Atchison. At the expiration of the term of
James K Polk at noon on Sunday, March 4,
1849. the newly elected President, Zachary
Taylor, an extremely religious man, refused to
take the oath until the following day. It Is
claimed (and widely disputed) that Atchison,
as temporary head of the Senate, automati-
cally took the helm.
Now an Illinois reader carries the story a
step further. His information is that Atchi-
sons duties during the last week of the Polk
administration were hectic, that he was goggy
from lack of sleep when Saturday, March 8
rolled around. So he went to bed Saturday
night, telling his landlady not to awaken him
for any reason. He slept all day Sunday and
didn't awaken again until sometime Monday,
March S.

says, "Atchison is then the only President of

BERMUDA, Dec. "A petting
and nuzzling act put on by Brit
ish Prime Minister Churchill and
a 10-year-old royal" billy goat
has stolen the show at the Big
Three conference preliminaries
here. The gilt-horned, long
haired white goat is the we'll
trained mascot of the crack
Royal Welsh Fusiliers detach-
ment, brought here from Ja-
maica to guard and do military
honors for the Big Three.
The Churchill-goat act is a
three-day run, which wound up
today when the Prime Minister,
the Fusiliers and their billy"
along with some supporting play
ers like British Foreign Secretary
Eden and French Premier Laniel,
greeted President Eisenhower on
his arrival from Washington.
The conference itself was ex-
pected to get going late today.
Crowd Gets Thrill.
Mr.. Churchill spotted the goat
a few minutes after he landed
here Wednesday and wasted no
time teaming up with it. He
gave the welcoming crowd at
Kindley Field big thrill as he
stopped to pet it in the midst
of an otherwise very formal
full-dress military honorS cere-
mony.
With a twinkle in his eye, the
spry-for- -hiS-years 79-year-old
British leader put on an even
better act with the goat as he
waited for the plane bringing
Mr.. Laniel yesterday. AS Billy
stood at attention beside a goat
major" at the head of the snappy
FusilierS, lined up for inspection
by the French Premier. Mr..
Churchill walked over and pat
ted his head. The goat nuzzled
his leg. Mr.. Churchill kept on
patting him as he talked with
the goat major" Then the
Prime Minister strobe briskly
back to lead Mr. Eden over to
join the goat-petting act.
Mr.. Eden complied with no
obvious reluctance. But later.
after Mr.. Laniel landed. Mr..
Churchill was unable to lure the
French Premier to the goat.
The Royal Fusiliers think so
much of their mascot that. they
put out press release telling
about how a goat has been their
regiment pet since long before
the American Revolution. There
is a record of the regimental
goat of the time going into ac-
tion at Bunker Hill.
Brisk Tale of a Goat.
This tale is told of that caper:
1T happened in IT'S in Bos-
ton when the goat was being
ridden by a drummer boy around
the officers dinner table that
the animal gave such a spring
up from the floor that he
dropped his rider upon the table
and then, bounding over the
heads of some officers, he ran
away to the barracks with all his
trappings. to the no small joy of
the garrison"

people who are competing to
obtaining home loans make it
easy for the lenders to obtain
rates of interest in excess Of
the CT and FILA rates. So
many lenders favor conven-

rather than at the CT rate of
4 per cent or the FILA rates
of 4 and AZ per cent.
Some people say that what
has tended to turn lenders

When even the experts differ
so sharply on this and that.
perhaps the mere observer
deserves to be heard.
Among observers are those
who will tell you that, in con-
tradiction to all you hear
about the shortage of mort
gage money" there really is no
shortage of mortgage money
at all.
This is a startling concept,
but the records will bear them
out with ease.
In fact. instead of a Short
age. these observers will tell
you more money is being
poured into mortgage financ-
ing today than ever before.
For the last 10 or more years
mortgage money has become
more and more plentiful. and
savings also have steadily and
Spectacularly increased.

Board figures show about $17.8
billion went into mortgage
loans in 1852, in contrast to
$16.4 billion in 1851, $16.2 bill
lion in 1850, and $11.8 billion
in 1949.
Meanwhile, savings - the

continue to increase. The
boards figures show a steady
rise in individuals long-term
savings from $136 billion in
1915 to $189 billion as of the
latest month for which they
have been compiled to date.
Yet the woods are full Of
people who almost make a pro-
fession of talking about the
shortage of mortgage money"
AS a result, there are quite a
few observers who are begin
ming to insist that the whole
interest-rate question is be-
ing needlesSly confused by
statements and actions of those
who seek to have the Govern
ment allow a rise in the rate
on Government-inSured and
Government-guaranteed home
mortgages. These people want
a boost in the CT and FILA in
terest rates and, if that is ac-
Complished, probably a rise in
the interest rate on conven-
tionally-financed homes.
Perhaps all this is justifiable,
say some observers, but it is not
justif1able on the basis that
mortgage money is scarce.
