The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
fsa,or Robert 9. Allen ON active duty.)

WASHINGTON-One lobby you
don't hear much about, but which
is among the most effective in
washington, is the title companies
lobby. With the help of the in
surance and bank Hobbies, it has
held up millions of dollars sup
posed to be paid to people thrown
out of their homes when the Gov
eminent took over land for Army
and Navy camps.
The Government cannot yet pay
many of them under the old, SLOW
moving system of clearing titles TO
property. For more than year,
the Justice Department has tried
to change this system, but the title
lawyers and title companies object.
They receive nice, juicy fees for
clearing titles, and they don't want
new legislation which would take
away those fees-even in wartime.
Result is that, in many cases,
people who were moved off their
land months ago to make way for
Army and Navy camps still are
unpaid. 1t is one of the great and
little known tragedies of the war.
In a total of 10000 tracts OF
land taken by the Army and Navy,
about one-half or around 10000
still are involved in pending con-
demnation cases. These cannot be
unsnarled under the old-fashioned
system of clearing titles.
The Justice Department estimates
that approximately 100000 people,
equal to a city about the size of
Portland, Oregon, are completely
homeless yet still unpaid by the
Government, as result of the
lobby's tactics.

Secretary Stimson Makes
Announ(ement-Several
Army Camps Closed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Under
present plans two-thirds Of Am
erica's steadily growing army will
be at overseas stations at the end
of the year.
This word came from Secretary
of War Henry l.. Stimson as he
announced plans for closing num-
Der of domestic army camps in the
next few months and transfer to
combat units substantial proper
ton of the soldiers now assigned to
administrative duties overseas. The
program will double the forces
abroad by the end of 1914.
In addition number of officers
over 80, particularly those COM
missioned directly from civil life,
from the National Guard and from
the Reserve Corps, will be placed
on the inactive list because mo
suitable assignments are available
or in prospect either at domestic or
overseas installations or establish
ments.
THE readjustment is dictated geh-
orally by a progressive shift in
army operations from the defensive
to the offensive and by the growth
of air power" said Stimson.
The Army Air Forces already
have relinquished SO or more estab-
lishments. and the ground forces
have begun to close some training
camps and other facilities including
Camp Atterbury, Indiana; Pine
Camp, New York, and the induction
center at Fort Hayes, Ohio.

STEPS IN CUMBERSOME
PROCEDURE

Here is what happens when the
Government takes over large land
area. The first step is to appraise
a farmers or home-owners prop
erty This is easy, and the Govern
ment has been more than generous
in these appraisals, especially to
small landowners.
Second step is to clear title to
the land. This is the difficult part.
Under the present law, the Govern
ment cannot pay until the title goes
through the cumbersome routine
employed by the title companies.
For one thing. the companies do
not have sufficient men to do the
job quickly. 1t is like asking the
corner grocery stores to feed the
Army.
Also the Government, under the
present law, is required to spend
millions of dollars for getting these
abstracts from title companies.
When the abstracts do finally come
in. Justice Department officials say
they are frequently imperfect or
full of exceptions. For instance.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Jan. 81
Last nights session at the Terri
torial Democratic Convention GEN.
tered around debate on the adop-
ton of an amendment to the DEM
ocratic organization plan which
would provide that relative division
al representation at future conven-
lions be based in proportion to the
Democrat polling the highest vote
in each division in the previous
general election.
Each division would have mini
mum of is delegates and an addi-
tional one for each $50 votes over
1000, naturally favoring the more
heavily populated First and Fourth
Divisions.
Those in favor of the amend
ment argued that this representa-
ton would be based on the popu-
lation-the basic American princi-
pie.
Charlie Miller of the First Divi-
sion, however, holding 10 votes by
proxy, voted against the amend
ment and it was defeated 40 to 38.
Walter Sharpe and Curtis Shat
tuck in favor.
Howard Lying of Nome, holding
three proxies from the First Divi-
sion, voted against the move, while
the Fourth Division was unani-
in favor of it. Harvey Smith
of Anchorage led the fight against
the move with most of the Third
Division votes behind him.
Attorney General Henry Roden
the delegates by wire that
he is contemplating filing for Del
egate to Congress.
Auditor Frank A. Boyle announc-
ed intention of filing to succeed
himself in that office.
Karl Drager of Anchorage an
nounced intention of filing for At
torney General.
Meanwhile, Luther Hess of the
Fourth Division stated ON the floor
that his committeeman unanimously
favored the representation amend
ment in committee and then voted
against it on the floor. His an
nouncement of this doublecross
was not challenged.
