PRODUCERS Council, national organ

savings and loan associations be
permitted by law to make loans for
modernization and repair. Russell
Creviston, council president, says
"the owner of a mortgaged home
who wishes to borrow few hundred
dollars to purchase a new heating
plant, replace roof, or add room
to his house should be accommo-
dated by the home finance institu-
ton which holds his mortgage. At
the present time many institutions
are not permitted to extend such
additional credit without subjecting
the borrower to the high cost of
ref1nancing the entire loan" As
repairs have been held to a mini

need is growing steadily.

Cathedral Dean Post
After Rites Today
By JAMES WALDO FAwCETT.

BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.
The Very Rev. John Wallace Suter
will be installed today as Dean of
Washington Cathedral. His duties
will include administrative super
vision Of practically all activity at
Mount st. Adams.
DR.. Suter, at press conference
yesterday, outlined his responsible
tiles in the words: II will be execu-
tive head of the work at the Cathe-
dral and chairman of the Building
Committee. Most especially, I am
interested in developing forms of
public worship suited to our modern
age. In the field of liturgics, we
probably will break some new
ground. The Cathedral is going to
be a cutting edge in that regard.
We people of the Goth century must
have our religion expressed in terms
that mean something. The Cathe-
dral must be house Of prayer for
all people. That is my platform.
AS an example of what he has in
mind, the new Dean mentioned q
service to mark the golden jubilee
Of the international YWCA, to. be
held at the Cathedral on November
10. I'VE shall have many such
services" he said.
Looks Toward Building Program.
DR.. Suter told reporters in his
office: Our plans for new construc-
tion work are not yet ready to be
announced, but new program of
building certainly will follow the
end OF the war as promptly as we
can manage"
During the conference, the dean
elect had before him on his desk the
standard copy of the 1928 Book of
Common Prayer of which, by desig-
nation by the presiding bishop and
the consent Of the general conven-
ton, he is the official custodian.
The volume is magnificent Speci-

Lancasters and Halifaxes struck the
industrial section of Cologne last
night two hours after Mosquitoes had
shaken the arsenal on the Rhine

mately 400 planes were lost.
About 300 Liberators and Flying
Fortresses struck a synthetic oil
plant at Gelsen-Kirchen, 100 miles
north of Cologne, and communica-
tlon targets at Hamm and Coblenz
today. More than $50 Thunder
bolts and Mustangs escorted the
heavy bombers.
Cologne caught nearly 10000 tons
OF bombs in four days and eight
raids in u hours.
The Allied air forces plan to
knock Cologne out of the battle for
the northern sector of the Siegfried
Line.

both as an arsenal-it has more
than 80 large priority factories-and
as one of his main traffic centers for
supplying the western 'front.'" the
RAF said today. Troops and arms
could be assembled conveniently in
Cologne and then sent forward to

During the % nights the RAF and
the 20 days the 9Th Air Force were
over Germany in October, Cologne
was bombed 18 times, lending weight
to terse statement from the min
lister of air today:
The aim of the strategic offensive
is to make Cologne more of liabil-
tty than an asset"
American heavy bombers from the
9th Air Force in Britain and the
18th Air Force in italy attacked tar
gets in Germany on all but six days
Of October.
The 9Th, idle only II days, sent
Flying Fortresses and Liberators out
on more than 1880 sorties during
the month and fighters made almost
as many. Total losses were about
200 bombers and 100 fighters against
l74 German planes shot down. The
Raj, which operated on all but two
nights, lost about 100 planes and
destroyed So German craft.
Raj Mosquitoes, attacking yester-
day from low altitude, destroyed the
two buildings of the University of
Aarhus housing Gestapo headquar-
tiers in Denmark, where the Ger
mans have kept documents which
have been the basis for persecution
OF many local Danes.
