Act, some building and loan asso- citations as long as a score or years ago held to the principle that this type of mortgage was sound.
 The National Housing Act con- tributes, therefore, 8 means of standardizing practices of mort gage lending which have been proved sound and safe to lender and borrower with the greater pro- lection afforded by Federal insur- ance of mortgages.
 Among the many advantages which develop and grow out of stan- dardized practices is the elimin- ation, to considerable degree, of dangerous competition among lend- CTS which might result in over lending on real property and react against the quality of the mort- gages as an investment, according to Frederick M. Babcock, chief of the underwriting section of the Federal Housing Administration.
 The long-term Federal Housing insured mortgage appears also to be gaining favor as a commercial bank investment, a fact that few months ago would have seemed in- consistent with commercial bank practices. A recent survey, how ever, showed that 39 per cent of Federal Housing insured mortgages had been handled by national banks and 32 per cent by state banks. Thus 7l per cent of Fed

Single Mortgage Plan

Radical Changes in Principles of Lending Practices
 Reported Throughout the Country

Washington, D. C.-It has taken the nations mortgage-lending busi- ness only @ little more than year to undergo Q radical change in character and to adopt principles of practice that make for long, range security and safety both to lender and borrower.
 A survey of the business today, according to officials of the federal housing administration, reveals the interesting fact that the amortized single mortgage based on high percentage of 8 correctly estimated appraised value,!has gained almost universal adoption in this country.
 While the long term arnortized mortgage actually was not intro- duced by the National Housing Act, this law at least served as the ve- hicle on which 1t has ridden to nationwide acceptance by institu- tional lenders whether they oper- ate with the additional protection of Federal Housing Administration insurance or not, officials said.
 Use of this type of mortgage for- merly was confined largely to cer- tain sections and to certain lending agencies, such as the building and loan associations. While few ex- tended over the full period of 20 years allowable under the Housing Act and virtually none for the 30 per cent of appraised value which is the maximum under the Housing

 : The climax of the play is un- usually powerful and the entire play is of vital interest to people who really try to understand why crim- inals are so prevalent in this civi- lization and the reasons for their warped minds.
 "Blind Alley" is of especial in terest to members of the medical profession, psychologists, and all people interested in the structure of mind and personality.

Some Lavish Hopes Will Be Pinned on New Tax Plan .. It's the Idea of Treas ury's Mir. Oliphant {. What! You Don't Know What E cOlOgy Means? We'll, Neither Do Some of Our COngressmen.
-RY RODNEY DUTCHER-l

 Roosevelt soaks the rich and the rich soak Mir. Roosevelt and Mfr Roosevelt soaks the rich again and if they don't look out there will bC no one left to support the American Liberty league.
 The new tax plan drips with New Deal philosophy. If congress ac. cepts 1t, the New Deal will have inched along a bit farther in shar- ing industrial wealth and restoring mass purchasing power.
 Proposal to tax corporation profits by levying on undivided Surpluscs and dividends on g get em-going -on- coming scheme was substituted at the last moment for an earlier decision by RO0se- welt to ask congress for an in- heritance tax and large assess ment against higher bracket in- comes.
 The more Roosevelt studied hi lax problem, the more this rela- lively radicsl idea appealed to him Since everything that happens fir Washington this year has a politi. cal aspect, 1t is better than Q gooc guess that the president was espe- cially impressed with the desirabil- ity of appealing to consumers, who are fed up with processing taxes on food and will now benefit by 6 great reduction in such taxes, ano to small stockholders, who pre- sumably will benefit from more and bigger dividends stimulated by the surplus tax.
 Treasury Aide Sees Idea
 There is still plenty of question here, however, whether the tax Wil work well, whether 1t will worl fairly, and whether it will be SC framed as to be proof against eva. sion.
 The man who sold this drastic revision of tax machinery to Roosevelt and to Secretary M0r- genthau was MT. Herman Oliph- ant, general counsel for the treas ury.
 Mir. MOrgenthau thinks MT. OIi- phant, once a law professor at Johns Hopkins and later legal ad- wiser to FCA under Morgenthau, Is a genius.
 That partly explains why tht cheers around here aren't less re- strained. The treasury has g Washington reputation for 6 lack of expert technical advisers. Whats Claimed for It
 Here are the various claims made for the plan:
 The rich will pay more taxes Well-to-do stockholders will pay more, too, but will receive more money in dividends. Purchasing power will expand because dividend recipients will spend more, because consumers will be able to buy more farm products, and because some of the distributed profits may go into wages.
 The holding company idea will be discouraged, because undivided surpluses won't be used to acquire subsidiaries or buy stock in other corporations - another sock at "bigness." Page Justice Brandcis and Dr. Frankfurtery
 Excess productive capacity will be discouraged, because corpora tions won't be 50 likely to expand plant unless there's pressing de- mand for 1t. Corporations won't have large surpluses to toss into the stock market and encourage dangerous hoofne
