BLIND SINGER TO
 KNOW FATE SOON

Boston, Dec. 13-(UP)-The mur- der case of a blind street singer &C., cused of throwing his sweetheart from third-floor hotel window to her death will be given to a Suf- folk county jury today. If convicted of f1rst-degree murder, Forrest K. Wells, 29-year-old itinerant minstrel, faces a mandatory sentence of death in the electric chair. A defense mo- tion for a directed verdict was dis missed by Superior Judge Thomas J. Hammond yesterday after both sides had rested. Only final arguments and the judges charge remained be- fore Wells fate was delivered to the jury.
 Victim of the strange tragedy was Miss Helen Martin, alias Wells, 24 the defendants 95-pound companion and "eyes," whose body was found on the pavement outside Back Bay hotel July IS. The state contended the sightless singer tossed Miss Mar tin to her death, but Wells, testify ing in his own defense, said he was in another room when the young woman either jumped or fell to her death. Miss Martin had accompan- jed Wells on his wanderings, posing variously as his sister and wife, since they met nj Columbus, O., in 1927.

Acute Shortage In
 Homes Publicized
I2-POint Program Given Nationwide COmment-Fed=
 eral Savings, Loan Executive Issues Statement

Savings and Loan associations with resources exceeding $450,O00, ,000, have been chartered by the Federal Home Loan Bank board since con- gress provided for federally super vised associations in June 1883.
 Safety Assured
 "These federal thrift and home fi- nancing institutions are located in 763 cities and towns in A states" said MT. Deacon. Nearly a mill lion share holders enjoy the safety provided by the insurance of their accounts up to $5,00o," he continued. Tt is thought by the Federal Home Loan Bank board that the. insur- ance of accounts has been an i'm portant item in aiding the growth in less than two and half years of federal type of savings and loan associations into an important ele- ment in the entire private home financing structure"
 All home mortgage loans by fed eral associations are made on long term amortization basis, repayable in small, fixed monthly installments in from five to twenty years, the safest and most convenient type of long term loan for the borrower. Because it provides for a definite monthly cash payment over 8 stated term of years without entailing share investment by the borrower. this plan has proved attractive to home owners, and represents an- other cause for the rapid growth of the federal associations, in the opinion of the bank board.

Widespread public attention was given to the recent Twelve Point Program" by the committee for Economic Recovery which emphas- izes the acute shortage of homes now developing throughout the United States and offers its sug- gestions to offset the deficiency by xtensive home construction through the next ten years. That committee asserted that private enterprise should be given the re- sponsibility of about 85q6 of the en- tire program and that special at tention must be placed on homes in the $2,500-$6,000 price range fi- nanced by mortgages up to liberal proportion of property value and bearing reasonable interest rates.
 Allie S. Freed, chairman of that committee, recommended an educa- tional program to be undertaken throughout the nation to acquaint the public with the sound safe- guards for savings in private thrift institutions insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Cor poration. It was his belief that by thus attracting to those institutions a large volume of private savings at reasonable dividend rates an am- pie sum would be created for mort gage loans at moderate interest rates to home owners.
