The Shenandoah area is expected to | pass into the hands of the Federal Gov- lernment some time this month. The State of Virginia has nearly finished ac- quiring the 160,000 acres authorized.

Maps to Emphasize Nature. ‘[ ‘The unitary nature of the system, Mr. | lbright said, will be emphasized in | he maps and guide books prepared by | he National Park Service.

The chief change, | or the present, will be the substitution pf National Parks Service personnel. | he park police will become National Parks rangers, but they will continue T the command of Capt. | 1l but without War Depart- ent supervision. There will be no e in the uniforms and the person- ill not be subject—as some have | eared—to transfer to other national | rks. Frank T. Gartside, who has | en chicf of the parks division of the | fiice of Public Buildings and Public will remain as acting superin- | endent | Under the new arrangement, Mr. Al- | pright said, the status of Rock Creek hnd Potomac Parks will be almost ex- Iy the same as that of any of the at national parks of the West. They | vill benefit by the scientific, historical | pnd architectural services of the Na- | ional Parks Service. Every effort will | e made to arouse interest in the wild | ife and in the historical assocations of he District. The War Department has ot been organized to render this serv- ce. For cxample, there are 20 land- ape architects—each an expert in! ome line—whp are available to the| headquarters of the Na- s Service and whose services an be secured for the local parks. The | fice of Public Buildings and Parks | as had only one. It is expected that | here will be park historians and some- | local history and park aturalists. Nature education will be a | brominent feature of the work. | Fer Separate Supervision. | The public buildings supervision will be separated from that of the parks, vith an assistant director of the Na- ional Parks Service in charge. The hew assistant director will have charge bt practically all Federal buildings in e United States, with the exception of bost_offices, customs houses and Army. |5 i Navy establishments. No change in personnel is contemplated at the battle- field sites, which already have civilian possibility of securing some pub- c works funds for needed improv ents and extensions of the District | parks is still uncertain. It has been | hoped to secure approximately $1.500,- 00 for completion of the Potomac and Rock Creek parkway. Transfer of the arks, Mr. Albright stressed, will bring hem under the control of a permanent taff whose homes and interests are in e District. This is especially the case ith the new director, Arno B. Cam- erer, and his associate, Arthur E. bemaray, who take office Thursday. President Roosevelt, Mr. Albright says, shown great personal interest in the arks, park sites and historical sites jhroughout this whole unified area and lan be expected to support efforts for closer co-ordination and improve- arraugcment brings the k Service into the East “in s one of the youngest 1 bureaus and hitherto its i ¢ been practically un- nown in the East. It has had under s control east of the Mississippi only e Arcadia National Park on Mount sert Island, offl the Maine coast, un- 1 since 1930, when it has taken over e George Washington birthplace and olonizl, national monuments in Vir- nia and the Great Smoky Mountains kational Park in North Carolina and ennessee. Otherwise its activities ave been concentrated in the West. But henceforth it will have also the henandoah National Park in Virginia addition to the military parks, bat- flefield sites, national monuments, etc.. fransferred to it from the War Depart- ent. To the administration of these [ill be brovght all the rich experience ained by its personnel in the West. Wherever it has gone it has sought ot only to provide recreation grounds or the people. but to preserve natural eauty and historical associations from mercialization. It has been espe- ially effective in psotecting wild life Historical Technique. To the Revolutionary and Civil War ites in the East it will apply the same istorical technique that has been fol- bwed successfully with respect to pre- isto! Indian ruins in the West. So ar as possible they will be made into nified ems, easily accessible from ome central point.

BERLIN, August 5 (#).—Alfred Von Hodenberg. in charge of economic ques- tions for the Nazi labor front, stated today that rationalization methods hav- ing in view substitution of the machine for the man and hence leading to dis- | missal of workers would be prohibited | henceforth. “Never again must the worker be re- placed by a machine nor a highly skilled manual laborer by an unskilled or woman laborer,” Von Hodenberg said. “Of course it is impossible to get along without the machine altogether,” | he pdded. LAND PROBE STIRS TONN N WYOMNG “0ld Wiid West” Area Girds for Arguments Over Rockefeller Plan. By the Associated Press. JACKSON, Wyo., August 5—Jackson Hole, where once the maxim was “shoot first and argue afterward,” found ex- citement tcnight in the forthcoming meeting of a congressional committee | to decide verbally the biggest argument | in the history of this mountain wilder- | ness area. Words were the ammunition with | which the settlers were armed to de- fend and to assail the plan of John D. Rockefeller, jr. which would make of the famed Jackson Hole a wilderness area, forever dedicated to recreation | purposes. A | Half the settlers are against the | plan, contending the Rockefeller inter- | ests have an “ace up their sleeve” which has not been disclosed. The others de- fend it as a great gesture of benevo- lence. | 40,000 Acres Involved. | The plan involves the purchase by | the Snake River Land Co., a Rockefel- | ler enterprise, of the 40,000 acres of | deeded land in the “Hole.” Approxi- mately 200,000 acres of public lands | would be added and the whole joined as an extension to Yellowstone National Park, but reserved as a wilderness area, accessible only by trail and pack horse. In the vanguard of the objectors is | United States Senator Robert D. Carey of Wyoming, who asserts the Snake| River Co. plans to withhold valuable | concession rights when its 40,000 acres| are given to the Government. Carey asserts this is the plan of Rockefeller associates and that Rockefeller himself | is unaware of it. | He also has objected betause he feels the withdrawal of 40,000 acres from the tax rolls will bankrupt Teton County,| in which the land is iocated, and would | devivaoy Siate Tevenue. Charges Intimidation. Carey, who was instrumental in hav- ing the Western subcommittee of the Senate Public Lands Committee in- vestigate, says those who have been buying land for the Snake River Co. intimidated settlers of the “Hole,” burned homes and tore down fences. Horace M. Albright, former director of national parks, who has been called as a witness, said there was no attempt at coerclon and the only structures burned were some acquired by the Snake River Co. He said they were destroyed because they were “eyesores on the landscape.” Other witnesses who have been sum- moned include Dr. Hubert Work, former Secretary of the Interior; Rockefeller, officials of the Snake River Land Co. and a group of Wyoming land owners. . Senator Gerald Nye of North Dakota is chairman of the committee. The meeting will open Monday. . DERN REACHES OMAHA War Secretary and Daughter Guests of Army Officer. OMAHA., Nebr., August 5 (#).—Secre- tary of War Dern and his daughter Betsy arrived here tonight by plane and were greeted by a large delegation of prominent Omahans.

Th2 corporation, in this refinancing, will e: change its 'bonds up to the permitted | maximum for mortgages and will col- lect from home owners interest not ex- ceeding 5 per cent on the refinanced mortgages. and home owners must amortize these loans within 18 years. Cash Loan Arranged. ‘The act also provides that home | row in cesh up to 40 per cent of the of refinancing their indebtedness. In- | terest on these loans in no event will exceed 6 per cent annually. Cash loans are authorized up to 50 | per cent of the value of the homes not | otherwise encumbered for the payment of taxes, assessments, necessary repairs and maintenance. Also loans are pro- vided to recover homes for original | owners who may have lost them by forced sales in the past two years. The principal criticism of the bonds is that they are not guaranteed by the Government except as to interest. Also, the ment has no_direct knowledge of any insurance company being unwilling to | accept the bonds in exchange for mort- gages. “In_fact” Horace Russell, general counsel, said, “the legal department has | within the past few days called upon two of the largest insurance companies in the country for deta which would enable us to complete our lien forms || throughout the States, and the response | was prompt and generous. “We feel that if this prompt co- operation upon the part of two of th~|! leading and largest insurance companies | in the United States is any evidence of || the attitude of the balance of them, we shall from the outset receive splendid ! co-operation in the administration of | the act. | “This morning’s mail indicates that parties with whom we are in corre- spondence are meeting wjth success in | accept bonds of the corporation, and | we think that it is fair to assume that | at least some of thde who are consent- | ing are insurance companies, as not all | of them would be individuals. i Interest Not Collected. | “To the one holding a real estate lien who says: ‘Why should I surrender an obligation paying 6 per cent for the corporation bond which pays but 4 per cent, we would say, ‘But are you getting 6 per cent—is it not a matter of fact that you haven't collected any in- terest on” your mortgage in_a long time?" He is compelled to reply in the | affirmative, then we say: ‘Wouldn't you be better off with our obligation where the United States Government guarantees the interest at 4 per cent for 18 years than with your present ob- ligation where you are not receiving any interest at all, assuming that you do| not want to load yourself down with foreclosed property on a real estate market like the present one’" In 1932, the outstanding mortgage debt on dwelling houses was estimated by the Home Loan Bank $21.450,000,000, divided as : Federal Reserve member banks, $1,450, 000,000; mutual savings banks, $3.393.- 000,000; all other banks, $1,044,000.000; | building and loan associations, $6.484,- | 000,000; insurance companies, $2.079,- | 000,000; mortgage companies, $3.000,- 000,000; individuals, $4,000,000.000. | The total number of dwellings in the | United States in 1930, according to the Federal census, was 25204976, and the number of families was 29.904.663. As a “dwelling” is defined as any place where one or more persons sleep regu- || larly, it may signify a boat or a tent, and an apartment house sheltering | many families is counted as only one | Owing to this method n?‘ e number of dwellings is considerably less | than the number of families. Urban dwellings totaled 13,046,699 and urban | families totaled 17,372.524. It was pointed out that of the more than $21,000,000,000 in mortgages held | on homes, it has been estimated that more than $5,000,000,000 may be in de- | fault. Officials said that the Govern- ment, therefore, could not hope to assist in every instance; nor does it expect to, since its relief will be available only when funds for such aid absolutely are lacking from any other source.

A recent circu- lar of the Treasury made this announce- ment. In other words, a bank which desires to secure Government deposits may use the bonds of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation as security for such deposits. “The Federal Reserve Board has au- thorized the Federal Reserve banks to accept these bonds as collateral security Loans are pass- ed within a day or two after filing application— with few excep- tions.

For instance, a building and loan association, or the receiver of a closed bank, may now have mortgages of say $200,000 up as collateral for a loan of $100,000. By exchanging these mortgages individ- ually for bonds of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, the borrower from the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion can put up $125,000 of the Home Owners’ Loan Corperation’s bonds to secure the loan of $100,000 and there- by release $75,000 of his receivables. “You, of course, understand that the interest on the bonds is guaranteed by the United States Government for the period of the bonds, 18 years.” FOUR SEIZED IN PLOT TO HOLD UP DRUG STORE Old-Fashioned Revolver Sald to Have Been in Possession of One of Party in Park.

CHICAGO, August 5—A detective sergeant, off duty and with time hang- ing on his hands, trailed an alleged swindler and today arrested him on a charge of fleecing Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mollerstrom of East Rockaway, N. Y, of $8,000. Thursday Sergt. Thomas Alcock of the confidence detail noticed an auto- mobile with a New York license, the last two numbers of which were 49. He recalled that these two numbers were the only clue to the swindle perpetrated by three confidence men last June 30 on the East Rockaway couple, who came here to see the World’s Fair. Mollerstrom had put up the money on a deal involving the stock market and later he gave police a description of the men who had.fleeced him and added the detail about the license on their car. Thursday night Sergt. Alcock watched the parked car. When a stocky man of about 55 years of age got in and drove away, he followed in a taxi. The man diove to an aparfment on® Cornell avenue, parked and went inside. Alcock telegraphed New York police | to trace the ownership of a car bearing the license 7N 4349. Friday he re- ceived a reply stating that the owner was Harry Lewiston of New York. Records of the detective bureau here revealed Lewiston has a record for op- erating swindles dating to 1900.
