H. OIL. c. DEFAULTS
MOUNT TO 2,%3.
~
Increase 858 in Month.
Borrowers Who Won't Pay
Called "WeIshers."

BY the Associated Press.
Foreclosure actions against II. o.
Il. C.. borrowers-half OF whom were
termed "welshers" who could pay up,
but wouldn't-mounted today to 2,963.
This was an increase of $50 in q
month. But there was another side
of the picture in an announcement
! of steady improvement in the propor-
) ton of prompt payments to the Home
I owners Loan Corp. On October 81,
it said, 666 per cent of payments due
had been made or were not more than
20 days overdue.
Oficials reported that 1891 Of all
foreclosure cases instituted were
against those who deliberately re-
fused" to meet payments, although
they were able to do so.
500 Pieces of Property Held.
Indications the Federal Government
has entered the Landlord" business In
a comparatively big way were given
In the statement that 648 cases have
been closed, leaving the H. o. L. c.
with some 500 pieces of property. OF
the total number, SO comprised delin-
nuentS who paid up when they realized
the H. o. L. c. meant business. Five
other pieces of property were Did In
by outsiders at foreclosure sales.
What the Government will do with
the property on its hands remains to
be seen. The first seven pieces were
disposed Of at profit of $500. Others
have been rented. The H. o. L. G.
plans to recondition houses on a wide
scale If this will increase the value
for sale purposes.
Payments Run Larger.
The announcement said in recent
months H. o. L. C. payments from the
Atlanta, Memphis and Detroit regions,
while not broken down by States, have
run larger than seems currently billed.
This was interpreted as meaning a
majority of the borrowers are not only
making current payments promptly,
but that a considerable number are
making up payments which had been
in arrears.
AS of November IA the corporation
had granted 945,739 loans totaling
$2,859, 1865, ,608. The foreclosure total
thus was the equivalent of only one
to every 800 loans granted. Virtually
all of the loans were made to relieve
home owners who faced foreclosure
proceedings under their original mort
cages.
In addition to the 1881 refusals to
pay there were 1904 property aban-
donments, 2S7 foreclosure actions be-
cause of deaths and 81 because of
various legal technicalities.

BACKS HOMESTEAD
IDEA WITH CASH
Senator -Couzens Gives Govern
ment $3.50, 900 for Project
at Pontiac, Mich.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, June Ex-senator James
Couzens Of Michigan backed up his
disagreement with the administra-
tons ideas Of the subsistence home
stead plan yesterday with a $3.50 900
gift to the Government to help estab-
lish q workingmen's homestead prof.
ect in his own State.
An important difference between
the new Plan and the old is that the
homestead will be located near the
center Of the Michigan industrial area
instead Of any attempt being made to
move industries to The homesteads.
In objecting to the subsistence
homestead plan, Senator Couzens had
commended that the cart was being
placed before the horse. The Senator
also objected to the word "subsist-
ence" because he believed it implied
placing The workers in a position Of
permanent poverty"
Associates Of Couzens said today
he may back the new homestead plan
with as much as 81 900 900 before the
project Is fully developed. Under the
present agreement with Harry L. Hop
kinS. Federal emergency relief admin
istrator, the Government has appro-
priated 100000 and after that
amount Is spent Couzens will con-
tribute an additional amount up to
$685.
The project is to be developed on
q 1,000-acre tract N the Oakland
County lake district 10 miles west of
Pontiac, automobile manufacturing
city. Not far away are Detroit, Lam
sing and Flint.
In the EAST Senator Couzens' phil
anthropies have been mainly for the
benefit Of children. His gifts for that
aid now total $20.o00,000.

PATTANGALL ASKS
COALITION TICKET.
Believes Merger of New Deal
Foes viii Defeat Roose-
Welt in SO.

BY the Associates freSss
BATH, Me-, June 20.-Nominat ton
of a presidential candidate, either a
Republican or Democrat, whose
running mate for the vice presidency
would be of the opposite party afilia-
ton, was described today by William
B. Pattangall, Maine Supreme Court
chief justice and New Deal critic, as
the "only possible way to defeat the
Roosevelt administration in 1886"
A new combination of men and
women who think alike on new issues
would be required, he said in a speech
for delivery before the Womens Re-
publican Club Of Maine.
The jurist recently wrote a letter
10 a friend in Washington which ad-
vocsted a Repubiican-De Democratic
coalition opposed to the New Deal.
Pattangal formerly was leader of
the Democratic party in Name. He
withdrew his name from the party
-olIs this year after having severely
criticized the New Deal the past year.
Urges New Party Label
For the present" he said, some
party label, free from the old preju-
diceS, should be adopted and
its platform should be sucn that
thoughtful Americans, regardless OF
former political divisions, could join
IN its support"
He said such a combination could
be designated as CONSTITUTE ,nalists"
or nationalist" or "coalitionistS.
Judge Pattanga'l said it was not
the intention of those interested that
new political party be formed, but
simply to arrange cooperation be-
tween those who think alike and
provide some means by which they
may unite their vote.
Cites Attitude Of South.
In New England, he continued,
nothing more was necessary than for
Republicans to adopt q platform and
nominate candidates appealing to in
dependent voters.
But a different situation exists, I"
ne said, Gin II States in the South,
Southwest and IN the border of the
DID dividing line between the Northern
and Southern sections"
1t is in such States, he added,
where the word Republican" mad be-
come associated with memories OF
the reconstruction period, that the
very class of citizens who are most
interested in preserving our form of
government is the least likely to
support a national ticket bearing that
title

The bouquet which France handed
to Treasury Secretary Morgenthau was
highly fragrant but unsubstantial.
Sale Of Dollars.
What Mr.. Morgenthau did was to
sell dollars at the request Of France
during the last Partisan gold crisis;
but Mr.. Morgenthau did not give any
dollars away. He got gold for them.
He left the gold on deposit in Paris.
To do anything else would have made
him a participant in the attack on
the franc. 1t helped the French mo-
mentarily; 1t did not hurt us.
What lay behind the almost profuse
thanks he received from Paris was
the fact that the French knew Britain
did not do the same thing. British
gold balances in Paris were then too
high to permit her to do it.
The reason Mr.. Roosevelt did not
send q Memorial day wreath to the
Craze OF President Garfield is be-
cause he has a personal list of en-
Presidents for tDreGth-ldyin0 pur-
poses and Garfield is not on it.
The list includes Lincoln, Washing
ton, CleDeIdnd, Jefferson, Coolidge,

The significant absentee from this
list Is not Mr.. Garfield, tDho ieas a
Republican, but AndretD Jackson,
