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,

CLIETTS SERVICE
Revival Services to Con

Oconee Street Mefhodistl
A large crowd attended the
opening service of two weeks re
vival at Oconee Street Methodist
church Sunday night and heard an
inspiring semon by Rev. C. C.
Cliett, Reidsville, Ga., and one of
the best known pastors in the
state.
The services are conducted night
ly at_the church and Rev. J. A.
Lang?ord issues a cordial invita
tion to the public to all gervices.
The nightly service starts at 8:16
o'clock and tonight Rev. 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. Christ went back to Jerusa

he loved more thany anyone else
and they rejected him, they oru-

Law of 50-50 Is O. 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
