B—4 %% ATTACKS ON LAND BANK HELD UNJUST Acting Secretary Ballantine Replies to Charges of Steagal. In reply to charges by Representa- tive Steagall of Alabama that the ad- ministration of the Federal Land Bank law had been marked by wholesale fore- closures of hundreds of thousands of families, Acting Secretary of the Treas- ury Ballantine issued a statement last | night declaring the land banks had | with delinquent borrowers with the ut- | mast_consideration.” | Calling attention to the statement by Representative Steagall, issued through the Democratic National Committee, Mr. Ballentine said: “The Secretary of | the Treasury, as chairman of the Fed- eral Farm Loan Board, is constantly advised as to_the operations of the Federal Land Banks. There has been | no such policy of foreclosure. On thc‘ contrary, the Federal Land Banks have | “dealt with delinquent borrowers with the utmost consideration.” Hoover's Recommendation. “The $125.000,000 of additional cap- ital provided for by the act passed at the last session of Congress as a result of the recommendation of the Presi-| dealt with delinquent borrowers with | Land Banks with all promptness and | has been utilized both to provide for | extensions and for new loans. | “Reports from the 12 banks show | that as of August 31 existing exten- | sions to borrowers numbered 57.637 Foreclosures pending as of that date totaled 4.728, which was but 3 per cent of the total number of delinquent loans. including extended loans. Many of the | farms now being foreclosed have been | abandoned, leaving the bank no choice but to acquire title “A mafjority of the directors of each Federal Land Bank is named by the borrowers, or representatives of the borrowers. Reflecting the attitude of their directors, as well as of the Farm Loan Board, it has been the policy of the banks to extend or defer action in the case of all delinquent borrowers who desire to remain on their farms and have any chance of working out their problems with the help of addi- tional time. Contrary to Fact. “Representation that additional cap- ital for the Federal Land Banks was provided for over the opposition of the President is contrary to the fact. Ad- ditional capital for the Federal Land | Banks was initiated as part of the President’s non-partisan program de- | veloped in October of last year and urged by him upon Congress at the opening of the last session. In sign- ing the bill making this provision, the | President stated that it was expected | the measure would “above all, bring relief and hope to many borrowers from | the banks who have done their honest best, but because of circumstances be- yond their contro! have been unable to make the grade.” ‘ Seek Funds for Camp. | HYATTSVILLE, Md, October 3 (Special). —A drive for funds for a Summer camp has been launched by the various troops making up Girl Scout district No. 7, which embraces uppe Prince Georges County and nearby ter- Titory WoODWARD & LLOTHROP Judges Orators UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL TO BE ARBITER.

ONCE WEALTHY MUSICIAN DRIVEN TO BREAD LINE Virtuoso of Violin, Fortune of Half Million Lost, Now Unable to Pay Rent. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 3.—It's bright lights to bread lines for Joseph Pokorny —the old, old tale of Broadway. Only a few years ago, Broadway knew Pokorny as a music master, virtuoso of the violin, collector of rare musical instruments. His fortune was half a million. “Canned” music took its toll. Music masters were in little demand. Hard times crushed out securities valuss. Today Pokorny is penniless, his an- tique instruments and costly art fur- nishings sold months ago for food, his wife a paralytic. An appeal to charity organizations saved the Pokornys from one eviction. But the rent is due again ang the family faces eviction next Sat- urday.

By the Assoclated Press. AUSTIN, Tex., October 3.—Attorneys for Mrs. Mirlam A. (Ma) Ferguson, Democratic gubernatarial nominee of ‘Texas, have answered Gov. Ross 8. Ster- ling’s charge of fraud in the run-off primary by counter allegations that more than 20,000 illegal votes were cast for Sterling. Also in the answer filed for Mrs. Ferguson are charges that more than $500,000 were spent in Sterling’s cam- paign for Democratic renomination, in violation of an act limiting such ex- penses to $10,000. The Governor seeks to restrain State officials from causing Mrs. Ferguson's name to be placed on the ballot, alleg- ing illegal votes aided her in obtaining a majority of approximately 4,000 votes in the run-off primary. Mrs. Fergu- son was declared nominated at the State Democratic convention Septem- ber 13. The answer also attacked the juris- diction of the 126th District Court, in which Sterling’s suit was filed; asserted that the case was moot and that it! would be impracticable to try it, and claimed that Sterling did not have ade- quate interest and there was a mis- joinder of causes of action. On the contention the court lacked jurisdiction, the answer asked dismis- sal of Sterling's suit. Dismissal was also sought on the ground that St ling’s suit was not filed within the p scribed five days after the Democratic State convention. e AFRICA GREETS EMANUEL Italian King’s Visit to Eritrea Is First of His Reign.
