BILLION IS READY
FOR HOME LOANS
viii Help Ownership by
Making Funds Available
Without Waiting.

That there will be $780, 900 900
ready to be loaned this year to Amer
ican families to help them acquire
homes without waiting for insurance
on the mortgage was reported today
by the United States Building and
Loan League. E. c. Baltz of Wash
ington. president of the league, said
this amount is available from the
thousands of savings, building and
loan associations this year and that
they are thus prepared to make their
largest contribution to debt-free own
ership since they placed ST 800, 100000
in home loans nine years ago.
A combination of circumstances
gives the savings and loan institutions
their greatest lending power which
any year of the '30s has seen. The
inflow of investments into their Golfers
this year has shown such an improve
ment over the last several years early
months that leaders conf1dentially pre-
dict at least a $300,000,000 increase
in private capital this year over last.
An additional S200,0O0,000 is lying idle
in the different associations cash ac-
counts because of the slack loan de-
mand Of December and January.
The customary monthly repayments
on principal of existing loans will put
about S500000,000 into circulation for
further loan employment this year,
and since the associations make only
loans on homes it cannot be diverted
elsewhere, as it might in other flnan-
cial institutions. Finally, the sue
cessful financing program of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank System when it
went to the public for funds the past
year makes the amount of the asso-
Citations borrowing power with the
bank system tantamount to their hav-
ing this sum right on hand Mr.. Baltz
says that, even assuming that the as
sociations wish to keep half of their
borrowing power with the bank system
unused for emergencies, they may still
count on some $3.50, 900 900 available
from this source to supplement their
locan loan funds.
THE program probably will in

rental occupancy in some cases, as
well as the traditional savings, build
Ing and loan field of financing the
owner-occupied home" said Mr..
Baltz. This subject is receiving a
great deal of attention at current re-
gional conferences of the associations.
A recent statement Of policy by the
Executive Council of the United
States Building and Loan League sug-
gested that associations might well
hberalize their policies as regards
financing smaller rental housing
projects.
Associations expect to disburse a
goodly portion of this $500, ,oO0. 900
by cooperating with responsible
builders Of homes and assisting them
IN making available reasonable down
payments and low monthly amortiza-
ton to those who buy the houses they
build"

SALES ALMOST DOUBLE
Air Conditioning Enjoys Big
Year in 1887.

Air conditioning, an infant industry
IN point of years but now a giant
IN the volume of business it represents.
Is steadily expanding its sphere of
operations.
Installed cost of equipment sold by
the members Of the Air Conditioning
Manufacturers Association in 1897
was almost double the total Ior 1885,
which was about s5O,00000o.
Thus far the manufacturers have
found their most fertile fields in the
theaters, railroads, restaurants, stores
and some types of industrial plants.

MRS. LITvINOv
 BEING WATCHED
British Born Wife of Soviet COmmiSSar Forbidden
 to Leave Home

London, July 15-CUP) The Daily Express quoted friends of Mrs. Maxim Litvinov, wife of the Rus sian foreign affairs commissar, to- day as alleging that she had been forbidden by secret police to leave the city of Sverdlovsk in the Ural mountain area.
 Litvinov and his wife have sum- mer villa at Sverdlovsk, and the Daily Express quoted Mrs. Litvinov's friends as saying that she had been unable to leave there for six weeks, though able to move freely in the city where she directs school teaching English to children.
 There were reports, the Daily Ex- press said, that Litvinov had been asked by the government to divorce his wife.
 British By Birth Mrs. Litvinov is British by birth. Her mother, Mrs. Alice Herbert, was quoted as saying: "The Russian em- bassy told me cothing had happen ed when telephone there. l receive letters from my daughter some rtimes. She never mentions politics and she never has mentioned di- vorce. That would be their private concern. I have no reason whatever ] to believe there is going to be a 1 divorce"
 There have been frequent reports for years in the London newspapers that Litvinov and his wife, one or both, had incurred the displeasure of Russian authorities. Previous re- ports have been disproved by events.

 Tribute of Superintendent Roach
 Captain Cutting was of the fin est type of policeman" said Super intendent William J. Roach. T had the utmost confidence in him, and he always Justified that confi- dence.

 Although the damaged wheel did not interfere with the landing at Paris, mechanics at Le Bourget field took one look at it and shrugged with resignation.
 "C'est fini" dt's finishedD they told Hughes. However, Lund made the repairs and they took of again against French advice.
 Although he had travelled 14,690 miles, Hughes had seen very few sights except the airports at Paris, Moscow, Omsk, Yakutsk, Fairbanks and Minneapolis where he stopped.
 We never saw wave except glimpse of Boston harbor, on taking off," he said. We saw Ireland through hole in the clouds, but be- tween Paris and Moscow the wealth f CT was so thick that turned off all the lights and stuck to the inStru- ments. Four or five times we picked up lot of ice in high altitude, with no de-icers on the wings, but our anti-ice carburetors were perfect"

First Defendants
 Make Plea h Court
(Continued from Page D

MT. Alcorn termed Pietroria, harmless and inconspicuous, and residing in Bristol, but he got more than $75,000 for purported service to the city-of course he didn't get all of it-I believe he got very small part of it."
 AIcOrn Talks for Press
 Here MT. Cassidy jumped to his feet crying that MT. Alcorn was speaking TOT the benefit of the press, claiming that there was no such reference in the information and that MT. Alcorn should confine his arguments to the sufficiency of the complaint.
 Judge Inglis, after Cassidy had jumped to his feet several addition al times to object, said We are con- cerned simply with the allegations of the information and I assume that the states attorney will be con- fined to these"
 Some Chance Said Cassidy
 In answer to additional objec- tions of Cassidy against Alcorn's mode of presenting arguments, Judge Inglis said, We must make some leeway for oratory."
 If that's oratory there's some chance for my young boys" said Attorney Cassidy.
 At one point in the argument, Alcorn stated, T charged Pietroria with getting $75 1000 and I wonder if he kept it all." Turning to MT. Cassidy he said, You know more about that than do."
 First Demurrer by Murray
 The first demurrer to be present. ed this morning was that of Mayor Hayes, Attorney Murray declined to argue on it, stating that all the issues had been presented in pre- vious argument, He submitted it on brief.
 Attorney Cassidy appeared next, and proved to be the most lengthy of the arguing counsel. His main course of attack on the information was the claim that there was mo nexus between the several accused"
 He then took his clients indi- vidually, stating, "Healey worked for the Connor company-and he can't be held responsible for their actions" He claimed that the in- formation was a popular way for a daring states attorney to bring in a group of men who he can't con- vict individually. He thinks by broad sprinting he can bring them in this way"
 Statute of Limitations
 He charged that the statute of limitations should apply to some of the charges against the accused.
 Each of the defense counsel thanked Judge Inglis for the fair manner in which he had heard all their arguments during the prelim- inaries. They said that they real- ized today's hearing might be the last preliminary before the trial.
 Attorney Patrick Healey sub mitted the demurrers of his clients on briefs after short argument. He pictured the conspiracy charge a "dragnet launched to bring in a number of people indiscriminately. Could Be Hundreds He commented that under such a charge there might as well have been another one, dozen, hundred or more."
 In answering this, MT. Alcorn said, Its not yet too late to get more."
 Attorney Harold Ashworth argued demurrer for Detective John G. Purdie, stating that none of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-15

publican state central committee, and prominent Fairfield county lead CT, is not even represented by coun- sel. Before entering his plea he con- ferred with MT. Alcorn on the top floor of the court house. He was nat tily dressed in a white linen suit, green tie, yellow shirt and brown and white shoes. He is accused of receiving funds from the city for il- legal lobbying.
 Levy Had His Counsel
 Levy, the utilities expert" was &C., companied by his counsei, Attorney William L. Hadden. He is said to have received in excess of $100,00C from the city for making a survey of utilities rates. The jury charges this large sum was divided with city off, cialS and that Levy received less than $20,000 of 1t.
 Final Demurrer Attacks The demurrers which were pre- sented by defense counsel this morn- ing were the final attacks which will be made on the information which is the basis for the arrest of Lieut. Governor Hayes and 26 others. Un- less Judge Inglis sustained some or all of the demurrers the defend- ants will be arraigned in court Thursday morning, to enter pleas, and select mode of trial desired. Going on Vacation Unofflcially, 1t was learned that Levy and Williamson desire to leave immediately for vacations, and by being arranged today avoided the necessity of being recalled.
 Before being put to plea, Will Hanson, with permission of the court and Mir. Alcorn substituted a surety bond for the $lO,0O0 bond which was posted to free him im- mediately after is arrest on the con- spiracy charge. The original bond consisted of bank books.
 Leary Gets Permission
 In ciarjfication of his decisions yesterday on the inspection of in- dividuals records as impoupded by the grand jury, Judge Inglis today specifically granted permission to Daniel J. Leary to inspect there- cords of the city now in the custody of MT. Alcorn. Similar clarifica- ton was made in the case of John Crazy, Thomas A. Shanahan, John s. Johnson, Michael Slavin and Thomas J. Fleming, represented by Attorney Patrick Healey. Detective John G. Purdie was given similar privilege, as was Attorney Sidney Cassel for Ralph and Phil Coppeto. The latter was in connection with checks paid to the accused by the City of Waterbury.
 PhOt0static Copies In aswer to question of Attorney Healey, Judge Inglis stated that in making their examination of the records, they might also be permit ted to take photostatic copies of them, under the supervision of the states attorney.
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn charged that all the issues brought up by the demurrers had already been decided by Judge Inglis in his decisions, es- pecially in his decision on the plea in abatement.
 Atty. Cassidy Asks Rebuke Attorney John H. Cassidy, arguing demurrers for Frankie Burns Santa lucia, Carl D. Olsen, Corp. Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, James P. Healey and Donate Pietroria, de- manded that the juoge repuke Spe- cial Prosecutor Alcorn for the man. ner in which he was presenting his arguments against MT. Pietroria.

ARAB MARKET IS BOMB WRECKED
Eight Arabs Killed, Twelve
 Injured in City of Jerusalem

Jerusalem, July 15-(UP)-Eight Arabs were killed and 12 injured to- day when a bomb wrecked a David street vegetable market in the old city of Jerusalem. Three of the dead were women.
 Groups of soldiers and police brought the dead and wounded, dressed in Arab holiday attire, to the government hospital. The cur- few was frightened at six p. m. when the streets were cleared.
 Seven of the wounded were re- ported to be in a serious condition.
 Police and troops established a cordon around the district in an effort to prevent further violence. The bombing followed two days of comparative peace between Jews and Arabs.
 Bombs In Reprisal
 The bomb throwing apparently was in reprisal against the Arabs for new acts of terrorism against Jewish extremists.
 Most of the wounded were hit by fragments of the bomb that ric- cocheted from the roof and walls of the enclosed court yard in which the vegetable market is located.
 Hundreds of worshippers who were coming out of a nearby mosque were thrown into panic and fled in all directions down the winding al- 1eys of the old city.
 Women and children hysterical- ly gathered outside the mortuary. The few Jews within the old city

 Berlin States Demand
 In Berlin, the Lokal Anzeiger quoted Karl Ritter von Hakt, Ger man member of the international committee, as stating that wherever the 1940 games were held "only the so-called obligatory program will be attempted" Sportsmen said that he probably meant that such sports as soccer, handball, basketball, base ball and polo would be eliminated.
 Most of the nations favored Fin land for the games. Swedish, Brit ish, French and American Olympics authorities said they approved Hels- ingfors.
 Brundage Speaks
 In Chicago, Avery Brundage, chairman of the United States Olympic committee, admitted that the time was short for transfer of the games. He emphasized, however, that program of a smaller scale could be staged, if necessary. And some cities which have the facilities and experienced personnel probably could get ready on short notice to stage a regular program of games" he said. Brundage had supported American participation in the Jap anese games despite the opposition of some members of the American committee.

Def Accepted! Organizations Unite to Save the Fifth Man From Vio-
 lent Death.

"We accept the aQenge. Wt will keep the fifth man alive"
 That is the answer of public of ficials and safety leaders through out the country to the appeal of the National Safety Council for a 20 per cent reduction in traffic deaths in November and Decem- Der.
 The Councils campaign is prompted by the fact that the first nine months of 1888 brought an unknown reduction of 20 per cent in traffic deaths from the same period last year. If this reduc- tion is maintained the rest of the year, 5000 lives will be saved and every fifth person doomed to die in traffic will be spared.
 Cooperating actively with the Council ill the year-end drive are: the American Legion, the National Conservation Bureau, the Nation al Society for the Prevention of Blindness, the American Red Cross, the Automotive Safety Foundation, the Veterans of For eign Wars, the General Federation of WOmen's Clubs, the Knights of Columbus, B'nai B'rith, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Knights of Pythias, Opti.nist International, Thomas H. Macdonald, thief, U. s. Bureau of Public Roads, and Dr. Ef;gar Dewitt Jones, president of the Federal Council of the Church es of Christ in America.
 From governors, mayors, police chiefs and others in every section of the country have come pledges of increased activity in safety pro- grams already functioning effi- ciently.
 The fact that traffic deaths pile up in November and December be- cause of bad weather, more dark ness and the Christmas holiday rush makes the task of bringing the death total down to a level with the other months difficult one. Over a five-year period No- vember deaths have been 20 per cent higher and December deaths 30 per cent higher than the monthly average for the year.
 Public officials and safety lead- CTS. however, believe they can do it.
