No Federal Job
 Anticipated For Brass City 'sMayor

The prospect of Waterbury's losing its mayor to the exigencies of the national defense program was not sufficiently serious today to arouse immediate alarm among the local citizenrys in the opinion of JShn F. Fitzmaurice, executive secretary to Mayor Scully.
 Rum0rs have been waited to and fro for some time, particular ly in view of the mayors absence from the city for the past few daya that his name was being considered for Mayor FiorellO HI. LaGuardia's defense commission, as S replacement for some of the present personnel.
 Mayor Scully has, of course, been active in state and city de- fense measures, and has been c0m- mended for this interest in the national campaign, but those close to him insist they have heard of no proposals tO remove him from the Waterbury scene, and appoint him to the federal commission

DEFENSE POSTERS
 ISSUED BY SCOUTS
Fifty Already Displayed Through Efforts of Boys
 in Various Troops

Boy Scouts of many of the city's troops are now at work distribut- ing national defense posters around town. One hundred large-Size post CTS depicting a minute man and urg- ing people to buy defense bonds and saving stamps were received by the headquarters of the Mattatuck Council some time ago.
 It was decided to have the posters distributed by scouts of all the troops in the city following the close of Camp Mattatuck for the season. Nerve s. Robert. assistant scout exe- cutiye, who. has been in charge of the local headquarters in the ab- Sence of Chief Executive David F. Bahson, has been getting in touch with as many Scoutr6asters as are in the city in regard to the cam pagn.
 Detachments of boys from many troops have appeared at headquar- terS for their posters, and half of the hundred have now been placed on display.
 Some of the scout troops in the city are having regular meetings, although their numbers are decimat- ed by vacations. Others plan to start their fall activities next week, after the Labor Day weekend.
 If the suggestions made at the recent planning conference of scout leaders at Camp Mattatuck are all adopted, the coming year will be a very active one for scouts and lead CTS of the Mattatuck council. The annual program which was tenta- lively drawn up at that meeting will be presented to the various scout masters at a general roundtable conference of all the council mem bers at Camp Mattatuck on Oct. {
 All troops in the council are urged by Chief Executive Babson to plan their own programs for the year as soon, as possible, and to correlate. tpem with the projects sponsored by the council as 6 whole.
 Local scouts are also being urged by their leaders to aid as much as possible in the current campaign against the ragweed nuisance. It's to De an all-out warfare, with no quarter given. This effort Is being stressed as one Of the most tangible ways in which a scout who has, or wants to earn q Public Health Merit badge, can contribute to the welfare and he comfort of the community.

BANKS TURN TO
 MORTGAGE LOANS
Handled About One-Fifth of Mortgages First Half
 of l94l

Chicago, Aug. 3O.-Commercial banks are buying and investing in mortgage loans as almost never be- fore in their history, the Mortgage Bankers Association of America pointed out today. Banks and trust companies made about a fifth of the nearly 1-4 billion dollars of urban mortgages recorded in the first half of this year, the Associa- tion data showed. In 194O, insured commercial banks, representing 94 per cent of all commercial banks in the nation, enlarged their residential mortgage portfolio by around Il per cent, or by nearly $286 ,000, ,000. This compared with a gain of only 7h per cent the year before, illustrating, said Dean R. Hill of Buffalo, asso- ciation president, the greater atten- tion banks are giving mortgages as investments and revenue e-producers.
 Because of this increasing interest, the Mortgage Bankers Association will devote an important part of it's forthcoming 28th annual Conven- ton in New York, October l, and 3 to the special mortgage problems confronting banks and trust com panies.
 H. R. Templeton, vice-president, The Cleveland Trust Company, Cleveland, will address the Associa- tion'S bank and trust company sec- tion on October 2. A number of spe- cial bank problems are scheduled for the second day of the conven- tion which is to be devoted exclu- sively to a Conventional Loans Clinic conducted by Paul J. Vollmar, oS The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company of Cipcinnati. The Clinic type of meeting was originated in 1940 by the Mortgage Bankers Association which has sponsored nearly 30 similar Clinics.
