SEN. MEAD STUDIES
AGE DISCRIMINATION

Washington, D. c.. (ILNS) Sen
ator James M. Mead, New York, who
has made repeated complaint against
age discrimination in the Federal Civil
Service and who has had bill passed
by the Senate to eliminate such dis
elimination, is investigating the re-
employment problems of furloughed
railroad workers.
Senator Mead quoted a letter just
received from an upstate New York
official of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen who wrote:
"There is a serious employment
problem before the members of this
organization. The furloughed rail
road man finds this situation:
l. He is seldom qualified by expert
ence or training for the trades and,
therefore, cannot get placement in
airplane, munitions, or machine shops.
The same applies to navy yards.
2. He usually lacks the high school
education and special training re-
quired for Civil Service. He finds
himself in competition with college
graduates and professional men who
although lacking in working expert
ence, find it easier to pass the exam
nation
= 3. The laid-off train service man
cannot obtain employment at his trade
because of the application of the 35-
year age limit. The old practice of
forgetting" about ten years is
stopped because the railroads now re-
quire birth certificate, Social Sc
curity card, etc. The requirements of
the Railroad Retirement Act and
other laws make this necessary. If it
were not for the age limit almost all
Of our furloughed men could be re-
employed upon nearby railroad sys-
TENS.
1--WE would at this time ask you to
do all that you can to provide means
for the abandonment of unreasonable
age limitations In the rehiring of men.
If something Is not done there re-
mains little but public relief and costs
to the taxpayer for these jobless rail
road men, Legislation favoring the
railroads should be made only upon
the condition that the railroads aban-
don the age limits. What is being
done along this line
Senator Mead said that he would
promptly bring this situation to the
attention of proper government Off
cials at Washington and would seek
to determine what possible, practical
aid might be offered to these men who
have passed their thirty-fifth mile
stone in life.

about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly. Sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Federal H ou ing Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald is warning home
buyers against possible return of "dis-
credited financing practices" He's
hitting of course at the mortgage
sharks, with their exorbitant rates of
interest and renewal charges and sec
ond and third mortgages.
The roaring 192O's were the hey
dey of the mortgage sharks, who
fourished and waxed fat, along with
many other racketeers of that lush
decade.
No wonder they are loath to give
up their graft and that they hang on,
here and there, despite discrediting
of their financing practices by in
creasing popularity of the Federal
Housing Administration plan of loans.
They were the boys, in banks and
other places, who made three-year or
shorter term loans on home mort
cages, at fat per cent or better in
terest, and charged exorbitant fees
for making the loan. Then when the
loan came due, they charged even
more exorbitant fees, if that was pos
sible, on pain of foreclosure.
Often the victim had no recourse
except to pay the fees. Howls of
anguish were loud and many, but did
no good.
X
But the mortgage racket brought
retribution. The public demanded
something better, with the result that
the F. H. A. mortgage plan was in
augurated.
F. H. A. plan of long-term amor
tized loans, for building of new homes
or to finance purchase of existing
houses, at moderate rates of interest
and with monthly payments covering
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-01-19

taxes and insurance, has Jared the
old-time mortgage loan racket.
Now with home building looking
up, the old-time lenders are hoping
for comeback, F. H. A. Boss McDon-
aid says. He warns home buyers to
look out for 'em, declaring the single
long g-term mortgage is now indispens-
able for the maintenance of sound
home-inancing systems.
Only a few lenders cling to old
fashioned short-term renewal mort
cages, Mcdonald says, seeming to feel
that loans above SO or 60 per cent of
the appraised value of a property or
running longer than IL years are not
sound
Revival of such practices, he as
serts, would result in a virtual sus-
pension of home building or a gen
eral return to the costly second and
third mortgages.
Danger of a return to unsound fl
nancing methods becomes greater,
Administrator Mcdonald thinks, as
home building activity increases.
Despite efforts on the part of the
F. H. A, lending institutions and 9TH
ers to popularize the single long-term
amortized mortgage and to expose the
weakness of the old system, never
theless when the real estate market
becomes actively competitive, possi-
bility arises of high-pressure sales
methods being used.
Few homes would be built, McDon-
aid says, if people could not obtain
loans for the major part of their ex-
penditure since most people have to
pay out of their current income. Only
a few families have enough cash to
make more than a 10 or 20 per cent
down payment, and they must be al
lowed to pay the balance over long
term of years.
If first mortgage loans are re-
stricted to small proportion of value
Mr.. Mcdonald said, buyers will nee
essarily turn to second and third mort
cages. This generally overburdens
families with excessive debt and heavy
charges.
"The F. H. A. provides a safe fl
nancing method for both borrowers
and lenders" he added. "The F. H. A
is dealing with national mortgage
market and not just a series of iso-
lated transactions. There can be no
sound sustained home building pro-
gram for families of modest incomes
except upon the basis of system of
long-term mortgage loans payable in
regular installments. Home buyers
should beware of using any other fl
nancing method unless they purposely
choose to do so after careful study OF
the sound facilities now available"

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Those
VINO draw their portraits with
magnificent, exciting and touch
ing words often have sketched
for us the glories of the 1920's,
the Golden Age of Sports.
It was a booming, rushing era
that brought us Dempsey, the
killer of the ring; Jones, the art
list of the links; Ruth, the bludg-
eoner of baseball; Hitchcock, the
dervish of polo; Weissmuller, the
porpoise of the pools; Tilden, the
crafty king of the courts; and
Nurmi, the rhythmic runner.
Surely that was great period.
But the decade just past, the
Thirties, spawned some polished
performers of it's own. Perhaps
history will judge some of these
as even mightier than their
predecessors of the TwentieS.
Who were these standouts of
the Thrilling Thirties?
Golf gave us many marVels.
There was Ralph Guldahl, one of
the few men ever to win the Ma
tional Open championship two
straight years, who set an all
time scoring record; and Denny
Shute, an icy-veined competitor,
twice match play ruler, who also
won the British Open and tied
for the American; then there
was Gene Sarazen, who won the
British and American Open and
the Professionals championships.
Cooper. Picard. Snead
Harry Cooper was a low scor-
er for many years, as was Henry
Picard, who won the Professional
crown. Sammy Snead was the
hitting glamor boy.
Baseball had many stars. The
current kingpin, Joe DiMaggio,
may go down in history as the
greatest of all time The game
has seen few pitchers as great
over a period of years as King
Carl Hubbell or Lefty Grove.
Possibly none flashed brighter

A NAVY WIFE SPEAKS

Editor, The Citizen:
I read in your paper last week
that the American Legion and
citizens of this town are going
to provide recreation and amuse-
ment for the Navy boys who
have been transferred here. That
is fine and heartily approve, but
do the people of this town real
ize that a large percentage of
those boys are husbands and
fathers and are moving their
families out here?
am sure there are. other
Navy wives here, besides my
self-and there will be more,
plenty more, if this base is kept
open. How about us? Does Key
West have anything to offer us
in the way of decent entertain
ment-when our husbands are
out patroling your shores, or
when they are home and free to
seek recreation with us?
We Navy wives have seen lot
of towns and usually there is a
Navy Wives Club or some place
we can have card parties or
dances. Some folks may have
the impression that we are a
wild lot, but if you took the trou-
BILE to get acquainted with us,
you would change your opinion,
l am sure.
Personally, 1 like your unusual
town-all but the long hours that
drag and drag. Do you ladies of
Key West have any suggestions
for turning them into useful, en-
joyable hours? If not, how about
it, Navy "girls"-lets get togeth--
err and find something to do. If
I am not the only one with
"time on my hands" and you are
interested in some sort of club,
please write to Navy Wife" in
care of this paper.

THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

My New Years resolution list
this year, it was as long as ever.
And at the very top is a re-
solve to kenceforth read no more
2-cOlumn columns on what some
body is gonna do for the farmers.
And next comes a resolution TO
put a deaf ear on White House
gossip picked up by our CULVER
ing Lady Reporters. And the
third term guesSers, l am taboo
ing them-complete..
And plump women in Stacks,
I resolve to refrain, if possible,
from wanting to let go with both
barrels when one of 'em rippleS
over the horizon.
And while we are talking
about ladies, any bride who is
in quanGary, and does not know
what to do about a 1910 reSolu-
ton, she could consider this
swear off on boudoir clothes in
the breakfast nook. Cleopatra,
she would not have had much
allure nibbling at her breakfast
in tin-crimpers and night-shirt.
Brides who will follow this re-
solve, they will not be stewing
around all next year about who
the dark-eyed steno happens to
be, down at the office.
But all in all, 1910, she looks
great. Cactus Jack versus the
