May Abolish
Spring Grid

sun VALLEY. Ida. - Opinion
was divided here today among
coaches and athletic directors Of
the Pacific Coast conference as
they took up a proposal to abol-
ish spring football practice.
Football coaches from the ten
member schools of the conference
indicated at informal discussion
that a plan to limit practice to a
period before the fall playing sea-
son would weaken the game. They
asserted spring training was nee
essary to teach new squad men,
bers and sophomores their respec-
tive systems.
Baseball and track coaches,
however, supported the move
because they claimed spring
football lures athletes away
from the regular spring sports.
The question was one of the
most pressing that coaches, facul-
ty members and graduate man.
ayers of the conference were
scheduled to act upon at their
annual summer meeting.
The Atherton plan to clean up"
PROSECUTING of athletes and sched-
ules for 1941 to 1945. which will
enable Idaho and Montana to meet
the larger schools at least once a
year, will also be discussed.

Finally, there are no Federal
taxes involved in FILA insured
mortgages unless loss occurs on all
FILA insured loans beyond the in
surance fee charged on every such
mortgage. I understand that there
has been no loss on any of these
apartment projects adjacent to any
American city and certainly there
has been no loss on any such mort
gage located near Washington city.
FILA charges over 100000 year
as insurance premium on the Piney
Branch Apartment mortgage, every
dollar of which mortgage, together
with other dollars paid in by the
owners, will go to build the apart
ments.
"The same thing applies to the
Federal Deposit Insurance fund
which is annually contributed to by
the insured banks from the earn
ings of the banks so that the FDIC
indemnity fund has increased sew
eral hundred million dollars from
such payments made by the banks
themselves, and consequently Fed
eral taxpayers money has not been
used to make payments to deposit
tors in FDIC insured banks.
"There is no essential difference
in either the liability or procedure
of the FILA between mortgage in
sured by the FILA on an individual
home or on group of homes, that
is to say, on apartments. To be
fair in its attacks on this mort
gage, the Independent" should
attack all other FILA mortgage
financing of the hundreds upon
hundreds of home units built
through this method of financing
in suburban Montgomery county.

the reason that such allegations are
bound to create prejudice against
the individual concerning whom
they are untruthfully alleged.
II consequently feel entirely JUS
tilted in requesting that you give
this statement of the true facts OF
the situation, which you so gen
orally misstated last week, equal
prominence and circulation in your
issue of the current week.
Very truly yours,
E. BROOKE LEE"
