FURNACE FACES
DRIVING CHARGE
U. S. Commissioner Denies
He Had Been Drinking
Before Collision.

United States Commissioner Need
ham c. Turnage faces a charge OF
driving while intoxicated near Land
over. Md. 1t was revealed today by
Maryland State police at Waterloo.
The charge grew out of a collision
about 10 o'clock Saturday night, the
police said. No one was hurt.
At his ONCE today, Commissioner
Turnage denied that he had been
drinking at all. He explained that the
temple bar on his glasses had been
broken while he was taking a shower
following q golf game at the Beaver
Dam Country Club Saturday after
noon, and he was driving home with
his brother -in-law. His car collided
with one driven by Clarence w.
Weaver Of Silver Spring. Md.
The commissioner said his glasses
fell off because Of the broken temple
did not see the other car in time to
avoid it. He said he probably would
ask for a postponement of the hear
ing tonight, because he had witnesses
to summon from Baltimore and he
doubted if his defense could be pre-
pared in time
Mr.. Turnage was arrested by State
Patrolman N w. Scarborough and
taken to Hyattsville, where collateral
for his release was posted.
The warrant charging the commits
sioner with driving while under the
influence Of liquor" was sworn out

Patrolman Scarborough.

commissioner for the District since
1923. He also is engaged in the gen.
eral practice of law.

Order of Moose
To Change Title
OF Its Dictator

The term dictator being at about
the zero point in American popularity
at the moment. the Loyal Order of
Moose is thinking of removing the
title from its lexicon of fraternal
ofhces, 1t was learned today.
The head of a lodge is known as
the dictator.
At the recent convention Of the
order at Mooseheart. ILL.,, the matter
WAS brought up. 1t was suggested
that dictators be called directors be
cause Of the unpleasant associations
which the term dictator has come to
have. especially among Americans"
The suggested change in the Moose
constitution was referred to a COM
mittee for study.
A local Moose official predicted to-
day that the change would be made.
1T should be understood" he ex-
planned, that we adopted the term
dictator for the head Of lodge years
before dictators were heard of in Eu-
rope. 1t was simply term of COM
mand, just as some orders use COM
mander or exalted ruler or potentate
Nevertheless the word dictator is in
such disrepute nowadays that I think
the Moose will scrap the title and sub
stitute the innocuous term of di-
rector"

FAHEY ANSWERS
H. 0. |. c. CRITICS
Moratorium Wouldn't Aid
Owners and Would Hurt
U. S., Official Says.

In a defense Of the policy Of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board for
foreclosures on home mortgages,
Chairman John H. Fahey today replied
to criticism by warning that a pro-
posed three-year moratorium on loans
would cause grave financial embar-
rassment" to the Government in try
ing to fulfill its obligations to its
hondholders."
Chairman Fahey made this state
ment in letter to Representative
Barry, Democrat, of Mex York. The
letter was written in response to pro-
posals by a group of Congressman
from New York, New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts, who we're led by Mr.. Barry.
The delegation had proposed five
point program to aid home loan
debtors at a recent White House con-
ference. A moratorium was included.
Other proposals we're:
Reduction Of interest rates on H.
o. L. c. loans from to 31a per cent.
Abolition of deficiency judgments.
Establishment Of a quasi judicial
board Of review to which those facing
foreclosure might appeal.
Permission for former owners to
remain in their foreclosed homes on q
rental basis.
Neither q reduction Of interest rates
nor = moratorium would provide an
effective solution to the problem Of
foreclosure, Mr.. Fahey claimed He
said that reduced rates and suspended
principal payments would place a
burden on the Treasury and eventually
on home owners and taxpayers gen.
orally.
He added that H. O. L. c. was CIV
ing close attention to every delinquent
borrower who shows willingness and
prospective ability to meet his obliga-
tions
In the average foreclosure, Mr..
Fahey added, the borrower has had
free occupancy of his home for more
than four years and has paid no taxes
in five years. That was because, he
pointed out. the borrower was two
SoAo Al aAA CdiO oll lilo I&SdkC Allu
behind approximately three years on
taxes when the H. o. L. c., refinanced
him.
Plainly" he said, III the H. O. L. C.
is to 60 any further than this in pro-
viding homes free of expense, a ques-
ton Of policy of far-reaching impor-
tance is raised"
A reduction in the interest rate for
the great mass of borrowers who are
able and willing to meet their obli-
Cations" he pointed out. would create
a huge loss to the corporation"
With regard to the moratorium OH
principal, Mr. Fahey estimated that
in the case of the average New York
borrower 1t would reduce his monthly
payment Of $4,000 by 1927 per month
for the duration of the proposed three
year period.
Substantial though this saving
might seem to be-" he commented, "it
would represent but q small portion
Of the borrowers shortage IN those
cases where the corporation has been
obliged to foreclose"
Moreover, such a moratorium would
involve the corporation in very great
difficulties,' he claimed, for it would
have to be. extended, in fairness not
only to the small percentage OF dis
tressed borrowers, but to all those
who are paying as well as those who
do not pay"
Mr.. Fahey said there is nothing in
the present laws governing the H. o.
L. c. to prevent rental of a prop
erty to former owner who has lost
it through foreclosure.

In 6. U.-Duke Series

A home and home team match

versity, with three local lads star
ring in the lineup of the two COL
leges, will come up next spring.
Bobby Brownell, who is going to
captain the Dukes. already has ar

town lads to 60 to Durham for a
return engagement.
Duke is not in the Eastern Inter-
collegiate League. but figures,
Brownell says. to have a golf outfit
as good as any college in the East.
Which happens to be quite a big
order, considering that Georgetown
with strong team in 1888, couldn' t
finish better than second in the
Eastern section. The Hoyas, with
Dettweiler, Billy Shea and Johnny
Burke. the national intercollegiate
and District of Columbia champ
figure to be up there next year, and
may win the Eastern title. They

Because Rockville lost to La Plata,
