House Okays lS% Interest Rate for Small Bank Loans

Representatives yesterday ap- proved a bill which would per- init an increase in the maximum interest rate on bank loans of $1,0OO or less from 8 per cent to Is per cent year.
 The measure now goes to the Senate for reconsideration.
 The bill was approved on re- consideration late yesterday after its chief proponent, Rep. John S.. Hellenthal, told the House the present law is forcing the public into the hands of loan sharks"
 The measure was approved on a 25-15 vote of reconsideration.
 The bill had failed during a morning session for lack of a ma jority of House membership, all though the vote then favored the bill, 1917.
 Four House members who were absent at the first roll call were present when the next vote was taken.
 The bill passed after adoption of an amendment to make the maximum inter Alaska bank loans 11s per cent a month, IS per cent for 12 months. That was just half of the interest rate pro- posed originally in the bill.
 Opponents of the bill main aimed it would hurt the consumer, who buys household appliances on time. But Hellenthal said the new rate would be only permis- sive and that bankers can be ex- pected to charge rates well below the maximum, except on bad risks.
 Rep. Robert Blodgett called the bill ian attempt by bankers to muscle in on the loan sharks"
 Rep. Russ Meekins said it means "the guy who borrows the small est amount of money pays through the nose"
 Rep. Richard Greuel told Hel- lenthal "the proper way to put loan sharks out of business is to pass a law to that effect" He called the measure "a tight money bill' and said he was shocked Democratic members are joining Republicans in supporting it."
 Rep. Robert Giersdorf, called the bill "the worst piece of legis- lation I've seen." Hellenthal asked in reply why Giersdorf signed the Judicary Committee report endorsing the bill.
 Giersdorf said arguments in the floor debate caused him to change his mind.
 The House approved and sent to the Senate earlier bill lower ing the maximum interest rate which small loan companies may charge. The interest on loans of less than $500 would be scaled down from per cent of the un- paid balance, to per cent.

agency. The high price Of land
in the District also has made
it very difficult for the author
ity to construct new dwellings
under the federal limitation.
Proposed Powers
DR.. Fisher said the local au-
thority should be empowered
to:
l. Subsidize repairs and i'm
provements made by the own
.ers of rundown homes, and
if the risk of loss is too great
for private contractors - take
the contract itself and use its
own construction crews to do
the job.
2. Make the home improve
ment loan itself, if the owner
cannot get private financing,
and consolidate it with any
existing mortgage on the house
3. Give financial aid to land
lords whose property needs re-
Mobilization. The mortgage con-
tract would limit the rent which
may be charged and would re-
quire proper maintenance OF
the property.

Mr.. Mason, who commits
stoned DR.. Fisher to make the
study last September, did not
indorse the recommendations
but made them public with a
foreword which called the res
port penetrating and thought
provoking.
DR.. Fisher recommended that
local housing agencies be au-

a pool of dwellings, of various
sizes and ages. by acquiring
existing homes and apartments
in urban renewal areas. These
would be let to low income

Andes Floods
Take Is Lives

LIMA, Peru, Feb. 6 (AP).-
The death Of 16 persons from
flood waters from Lake Titicaca
high in the Andes was re-
ported in delayed dispatches
here today.
The flood washed away the
adobe homes of some $500
persons. They lost more than
1000 head of cattle. The
stricken region is in Azangaro
province in the department OF
Puno.
Unofficial sources in Lima
estimated that more than 90
600 persons might be affected.
Heavy rains caused Lake
Titicaca to overflow the plains
and torrents gushed down the
mountains surrounding tn e
lake.
Three years ago the area was
afflicted with such severe
drought that food had to be
sent in to save the population.

U. 5. Is Urged
|. To Overhaul
Housing Units
BY the Associated Press

Some striking new proposals
to substitute low-income hous-
ing and wipe out slums were
advanced yesterday in a
Government-sponsored study.
The report was prepared al
the request of Housing Ad-
ministrator Norman P. Mason
by DR.. Ernest H. Fisher
Columbia University housing
economist.
DR.. Fisher recommended q
sweeping overhaul of Federal
housing agencies.
The recommendations would
reduce Federal control over
local housing authorities. These
Federal-aided agencies could
become landlords, mortgage
lenders and home improvement
contractors in cases where
private builders could not
afford to take the jobs.
Single Agency Asked
The plan would consolidate
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency and its five related but
independent branches into q

Another public responsibility

Of upgrading some Of the fam
lilies who live in dangerous and
substandard housing.
DR.. Fisher said local housing
agencies should recruit and
train staff people who have a
sympathetic attitude toward
the families whose housing
circumstances they control. and

tunes and perversities."

Lost Metal Bust of Lincoln
Goes on Exhibit Thursday
BY JOHN W. STEPP
Star stan Writer

A 10-inch metal bust Of Abra-
ham Lincoln-the plaster orig
inal Of which was probably
finished around the time of the
Presidents assassination-has
come to light here.
So far as Government experts
most familiar with the Civil
War period have been able to
determine, it is the only exist
ing cast Of the sculpture.
Lincoln authorities will place
1t on public exhibit Thursday
in the Willard Hotel.
The annual dinner Of the
Lincoln Group of Washington,
being Joined this year by the
Lincoln SeSquicentennial Com
mission which is bowling out Of
existence, will be held Thurs
day at the willard.
Gift From Neighbor
The infinitely detailed bust
is owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
ert F. (Cy) Perkins of 1852
Eastern avenue NV. 1t was
given Mr.. Perkins, a veteran
photographer for The Star, by
a widow who lived next door
to the couple IS years ago. He
has no idea how it came to
that family.
"All I know is that it was
sitting around scratching up
the top Of our tables for years
before I got around to having
1t mounted on a wood pedes-
tal," Mr.. Perkins says.
With all the public mention
Of Lincoln during the past
year-the 150th anniversary of
the 18th Presidents birth-he
thought that out of curiosity
he would show it to some ex-
perts.
He showed it to Miss Jose
phine Cobb, a Civil War spe-
cialist with the National Ar
chives. who found that the
sculptor, Joseph Alexis Bailly
OF Philadelphia, was given a
Federal fine arts patent on the
work on June Is. 1865. On the
patent application filed the pre-
ceding May 10 appears a pho
tograph of the sculpture of a
Lincoln bust identical to Mr..
Perkins metal cast. Standing
beside the bust is a full-length
statue of Lincoln, with facial
features apparently the same.
Signature Is Same
Both figures in the photog-
raph are apparently made Of
plaster. On the base of the full
length job appears the sculp-
tors styled signature,
"JABailly," with a dot under
the "a" This signature is
identical to that which ap-
pears on the back of Mr..
Perkins metal cast.
Where the plaster originals
of the bust and statuette are
coated nobody knows.
Whether any other cast of the
bust exists, or whether any was

ever made Of the statuette, no.
body knows.
Another unknown, despite
Miss Cobb's digging. is whether
the artist did his sculpting
from life-which is doubtful
or from photographs and
sketches.
In fact not a whole lot is
known Of the artist himself,
except that he was born IN
Paris in 1925 and died in 1883

Storing Spray Equipment :

Storing Spray Equipment
Spray equipment cost mon
ey so you had better take
good care of it. Before stor-
ing for the winter dismantle
your spray equipment, clean
out all hoses, tips, strain
ers, tank and etc. Wash
thoroughly all parts including
your pump with water and a
good strong detergent. Make
sure no oil or grease is left
on any rubber parts. Wash
your tank thoroughly with wa
ter and detergent and drain
completely before putting up
for the winter. All tips and
strainers should be washed
in gasoline and stored for use
next year.

fields until the moisture con-
tent Is lower causes more
field losses from insects, rats

Sbelled corn should be har-
vested at higher moisture
content - 20 per cent to %

ency. Drying is necessary for
safe storage when harvested

White Clover Areas -
White clover cannot come

Bermuda, Dallas, carpet and
