Law Asked 10 Protect
House Buyers Against
N-Year Payments
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. Estates
Attorney j. Bernard Wells has
called for a new law to protect
prospective house buyers from
making installment payments for
as long as 10 years.
Mr.. Wells started an investi-
cation of long-term contracts
two months ago, after Judge
Harry S. Kruger discovered in
Housing Court that some buyers
would have to live to be 100 years
before they paid off the principal.
In most instances the sale con-
tracts call for small weekly pay
ments. Most of it goes for in
terest and other charges.
Most Contracts Legal.
Mr.. Wells said yesterday the
contracts now are legal, and
that "the great majority of real
estate sellers who use them" de-
serve no criticism.
However, the use of those con-
tracts in the form now prevalent,
in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
dealers, gives them overwhelming
advantages over unwary and I'M
thinking buyers" said the States
attorney. 1T is against these op-
orators that the law must array
itself"
Mr.. Wells said he will suggest
to the Legislative Council a law
similar to the 1941 act regulating
installment contracts on furni-
ture and other goods. Two provi-
sions of the 1941 law require a
simple, understandable notice to
the buyer of his rights and pro-
vision for criminal penalties.
Law With Teeth" Urged.
I'VE need a law with teeth in
it so we can prosecute" Mr.. Wells
said. "for the purpose of protect
ing the unwary investor from the
Vaccinations of gyp operators"
Many of the contracts contain
clauses providing that prospective
buyers would lose everything they
had paid and become tenants If
they missed a weeks payment.
The payments continue then as
rent.
Several other proposed bills re-
lating to the long-term contracts
already have been presented to
the Legislative. Council.
Mr.. Wells Office Investigated so
cases repeatedly involving fraud.
The States attorney said all of
the transactions are legal under
present laws.

In seeking additional money
commission officials had stressed
that increased funds would bene-
fit Federal employees as well as
the entire Government service.
They declared a strengthened and
better equipped commission would
attain these results.
The Budget Bureau: did not
grant all the money the commits
sion asked for. but a considerable
portion of the estimate was al
lowed.
OF course. Congress will have
the final say in determining the
actual amount the commission
will get for the 1851 fiscal year.
But commission officials believe
half the battle has been won. The
higher the budget request an
agency is allowed to present to
Congress, the higher the final
amount approved by Congress Is
apt to be.
APPEAL RIGHTS A recent
District Court decision upheld the
section of the Federal employees
injury compensation law that de-
MES Government workers the
right to appeal adverse decisions
of the United States Employees
Compensation Appeals Board to
the Federal courts.
An employee whose injury COM
pensation claim was turned down
by the board appealed the case
to District Court here. But the
court ruled it had no jurisdiction
in Federal employe injury cases
Employees in private industry sgen-
orally have the right to court ap-
peal of adverse Workmen's COM
pensation decisions, but Govern
ment workers have been denied
this right.
The issue may be taken to the
United States Court of Appeals
and perhaps ultimately to the
Supreme Court.
TREASURY-The Treasury De-
department has presented special
meritorious" achievement AWARDS
to three of it's employees who are
retiring this month. IT.
They are Ernest w. Galbraith,
chief of Treasury's employment
tax unit section; Miss Della D.
Childress, chief of the depart
ments personnel division CORE
spondence section, and John H..
Robinson, messenger In the In

INTERESTING SION
