United States attorney, produced
evidence that fifty 5-gallon cans of
whisky were confiscated along with
the automobile in a garage near
Fifteenth street and Piney Branch
road NV. in September Of 1898.
The agents had been waiting all
night, and in their eagerness to
make a catch they arrested a man
as he was about to place two
OF the cans in the car, which had
been rented. The rental agency
sought return of the car.
Mrs. Stiles convinced the court
the agency had failed to make an
investigation into the character Of
the renter, as required by law.

The steps necessary to settle
real estate transaction were dis
cussed Thursday by Harry j. Kane,
jr., of the Real Estate and Columbia
Title Insurance Cos. in the eighth
session of the forum being conducted
by the Washington Real Estate
Board.
Mr.. Kane used the approved form
of sales contract which the local
Real Estate Board has prepared for
the use of purchasers. Analyzing
each section of the standard con-
tract, he explained the necessity Of
having all essential facts embodied
in the contract and for having a
definite understanding between buy
er and seller. In his talk Mr.. Kane
cited many Interesting decisions of
the local courts pertaining to real
estate transactions and touched upon
the origin of the legal processes by
which real property is transferred
Announcement was made by j.
A. Herbert, jr., chairman of the
Education Committee of the Real
Estate Board, that Roger ]. White
ford, counsel for the realtors Or
ganization, will speak next Thursday
night on the subject when Does

Interest Rute Cut
Held Key to Housing

That providing low-cost housing
for the Nations lowest-income
groups rests far less in continued
governmental grants and subsidies
than in cutting the interest rate on
construction loans is the general
conclusion of a survey just COM
pleted by the Housing Committee
of the National Electrical Contrac-
tors Association and which is to
be presented to the United States
Chamber of Commerce for con-
sideration this spring.
The committees study indicates
that there is little likelihood of a
substantial volume of low-cost hous-
ing developing until construction
loan rates are cut to 21a per cent.
"Such a reduction" in the opinion
of j. Norman Pierce, chairman of
the committee, would by no means
have a disastrous effect on the prop
erty financing structure. Rather it
would eventually prove boon be-
cause the tremendously increased
volume would more than Offset the
smaller interest income. F. H. AS
continued reductions in rates in
dicate that lower charges for build
ing money are necessary. A further
reduction from AZ per cent to 4
per cent Is logical expectation
now"

SOFIA, Feb. 15.-The cabinet Of
Premier George Kiosseivanon re-
signed today and King Boris i'm
mediately called Prof. Bogdan Phil
OF, minister of education, to form
q new Bulgarian government.
Kiosseivano1, close friend Of
the king, had reorganized his cabi-
net for the eighth time in less than
four years only last October %, re-
tanning the double role Of premier
and foreign minister.
Kiosseivanoff's resignation was
caused by his bitter fight with Ivan

Russia.
Bogranoff, a popular member of
the Kiosseivanoh government, was
said to favor further Tightening of
relations with Moscow,
The two men were known to have
quarreled also over domestic policy.
with Bogranon demanding return
to democratic parliamentary rule
which Kiosseivanof opposed.
Philod, also close friend of King
Boris. is professor of archaeology
and president Of the Bulgarian
Academy Of Sciences.
Political circles expected Kios-
seivanof1's foreign ministry port
volio to 60 to Ivan. Popoff, Bulgarian
Minister to Yugoslavia.
This was interpreted as meaning
that the King desires further to in
tensify Bulgaria's close relations
with Belgrade.

A tree was blown over by the wind

Hundreds of motorists were

other vehicles skidded at such places

False Statements
Charged in Reyoking
Broadcast License
Salisbury (Md.) Stotion
Affected BY Ruling
Of Commission

False statements and representa-
tions In the application and public
hearing were given by the Federal
Communications Commission yes
terday as grounds, for proposed find
ings revoking the radio broadcast
license Of Station WSAL at Sails
bury, Md. The station Is licensed In
the name Of Frank M. Stearns. OF
this city. who has 40 days to contest
the findings by taking exceptions,
filing q petition for rehearing, or
appealing to the United States Court
Of Appeals Of the District Of Colum-
bia.
This station is the only one on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland, but
the commission held that any con-
tention that satisfactory service has
been rendered and that the COM
munity in question would be without
service in the future was immaterial
in this case. The commission issued
its original revocation order in Oc-
tober, alleging that Glenn D. Gil
lett, local radio engineer, was in
actual control Of the station. During
the interim, when lengthy hearings
were held by Commissioner Thad H.
Brown, the station was allowed to
remain on the air.
The commission said that where,
as In the WSAL case, license is
obtained as a direct result Of false
statements and representations un-
der oath, involving among other
things an applicants financial re-
sponsibility and made to the COM
mission in the application itself as
well as In the evidence submitted
at public hearing in support of it,
the Federal regulatory body has
only one course of action, and that
is to make final its order of revo-
cation upon that ground alone. 1t
added that If the real facts had
been known to the commission with
respect to the applicants finances
the commission could not have le-
gally authorized the issuance of q
license.
The proposed findings further
state that in requiring that appli-
cants for licenses be found legally.
technically, financially and other
wise qualified, Congress recognized
that communities win be better
served by those who truthfully show
themselves to be qualified in all
such respects than by persons who
are willing to be used as mere fig
ureheads for others who for rea-
sons best known to themselves de-
sire to conceal their interest.
The action in this case is a part
Of movement of the commission
to purge the air of broadcast sta
tions whose actual ownership has
not been disclosed to the commits
sion. Several other stations had
their licenses ordered revoked dur
ing the early part of the month,
several other cases are pending, and
still others have been cited for hear
ings.
