HOME OWNERSHIP

Henry Gregory And Others
Address District B. And

eff democracy is to survive, i

future of the nation depends OF
perpetuation of home ownership
and making it AVAILABLE declared
Henry Gregory, Jr., of o
Mount, state president, at the an
nual district banquet meeting o
the Building and Loan association:
in Southeastern North Carolina las
night at the Cape Fear hotel.
Gregory referred to building ane
loan groups and their position ir
the national defense program with
the remark "home ownership con-
stitutes the internal defense Of
America"
"a person who owns his own
home, who is rooted to the soil.
a not be easily tempted to de-
sert his home" said Gregory, who
congratulated those present or
their affiliation with organizations
that are perpetuating home own
ership.
G. Dudley Humphrey presided
and delivered the welcoming adj
dress. Approximately 40 represen'
tatives of building and loan asso'
Citations in Southeastern North Car
DINA attended.
Quincy B. Snipes, of the Caro-
lima Building and J ,an association,
was unanimously elected district
president to succeed William M.
Hill of the Peoples Building and
Loan association.
George w. Crone, of Raleigh,
deputy insurance commissioner,
said at the close of 1889 the state
associations had 80 million in total
assets, 20 million in loans, nine
million loaned out for new construc-
ton, II and a half millio, in ma
tured loans, and had paid out two
and a half millions in earnings and
profits.
Building and loan associations in
the state, he said, are continuing
to move along on a sound and
solid basis. Crone urged the as.
sociation to consider carefully
changes to be made in order to
meet the competition of other Ian
agencies.
Efforts looking toward the CO.
ordination of activities of building
and loan groups in the state were
reviewed by Martin Gaudian, of
Raleigh, executive secretary, who
approved local advertising pro-
grams having the idea of promot-
ing home ownership and savings.
\ Gaudian said local groups had
adopted the minimum standards
for construction in a move for in
creased service to share holders,

PLAN ANNOUNCED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-R-A
new air corps organization plan
aimed at having more than $4,000
war planes ready to speed to the
defense of any tire; .ened point in
the hemisphere a announced to-
day by the army.
It involves the creation of four
major air districts in continental
United States and an increase in
the number of combat groups from
an existing Is to 81.
"This highly mobile fighting
force" the war department said,
will be so organized as to permit
efficient operation by the whole or
any specially organized portion in
the defense of any theatre of the
western hemisphere"
Not until sometime in 1912"
will the vastly augmented force,
comparable in size to those Of
warning Germany and Great Brit

and new fighting units r being
organized as fast as planes come

The army now rates only about

CONSIDERS DEFENSE
Nation Reported Acting In
Cooperation With Other
American Republics
IS WATCHING AXIS
French Possessions Which
May Be Seized Include
Islands OF Martinique

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-tR-
The United States, acting in CO.
operation with other American re-
publics, was said reliably tonight
to have plans ready for occupying
French territory in the Caribbean
area in case such a step is deemed
necessary from a hemisphere de-
tense viewpoint.
Signs of possibly closer cooper
alton between France n the
Axis powers were creating intense
interest here. The talks of Adolf
Hitler with Marshal Henri Petain
and Vice Premier Pierre Laval
were watched closely for any in
dication of a new trend in French
policy which might affect Frances
colonial empire Or its fleet.
Wide Latitude
The broad terms of the recent
Act of Havana allowed wide lati-
tude to the American republics in
determining the circumstances I'M
der which French or other Euro
pean possessions in the hemisphere
might be seized.
