Hole Asks for 1000
Personnel Increase

Despite the fact that the Home
owners Loan Corporation is in the
process Of liquidation, more than
1000 additional employees are
asked for in the 1898 appropriation
bill, it was revealed today when
the Independent offices supply bill
was reported to the House.
In hearings before the House Ap-
preparations subcommittee on indie
pendent offices of the Govern
ment, John H. Fahey, chairman OF
the corporation, declared that at
the present time there is a greater
need for a larger personnel than
before the corporation beg a n
liquidating. Asked by Representa-.
tive Clifton A. Woodrum CD OF
Virginia, chairman of the, Subcom-
mittee, to explain this anomalous
situation" Mr.. Fahey said:
"The answer is this: That 1t
is the part of wisdom, during
these next few years, to get an
organization broken in which is
thoroughly trained, which knows
its job, and as a result of which
we can gradually get along with
fewer people, and they should
be better.paid people. 1t is
more expensive, it is more costly,
to service these loans and make
these collections than it is to
make the loans; particularly
in the early years of this
servicing operation"

committee that during the first

 Waite was involved with Charles Dubish, 20, of 634 Bank street, and James Snyder, 1S, of 11o North Main street, as the man who disposed of loot the youths obtained in three breaks into homes on Prospect and Grove streets last August. The youths, Snyder represented by T. V.

 Caught!
 The younger men ransacked the homes of Ralph s. Munger, 85 Grove street, Mrs. Martha s. Wade, 101 Prospect street, and Willis M. Hall, 160 Prospect street, and Dubish was caught in the Munger home, later duplicating Snyder and Waite. The latter was in Library park, Assist ant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald told the court when he was approached by the boys.
 Waite took a gold watch valued at between $40 and $50 to a pawn shop on Grand street where he ob- tained $6 which he turned over to Snyder and Dubish and was paid a commission" the prosecutor said. Later he hooked other articles, in one instance turning over only half of what he obtained to Snyder and Dubish."
