gested:
Make sure that the house is

ties; that you can afford the
down payment and monthly
terms within. your other budget
requirements.
Be sure that the house is ade-
quate in space and rooms for
your family needs.
Check the location regarding
shopping, schools, churches and
access.
Be satisfied about the design
and construction features.
Deal with a builder or realtor
who is reputable.
In financing the house, be
sure that you use an amortized
mortgage with monthly pay
ments including interest, prin-
cipal, taxes and insurance, such
as provided by bona fide fed.
orally insured savings and loan
associations.
Total current assets of the

years, he said.
Outstanding real estate loans
from our institutions at the end
of 1851 totaled about $500 mil
lion. At the end of 1861, a de-
cade later, they stood at more
than S1.3 billion. This shows
conclusively the part federally
insured savings and loan asso-
Citations have played in the rapid
development of the Washington
metropolitan area" he said.
While small number of I'M
insured, hastily established
groups in Maryland have been
closed or are in receivership,
the d. C. federally insured saw
ings and loan associations have
steadily increased in strength
and safety, he added. Contribu-
lions of the D. c. League insti-
tutions to community growth
and progress through financing
of residential mortgages are I'M
matched by any other single
source, he said.
Kolb pointed out a number Of
factors home purchasers should
bear in mind when considering
buying new home.
Zone industry rule of thumb
is summarized as the right
house, in the right location, at
the right price and terms" he
said. However, this telescopes
number of elements that the
home purchaser should con-
sider."

An ample supply OF mortgage
funds in savings and loan insti-
tutions of the District of Co
lumbia Savings and Loan
League and a wide selection of
types and styles of houses Offer
ed in the Washington area
makes this an especially good
time to buy home, according
to John G. Kolb, president of
the League.
Kolb, who is also president of
the Oriental Building Associa-
ton, said that the present wide
choice of homes, coupled with a
favorable mortgage market,
presents home buyers with high
ly satisfactory market condi-
tons for home purchases at this
time.
Anyone considering buying
a home has everything working
in his favor right now" Kolb
said. There are many kinds of
homes with a good variety of
design to choose from in good
locations, with a wide range of
prices. The mortgage market is
well supplied with funds from
insured savings and loan asso-
Citations. This certainly is the
time to buy"

AFRICAN FASHION WAR
Current Fashion Wave for Leopard
Is Causing Slaughter Of WiIdlife
By JANE DOLINGER

North American Newspaper Alliance
NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov. 10.
Since Jacqueline Kennedy,
Liz Taylor and British roy
atty were shown in the world
press wearing slinky leopard
skin coats, all hell has bro
ken loose on the African
Veldt.
Suddenly, a motley crew Of
daredevil adventurers and
fly-by might hunters have
invaded Nairobi, Kenya.
They are on their way to
the deep African Veldt where
many of them make thou
sands of illegal dollars daily,
slaughtering wildlife by the
hundreds in their mad rush
to fill the demand for leop-
ard, lion, zebra, and other
skins which are currently the
rage among Society's best
dressed women.
The poachers have set up
an almost foolproof method
of bagging their game and
smuggling the hides to wait
ing ships.
The only ones who are
ever caught are ignorant
African bushmen who are en-
ticed to do the dirty work
for Just a tiny fraction Of the
value of their kill. Their de-
fense, and one as old as Afri-
ca itself, is that they are only
doing what comes natural
ly' and native African BUSH
men have, for countless gen.
erations, killed animals not
only for their own protec-
ton, but for food, as well.
Arriving in Nairobi with q
flock of rush orders in their
pockets from furriers in Lon
don, Paris, Rome, New York
and Chicago, the sharp-eyed
white adventurers spend sew
eral days living at q swank
hotel, getting the feel" Of
Africa and learning just
where the British Constabu-
larry has its jungle outpostS.
These are to be avoided at
all costs, because, If nothing
else, the British-trained Con-
stabulary is among the finest
in the world and to outwit
them takes weeks, If not
months, Of study and conniv-
ing.
"Survey Trip"
The African veldt is an
enormous place, stretching
southwark from the sands Of
Ethiopia, down through So
maitland, Uganda, Kenya
and Tanganyika, and extend
ing westward to the impene-
trable jungles Of the Congo.
There are only q handful Of
African game wardens and
their assistants to maintain
law and order in the deer
Evening star., 1962-11-11

the country to Berlin. With
this kind Of money to be
made, even though the haz-
ards are many, it is easy to
see why the African Veldt is
now being inundated by for
tune seekers.
Natives Duped
The African hunters get
only a pittance Of this take,
Of course. For example, ac-
cording to African game war
dens who patrol the vast
Kenya area which is alive
with wild game Of all types,
Africans were trading valu-
able leopard pelts for as
little as q can Of snuff, and
cheaply made British bowler
hats, the latter being q IA
vorite among the Nasal tribe.
These same pelts, in excellent
condition, currently bring
tremendous prices ranging
from $500 to $500 apiece at
fur auctions in Nairobi.
II caught, the native Afri-
cans are generally let off
with an admonition or pos
sibly q light jail sentence.
Police officials and courts Of
law realize that the Africans
are merely dupeS to the white
racketeers. For this reason,
the black market skin traders
face five years in Jail and
$4,000 fine when appre-
hended.
All-Out Effort
At the present time, the
African constabulary, to-
gether with the game war
dens, is expending all its time
and efforts in running down
and arresting the white
Evening star., 1962-11-11

poachers responsible for this
grave travesty and injustice,
not only against the primi-
tive African bushmen, but
against the ruthless slaugh-
ter Of wild animal life in East
Africa.
They are well aware Of the
fact that the army of or
ganized safaris who visit
Africa each year not only to
hunt but to take photo
graphs, bring in millions Of
dollars of revenue. They
know. too, that big game con-
stitutes the largest single at
traction for tourists and visi-
tors that Africa has to offer.
By far the most difficult
part Of the poacher's work is
not in securing the skins and
hides, but in successfully
getting them out of the coun-
try. Some employ the use Of
light planes which make
weekly trips to the villages
from which the poachers op-
crate and carry away the val
liable cargo to a secret port
where tramp freighters are
riding at anchor waiting to
take illegal shipments to all
ports of call.
Other poacherS hire Afri-
can bushmen as porters who
transport the skins along Sc
cret jungle trails northward
to Ethiopia where they are
transferred to camel cara
vans, eventually reaching
world markets.
Aerial Search
While woefully under
stated, the various govern
ments now employ the use Of
planes to search out illegal
poaching parties and when
located, information Is i'm
mediately radioed in to the
nearest outpost. Armed pa
trolls are then sent out to
round up-the culprits.
There are many tricks in
the trade, and the white
poacherS are well acquainted
with all Of them. However, ir
spite Of the ingenious methods
which they employ. they are
continuously being caught
and sent to prison.
But unfortunately, as lone
as society women insist or
keeping up with the Kenne.
dys," the battle between the
poachers and the law will
continue in unabated fury.
Evening star., 1962-11-11

bush where millions Of wild
animals can be found.
Having learned where he
can operate with the least
amount of detection, the
poacher takes off on a sur
vey trip through the Veldt.
Far removed from civiliza-
ton, he visits remote villages,
and gets native African BUSH
men to work for him. Their
pay is small but the poacher,
supplements it with dime
store trinkets.
Each morning before sun
rise, the bushmen disappear
into the deep jungle and go
directly to where they know
the animals can be found.
At days end they return
with the treasured hides,
mostly leopard, cheetah, lions
and zebras.
The poacher spends sew
eral weeks and months liv-
ing in the primitive villages
from which he hires his Afri-
can hunters. He carefully
collects and sorts the skins
as they come in. All bits of
flesh are removed and the
pelts are then sun-cured for
about a week. This method Of
tanning hides is sufficient
until they reach their final
destination where they are
further processed before be-
ing delivered to their ulti-
mate markets.
According to. the testimony
of one white poacher who
came to East Africa from
Germany just a few years
ago, his income averaged
over $4,000 a year from the
hides Of animals which he
surreptitiously shipped out Of
