THAT'S ALL THERE IS."

The warning of that section OF
Congress labeled economy bloc
against expanding the statutory
debt limit beyond the 45-billion- dol
lar mark has it's family budget
counterpart, too. See the exasper-

that the bank won't lend him any
more money to meet their current
bills-or even if it will, he won't
borrow any more on general prin-
ciples.
And is there no familiar note in
President Roosevelt's call in his
annual message for an 80-billion-
dollar national income? It's possible
that argument sounds like mothers

TWO FEDERAL AGENCIES IN
BITTER CONFLICT; BATTLE
Being WACED IS INTENSIVE
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April a.--Trou-
bles over in Europe are as nothing
compared to the conflict between
the. Federal Housing Administration
and Federal Home Loan Bank Board
over which is going to build the
country's homes.
Theirs is not a strictly intramural
battle. 1t goes outside, with the
banks siding with Stewart McDon-
aid and his FHA and the Building
and Loan Associations favoring
John H. Fahey of the Home Loan
Bank Board. Each outside group is
supporting the outfit from which
it gets the most butter.
The thing dates back to 1884
when FILA was formed as means
of guaranteeing bank investments
in home mortgages. Since the de-
preston, banks had been wary of
such SLOW investments. They were
not sure they could get their money
out fast enough in case of another
panic.
FILA pretty much remedied that.
1t took the bulk of the risk from
the banks and shouldered it upon a
Federal corporation. Since then
banks have been lending money to
build homes as they never did be-
fore. Since 1884 they have poured
approximately a billion and half
into home mortgages.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1939-04-04
SAFE FOR BANKS

800 - tSA~ DFhANAhbJ
Under the plan, bank advances
up to 80 percent on the face value
of mortgage, either to build new
home or refinance an old one AS
much as 80 percent may be adj
vanced on certain low cost houses.
If it is an old home it has to be in
pretty fair shape, likely to last 20
years or more, which is the life of
the mortgage
The payments are not appreciably
higher than rent. Moreover. the
bank is pretty much protected
against loss. because if one of the
mortgages goes sour the bank sim
ply turns the job over to FILA and
receives debentures in return. The
bank can transfer these debentures
TO the Federal reserve and get cash
for them, just as it can with Gov
eminent bonds.
But the Building and Loan asso-
Citations have kicked that the plan
is pushing the banks into line of
business which the loan associa-
tons have had to themselves for
many years.
Most annoying to the associa-
tons is the fact that the banks are
willing to refinance old seven per-
cent mortgages at about five per-
cent under FILA.

vorite such as the roly-poly, cobbler or berry pudding.
 There is that excellent com bination of fresh strawberries lightly piled in small baskets nodded of vanilla ice cream the berries dusted lightly with powdered sugar and the basket decorated with tiny sprig of mint to furnish the touch of green needed. A more beautiful dessert or a more delicious one for sum mer service it would be hard to concoct; yet the baskets of fruit are not especially expensive, nor troublesome to arrange. One may fold the cream at home, if de- sired; or it can easily be ordered from any good caterer or manu- facturer of ice creams. Another good summer dessert with strawberries is based upon thin slices of fresh pineapple - very ripe pineapple which has been enriched and mellowed by sprinkling 1t with fine sugar and lettin git stand for an hour or so before serving. Core the pine apple, of course, and dress the berries in mound upon the pine apple slices. Top with a few small slivers of the pineapple leaves as tuft.

 A similar dessert is made with fresh sour cherries that have been pitted and stewed with sugar to suit the taste.

Summer Time Is Picnic Time

Maybe its the gypsy in us that sets us longing for the open road at this time of the year. And when that wanderlust hits, one might as well yield to it and set of toward the horizon. But it's a good idea to pack up lunch before you start!
 Even those whose appetites are bit capricious when they seat themselves at @ table indoors can become keenly interested in that lunch basket as it is unpacked on some grassy meadow. There's some- thing about food eaten outdoors which makes difference, 1t seems
 The first thought in food when picnics are mentioned Is usually sandwiches. Slices of bread with delicious filings might have been invented especially to be packed in picnic hampers. They are easy to prepare, and slices of the roast from the day before, or sliced ham or meat loaf, make good filings. Sand wiches, with fruit and cookies and milk, coffee or fruit juice in a ther- mos bottle, make up very satisfy ing picnic menu.
 Another type of picnic lunch which is growing in favor contains hot main dish, or one which can be relocated easily at the picnic spot. A casserole heavy enough to hold the heat can be well wrapped up and the food will be just right when it reaches the picnic spot. Meat and vegetables cooked to- gether are good for this picnic dish. Inez s. Wilson, home economist, suggests this casserole dish which can be carried hot to the picnic, or relocated there.

 2 pounds lamb shoulder
 12 small onions

Add 2 cups meat stock and cook until thickened. Season wi thWrcoba,- thickened. Season with Worcester shire sauce. Pour this over the meat and vegetables and cook in a moder- ate oven until meat and vegetables are done, about forty minutes.

AN ONION OMELET

You have heard of asparagus omelets and considered them a spring luxury. Try using tender lit- tie spring onions in much the same way. Cook the onions until they are tender in boiling salted water to which a little sugar has been added, drain and dress them with rich cream sauce. Prepare the omelet and garnish 1t with the onions and sauce, sprinkled with a little finely minced parsley. Send at once to the table while the dish is piping hot.

FRUIT DRESSING

When serving a fruit salad of mixed small fruits, which may be considered as both salad course and dessert for family meals, try rasp- berry mayonnaise for the dressing. For this you may use raspberry jam or stewed raspberries, drained or their liquor. Break the jam or mash the berries with fork, add ? tablespoons lemon juice, a dash of salt, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1-4 cup of cream whipped until stiff. Chill thoroughly before serving.
