Private Capital Cool
To Hole Mortgages,
House Quiz Reveals

Hearings made public yesterday
on the future course of liquidation
of the Home Owners Loan Corp,
disclosed that, with the exception
of one offer from a Washington
building and loan association and
two from Hawaiian banks, private
capital has displayed little interest
in taking over mortgages held by
the Government agency.
John H. Fahey, Federal Home
Loan Bank Commissioner, on Feb
ruary 3 read into the record of a
subcommittee of the House Appro-
priations Committee, holding hear
ings on the independent Offices APP
preparation bill for 1945, an offer
from the Perpetual Building Associ-
alton of Washington to purchase
from the HOLC all mortgages Sc
cured by real estate in the District.
The offer, tentative in nature but
looking to final and binding agree
ment with Hole, was made origi-
nally in May, 1943, by Edward C
Baltz, secretary of Perpetual, to
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia as chairman of the Joint
Committee on Reduction of Nom
essential Federal Expenditures, A
similar letter to John B. Blandford,
jr., National Housing Agency ad-
mlnlstrator apprised Federal hous-
ing authorities of the offer.
Disapproves Offer.
Mr.. Fahey, questioned by Repre-
sentative Dirksen, Republican, o.
Illinois, member of the House sub
committee inquiring into progress
OF the liquidation proceedings, ex-
pressed fiat disapproval of the terms
suggested by the building and loan
association. He particularly OBJ
Jected to the sale of liens on Dis
trict property, because the sound
ness OF loans made here eliminated
all but negligible amount of risk.
Mortgages on District real estate,
he said, were proving profitable to
the Government, enabling the HOLC
to maintain balance offsetting ex-
penses and losses on loans in other
sections of the country.
The Perpetual proposal suggested
sale to 1t of 1,466 accounts in the
District now held by HOLC. The
tentative offered price was the
amount of balances due the Govern
ment agency.
Text of Fahey's Reply.
In a letter replying to Mr. Baltz's
proposal, Mr., Fahey, on July 80, 1943,
wrote:
All the proposals with which I
am familiar, relative to immediate
dissolution of Home Owners Loan
Corp. and the sale of its ass sets, are
advanced on the theory that it will
be an advantage to the Government
and save it large sums of money if
HOLC loans and properties are sold
at once. I am not aware of any pro-
posals (by Congress) that loans of
a particular locality be sold where
there would be no savings in opera
ton, but, on the contrary, very sub
stantial losses to the corporation.
"HOLC loans in the District of
Columbia now make an excellent
showing. 1t is now unnecessary to
maintain a service representative
in the District and if we sold all
these loans in a block, the only
result would be a loss of interest
income with no reduction whatever
in working forces or any appreciable
saving in operating costs"
1T is, therefore, difficult to see
how a plan of liquidation can be
evolved which would be approved
by Congress contemplating the sale

sented the net loss after the Allies
had flung the German forces back.
New Attacks Expected.
The statement made two things
clear:
l. That Nazi Marshal Kesselring
hoped to gain "for Germany a spec
tacular military victory which she
needs so badly" and
2. That, having failed, he now is
massing more power to try again.
The landings just five weeks ago
this morning represented a ter
rifle threat to the communications
of the German 10th Army plus po-
lltlcal potentialities in the danger to
Rome, the spokesman said, and
Marshal Kesselring therefore con-
centrated the German 14th Army
against the beachhead, building it
up to at least 10 divisions by Feb
ruary 20.
Three reinforced infantry regi-
ments were brought from Germany
proper, and an important secondary
result of the landing was a dislo-
cation of German plan to relieve
some of the best Nazi divisions in
Italy, probably for a later strength
ening of the invasion coasts of West
ern Europe.
Attacked on Smile Front.
with this force" said the spokes-
man. 1.-THE Germans attacked us on
la 5-kilometer (3-mile) front along
the Albano-A -Anzio axis with a corps
OF five divisions, one of them ar
morsd. Strong holding attacks also
were being put in by other divisions
on the f1anks, The attack was sup
ported by larger weight of artil-
lery than had been encountered
hitherto in the African and Italian
campaigns.
Repeated "very powerful and
fiercely pressed" assaults by the
Germans were thrown back with
heavy losses, he went on.
Temporarily, at least" he said,
"the enemy has been thrown onto
the defensive and is now regroup-
| ing"
The enemy cannot consider the
situation satisfactory in the circum-
stances"
Allied losses were not listed in the
summary, which was issued to
"assess results of the operation more
closely" Neither did it comment on
the current tactical situation at
Anzio other than to say the Ger
mans were regrouping.
Weather Remains Bad.
Ground action was slowed yes
terday by February winds which
brought rain and snow, and there
was little sign of improvement in
the weather.
Headquarters announced that the
Allied right flank in the Pontine
Marsh area of the beachhead beat
back an ineffective Nazi probing at
tack yesterday and thwarted new
German attempts to infiltrate
through Allied lines southwest of
Carroceto
The bad weather had its good
points, the curtailed air activity
leaving Anzio shipping free of the
Nazi dive bombing danger.
The Casino front remained rela-
lively stationary except for pa
trolling. What few enemy forays
braved the snow f1urries in the
mountain sectors of the Casino
front were flung back.
On the 9th Army front along the
Adriatic Indian troops beat back
three separate night attacks near
Orsogna, while at another point in
this region Allied artillery broke
up an enemy raid The Germans
suffered casualties in patrol clash
between Orsogna and the Adriatic
Coast.

in one city or State of loans which
are yielding a net income to the
corporation. The result would be
that HOLC would be obliged to con-
tinue in existence an expensive Or
ganization to handle its slow loans
in some sections, while lacking the
income from its good loans to meet
its expenses"
Bills are pending in Congress
which, If enacted, would require
hquldatlon of the HOLC by June
30, 1916. but no action has been
taken on them yet.

EXPERIENCE POINTS The WAY

I Our Stote Department and the Ministry Of Eco
nomie Warfare in London agree that the Germans
do not take any Of the $500 tons Of food going
to Greece every month. The operation does not
help the enemy but saves the Greeks. For two
years, ending in the foil Of 1912, we fed 10o, 900
children in France. The Germons never touched
our food.
2 The Germons could not profit indirectly by seizns
more French food, for each child helped was
qured to consume it's full portion Of local food
before being given supplement Of imported food,
so no equivalent was left that the enemy might
seize.
= The Germons did not reduce the rotion cords Of
the children helped These children continued to
have the some rotion cords as the other children.

COURT REvERSES. !. LOCAL DECISION
Alex MittIeman Wins Legal Contest for UnempIOy=
 ment Compensation

A Waterbury worker who was denied unemployment compensation when he refused several months ago to accept a job offered by the U. S. Employment Service today won an appeal judgment from Superior Court Judge Robert l.. Munger, who reversed the unemployment com missioner's decision.
 The plaintiff, Alex Mittlemar, dis agreed with Commissioner Margaret Verdon who said he had made him. self unavailable for work by refuS- ing to accept referrals offered by the USES. He claimed the 65-cent- -an-hour job offered him at an out of-town plant was at wages below the current level and he would face expense and inconvenience in get ting to the place of employment.
 A hearing in the appeal was held last Friday, and Attorney Harry Silverstone of Hartford, who ap- peared for the state commissioner, said at that time he did not agree with all of the commissioners rul- ing. He referred specifically to the portion which stated the worker had filed his claim improperly.
 Attorney Morris L. Robin, who represented the worker, said no in- structions on filing were given by the USES clerk who accepted his application, and it was the fault of the clerk that the petition was not made out properly.
 The worker stated he was entitled to $320 compensation for his period of unemployment. He had secured a promise or a job at an insurance company, but the USES would not permit him to take it, and he re- mained unemployed, it was pointed out.
 No memorandum accompanied the judgment of Judge Munger, who irl- formed the court clerk the judgment file would be submitted later.
 The commissioners decision was handed down June 27, and the ap- peal was taken July 12.

 Lives on Holiday

De spondent over the death of his daughter, Jules Courtot, 41, was found dead in his automobile yes- terday morning in lot behind his West road, Bethlehem home, by Deputy Sheriff Thomas Bate !. of Bethlehem and Troopers Norman Davis and Angelo Buffa of the Litchfield barracks Dr. Howard S.. Allen, medical examiner, said the death was due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
 Born in Belfort, France, on March 15, 1903, MT. Courtot had been a resident of this country for the past 38 years and has lived in Bethlehem since 1929 Besides his wife, survivors include his father, Jules Xavier Courtot; a daughter, Mary Louise; son, James A. and two sisters, Mrs. Georgette Berry and Mrs. Marie Flynn, both of Wa terbury.
 The funeral will be held Satur- day at 1 D. m. from the Munson funeral home, with Rev. J. Keith Moorehead, Morris, officiating. Burial will be in North Carmel hill cemetery. Friends may cali at the funeral home Friday eve- ming.

poisoning, first and second degree burns of the lower extremities and back and fractured clavicle, a re- suit of the fire.
 The inquest into the cause of this death clearly established that Gloves was intoxicated at the time that he retired. The fire unquestion- ably originated in that portion of the den where the waste basket was described by witnesses to have been located. Whether such waste basket which was entirely consumed by flames was fireproofed and wheth- CT it was partially filled with paper prior to the fire, could not be de- termined. Evidence disclosed that Cloves smoked considerably, averag- ing package and a half daily and while in the den was in the habit of flicking ashes from a lighted c1g- arette into the waste basket. There was no evidence. other than his habit, to show that Cloves flicked burning ashes into the waste bas- ket on the evening and morning preceding the fire nor when during that time he last smoked a ciga- rette. The fire was discovered ap- proximately 45 minutes after Cloves, the last known person to retire, had left the den.
 The degree of negligence required for suitability on a charge of man. slaughter under Section 6046 of the General Statutes of Connecticut is not present in this case.
 The evidence was revealed by the inquest, moreover. is too remote and inferential to sustain convic- tion for violation of Section 6130 of the General Statutes, as mended by Section 1694C of the Supplement to the General Statutes, penalizing persons who throw down or drop a lighted match. cigar, cigarette or other burning substance, in con- bustible material or in close prox- imity thereto" It is. therefore. un- necessary to determine whether there might be prosecution for manslaughter for unintentionally causing the death of another, with out malice, in doing some unlawful act prohibited by Statute and not amounting to a felony. as the evil dence does not establish the neces- sary prerequisite, namely, viola ton of Section 16940.
 I find that said death was not caused by the criminal act, omission or carelessness or any other person or persons within the meaning of any criminal statute.
