firm commitments on the part
of the lender to close the loan,
The lender may make q ten
tative commitment to the vet
eran. To do this, the lender must
submit a letter to VA from the
veteran acknowledging that the
commitment is tentative and
that it may be withdrawn OF

able to close the loan under con-
ditions contemplated at the time

billion awaited closing by the

The Case ofM: Heferman

Let us consider for few moments couple of recent
criminal before the pleas court in Geauga
Remember the murder trial of Leo Cavey? Mr. CaVey
according to accounts got into an argument and hit
with wrench and killed him. He tried and received
la life sentence in the penitentiary
Now consider the of Louis Joseph Heffernan Mr.
Heffan got drunk at the race track and while driving
out drove his car Deputy Sheriff Howard Scott who
was directing traffic and killed him. Mr. Heffernan will
only spend 60 days in the county jail.
Sentence was actually suspended; he placed on
probation for years and part of his probation was
given 60 days in jail and his drivers license suspended for
80 days.
Probably neither Mr.. Cavey Mr. Heffernan in
tended kill anybody. Neither of them appear to have
any previous criminal record But Mr. Cavey got life and
Mr.. Heffernan will be practically free this spring
What accounts for the wide difference in the penalties
for killing?
Or why, you may ask did Fred Brown get year in
jail for running his automobile into buggy and killing
Amsh boy while Hefernan receives only 60 days for
what seems similar offense?
Maybe the answer lies in part in the judges ruling in
which he said the defendant is ordered to pay the
of twenty-five hundred dollars (s25oooo) within said
period of three (3 years to the widow of Howard Scott
1t would appear that the court acting a free
collection agency 1t would appear that the court did not
have sufficient faith in the of law to obtain
equitable settlement for Mr.. scotts widow.
1t would natural conclusion that if a criminal
sity be at the expense ots efficiency criminal
This be logical inference in the Heffernan
If the court has doubt about the efficiency of law
giving compensation widow then law is wrong and
shoYd be changed.
The of Mr.. Heffernan is not unusual. Similar
treatment often works out in many traffic mansaughter
cases. The unfortunate result has been that the
have become a laughing stock of the community.
After the Christmas and flew Year holidays
the killer of Howard Scott will probably report the county
Jail and spend two quiet months
1t would that courts should consider banning
private settlements connection with the enforcement of
criminal law
