LUCHS ADVISES.
BUY HOME NOW.
WITH COST Low.
Labor Conditions Held
Advantageous

Favorable home financin e
methods, lower construction and
building material costs, combined
with better labor conditions, point
TO the present as one of the most
attractive periods in the history
Of Washington for investment in
zeal estate.
This opinion was expressed last
night by Morton Luchs, president
Of the Washington Real Estate
Board, and member Of the firm
Of Shannon & Luchs, Inc, one of
the Capital City's leading realty
organizations.
VALUES ON UPGRADE
On the eve of National Better
Homes Week, which occurs next
week, Luchs pointed to the low
cost Of housing and the trend
toward higher levels as indicative
Of the advantages existent today
In the real estate market.
Real estate values" Luchs as
serted, "are on the upgrade. The
steady climb toward normally
that began in 1888 and was
slightly interrupted in the Fall of
1887, is again evident. BY virtue
Of the nature of the Capital City,
real estate in Washington fails to
feel the full effect of so-called
depression periods. The housing
market continues to flourish,
and the construction barometer
always reveals a healthy condi-
ticn."
MINIMUM OUTLAY
Declaring methods of financing
the purchase of home are safer
and simpler today than ever be-
fore, Luchs gave credit to the
leadership of the Government for
popularizing the long-term system
Of amortizing home mortgages,
which has eliminated many of the
evils and obstacles that heretofore
proved discouraging to prospective
home buyers.
Home ownership" he declared,
"is now possible with a minimum
initial outlay that need not bel
larger than the price of a low-cost
automobile.
Monthly terms can be arranged
80 that a purchaser may own his
home outright In 20 to Is years,
or less. The monthly payments
compare with average rent and the
interest rates are lower than ever
before"

Were Robbing Filling
Station When Surpris.
ed by Officers

Burlington, Dec. 7.-(AP.-A blazing
gun duel ended abruptly the two-day
old career of M. P. Robertson, former
veteran police officer here, as sheriff
of Alamance county. and took with
him in bloody death Officer Sonnie
Vaughn, of the Burlington police
rorce, and Roy Huffman, identified as
I fugitive from an Arson county pri-
Eon ramp.
Summoned to filling station on
Church street here, lust east of the
city underpass, by the report of a
truck driver that mysterious lights
were burning inside, Sheriff Robert
son. who had just stopped in the police
office on his way home, took Officers
Vaughn and F. B. Bailiff with him.
Bailiff said, in reconstructing the
spectacular tragedy that the sheriff
told him to wait outside while he and
Vaughn, with drawn guns, entered the
station.
A volley of gunfire, allegedly from
the revolver of Huffman, felled the
two officers at the threshold. Bailiff
said that he then knocked out a win
dowpane and fired at the two men
he saw inside. Huffman dropped, but
the other robber, identified through
pictures found in the clothes of Huff
man afterwards as Roy Kelly, anoth-
er fugitive from the Arson camp, es-
capped, fleeing in what officers de-
scribed as new Pontiac with Geor-
gia licenses, headed toward Virginia.
Before winning the Democratic
nomination for sheriff that ousted
veteran Sheriff ]. H. Stockard and
that carried him into office over his
Republican opponent in the Novem-
Der elections, Sheriff Robertson, who
took the oath of office December 6,
had served on the Burlington police
force nine years, five years of that
time as captain.
Vaughn also was veteran police
officer of nine years service.
The sheriff's office reported that
Huffman was sentenced in April of
this year in Guilford county to six to
ten years on charges of breaking and
entering and larceny and robbery. He
escaped with Kelly on October %.

Policy In the East

Paris, Dec. 7.-(AP)lParis and
Germany, having signed their agree
ment to try to avoid war, today talk
ed over differences which might lead
them to break that promise il the
future.
The talks, between Foreign Min
lister Joachim Won Ribbentrop and
George Bonnet, which began yester-
day and were to continue this after
noon, were said in informed quarters
to have established Germany's posi-
ton as follows:
/. Germany will not Immediately
press any colonial demands for her
self.
2. Germany will not at present back
Italy's loud, though unofficial, de-
mands for Tunisia or Corsica.
8. Germany now has no desire to es-
tablish herself south of the Pyrennes
and is supporting the Spanish instr
gents chiefly because of Italy's de-
mands on her as an axis partner.
In exchange for these pledges, well
informed French sources said, Ger
many wants France to do nothing
to stop her economic political drive
in eastern Europe, bringing her ever
closer to the Russian Ukraine.

Washington, Dec. 7.-(AP)-The
administration expects to hold cx-
penditures in the next fiscal year 10
the same level as 1889, it was dis
Closed today, even though the outlay
for defense probably will be much
larger.
A high official said that the Presi-
dents advisors were confident the in
creased ornaments costs could be off
set by reduced expenditures elsewhere
such as relief. The figures for the
next fiscal year, beginning July /,
have not yet been announced, hut
President Roosevelt's forecast of ex-
penditures for the current fisca! year
was about $9,0OOOOOOOO when ne re-
vised it last July.
At his press conference yesterday,
MIR. Roosevelt said he favored a "pay-
as-you-go" policy for the contemplat-
ed increase in ornaments, even if a
tax increase should be necessary. He
added, however, that new levies might
not be needed, because certain gov
eminent expenditures are self-liuui-

Stephen Early, presidential secre-
tary, told reporters afterwards that
"budgetary adjustments" might make
higher taxes unnecessary.

Shanghai, Dec. 7.-(AP)-With
Japanese war planes based in TIE
heart of China, Japanese authorities
asserted today their aerial supremacy
had given them control of ten OF
China's provinces, even though their
infantry does not hold the territory.
Since the occupation of Hankow,
former provisional capital, japanese
planes were said by these authorities
to have destroyed 104 Chinese planes
at widely separated cities.
A majority of China's key defense
points were said to be within range of
Japanese bombers. The Chinese re-
ported, meanwhile. that they had
stood off a series of Japanese at
tempts to land at Takhoi, on tne
south China coast, east Of French
Indo-China. They admitted, however
that the invaders had occupied King
moon, between Canton and the Portu-
guese colony of Macao.

He will bring expert knowledge to
the game. Garner not only knows po-

does not work that way either in po-
