For some reason which we've nev-
er been able to figure out, spring
seems always to be the open season
for rackets, and this year is no ex-
ception. One of these is the old
paint racket-the stranger who Of
fers new" type of paint with
lot of guarantees" too good to be
true and there's the fellow who
just happens to be working in the
neifhborhood," who will clean out
your spouting and cutters "cheap"
He, too, has a profitable racket. And
the chap who sells shrubbery-you
never saw him before and you won't
see him again when it doesn't grow.
And the high pressure insulation and
siding salesman who will promise
most anything to get your signature
on the dotted line. There's one sure
remedy to squelch all of this talk
know with whom you are dealing
and satisfy yourself Of their 1nteg-
rity and ability to make good their
promises.

By the Associated Press

BY the Associoted Press
BALTIMORE, Aug. ia build
ing corporation and two of its
officers were indicted yesterday by
a Federal grand jury on charges of
defrauding war veterans in the sale
of homes.
The indictments were the first
results Of Federal investigation of
CT housing started in Baltimore last
winter. The Baltimore grand jury,
in parallel inquiry, previously had
indicted 8 companies, q officials
and 5 municipal employees.
Named in the latest indictments
were Chinquapin, Inc, and Theodore
Julio, president, and Frank Julio,
vice president. The firm had been
fined $500 June IA on charges of
violating the city building code as
an aftermath of the Baltimore grand
jury indictments.
The Federal charges against the
company and two officers allege the
sale of houses in excess of ceiling
prices, construction not up to speci-
fications and false statements to
the Office of Temporary Control in
reporting the sales.
Most of the companies and officials
indicted by the Baltimore grand
jury received the same treatment
as Chinquapin, being fined for vio-
lating the building code and freed
on conspiracy to defraud charges.
The investigations started on the
complaints of nearly 1000 Balti-
more veterans Of improper construc-
ton of their homes.

couldn't buy in hungry England:
two hams. He was fined 81 for fail
ing to turn in the food coupons on
his present to his friend, a wealthy
businessman.
II could not find any better
present to give to a millionaire who
does not want money" Mr.. Bough-
ton told the judge. HE Is a big

lot of good turns in his time"
The court told Mr.. Boughton, who
established that he got the hams

was all right for him to accept them
as gift but when he passed them
on he became, legally, food dis
tributor.
