TREE S|TTERS'
LOSE IN COURT

WOODSTOCK, Va, July IL.
Woodstock's militant feminine
"tree-sitters" have lost their bat
tie to restrain the State Highway
Department from cutting stately
old trees on a road-widening
project in front of their homes.
The Luray Appellate Court
refused restraining injunctions to
Mrs. Phineas v. Stephens and
Mrs. Lorraine French Brown,
who perched resolutely in doomed
trees two weeks ago and defied
Highway Department axemen to
chop them down.
And the only thing the tree

ages in a court of law, according
to Judge George l.. Browning,

MALT EASANCE'
: ANSWERED BY
PRETTYMAN

Striking back at the charges OF
"malfeasance in office" hurled at
him yesterday before the House
District Committee by Repre-
sentative Virginia E. Jenckes CD
of Indiana. Corporation Counsel
E. Barrett Prettyman today LAID
the blame for the unsatisfactory
situation regarding enforcement
of the small loans law directly
on Congress.
Reached by telephone in ocean
City, Md, and advised Of the
Indianan'S attack upon him and
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazer
for alleged failure to enforce the
local loan law, Mr.. Prettyman
said
"The very first day of the
present session Of Congress I
handed the District Commit
tees a long letter explaining the
situation, proposing remedial
legislation and asking them
what they wanted to do about
1t. Nothing definite has been
done to date"
HITS PROCURER
He admitted that he had made
the statement that the small
loans law has not been enforced,
but Immediately explained that
it either will not reach the
methods used by the companies
here, or, if it did, would run
them all out of business and
force those unfortunate enough
to need small loans to go to Vir-
GINA or Maryland and pay the
31a per cent monthly interest
rate charged there. He elab-
Grated:
"The companies here have
what they call a prOcurer. This
procurer doesn't actually lend
the money but merely gets it
from someone else for the
loaner. He charges a fee for
this, and that is in addition to
the regular six per cent a year
charged as interest on the loans.
The present law doesn't touch
this prOcurer, according to the
administrative cons true ton
which has been placed on the
law for the past IS or 20 years.
"AnOther thing is that the
loan companies charge you
only six per cent interest, but
also charge various other fees
which, under the adminiStra-
tive construction that has been
placed on the law here for
years, cannot be touched by
our present law.
II said publicly early this
year that / didn't agree with
the administrative construction
which has been placed on the
law by my predecessors.
CAN'T BE REACHED
However, 1 also have con-
tended that if / tried to enforce
the law, and were sustained in
my construction of it-that
these various charges could be
reached by the existing laval
the local small loan houses
would leave town.
81 say that because l know
those houses cannot do bust
ness on an interest charge of
one per cent a month, and I
have suggested to Congress that
the law be amended so that
two per cent month rate
could be charged.
about a month ago ad
vised the companies in Wash
ington that if Congress failed
to act on this legislation dur
ing this session, 1 would assign
q special prosecutor to the work
and compel the companies to
take out their $500 licenses and
cOnfine all their charges against
loans to one per cent. including
prOcurer's fees and all Others"

NEW YORK, June 5.-While steel
demand was adversely affected last
week by the end of the N. r. A., the
recession in bookings was smaller
than might have been expected. said
Iron Age today in its weekly summary
of conditions in the iron and steel
trade.
The rate of steel ingot production
declined l percentage point to a ma
tional average of 4112 per cent of
capacity. The holiday also was an
influence in the lowered activity.
Though confusion was the first
result of the sudden termination OF
code control. calm was restored rather
quickly" asserted the review, Buy
ing, which has been on a short term
basis for some time, has shown little
more than a seasonal dip.
"Hesitancy on the part Of ConSum-
ers is reflected principally in unWlll-
ingness to make commitments for the
third quarter pending clarificatlon as
to the trend of prices.
Scattered lOng-term inquiries,
some of them calling for deliveries
until the end of the year have been
put out to test the market, but to
date pressure for lower prices has
not been severe, and existing quota
tionS have held without a break.
The Spontaneity with which lead
ers of the iron and steel industry
promised maintenance of existing
wage standards, first individually and
then collectively by institute resolu
ton. augurS well for continuance
of stability rather than an early up
set of present market levels"
While still a bit nervous, the scrap
steel markets have shown some re-
covery of confidence, according to the
summary.
