went down to five per cent in

through transfers to the works

No one knows how many homes
the Corporation will eventually
own, but, on the basis of records
of similar institutions. it is ex-
pected that the HOLC will .ulti-

officials have authorized fore
closure proceedings against more
than 5000 borrowers who de
faulted on payments although

dehnouent payments of more than
$100,000,000 out OF a total of
more than $40O.000.000 due. Col
lectiors, however, are improving

With the Republicans develop
ing greater optimism in a number
of Western States, forecasters of
the outcome OF the presidential
election continue to be puzzled by
the Third Party movement and to
speculate upon the source of its
votes. The combination of Cough
lin, Townsend, Lemke and Smith
is expected to draw the majority
of its supporters from the Roose-
welt fold. Generally speaking, this
seems to be the case and especially
so in regard to three of the four
involved in the mysterious mer-
ger.

tainly, it would be for Landon if
there was no Third Party candi-
date because of its well-known
bitterness toward Roosevelt. More
over. many observers believe that
the bulk OF the Townsend strength
is in the Dry-Church group which
has additionally been Republican.
The Townsend leaders assert that
a recent survey revealed that only
about ten per cent of their group
were inclined toward the Presi-

FISHING
According to LEAK Walton

The weekend will see crowds
flocking to fishing grounds, so we
recommend early reservations.
From Shady Side, Md, Capt.
Bob Lee reports fishing good. He
says that the parties are getting
a few blues and lots of rock and
weakfiSh, the latter seeming to pre-
fer June Bug spinner trailed by a
bloodworm. Off Thomas Light,
fishing has been spotty, with one
day catches of rock running from
two to 10 pounds, and no rockfish
the next day. The average size
is about two pounds and they are
hard to beat at dinner time.
Fishing at Wachapreague con-
tinueS good. Croakers, founder
and sea bass are being caught
daily.
With the change of weather,
fresh-water fishing should improve.
Down at Gunston Cove the bass
are starting to move about and
Captain Triebler will tell you
where they are biting. Most every
thing else is muddy but there is
a bare chance that the river may
clear over the weekend and if it
does you will meet a very hungry
flock of small mouths and that
is the good news. At River Runt,
the black gnat, a live Smelt, or a
Shimmy wiggler are the best bets.
We visited several points in New
England during the past few weeks
and tried our hand at the Heave
and Haul fishing for bluefiSh and
also some bottom fishing. Boats
are very much in demand, in fact
you have to reserve them weeks in
advance. The bluefiSh season off
Mantle, Old Lyme and New Lon
don has been very good, with the
fish averaging quite large in size.
We saw blues up to 10 pounds, and
that is good fish anytime. The
blackfiSh ran large, and porgies
were plentiful. Capt. Skipper"
Jones, known to many local an
glerS, with headquarters at Old
Lyme, has had a very successful
season. If you are heading North
we can slip you some "hot" dope
the snapper blues are in, all along
from Rye to Newport, and, judging
from the catches we saw, are
plenty thick.

Hanna Accused
Of Claiming
LuCuIent
(Continued from PAGE II

CONTINUED from Page II
Hanna admitted giving the horse
parting slap with a lead chain
a short piece of chain of small
gauge with a leather hand strap
on the end-as the horse left the
paddock, but denied that he
welded the instrument with vio-
lence. He said, Turner reported,
that Luculent was in good condi-
ton, but had no. been running
his best for some time. He only
gave him the slap with the chain
to wake him up, the owner was
quoted as saying.
The case has been referred to
the Maryland Racing Commission
for further action. Mr.. Turner
and the other stewards, AL Yves
ton and William G. Brooke, took
their action upon the report of
DR.. H. j. Mccarthy, track vet
erinarian and paddock judge.
DR.. McCarthy'S attention was
called to the incident by Wash
ington woman and a man who
said he was identified with the
humane society, both Of whom de-
clared they saw the horse struck
by the owner-trainer.
Luculent, five-year-old gelding
by Prince Pal out of Maid Of
India, is known as a bad actor at
the post and an inconsistent ami.
NAL. He has won but one out OF
ten starts this season and in his
race yesterday showed surprising
speed in the one and one-siXteenth
mile race, leading his field until
the last two furlongs when he quit
badly and finished fourth.
In Hanna'S defense, track fol-
lowers point out that although
Claiming" is a pernicious practice
and is done in the secrecy of the
stall, this incident was in plain
view and was no more than a part
ing slap with a harmless device
used to lead horses about the pad
dock.
