All FILA mortgages provide for

Term 'ReaIior' Held
Entering New Era
OF Usefulness
Koones Says Title
Identifies Men Who
Abide by Code

The term realtor has entered a
new period of usefulness, Charles
c. Koones, president OF the Wash
ington Real Estate Board, declared
today. The term was coined to
identify men in real estate work who
are pledged to abide by the realtor S
code of business ethics he said.
"As war and Government activ-
ities of realtors become more COM
pick. the designation realtor be-
comes increasingly of Importance to
the general public, indicating as it
does those persons in the business
of real estate whose competency
for the work they undertake and
whose standards of business conduct
are attested by their membership
in their local real estate board and
in the National Association of Real
Estate Boards.
They have access constantly to
the great stream of information and
thought kept in national circulation.
Recent action of the National As
sociation of Real Estate, Boards set
ting up conditions under which the
term realtor may be incorporated
in a real estate board name is giving
new emphasis to the meaning of
this coined term" Mr.. Koones,
stated.
Not q Real Estate Agent.
In order to clarity for the people
of the District the significance and
correct use of the term realtor,
the Washington Real Estate Board
Is now distributing numerous copies
of Superior Equipment OF the
Realtor"
Within the territory of the Wash
ington board no one may advertise
himself as q realtor except active
members of the local real estate
board in good standing and mem
bers of the national association from
other cities who have permission OF
the local board.
The term realtor Is not syno-
nym for real estate agent" Mr..
Koones said. TT is the distinctive
and exclusive designation for those
within the membership of the ma
tional association.
"A realtor is person engaged in
the real estate business who Is
board member or an individual
member of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards, is subject to
its rules and regulations, observes
its standards of conduct and is en-
titled to its benefits. The associa-
ton diligently promotes its proper
use as a safeguard for the public
In dealing with real estate agents.
Business Competence ConnOted.
The term definitely connotes
business competence and high
standards of business conduct.
Every realtor has pledged that he
will observe and abide by the code
of ethics promulgated by the ma
tional association, and adopted by
his own board to govern real estate
practices of members and has mani
tested that he is of good business
character and that he is capable of
properly caring for real estate mat
ters entrusted to him.
The term was coined by Charles
N. OIldQDUuIIi, uleIlDcf VI Tile
Minneapolis Real Estate Board. 1t
was presented to and adopted by the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards in 1916.
"All property rights in the term
belong to the association and its
control rests in the Board of Di-
rectors of the association. The
right of the national association to
own and control the term realtor is
trade right based on the fact that

A court-martial trial for Admiral
Kimmel will be without precedent In
United States history, Q Navy
spokesman said yesterday.
A number Of high officers have
been tried in similar courts, he said.
but there is no record of a feet COM
mander ever having been brought
before a court martial.
Navy annals do yield one case,
however, in which an officer with a
title even higher than that OF Ad-
miral Kimmel was subjected to a
court martial and convicted. This
was the case of Esek Hopkins, COM
mander-in-chief Of the Navy when
it was composed Of eight vessels
ard before the Colonies became q
Nation.
Ordered TO Attack British.
Hopkins was ordered to take his
new fleet and 60 first to attack the
British in Chesapeake Bay and then,
If successful, to repeat with another
attack on the British of the Caro-
linas. He was to follow this with
a raid on Rhode Island where he
specifically was to attack, take and
destroy all the enemy forces you
may find there"
He may have seen the futility of
his oversize assignment, for he ig-
nored Chesapeake Bay and the
Carolinas. and went instead to Mas
sau. There he captured the Cover
nor and Lieutenant Governor, and
was on his way back to New England
when he was attacked by the Brit
ish, but not captured. But for hav-

received and weighed in much the
same manner as in a civilian trial.
Officials declined to speculate
what sentence was possible for con-
viction on the charge Of dereliction
Of duty.
In the celebrated characterization
case Of Brig. Gen. William Mitchell
of the Air Corps. a military courts
sentence Of suspension from COM
mand and loss of pay for five years
was commuted by President Cool
idge to loss Of half pay.
The Mitchell trial was the best
known in the military service in re-
cent years. Following the First
World War numerous courts-martial
cases were tried stemming from the
conflict. but few involved officers OF
high rank.
Rear Admiral Kimmel. at the time
Of Pearl Harbor. a full admiral in
charge of the United States Fleet
as well as the Pacific Fleet, and
Maj. Gen. Short, then lieutenant
general, in charge Of the Hawaiian
department of the Army. were re-
neved of their commands Decem-
Der II, soon after a preliminary re-
port on Pearl Harbor was filed by
Secretary Knox.
Non-Co-operation Shown.
The commission headed by Justice
Roberts later filed its report which
criticized the two commanding Of
ficers for refusing to take seriously
warnings from Washington of the
imminence Of an attack, and also
disclosed an almost complete lack
OF cooperation between the Naval
and Army forces on the Island. The
report said "it was a dereliction of
duty on the part of each Of them
not to consult and confer with the
other respecting the meaning and
intent OF the warnings and the ap-
propriate measures of defense re-
quired by the imminence Of hos
tilities."
In the conclusions of the Roberts
report were these words:
THE Japanese attack was a COM
plete surprise to the commanders.
and they failed to make suitable dis
positions to meet such an attack.
Each failed properly to evaluate the
seriousness Of the situation. These
errors of judgment were the effec-
tive causes for the success Of the
attack"
Following the publication Of the
Roberts report, there were many
calls from Capitol Hill for court
martial trials for the two command
ing officers.
