Henderson Says All
Phases of r e lty
Market Favorable

Every phase Of the local real
estate market has been favorably
affected in recent months, Walter
l.. Henderson, vice president OF
Homer Warren e. Co. declared
Saturday in reporting a total vol
ume of 1901, 735 for his firm dur
ing the last seven weeks.
The business comprised the sale
OF 30 single homes. IL two-flats.
three multiple dwellings. three in
dustrial sites. two vacant business
plots, one commercial property,
six commercial leases and II IN
dustrial leases.
Public Interested
at Is quite evident from con-
tact with the general public that
real estate Is again becoming
the Interesting topic of CONVEX
sation," Henderson said.
I'VE have not experienced this
for years. The FILA has been q
prime factor in this general in
terest Of home ownership and
naturally has provoked q great
deal OF discussion.
"The Hole and insurance
companies have made home
ownership attractive and desir-
able by a full and complete re-
conditioning program and very
easy term plan Of purchase.
Hot Spots Multiply
Hot spots, owing to increased
population and population shifts,
have multiplied and expanded.
Multiple dwellings are looked
upon with favor because Of In
creased income and increment.
The subject of imitation has
again renewed q desire to pur-
chase farms and estates.
1.-THE defense program has
necessitated the acquisition of
Industrial sites and expansion OF
plants. Industrial employment
is at Its highest level In years.
Thus we find every phase Of
the real estate market favorably
affected and people in all walks
of life are talking real estate"

 "The President has received an official dispatch from Churchill, i" Early said. Tt was not at all in the nature of a protest. But it did express Churchill's, concern and that of his government at the announce nlent of the Iceland movement.
 Did JeOpardize Lives
 "rt was said that announcements such as this did jeopardize lives. He was speaking of British lives"
 He referred to She possibility that any British troops to be withdrawn from Iceland might be placed in jeopardy by the fact that the move- n1e1lt had become common knowl- edge.
 This dispatch, Early said came directly from Churchill and was handed to MT. Roosevelt by the State Department.
 Early personally criticized Wheel CTS action yesterday, prompting c reply from the isola tionist senator that the American people have the right to know every step that is being taken by the administration which tends to involve us in war"
 He charged that the Iceland inci- dent was a move by the adfninistra- tion to "get us into a shooting war"
 President Roosevelt said the Wheeler case speaks for itself.

Several Principals
 Involved In Changes
Dr. COndon Declines to Comment on Reports of Alp.
 pointments, Transfers Pending Board Meeting

Dr. Gilmartin's selection Monday night was made after Republican members had voiced opposition to the creation of the new position, which had been vacant for eight years. Final balloting, however, re- suited in unanimous agreement on the choice of the new assistant su- perintendent. He will receive $4,300 per year, in addition to $900 annu- ally he is already paid as supervisor of night schools.
 Miss Elizabeth Carroll is expected to succeed Miss Keefe as principal of Barnard School. Miss Carroll at present is principal of Mary Abbott School. Miss Keefe has served at the head of Barnard School for somewhat more than one year.
 Besides the transfers, 1t is be- lieved that many teachers will re- ceive appointments to the lower grades of local grammar schools. In recent months numerous resigna- tions, due in most instances to age retirement and marriage, have been turned in to the board and accept ed. Names of the new appointees will not be announced until the August 4th board meeting.
 Transfers, subject to board ap- proval, are:

Superintendent of Schools Thom- as J. Condon today refused to con- firm or deny reports of widespread appointments and transfers of teachers and principals, throughout the city.
 It was well established, however, that Miss E. Mae Keefe, principal of Barnard School, had been desig. mated as the choice to succeed Dr. John G Gilmartin as principal of Duggan and Begnal Schools. Dr. Gilrrartin was elevated to the post of aSsiS tant superintendent of schools at the meeting of the board of education, Monday night.
 The principalship is generally re. garded as the most important in the local grammar schools, and Dr. Gil- martin received an annual salary of S4,l00 while serving in that capacity. The salary Miss Keefe will receive will not be disclosed until the next meeting of the school board on Au- gust 4th, at which time her ap. pointment is expected to be formally approved. Other appointments and transfers will probably be acted up- on at the same meeting.
 The superintendent is empowered by the rules of the board to make appointments, but of3lcial occupancy of ateaching posts does not take until members of the board indicate by vote their approval of the can- didate.

Association Given Reasons
For Fewer Shuttle Buses

Reasons for the drastic curtail-
ment Of the bus schedule OF the
shuttle service from Bradbury
Heights to Barney Circle were given
last night at a meeting of the Brad
bury Heights Citizens Association
by Leslie L Altman, president OF
the w M. and A. Motor Lines.
The service, which was started
February "a after nearly a years
effort by the citizens association,
was reduced from 10 trips daily to
IS after SO days of operation be-
cause of the lack of passengers, Mr..
Altman told the group. During
the first % days of the service, the
bus company's books showed a def
cit Of S654.3e on that line, he said.
Mr.. Altman assured the citizens
If the traffic on this line picks up
he would increase the number OF
daily trips.
In a letter to the highway de-
partment, the association asked that
Southern avenue be open from Ala
bama avenue to Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and be placed in proper condi-
ton. A committee, to be named
later, was instructed to contact the
director of highways to determine
if the District is contemplating
widening Alabama avenue from
Pennsylvania avenue to the District
line.
Henry Austin, president, presided.
