DR.. r. A. Vonderlehr, assistant
yesterday that If the public-fathers,
mothers, wives-knew the extent to
which prostitution exists around
some Army and Navy encampments
they would go to town in getting
it cleaned up"
DR.. Vonderlehr, who is in charge
of the venereal disease division of
the United States Public Health
Service, told a press conference that
no attempt has been made to en-
force the May law which gives the
Army power to call for Federal
cleanup of prescribed areas if local
and State authorities fail to do so.
Selectees, all of whom were free of
venereal disease when accepted for
military service, are becoming in
fected at an increasing rate, he
said, adding that the incidence of
syphilis in the present Army is as
high as before the selectees were
indicted, while the rate for gonor-
rhea has gone up.
AS public health officer he said
he favored enforcement of the laws
and repression of prostitution rather
than segregation and attempted
control of prostitutes.
He said an aroused public opinion
could force action by local and State
authorities who are sometimes slow
to act because of racketeering.

loans up to $780, In the District,
the maximum interest rate was
! fixed at / per cent a month and
the highest loan at 5000.
The proposed new law would per-
nit, in addition to 2 per cent
interest rate, a small loan up to
$500.
Small loan companies operating
in the District under the proposed
! legislation would be required to
have minimum cash capital of
| $25 900, to post bond of $4,000 to
insure compliance with the law and
pay an annual license fee of $3.50
In addition, $50 fee is called for
to cover the cost of investigation of
an applicant for license to engage
| in the small loan business.
"The primary purpose of this
BILL" said the District Committees
report to the House. lis to supply
authority for the regulation of all
types of small loans, including small
loans of types without the scope Of
the existing law. The use of wage
assignments Is regulated.
Affects Outside Loans.
Loans made in the District Of
Columbia in violation of the bill ere
declared invalid, and loans made
elsewhere, unless authorized by loan
laws the regulatory provisions Of
which are similar in principle to
those contained in this bill, are
declared uncomfortable in the Dis
trict if the interest charged is in
excess of that provided by this bill
"Other features of the bill de-
signed to safeguard borrowers are
| requirements that the full amount
of the loan be paid to the borrower
at the time the loan is made, pro-
hibition against making special loans
to husband and wife in excess of
$500, requirement that statement of
the amount and terms of the loan
be furnished the borrower, and pro-
hibition against the taking by lend
ers of confessions of judgment"
Discouraged Small Loan Capital.
Aside from the low per cent
interest rate, the reason small loan
companies left the District, the comS
mittee report pointed out, was that
the low maximum Of loans, coupled
with the greater hazard of loans of
this type and the greater cost of
operation incident to investigation Of
applicants for loans and the collec-
ton of loans of the monthly pay
ment basis, discouraged legitimate
capital to be employed in this field.
THE great majority of small loan
borrowers who have not established
their credit at banks" the report de-
clared, ARE therefore forced to 60
outside the District for loans, or to
patronize lenders who, by means of
so-called brokerage commissions and
other devices, successfully evade the
terms of the act"

F. B. |. Masquerade
Was UnintentionaI,
Singer Tells Court
Lois Lockner Convicted,
Faces Maximum of Nine
Years in Prison
By the Associated Press.

20 NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Night Club
Singer Lois Lockner's voice shook
yesterday as she told Federal Judge
Grover M. Moscowitz that she had
been lust foolish youngster" tell
ing F. B. l. acquaintance that
she was an agent, too.
ut was unintentional and done
without malice" the pretty 22-year-
old defendant said after being con-
victed of falsely representing her
self as Federal employee with in
tent to defraud.
II want to get somewhere and
have high ambitions" she pleaded.
by finding me guilty the court has
wiped out that chance"
Miss Lockner had testified that
the whole thing started at the
Beaux Arts Apartment House bar
one night last summer when she
thought it was smart to say she was
connected with the Justice Depart
ment.
Complications developed. she said
because about Is F. B. I. agents
were. like herself, residents of the
Beaux Arts, and she found herself
more and more involved after each
introduction.
There were still further compli-
cations, she added, when she went
to Jones Beach with three F. B. I.
men and suffered a severe Sunburn.
Then the doctor came to her apart
ment, remarked he had heard she
was with the F. B. l., and I didn't
say anything or deny it."
In her plea to the court, she said
she was questioned at F. 3. I. head
quarters before the indictment was
returned but lied about her associa-
ton with F. B. I. agents ito save
the jobs of those boys in the service"
Il told those who questioned me
that I had not seen these agents"
she said when the court asked
what did you lie about?"
Throughout the trial Miss Lock
ner's memory proved bad. She
couldn't remember who gave her
$4,000 once and she couldn't recall
the source of the money with which
she paid an overdue hospital bill
the source of her difficulties-last
Tuesday night.
She faces maximum sentence of
nine years imprisonment and a
$4,000 fine. She will be sentenced
next Thursday.

absence.
Both of them now are on an air
trip around South America in search
of f1rst-hand information as to
what causes commercial air line
crashes. Representative Nichols is
chairman of special committee the
House appointed to make such an
investigation. Mr.. Dirksen is a
member of the committee.
1t is not definitely known whether
the air crash committee will return
by November 8, the next District
day in the House-a day on which
the measure could be called up in
regular order.
Meanwhile, several House men,
bers are planning to riddle the bill
with amendments.
Representative D'Alesa ndro
Democrat, of Maryland, who feels
the proposed per cent interest rate
is too high, announced he would
offer an amendment from the floor
to reduce it to per cent. He failed
in an attempt to do this when the
bill was before the committee.
"a small loan is a working mans
loan," he declared. "Why soak him?
A small loan company should be
able to operate successfully on an
interest rate of l per cent month"
Representative Shafer, Republic
can, of Michigan said he is prepar-
ing an amendment that would pre-
vent the return to Washington of
pawnbrokers who were outlawed in
1913. He fears the small loan bill,
in its present form, might allow
pawnbrokers to come back here and
do business legally.
The law which chased paWnbrok-
ers out of the District also caused
a number of small loan companies
to move into nearby Maryland and
Virginia because in those States a
3 per cent interest rate per month
is allowed on the unpaid balance of

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.-Rear

Recently recalled from retirement,
the former commandant of the 18th
naval district spoke yesterday be-
fore the National Metals Congress.
Defense strikes, he asserted, have
become impossible" and III the
citizens could be made to realize the

about 125.000 tank soldiers.
A large percentage of those
