EXPERTS FINISH
FIDELITY BOOKS
Home Loan Board to Determine

Reorganized.

Examination Of the closed Fidelity
Building & Loan Association by ex-
perts Of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board was completed late yesterday
as one Of the first steps in a survey
to determine whether the institution
can be reorganized.
The examination was finished In
five weeks and three days by the
examining division Of the board, OF
which John w. Ballard is chief. Bal
lard had estimated the examination
would take about six weeks.
The report Of the examining di-
vision on the institution, which is
factual only and without recommen-
dations, now goes to the legal depart
ment Of the board for study. It will
be turned over later to the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board itself for
study and conclusions. No details of
the report are disclosed as yet.
How long it will be before the board
will be able to reach a conclusion in
the matter and send final report to
the controller Of the currency, j. F.
T. O'Connor, is problematical, but it
was said the case will be expedited" J"
The controller and his receiver are

About this time of the year the

thence came the custom Of the young
men and maidens choosing Valentines,

One etymologist holds that the day
originated from confused mixture
of letters in the Latin word "valens," Z"
meaning valiant; the Norman word
'galantin," meaning a lover of the
fair sex. Thus, Churchman Valen-
tine Of Rome, who checked to death
on a fishbone, became, through no
fault Of his own. the patron saint of
sweethearts and lovers.
A third historian offers the sugges-
tion that Valentines day is the Chris
tianized form Of the classic Luper-
Gala. Roman feasts held in Rome in
February in honor Of Pan and Juno.

because department store clerks pun
on the word every time its bearer
writes his or her name, and in some
cases because people with misdi-
rected sense Of humor always send
valentines with a play on the word.
While the Valentines we're lament
ably unposted on the history of the
festival day, each seemed fairly in
terested in learning it probably started
during the reign Of Emperor Claudius
in ancient Rome.
The Valentines probably give out
and receive fewer valentines per head
than do the Smiths and Johnsons and
Joneses. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Valen-
tine Of 2300 Rhode Island avenue
northeast give each other one every
year, but rarely mail any to friends.
Mrs. Valentine gives her husband a
lacy 25-cent one every year because
his name is Valentine and it's Valen-
tines day" Mr.. Valentine hasn't any
such good reason for giving his wife
one, and besides he sends her a comic
instead of one with lace.
Viewed as Trivial Matter.
Neither Of the Thomas Valentines
knows or cares much about the origin
of the festival day. Mr.. Valentine says
nothing unusual ever happened to him
because Of his name. He adds, how
ever, that he used to beat a lot of de-
tails in the Army by being down at
the end of the line with the "V's."
Miss Martha Valentine, an assistant
in a dancing school, says nothing
funny ever happened to me on Valen-
tines day except that was born in
Kentucky. But I wasn't born on VAL
entine's day. SO that wouldn't count,

May ReWrite Measure to

Critics, He Says.
WILL URGE Committee
TO CONTINUE HEARINGS
Nevedan Sees Findings Helpful to
Those Making Survey of
Personnel Problems.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Believing his Government pay in
crease bill could be improved by ac-
cepting some of the suggestions he
has received since introducing It,
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Ne
vada may rewrite the measure.
The Nevadan also made known last
night he will ask the Senate Civil
Service Committee to proceed with
hearings on the question, despite the
recommendation yesterday of Budget
Director Bell that action be deferred
pending survey which Bell revealed
is being made Of various Government
personnel problems.
Although gratified to learn that the
administration is having a study made
Of the classification act, compensation
and retirement conditions in the Gov
ernment service, McCarran said he
saw no reason why hearings on his
bill should not be continued.
Sees Findings Helpful.
II think the hearings should go on"
he said, because the information we
develop in that way would be helpful
to those who are making the survey
Of these personnel problems in the
executive branch of the Government. J"
The Senator. who has been marking
time recently to await word from the
Budget Bureau, added:
II feel that I can now proceed with
valuable information and construc-
tive criticisms of the original bill that
have come to me from several sources,
and I may introduce a substitute for
the entire measure to meet some OBJ
jections that have been pointed out"
The Senator was not ready to indi-
cate the extent of the changes ne
might make in the bill.
Bell Suggests Delay.
In notifying the Civil Service Com
mittee yesterday that personnel prob
lens are being studied with a view
to making report to Congress during
this session, the budget director sug-
gested that action be put of on the
McCarran measure and other bills of
like import until the President makes
a report on the subject.
As it now stands. the McCarran bill
seeks to benefit mainly those in the
lowest brackets by fixing sl,500 as the
minimum wage for full-time employ
ment. 1t also would grant increases
to other salary grades that do not ex-
coed $500 a year, and provide for an
improved method Of determining ef-
ficiency for the purpose Of promotions.
