
fusing to accept home loan bonds or
to reduce the face value of the dis
tressed mortgages they hold.
Thousands of informal requests are
now on file at field offices. These are
to be converted into formal applica-
tions as rapidly as the applicants can
make out the necessary papers.

The ancient Cyclops Of mythology
was q one-eyed giant who went about
destroying lives. He was an execu-
toner for the ancent gods, and his
Job was to hurl the deadly thunder

The "one-eyed motorist" Of today
may not have the sinister motives,
but results are often the same. Many

rectly to the fact that one of the cars
had only one light.
Lights burn out, Of course, after a
certain amount Of usage. Be pre-
pared for such an emergency by
carrying a couple of spare bulbs in
the pocket of your car. They can be

Calls Session.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Drastic concessions were held out
today to foes of T. " A. in a drive
to permit a House vote this session
on expansion of he huge admins
tratior power program in the Ten
nessee Valley.
With a compromise bill in his pock-
ct, Chairman McSwain. Democrat. of
South Carolina. called the House
Military Committee into secret ses-
sion that gave promise of renewing
a bitter, weeks-long battle over T.
v. A. act amendments.
McSwains strategy called first for
an attempt TO obtain from one of the
T. V A. opponents a motion TO re-
consider the 13-to-l2 vote by which
the committee tabled last Friday the
T. v A. amendments that already
had passed through the Senate.
But one Of the leaders, of the op-
position. Representative May, Demo-
crat. Of Kentucky reasserted his group
would not give an inch" on the
controversial legislation unless it is
written just as they want it.
Major Concessions Offered.
With that ultimatlm confronting
him. the chairman was prepared to
offer compromises which he consid-
cred acceptable 10 a majority of the
committee.
They would:
Place with the controller general
administration of funds for any con-
struction undertaken after the
Wheeler and Norris Dams. now un-
der construction, ale completed
Let the Federal Power Commission,
instead of the T. " A. directors, estab-
lish a cost accounting system under
which the T. v. A. power "yardstick"
would be determined.
Forbid sales of T. v. A. power under
the cost of production after output
increased sufficiently to carry the cost.
Give the Power Commission the right
to decide when T. v. A. was producing
surplus" power.
Prevent T. v. A. operations from
harming private business projects al
ready being developed in the Ten
nessee Basin, such as that of the
Aluminium Co. of America.
Norris Again Hits McCarl.
Meanwhile. Senator Norris, ardent
sponsor of the T. v. A.. had kept alive
the dispute with Controller General
j. r. McCarl, his one-time secretary,
by making public letter to the latter
in which he charged McCarl's in
sistence that T. v. A. expenditures
be made to conform to general statutes

Baldwin. who is expected soon to

made his plea for closer relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain in an address last night at a
meeting Of Conservative women.
IT have always believed the greatest
security against war in any part of the

Comparatively recently" he said,
''it looked as If we were getting to a

led somewhere, but at that moment
the Germans withdrew from the
League and the whole situation was
altered by the advent Of Herr Hitler
to power"
Capt Anthony Eden, lord privy seal
joined Baldwin in the advocacy of the
Anglo American cooperation.
Speaking at a women's political
gathering. he said that Great Britain's
friendship with the United States va,

CALLANDER, Ontario, May %
(NANA).-M Mrs. Olivia Dionne
mother Of the most famous babies in
the world, has q message for all the
thousands who are wishing her quin-
tuplets many happy returns" OF their
lst birthday anniversary which falls
today, and this is the message, direct
ly translated from the French:
"On this day. the birthday OF the
quintuplets, it is my hope that other
mothers are happier than I. who have
been separated from these children
the whole year"
She wrote the message, forming
the words with the painstaking de-
liberation of one who has had only
three years schooling, as she sat
at the kitchen table Of the Dionne
farm house. a long stones throw from
the well-appointed Dafoe Hospital
where five sturdy little maids are
being showered with birthday gifts.
The 26-year-old mother added her
signature-Elzire Dionne-as an aft
erthought, across the corner Of the
half-sheet Of note paper, after having
previously signed it Mother Of the
Quintuplets.'
Wants Kindness at Hospital.
"That tells just how I feel" said
Mrs. Dionne. her big brown eyes
clouded and somber. II am glad that
my babies, my five little ones. are
safely at their lst birthday, yes. But
want them myself-to feel that
I am their mother, and have some say
about what is done for them. I would
keep them in the hospital, certainly
but with people there who would
smile at me when entered, and not
turn coldly away, and who would
say How do you do and not act as
those people there now do. They
won't even look at me. am treated
worse than q stranger"
She was asked If that was why she
did not 60 oftener than once or twice
q week to see the quintuplets in their
bright hospital nursery.
THAT Is why" said their mother
and her eyes brimmed with tears
Every time I 60 to the hospital,
feel bad. And it makes me more
lonesome for my babies"
Mrs. Dionne pulled rocking chair
near the stove, for Spring days are
chilly in Northern Ontario, and
rocked in silence for a minute.
I'm going to see my babies more
from now on, anyhow. l want them
to know me and look for me-"
DR.. Dafoe Was Slow.
Mrs. Dionne was asked her feelings
toward DR.. Roy Dafoe, who brought
the children into the world. She
swept into rapid sentences:
"It was not DIR. Dafoe who saved
the babies lives, or my life. It was
lie bon Dieu. give thanks to divine
Providence. DR.. Dafoe has had toe
much praise-too much credit. Three
of the babies were born before he
came, he was so SLOW"
"Dr. Dafoe says our other chill
dren have chronic colds, and shouldn't
visit the quintuplets," said the mother
of the five 1-year-olds and Of Ernest.
8; Rose, z; Therese, 6; Dauiel, 3
and Pauline, whose second birthday
comes next month. But DR.. Dafoe
hasn't made any effcrt to treat them
for these colds. The children often
ask to 60 to see the babies We
have to tell them no."
And when the photographer, taking
her first anniversary" picture. ex-
horted her to Smile, Mrs. Dionne
please" she said, with . trace Of Bit
terness: II have nothing to smile
over"

Of extra supplies will be purchased by
the Government during the coming
supposedly slack Summer quarter year.
New Projects Lighter.
II you look into these figures you
likewise will find the labor key to the
new relief program. The old pro-
gram spent three times as much for
materials as for labor, because Of
heavy projects involved (big dams.
etc). The new projects will be Of
lighter type, so labor probably will
get slightly more than half the money.
Alphabet Increase Barred.
The alphabet soup is to have no
more ingredients, no more XYzs and
ABCs The President made that plain
the other day to a caller who recon-
mended the establishment of the new
National Labor Relations Board as
an independent agency. Emphatically
he said he wanted no more new agen-
cies of government. Any move to
set up the board outside would meet
with White House disapproval for
that reason.
IT you look up the soups history
you ,DiI find that Mr.. Roosevelt
has put so netD governmental or
gdnizdttons into it since he started.
The actual figure is so, but there is
some duplication.
This trend away from soup enlarge
ment can be noted in the new relief
set-up In it Mr.. Roosevelt Is using
about so existing Government agen-
cies, but Is creating only three new
ones DIR. Tugwell's Resettlement
Remedy Administration, the Rural
Electrifcation Administration and the
Advisory Committee on Allotments.
Ickes Writing Again.
Mr. Ickes is writing a new book.
It is not just another book explaining
now good the New Deal Is. His asso-
ciates predict it will be q scorcher,
