FILA Director Has
 Conference Local
 Bank on Situation
Active Developments Expect ed Soon F. H. A. Program
 to Interested NOmeites

John E. Pegues Territorial Direc- tor of the Federal Housing Admins tration for Alaska, who arrived Nome Saturday, conferred with the officials of the local Miners and Mer chants Bank, President G. R. Jack son and Vice-President Ira D Orton, Sunday, regarding the present setup for the active participation by Nome ties in the FILA better housing pro- gram.
 Mir. Pegues said: "The Miners and Merchants Bank of Alaska, at Nome is completely qualified under Title One to participate and has on hand the necessary applications by which responsible persons may apply for loans under regulations of this title
 "The bank has applied under Title Two to Washington, D. C., and should receive the proper qualifica- ton in the near future"
 With respect to the $5O,OOO clause, or extension of Title One, MT. Pe- gues referred to a recent article re- leased by the authorities in Wash ington and which appears in today's issue in another column, regarding regulations and other specifications.
 The Director is now established in the U. s. Reindeer Office in the AL aSka Road Commission building on First Avenue, and is available for the purpose of clearing up any mat ters pertaining to the applications for loans under Title One. He has ocered to help interested parties fill out their applications which are to be made to the local bank.
 ''The bank will pass on the appli- cations as being approved or reject ed, depending upon the credit risk involved" said MT. Pegues.
 The FILA Director for the Terri tory stated he would probably be in Nome for the balance of the week, in order to afford full opportunity to those who desired obtaining infor- nation regarding modernization of homes, construction of buildings and improvements along housing lines.

Seven Years of Fear.

A man has just been arrested in New
York for the preparation of a series of
frauds in connection with the handling
of insurance checks. He acted as agent
of both the insuring corporation and the
insured individual. 1t is alleged that he
forged names on dividend checks issued
by the companies to patrons and sent to
them through his hands. Estimates place
his peculations during seven years at
more than a quarter of million dollars.
When he was arrested he made no
defense or denial. but, according to the
news reports, he said to the detectives
who took him into custody: ST have been
expecting this for seven years." What a
ghastly life to lead! For seven years this
man has been in fear of reprisal, of
exposure and punishment. In any hour
of every day of those seven years-more
than twenty-five hundred days and more
than sixty thousand hours-this sword
might have fallen upon his head, and he
knew it.
Between the crook who dares greatly
in burglary and thieving assault, riSking
his own life In the commission Of his
crime, and the scheming swindler who
Evening star., 1935-10-02

risks only his liberty and reputation there
Is a marked moral difference. The high
wayman and the gangster have physical
bravery that carries them through their
dangerous jobs as long as their luck lasts.
The swindler needs a different kind of
courage-the capacity to face the long
drawn-out peril of discovery without Civ
ing token of his dread. Neither kind of
bravery is comrnendable. It's possession
by the crooked minded is one of the most
prolific causes Of crime.
1t is possible to feel certain sense Of
pity for such man as this, who has just
been caught after seven years of fraud.
First, that he was crooked minded,
whereas If he had been straight he would
have been quite as successful and immune
to daily, hourly dread. Then a pity that
an unmistakable talent for winning the
confidence of people was prostituted for
the illicit gain of a quarter of million
dollars, which is paltry return for seven
years of fear.

Making Religious History.

At Constitution Hall this evening a
great interdenominational meeting in the
interests of a renaissance of religion in
the Nations Capital Is to be held. Lead
ers of the Roman Catholic, Protestant
and Hebrew faiths will join in a reaf-
tlrmation of the basic value of the worship
of the universal Father of Mankind. The
event, it well may be, has epoch making
significance.
Thoughtful people of all creeds and
classes long have labored toward prag-
matte unity of purpose such as that which
is represented in the current effort. With
out compromise of convictions they have
stressed the importance of the goal to
which religion aims-the enlargement Of
the spiritual life of humanity. But
hitherto there have been difficulties which
could not be surmounted, hindrances
which could not be overcome. The agony
through which the masses have passed
since 1914, however. has cleared the path.
War and revolution, famine and plague,
series of disasters have purified the
minds of millions, cleansed their hearts,
brought them to a tolerance and a
charity which nothing but suffering
could have achieved. And so it happens
that at last it is possible for plain men
and women to meet on one common
platform of love of God and mercy for
His children. The price, certainly, has
been heavy. But the prize, providentially,
should be worth its cost.
If Washington can demonstrate a
comprehensive religious fellowship, other
communities throughout the land
throughout the world-can do as much.
The cause is the most momentous of
which any individual can conceive and
merits the support of every soul not hope
leSsly dedicated to self. Tonight's gath
ering may make history. Even the wish
that it may do so is worthy of chron-
icling.

Equitable Distribution
OF Aid Funds Urged

To the Editor OF The Star
Concerning comments made from time
to time on our costly relief program, and
particularly the article appearing rather
recently in The Sunday Star under the
caption, Taxpayer Group Hits Aid
Spending" I, too, also taxpayer. Won
der where this orgy of spending is taking
us and our children, even unto the third
and fourth generations" Unlike the
Washington Taxpayers Protective Asso-
citation, however, am not perturbed
about what is done for any one group
over and above the other. be it white
or black. I desire only that distribution
of funds be equitably made-for salaried
positions as regards ability and in relief
as to needs.
The association has demanded the
cessation of relief seemingly because too
large number Of its colored brothers
are on the rolls. Does this number in
clude the many who have enrolled for
relief but as yet receive none? The num-
Der of dollars actually received by this
large number of persons was not given.
Why? The association surely knows that
its own group is getting by far the ma jor
portion of the relief funds, in salaries
within the machinery set up and in relief.
ne dSSOCldGIOIl SIlOWS lGSclI lcSS mag
unanimous than the group it strikes at.
Among the many whom I hear discuss
the relief program and its resultant tax
burden, not one has taken stand COM
parable to that of the association.
Colored Washingtonians are getting
rather fed up on these recurring spaSms
anent the colored relief situation, the
causes of which date beyond that ''migra-
ton from the South for the more liberal
handouts here" as cited by the asso-
citation.
Always the colored mans economic
condition has been relative. For the
same Job he has received less pay than
the white man and out of it paid higher
rental and purchase prices for the same
property. He could keep his job as long
as the white man had a better one.
Came the depression, accompanied by
his replacement with the white man in
practically every field of labor, from Gov
ernment employe to street sweeper and
garbage collector. 1t should be obvious,
even to the taxpayers protectors, that
each such replacement made one less
white and one more colored unem-
ployed.
Persons teaching elsewhere returned
home because small town and county
boards cut their already much-lower-
than white teachers salary below living
wages or closed out schools. These, with
the annual crop of graduates, necessarily
increased the number needing relief
In the face of such conditions what
answer could there be, save the Situa-
tion of which the association so bitterly
complains?
The colored people regret, but are not
ashamed, that so many of their group
are on relief. The shame, rather, lies
in the conditions which placed them
there. And the taxpayers protectors
demand that "from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which
he hath" MRS. REBECCA j. GRAY.
