N. Y. MOTOR|ST
 TO FACE COURT
Protesting Driver Who Claimed Racket in WOOd-
 bury on Trial Tonight
Special to The Democrat)

Woodbury, Aug. A.-Irwin Berk, of Mt. Kisco, N. Y, who claimed in a letter to Gov. Wilbur L. Cross that traffic arrests in this town are a racket, will be arraigned in town court here tonight. He was ar- rested on Sunday, the 14th, on charges of speeding and passing cars improperly.
 In his letter to the governor, Berk said the officers charged he was go- ing from 50 to 55 miles an hour. Yet he has a governor on his car, he says, which will not allow the automobile to go faster than 40 miles per hour. The constables who arrested him, he said, admitted that cars passed through the town at from 35 to 45 miles an hour, and hence he claims he could not have passed any other vehicles.
 After his arrest Berk was asked to post a cash bond of $30 and refused. Later, he said, a justice of the peace agreed to drop the charges if Berk paid a fine of $15 and court costs of $1410.
 In his letter, Berk asked the gov- ernor if he knew any way in which he could assure himself "of a fair trial and an impartial decision"

'Maiorano Funeral
 Home Now Open
Modern New Parlors Enable More Capable, Efficient Service By Popular Undertaken Who Established
 Firm Here 3l Years Ago

Equipped with accommodations for six funerals at one time, the Maiorano Funeral Home opened this week at its new quarters, 95 Willow street, prepared to continue the program of service by which 1t has achieved distinction in Water bury during the past 3l years. The new home will be open for public in- spection every day this week from 2 to g p. m.
 Nicholas A. Maiorano, the pres ent owner of the business, founded the organization in this city 3l years in utilization with his brother An- thony, the first establishment being located on South Main street.
 Anthony left the local business in 1911 and went to New Haven to establish another undertaking bus iness, from which he retired two years ago. Nicholas remained here and in 1912 acquired the business of Mancini and Ruggiero at 267 Bank street. From that year until this, the Maiorano Funeral Parlors had been located at that address.
 Two sons have joined MT. Major ano in the operation of the business Philip Maiorano was graduated from Crosby High school and the Cincin- natl College of Embalming. Albert is also a graduate of both these schools. MT Maiorano is himself q graduate of the Massachusetts Col lege of Embalming. A native of New Haven, he came here at the age of 10.
 The new funeral home is great improvement over the former one, which according to Mr Maiorano had during the past few years been cramped by the volume of business.
 The new home contains 18 rooms,

October Foreclosures
On Non-Farm Homes.
Hit 5-Year Low
First 10 Months Of
1888 23 Pet. Below
1887 Period

Foreclosures on non farm homes
during October dropped to the low
est point reached since the peak
Of 1888, another indication that the
American home buyer is paying his
way out" the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board announced today on
the basis Of q Nation wide survey.
The board collects data on urban
foreclosures by all kinds of mort
gage lending institutions and makes
a monthly survey Of this informa-
ton.
BY almost every standard of COM
parison. the study showed. the FORE
closure situation In October and
during the first 10 months Of this
year displayed marked improvement
over recent periods. High points Of
the report were:
/. Foreclosures for the first 10
months of this year were 10000
cases (or % per cent? less than for
the corresponding period Of 1887.
2. October foreclosures-8,773 in
number-were less than 80 per cent
of those for the same month last
year.
3. October marked the fourth con-
secutive month in which foreclos-
ures remained below the average
month of 1923, generally regarded
as a year of prosperity.
4. Foreclosures in October de-
clined by 84 per cent, or by 804
cases, from those Of September,
which itself showed decline from
August and July. The decline in
foreclosures was shared In by the
greater part Of the country, seven
Of the II Federal Home Loan Bank
districts reporting fewer foreclosure
actions in October than September.
An even more optimistic picture
was presented by the long-term re-
port on foreclosures for the first 10
months of this year as compared
with the same period in 1887. Each
of the IL Federal Home Loan Bank
districts and all but eight of the "a
States reported fewer foreclosures
in the January through October pc
Rod Of 1898 than for the same
months last year.

these many rail bankruptcies to the
low percentage of the through freight
rates obtained by these roads from
the Eastern and transcontinenta
trunk lines, roughly II per cent Of the
money for doing 16 per cent OF the
work. The Mississippi Valley roads
think so themselves. Two Of their
presidents so testified before my COM
mittee, but they dare not take the
legal steps to set this injustice straight.
They fear freight would be routed from
their roads if such action were taken.
When the I. c. c. was created in
1887 it regulated, as its name shows,
interstate commerce. Today for the
most purposes it would be more accu-
rately called the Interstate Railroad
Commission. Other forms of trans
portation have grown up and the COM
mission no longer has the supervision
over the bulk flow Of goods in inter-
state commerce. I believe that 1t
should. I believe that there should
be co-ordinated regulation of all forms
OF transportation, since they COM
pete with and vitality affect each other,
and by single independent regulatory
body. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission should have power to investi-
gate the books Of railroad bankers
and control the speculation Of stocks
by one railroad in the stocks of an
other railroad and railroad hold
ing companies should be abolished
These holding companies have been
used to milk some railroads at the
Evening star., 1938-04-12

and few key railroads the power Of
life and death over other railroads.
The few powerful. lucky railroads use
this weapon to obtain an excessive
proportion Of through freight rates
and the few favored shippers use it
to block any attempt by the railroads
to charge a proper rate on many i'm
portant commodities. Scores of mil
lions year are lost to needy railroads
by this costly system OF cutthroat
routing.
Today when you look at a great rail-
road terminal, whether It's a huge
passenger station or the vast network
of freight terminal you should stop
to think that every shipper and trav-
eler, every one who buys things that
move by rail, pays his share of these
expensive facilities. Every dollar spent
in these huge Implications of expen-
sive facilities is paid eventually by
you, You are taxed for their con-
struction. You are taxed for their
maintenance through the devices of
increased rates. Perhaps you want
them. If you do, then you shouldn't
complain about high rates. It has
been this waste and extravaganza that
are partially to blame for the present
railroad crisis.
Every railroad in the Mississippi
Valley but two is In bankruptcy
today. While unregulated water COM
petition is an important factor. many
thoughtful railroad men attribute
