TNnE Washington Lowdown —_—— Rodney Dutcher ; —_—F Mortgage Interests I Spend More Money NRA in Turmoil gp— ganner-Herald Washington : Correspondent WASHINGTON—Mortgage inter ests, chiefly the building and loan poys, will scuttle the new housing program in Congress if they can, They have two reasons: 1, They don’t want new hous jng until they have unloaded the mortgages which piled up on inem during the depression. 9, The government's new plan r mortgage financing means wompetition from interest rates puch lower than they’'ve been charging. 1 The same interests have licked wery real housing effort here gnce 1930, so it may be a ques tion of how badly Roosevelt wants this one to go through. of course the big idea of the renovation - construction program sto get money back into the mortgage market to stimulate construction and production of goods needed for it. Home-building borrowers would save from 10 to 30 per cent through ¢imination of high interest and other charges assessed under the old system of high rates to bor rowers and no security to lenders. Second mortgages, which used to cost from 15 to 26 per cent by the time the home owner paid all the charges, would be eliminated, glong with the old-fashioned gyp pings. New mortgage money should sell for 5 per cent in the east and § per cent in sections where money is scarce and rates are high, the bill's sponsgors believe. The proposed insurance fund to cover risks on the 20-year amor tization loans would make such low rates safe. Only one man gets the thrill of being addressed ag “Chief” by Roosevelt himself. That's Josephus Daniels, ambas sador to Mexico, who has been here lately. When Daniels was secretary of the navy, Roosevelt was an as sistant secretary. For years he called the older man “Chief.” Now he sometimes lapses back into it and Danielg tells, him he has to get over that. Roosevelt hag been advised to spend money even more liberally thaw he already has. The advice came from none other than John Maynard Keynes, outstanding Brit sh economist, who ig in this coun ry quietly looking over the New Dea] and who paid an unostenta tious visit to the White House. Keynes thinks the administra tion's financial polley has been conservative rather than radical. He is enthusiastic over the New Deal, but insistent that it should not hesitate to expend more money, without worrying about the rais- Ing of the necessary cash. That may sound funny, but Keynes is convinced that money s something about which people have many illugions and that we ire far from the limit of the gov fMmment's credit. He spoke enthusiagtically of the tending horne renovation-construc tin bill and reported to Roosevelt that nothing had been more help fl in England’s recovery than ‘nstruction of thousands of new Middle-clags homes, de seyit v 3 ¢ gra ";‘fde remove!w :uld R Naglon‘ he thought,pmgmm’ 'b;; uosslgge'&hubllc workad < Valui it would sprea caus, tountry, NRA isn't quite the madhouse it %3¢ when it started nearly a year 0, but it displays just as much #sential confusion, After the order creating a nine- Man board to pass on codes, repre %nting industry, labor, and con ‘umers, the staffs of the Industrial, Labor anq Consamers’ Advisory Boards became badly demoralized b rumors that they were about to be wiped out.

Cliett will speak on “A truth that we be lieve, yet dislike.” At last night’s service, Rev. Cliett selected as his text the eleventh verse of the first chapter of St. John, “He came to his own and his own receiveth him not.” A summary of his sermon fol lows: The thing that is wrong with the world today is that Christ is crowded out. One of the saddest things that could happen to me would be to go to the parsonage and my wife come to the door and say, I know this ig your parsonage and you are supposed to be here, but T am having such a good time now that wyou just can’t ccme in. You can come in after a while but not now.’ Then I would” go to my home and my mother would come to the door and say ‘Son this is your home and I love you, you know I love you, but we are hav ing such a good time now that you can't come in. Some day lam go ing to let you in’ Christ was not wanted. ¥e was born in Bethle hem in a manger because there was no room in the inn. The gov ernor wanted all the male babies killed. He had a little son about the age of Jesus. He allowed the soldiers to go into his' homse and kill his son so Jesus could be killed because they didn't want him.

K., Says Professor Pope Hill, Prominent Penny Experimenter By GLENN RAM?EY Associated Press Staff Writer The underlying law of fifty- fifty is o.k. That’s what Professor Pope Hill the penny experimenter of the University of Georgia, has found after 100,000 tests. Professor Hill says, however, that he’s been somewhat misrep resented, being called a “penny flipper” when he actually has been drawing pennies from a can, an entirely different process—so he says. 2 Several years ago the professor placed 200 pennies in a can. A hundred of them were dated 1919 and the remainder 1920. They were weighed on chemical balances and paired according to weight. For each 1919 penny of a given weight D. A. R.
