Buyers Of Homes Warned
On Excessive Mortuaues

Home buying can lead only to
disaster for purchasers who take on
excessive mortgages in financing the
deals, James A. Hewitt, district di-
rector of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration. warned yesterday.
Some buyers are yielding to cir
cumstances which force their financ-
ing on a multiple and short-term
mortgage basis, he said. Mr.. Hewitt
declared multiple mortgages were
found unsound years ago and are
just as unsound today, when there
Is general tendency toward the
generalization of existing dwell
ings."
Buyers should exercise caution
before committing themselves to the
purchase OF home at q price which
precludes its purchase on the tested
terms of the HA-insured mort
gage" he said.
Mr.. Hewitt declared that exces-
siye valuations lead to overburden-
ing family budgets, to foreclosures
and to loss of homes.

The Meaning Of Failure

Jewish Foster Home would not be
able to give people help In over
coming family or financial problems
that could lead to maladjustment,
because under a reduced budget 1t
could not maintain a trained staff
|of social workers. Emergency relief
given to those who need It while
their problems are being worked out
already Is on sub-standard level,
Manuel Kaufman, director, said.
II the funds were reduced still fur
ther, especially with the rising cost
Iof living, this standard would be
driven still lower, he added. II the
problems brought to this agency
cannot be met at once. the homes
wrecked and the delinquency which
results would be felt by the whole
community.
Instructive Visiting Nurse Asso-
ciati0n Of Arlington County would
have to curtail the amount of
nursing care and instruction it could
give to needy families. A reduction
In funds would mean fewer nurses
and fewer calls that could be an
swered. Mrs. Lillian Cary. director,
said. The staff Of the association
can be called by any family in the
county for part-time bedside nursing
service or the teaching of santa
ton and hygiene. If there is not
enough money to provide an ade-
ouate staff OF nurses some of these
families will have to be told, I'VE
can't help YOU"
Public Health Lay Council Of
Montg gomery County would have to
cut down on the amount Of equip
ment furnished to clinics in the
county operated by the Public
Health Department. A volunteer
organization, the council operates
two automobiles with drivers to take
persons to the clinics for treatment
and works with the County Health
Department in school health exam
nations. The volunteer work would
continue even If the budget had to
be reduced, but the council would
be unable to continue buying equip
ment for the clinics according to
Mrs. Madge H. Longley. president Of
the council.

ti0n Service. child guidance clinic,

they can have a chance to grow
into useful citizens, the service is
concerned with behavior problems

SecreeyLid CIamped
On Inquiry Findings
In Sylvester Removal

The War Department has
clamped a lid on findings of an
Army court of inquiry convened at
the request of Col. Lindsay Med.
Sylvester to pass on reasons for his
removal from command of the 7th
Armored Division and demotion from
temporary rank Of major general.
The court Of five officers headed
by 1t. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer,
commander Of the End Army area,
rendered a confidential report and
conclusions a few days ago. No an
nouncement was made at the time
and spokesman said there would
be no announcement until the rec
ord has been reviewed by Secretary
Patterson.
Seeks to Clear Record.
Col. Sylvester, native Virginian
well known in Washington, was the
first deposed division commander of
this war to obtain such a hearing
In a determined fight to clear his
record OF the only mark against it
In nearly 30 years of active service.
His COUNSEL Brig. Gen. Samuel T.
Ansel, retired former Judge Advo-
cate General of the Army, said he
had not been advised of the nature
of the courts findings up to yester-
day. +
The secrecy attached to the find
ings, however. is in accordance with
general practice in such cases, 1t was
said. In this case, particularly, the
record contains great deal of re-
stricted data bearing on military
maneuvers and reports of top-rank-
ing Army commanders.
Col. Silvester's division had spear
headed the Sd Army drive through
Normandy but, like other American
divisions that followed, was halted
before Metz. Later, in Holland, the
division served with the British
forces under Field Marshal Mont
gomery and was credited by his
headquarters with standing firmly
against the Little Ardennes" Often
sive launched by the. Germans in
their drive toward Antwerp.
Friction With Superior Claimed.
Gen. Sylvester was relieved from
his command by Gen. Omar N Brad
ley, 18th Army Group commander
He contended during his own testi-
mony that his troubles arose from
friction over long period with 1t.
Gen. Walton Walker, his corps COM
mander. Gen. Bradley testified he
had relieved the commander on oral
recommendations of Gen. Walker
and the late Gen. George s. Patton,
jr., who questioned his leadership
capabilities.
Before the hearing ended about
q month ago, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, chief of staff, had been called
as a witness. Confidential COM
munications bearing on the case in
the files of Gen. George C. Mar
shall. wartime chief of staff, were
requested by the court.

Text Of Krug, Small Appeals

The tert OF telegram sent by
Secretary OF the Interior Krug
yesterday to the Gopernors OF all
States.
In the critical coal shortage fac
ing the Nation, I extend to you the
full cooperation of the Federal
Solid Fuels Administration.
Except for the local stocks of coal
now held by consumers, in retail
dealers yards and on commercial
docks, there is available for emer-
gency distribution less than two
days production of bituminous coal.
This critically small emergency
stock makes 1t imperative that you,
by proclamation or other means,
notify the communities Of your
State that these supplies will soon
be exhausted unless the most prE-
dent and drastic rationing is applied
by the communities themselves.
Each community should deter
mine what activities should be given
preference and what curtasled SO
that the health and general welfare
of the community may be best
maintained. The community should
determine whether available coal
stocks should be conserved by dim
outs. closing or restricting amuse-
ment places, closure of schools, cur
tailment Of power for industrial pur-
poses or whether in its opinions coal
stocks available in the community
are SUFFICIENT to justify no action.
I cannot overemphasize the seri-
BUSINESS Of this situation. I suggest
that you ask the governing authori-
ties in the communities of your
State either to act as an emergency
agency or create one or more COM
mittees to SO act. I suggest that
you might then set up for the State
a fuel conservator or a fuel con-
servation committee to whom such
local committees could turn for ad-
wise and help.
Will you advise me whether you
decide to make appointment of a
State fuel conservator or equivalent
official? II SO, please advise his
name, title and address.

campaign has reached only 71.84
per cent OF Its goal Of 81. zoe. 900.
Scheduled to end last Tuesday, 1t
has been extended In an attempt
to meet the quota. To find out what
failure OF the campaign would mean
to the 125 federation agencies, The
Star interviewed the directors OF
the following agencies. Other inter-
views viii appear later.
Washington Institute Of Mental
Hygiene would have to reduce its
skilled staff and hundreds OF per-
sons In this area who need the type
OF medical treatment offered by the
institute would have to be turned
away. The institute was organized
to treat psychiatric problems OF
children and adults, to train pro-
fessional personnel and TO partici-
pate in a community education pro-
gram in the direction Of mental
hygiene. all of which imply better
individual and community living
Now 1t is impossible. because of a
limited staff. to give treatment to
several hundreds Of persons each
year who need 1t. ANY reduction
in the work of the institute would
be a crippling blow to the city for
it probably would take several years
to rebuild the already organized
community service. DR.. Sidney Ber-
man, director, said.
Boys and Girls All Clubs Of
Montgomery County would not be
able to buy needed equipment to
help farm boys and girls acquire
skill in farming, homemaking, and
community leadership. Last year
some OF the money from the Com
munity Chest was used to buy sew
ing machines to enable girls to
learn to make their own clothes.
Some money was used to buy dress
materials and patterns for girls who
could not afford to buy it them
selves. Other funds bought equip
ment for the food project classes
where girls were taught how to get
the most food value from crops
produced on the farms where they
live. The boys clubs used some of
the money to buy pure-bred ami
mails to breed with local farm ami
mails and improve the stock and
other funds were used in projects
to help the boys acquire skill in
farming and To dayelon In fhar, a
clearer vision Of agriculture as a
basic industry. II the funds from
the chest federation are reduced
this year, many Of these activities
will have to be curtailed and the
community viii be the loser. Event
ually 1t will suffer If its young peo-
pie OF today are not taught how
to increase their incomes and i'm
prove their standards of living Sc
they can enjoy rural life.

Tcrt OF an appeal issued to the
public yesterday BY Cipilian Pro-
duction Administrator John d.
Small TOR the conservation OF
coal.
I urged every member OF house
hold which burns gas and electricity
to exercise the greatest economy In
their use, for only with such co-op-
GRAFTON will disastrous discontinue
ance of services in many areas be
avoided. ! urge, too, the conscien-
tious voluntary compliance by busi-
ness establishments with the terms
of the orders CPA issued yesterday
and ask for the assistance Of States
and municipalities in carrying out
these necessary provisions.
The turning of OF one gas burner
or light bulb is little thing in itself,
but II 1t Is done In millions OF homes
and stores and office buildings, the
cumulated saving Is very great in
deed.
The country is faced with a crisis
far more serious than the situation
created by the coal strike last April.
Seasonal need is much higher, while
coal stocks are lower and shortages
which would cause untold hardship
will result from needless consump-
tion Of the principal source OF heat,
light and power in the most heavily
populated States.
Discontinuance of utility services
would have an immediate and dras-
tic effect on the daily life of every
individual. Housewives would have
no electricity or gas with which to
cook and water could not be pumped
to their faucets. Electric and gas
refrigerators would be useless, per-
ishable food could not be preserved
by stores or distributors.
I am sure that the American
public, which supported many dras-
tic conservation measures during
the war, will realize that the
minor Inconvenience of curtailment,
whether voluntary or enforced, is
far preferable to the risk Of Gripping
Snutoffs of gas and electric services
