HOUSING LOANS
SAVE 100000
BUILDINGS

AUSTIN, March 18 U.N.S0.
More than 100000 buildings have
been given a new lease on life
through modernization loans un-
der the Federal housing act,
James E. Moffet. Federal Housing
Administrator, told the Texas
State legislature today.
Invited to explain the housing
program, Mr.. Moffet said the
modernization plan, the insured
mortgage plan, national mortgage
associations. and low-cost housing
provided means for IAN era Of
more lasting prosperity, more and
better homes"
Defaults "Negligible"
With more than 800 million
dollars spent on rhodernization,
defaults on loans have been neg
ligible, he declared. The loans
are made on character. but are
insured by the FILA. Mr.. Moffet
said:
"I confidently predict that
thousands of financial agencies
that had never granted such .
character loan until recently
will continue the practice long
after the insurance feature Of
the mOdernizatiOn plan ceases
at the end of this year."
SAFE LOANS, GOAL
The insured mortgage plan Is
more permanent and far-reaching
than the modernization plan. Mr..
Moffet~ explained:
"It's purpose is to make IL
forever safe for financial
agencies to extend credit with
homes as a security. AS q con-
sequence, home construction
should go steadily onward at all
times. Ups and downs should
be eliminated. believe this
plan to be one of the most i'm.
pOrtant measures ever developed
for the stabilizatiOn Of pros.
perity."

charges with 13 members OF the

The gang is credited with sue

Srhulz ran away from home at

boy and skipped the ship in the
U. S. A., where he was hauled into
courts of various States on nu-
merouS charges.
In Philadelphia he was caught
by immigration authorities and
deported to Europe as an unde-
sirable alien. He started fresh
criminal career, which led him
through Scotland, Denmark and
Germany.
He finally reappeared here with
the stolen Identification papers of
an American clergyman, by means
of which he Swindled scores of
persons. Growing bolder, he or
ganized a real gang and actually
terrorized several provinces of Ger"

NEW FLOOD DUE;
5000 FLEE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 18 q.
N.S0.-Turbulent, surging flood
waters threatened new areas in
Missouri and Arkansas today.
With the White, Black and st,
Francis Rivers sucking at levees
still intact, thousands of acres of
land was threatened and farm
families scurried from their
homes.
The refugee total was estimated
at more than 5000 in 10 flood
stricken counties in Southeast
Missouri and Northeast Arkansas.
Counties Under Water
Two Arkansas counties, Craig
head and Mississippi, were re-
ported almost completely under
water. The lowland regions of
woodruff county were being evac-
uated today.
Attempts to reach families re-
ported marooned on Aliens Island
in the st. Francis River, were
futile and a fresh attempt was
to be made today.
Farmers and national guards
men patroled levees to prevent
any attempts at dynamiting to
relieve flood conditions up the
rivers or avert possible levee
breaks in threatened areas below.
Families Ordered Out
The flood was rushing over
Mississippi county and was ex-
pected to inundate more than
100000 acres by nightfall. All
t antilles in this area were
ordered from their homes.

Color Scheme
Of Boy Puzzle

LOS ANGELES, March 18.
U.N.S0.-Three-year-old Wilford
Price today had proved a color
problem to persons who had
seen the child.
Wilford has two distinct COL
orings of hair, eyes, and COM
plexion.
The hair on the left side of
his head is decidedly blond or
tow-colored, like his fathers,
while the right side is red, like
his mothers.
His left eye is blue and his
right brown, while the COM
plexion on the left side of his
face is exceptionally fair to go
with his blond hair.
So far doctors who have
examined the tot have been
unable to account for the two
distinct compilations.

BUSINESS GAIN
' Of 50 PCT.
REPORTED
H. P. Kendall, Department of
Commerce, Finds Foreign
Exports Up 27 Per Cent

Business is running from "Satis.
factory" to 80 per cent better
than this time last year, it was
announced today bysH. P. Ken.
dali, chairman of the business ad-
visory council of the Department
of Commerce.
The council is composed of So
members of large and small in
dustries. The report was made
from compilations of three-fourths
of the industries in the council.
Foreign Trade Up
Foreign trade has also picked
up substantially, the council an.
nounced. Exports shot up 27 per
cent for a total Of $2.133 ,000, 900,
as compared with imports OF
$1.655, 100000.
The "heavy industries" reported
no gains, as did railroads, cotton
and some milling products.
In its report the council found
future prospects for business
bright" The present security of
the credit structure is unQueS-
toned, in the opinion Of the coun-
Gil.
In a preface to the report DR..
Claudius T. Murchison, director
of the Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce, said the differ
ence between the import and ex-
port trade gives striking evidence
Of the necessity for bringing about
a better adjustment between
United States exports and i'm
ports"
Exports in Danger
The huge disparity between the
imports and exports, DR.. Murchi-
son noted, is partly due, to the
fact that one billion dollars in
gold was taken from the rest of
the world by the United States.
There are limits to the capacity of
foreign countries to pay in gold
and silver, DR.. Murchlson stated.
He said:
sunless merchandise imports
expand, or appropriate adjust
ments are made in service or
capital items, we cannot hope to
increase and perhaps not even
maintain, our export business"

CALLED NEED

NEW YORK, March 18 G.N.SO
A plea for the Republican party
to return to "the idealism which
brought it out of the West," was
voiced before the Women's Ma
tional Republican Club today by
John Hamilton, national commit
teeman for Kansas.
Mr.. Hamilton said that the
Western farmers were bitterly dis
appointed with the Roosevelt farm
program. In his Topeka speech in
September, 1882, Hamilton said
Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Presi
Dental nominee, had ridiculed
crop reduction "and promised a
more abundant life for the far
mer." Mr.. Hamilton continued:
"InauguratiOn came and went.
And soon the plan began to un-
fold. The man who had once
promised a policy of plenty now
forced a reduction of wheat. cot
ton, corn and brought about the
slaughter of more than 100000
Of hogs.
"In the carrying out of the
plan the promise that its opera
tiOn should be left in the hands
of local authorities was shame
lessIy violated. A horde of pOlit-
tical appOinteeS fell upon the
land like the visitation of the
locusts upon Egypt.

year the farmer found that his
foreign markets were lost"
