In cases where capture appears
likely the guerrillas hide their
weapons, change into civilian
clothes and suddenly become
ordinary farmers" There are
methods Of detecting these
changes, but for security reasons
they cannot be disclosed.
Ambush Conveys.
So far. the guerrillas have sue
ceeded in tying UP certain num-
Der of American and other u. N
troops. They have ambushed con-
voys on the supply routes. They
are a threat, American intelligence
says, particularly as they shift the
center Of their efforts farther
north toward the real battle front.
They have been trying to induct
and train recruits.
How much success they have
had Is problematical, intelligence
said.
In most instances, information
about the whereabouts of the guer-
rillas and often about their plans
for attack come from North Ko-
rean civilians.
Anti-guerrilla forces are being
organized and trained by the U. N.
50 that the South Koreans them
selves can deal with the problem.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-Gen. Hoyt

461 loans were delinquent when
1.300,032 loans were in force.
Thus, while the number of
loans was rising by less than SO
per cent, the number of delin-
quencies was increasing by over
$50 per cent.
In the District alone, in spite
of a steady increase since 1916,
foreclosures today are at an in
dicated yearly rate less than an
eighth as high as in the peak
depression year of 1888. In that
year. 1853 Washington area
families lost their homes
through foreclosure.
AS for the number of loans
reported delinquent by the
Washington regional Office of the
Veterans Administration, here
are the figures: 143 in 1947; a
total of 348 in 1913; a total of
488 in 1949. and 429 for the
first seven months of this year.
The aggregate number of
families who are losing their
homes through inability to meet
mortgage payments is consider
ably greater than foreclosure
figures would indicate, observ-
ers point out.
Many persons unable to meet
mortgage payments are able to
sell today at a figure permitting
them to avoid losing money and
often to make a profit.
This, of course, is owing to

New houses designed in the

war levels" according to the
Federal Savings g. Loan In
surance Corp. a Government
agency.
The total number Of fore
closures in the first quarter of
this ear-5,523-is lower than
the number for any one month
of the first quarter of 1910, for
example, the agency said.
Likewise, this years entire
first quarter total represents
less than a third of the number
of foreclosures in any month in
the first quarter of 1885.
Thus. the number of outright
foreclosures is not high, rela-
lively speaking.
Part of the increase in the
number of delinquencies and
foreclosures, of course. is due to
the great increase in the amount
of mortgage debt assumed by
home buyers since the war
ended. The greater the number
of mortgages. the greater the
volume of delinquency and fore
closure.
But allowing for this. the ra-
ito of delinquency and fore
closure has admittedly increased
appreciably in the last few
years.
Example Cited.
For example, the number of
FHA delinquent loans in 1916
totaled 4,443 at a time when

lies are having to sell to avoid
foreclosure.
1t is true that the foreclos-
IRE rate is still far below the
prewar point. But it has been
on the way up for several years.
and there is no indication that
tine trend is changing.
49% Jump in Quarter.
Real estate foreclosures in
creased, for example, by 49 per
cent in the first quarter of this
year over those in the first
quarter of 1949. according to
figures made available by the
Home Loan Bank Board.
AS for delinquent home loans,
they also are on the upsWing,
though the overall percentage is
harder to measure.
The Federal Housing Admin
tstration reported. for example,
that its delinquent home loans
for the first six months of this
year alone stood at 1927, in
contrast to 4,443 delinquent
loans for the entire 1947 period.

graphic.

was an increase of about 10
per cent in a year over the
1864 reported delinquent by
the end of June, 1949.
The VA loans remaining de-
1inquent at the end of June
this year totaled 35.353-a jump
of about 40 per cent above the
24.732 remaining delinquent at
the end of June, last year.
Steady Rise in District.
In the District itself, the
number of foreclosures has
steadily risen since 1916, though
the number is still not great.
according to Washington Real
Estate Board records.
Likewise, the number of de-
linauent VA home loans has
risen sharply in the District
area.
The foreclosure total in the
District only Tor the f1rSt SIX
months of this year is at a
yearly rate more than 400 per
cent higher than in 1916.
The number of CT homes in
the Washington Metropolitan
area reported delinquent al
ready this year exceeds the
number reported delinquent
throughout 1948. Comparable
FILA figures on loan delinquency
for the District area are not
available. Both FILA and VA
