SABATH EXPLAINS REAL ESTATE BILL Tells Committee Capital Situation Demands Re- financing Reforms. The situation in the District of Co- fumbia, where he said bordholders’ protective committees in all large hotel refinancing cases were controlled by the investment houses which issued the bonds, was emphasized at morning and afternoon hearings today before the Banking and Currency Commit- tee on the Sabath real estate bond- holders conservator bill by the author of the measure.

ONLY & Cagliosiro or & Merlin can explain this bit of seeming nec- romancy in & well-ordered world. A former educational officlal and his wife recently passed a very quiet forty-fifth wedding anniversary at their apartment. After dining at home the head of the house settled himself in his favorite easy chair to read. His wife was busying herself selecting a book for the evening. On the book case, the clock which for 20 years had kept the time ac- curately, booming forth the hour with sonorous and methodical regu- larity pointed its hands toward 9, the hour which, 45 years before, had been the wedding hour. Then it struck. Not slowly and methodically this time. Not bong... bong...bong. But madly, wildly, in a new key, with machine-gun rapid- ity.

Winds (something nice to think | about at this time of year) blow through the Capital on the average of 7 miles per hour, the Weather Bureau says. Chicago's average wind velocity is 15 miles per hour, 2 miles lower than that of New York.
