Capital Architects
Burn Midnight Oil as
Orders Flood Offices

The unusually large quantity
of building in Washington in the
last few weeks, especially in the
small home construction field,
has flooded the Offices of Capital
architects and designers with
work.
Better housing activities have
uncovered a large amount Of
modernization and alteration
work, and in addition building
statistics show that more then
100 homes were listed for con-
struction in the first three weeks
Of March.
One architect who said his
Office had been swamped with
work was unable to obtain a
craftsman to assist him. In
most all the architects Offices

BANKS UNWILLING
TO LEND EXPOSED.
BY F. H. AS PLAN
Prospective Borrowers May
Get Approval by Federal
Agency.
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Believing that many banks through
out the country have not been doing
their part in the effort to revive the
construction industry through the
medium of mortgage insurance, the
Federal Housing Administration has
devised a plan to uncover the bankers
who have been turning down prospec-
tive borrowers eligible for mortgage
insurance.
The plan is in the form of a
change in procedure under Title IL,
mortgage insurance phase OF the
housing act, which permits proSpec-
tive borrowers to apply directly to the
administration through any of its
insuring offices for appraisal of prop
erty. approval of credit responsibility
of the borrower, and determination
of the eligibility of the mortgage for
insurance.
Under the original plan, the
prospective borrower applied directly
to the financial institution which had
been approved as mortgage by F. H.
A.. and from whom he anticipated
obtaining the loan. The borrower
may still do this, but If he knows his
property meets the requirements of
F. H. A. for mortgage insurance he
is almost sure of getting his loan
placed by applying ito an admins
tration Office. In Washington this
local administration office is located
on the ground floor of Housing head
quarters, Vermont avenue and K
street.
big Stick" to Banks.
In the shape of big stick to
wave over the banks, the administra-
ton now has the announcements of
two of the largest insurance COM
panies that they have several millions
Of dollars available to invest in the
insured mortgages. The F. H. A.
will use no partiality in placing the
loan applications it receives, but when
a financial institution shows a tend
ency not to cooperate, the admins
tration will seek to place the loans
elsewhere.
As one administration official ex-
pressed his Interpretation of the new
ruling of Administrator James A.
Moffett: I'VE will either smoke them
out or find out that we are wrong
about this mortgage insurance idea"
Though financial institutions in
Washington probably have shown bet
ter cooperation than those in many
sections, records show that of the
Is banks here that have been ap-
proved as mortgages by the admins
tration, only seven have submitted
applications for insurance to the
administration. In some instances
this may mean that the banks have
not been sought out by prospective
borrower, but it is known that some
banks have received applications
and have either turned down the
applicants or put them off A num-
Der of the banks apparently are not
interested in the insured mortgages,

Spring Revival of Home Buying
Planned by Loan Associations
From Is to IS Per Cent of Loans

assist in buying homes. The percent
age Of total lending which they report
to be going into such loans is close to
10 per cent already, with the actual
impetus of the Spring months yet to
be felt in this direction.
1T is noteworthy that the demand
for purchase loans is coming in much
faster than the demand for new
building loans, because this condition
is the natural result Of the discrepancy
between building costs and prices at
which existing homes may still be
had. The credit support with which
the building and loan associations
expect to swing the residential real
estate market into real recovery di-
menSions these next few months will
have its final effect in firming the
prices of existing properties and so
helping close that gap between new
building costs and the price of houses
for sale.
Undoubtedly another reason for
the tendency of the building and loan
association applicant borrower to ask
for home purchase money is that
there has not been much stress from
any Of the alphabetical agencies upon
the aid which government might
possibly give TO the buyer of an old
house. Families have been held forth
great promises of easy terms for re-
funding and for new building, but
there has been little question that
private capital will still have to be
sought when an existing home is 60
ing to be purchased. AS soon as
people are quite convinced that pri-
vate capital alone is going to finance
any new building plans which they
have, there viii be an increase in the
demand which the building and loan
associations experience for construc-
ton loans"

What Others Think

To The Omaha Guide:
I have just noticed that twenty
eight new teahers have been add
ed to the teaching staff of the pub
lie school, but not n was color
ed. | also noticed that during the
winter months that liz new ones
were added, bringing the total up
to forty-five new teachers in the
last six months. Now, I wonder
if the s~o-called influential Ne
groes feel hat they can face the
people next school board election
and advocate the election Of any
of the present board and justify
themselves when Negroes are pay
ing taxes on $4,000, 100000 worth
of property and not even a Negro
ianitor is employed in the schools
throughout the entire city.
What a deplorable condition
for free civilized people who
boast Of playing golf and bridge
tournaments and formal parties,
but no solution for our economic
ills.
Where now, are all the big Ne
groes? Like the Secretary Of the

Urban League, the President Of
the Business Mems League and
the Ministerial Alliance? Why do
they keep silent on such an i'm
portant question? The n. A. A.

Make it 10000 This Year

Sweet charity; not to mention
the desire to have a darned good
time, next week will send Oma-
ha business and professional men
into the donkey baseball lists in
a series of games sponsored by
the Omaha Junior Chamber Of
Commerce. Seven games will be
conducted, evenings, from Mon
day, June 10, through Sunday,
June 16, at the Western League
baseball park.
A total OF IA teams will play,
two each night, on the following
schedule:
Monday night-Young Republic
ans club vs.. Young Democrats
club.
Tuesday night-South Omaha
Commission Men vs.. Young Bust
ness Mems Association.
Wednesday night-Home Owners
Loan Corporation vs.. Farm Credit
Administration.
Thursday night-Optimists club
vs. Omaha School Custodians.
Saturday night-Boy Scout Elk
ecutives VS.. Cooperative club.
Sunday night-Jewish Communi-
ty Center VS.. City Hall.
All games will begin at $50
o'clock.
For those who did not see the
donkey baseball Inauguration in
Omaha last summer, let it be ex-
planned that the game is played
from the backs Of trained burros.
All players except the pitcher
and the catcher ride donkeys. The
batter is on foot until he hits the
ball; an ordinary sof ball is used,
and then he must leap astride a
waiting donkey and head for first
base.
That is, he heads for first if the
donkey feels like 1t. The base
riding donkeys mostly don't feel
like it. Generally, they are skit-
fish and Of nasty temperament.
But, some riders do get to first
base, and quite a few of them get
all the way around to home, with
a few spills en- route.
While the batter and his don
key are arguing, the men in the
field must pursue the ball on
donkey-back. When within one
stride of the ball, they can leap
off and retrive it. Then, the play
er must get back on his donkey
and throw the ball to first base,
just as in baseball.
Last year, 10000 ~guffawed at
the antics Of the donkeys and the
Omaha business men.
