WOMEN GASSED AIDING STRIKERS Lettuce Workers’ Sympa- thizers Mix in Street Fight- ing in California. By the Associated Press. SALINAS, Calif., September 18— Bcores of woman lettuce workers, jeer- ing in spite of tear gas bombs and officers’ riot sticks, came to the aid of the men today in the tense strike situation. One woman striker, Rose Lloyd, re- ceived hospital treatment for bruises she sald came from a riot stick in street fighting. A. D. Doss, financial secretary of the Fruit and Vegetable Workers' Union, said several women ‘were treated for effects of tear and nausea gas. Mostly, however, the more enthusi- astic women have specialized in curb- stone razzing of officers and deputized citizens. Approximately 3,200 workers are affected by a walkout, 900 of them women. Hope for peace today was centered | on Federal and State mediation efforts. | The Shipper-Grower Association was reported considering a settlement pro- posal made by Gov. Frank F. Merriam from Sacramento. Federal mediation attempts were launched with the ar- rival of Walter G. Mathewson, con- ciliation commissioner for the United States Department of Labor. Sheriff Carl Abbott led a raid last hight on headquarters of the Fruit and Vegetable Workers Union, which called the strike two weeks ago de- manding hiring preference. The raid- ers found no trace of weapons. ‘Words took the place of blows after union pickets deserted the streets yes- | W3S Set afire by pickets. police, who also stopped an onrush of strikers. terday heeding a warning from lead- ers that a “massacre” trap awaited them.

Conscious when rescuers reached Bim, O'Donnell said the bus, one of 4he newest models, began to skid at the brow of the hill, then swayed from one side of the road to the other before hitting the tree, which It snapped at the base. 22, of 30, of FOUND.

A large houseboat smashed into and tore away part of the railing of Mason’s Creek Bridge. Bus and street railway systems here. and to Virginia Beach were completely disrupted by the inflowing tides, and telephone service was ex- tremely irregular. Automobiles were stalled everywhere. In the midmorning a boat crew was organized at Ocean View and the task of clearing out all Willoughby residents begun. Several cottages there were unroofed. “I'm still holding on,” said a Mr. Simpson, whose house on Willoughby was surrounded by water. A portion of the grandstand at Bain Field here collapsed during the morning, crushing two automobiles beneath it. Adjt. Gen. S. Gardner Waller in- formed Gov. Peery at Richmond by radio at 11:30 am. that a careful check showed no loss of life in the Virginia area struck by the tropical hurricane. The force of the blow was belleved abating in the Cape Henry area at that hour, as the storm cen- ter swung northward. H.0.L.C.HAS MARK IN FORECLOSURES Increase Double Since May, With $3,000,000,000 Long- Term Mortgages. An increase of approximately 100 per cent in authorized Home Owners’ Loan Corp. foreclosures since May was re- ported today by the Federal Home Loan Bank Review. Although the foreclosures authorized in July totaled 8016, there were ac- tually only 1,380 foreclosures as com- pared with 964 in May. ‘The month-to-month report fol- lows: Roreclosures authorized: January, 1,281; February, 1,544; March, 3,190; April, 4,367, May, 4,687; June, 8,113, tand July, 8016. Mortgages actually foreclosed: January, 334 February, 450; March, 516; April, 669; May, 964; June, 1,439, and July, 1,380. H. O. L. C. Largest Owner. With some $3,000,000,000 of long- term mortgages outstanding, the H. O. L. C. already is the country's largest owner of home indebtedness, and with the marked increase in the foreclosure rate, the agency is well on its way toward becoming the largest individual owner of homes. Explaining this increase in fore- closures, H. O. L. C. officlals pointed out that by provision of Congress borrowers who secured their loans prior to the Spring of 1934 had the privilege of refraining from making any principal payments for three years. This period of grace is begin- ning to expire and many of the home owners find themselves unable to make the principal payments now falling due. Borrowers since 1934, it was pointed out, also may be excused from mak- ing principal payments for three years, but only with the consent of the H. O. L. C. This, it was sug- gested, has resulted in fewer principal moratoriums, and probably will bring & decrease in the number of foreclos- ures in the future. Obligation on H. 0. L. C. Officials pointed out that Congress, in drafting the bill creating the lend- ing agency, placed an obligation on the H. O. L. C. to deal with each as an individual loan, with instructions to protect, if possible, both the home owner's equity and the Government's investment. The H. O. L. C. now has loans on more than 1,000,000 properties. These loans average $3,000, and are to be repaid in monthly payments of $24, covering principal and interest, ex- tending over a 15-year period. e o Food Costs Protested.

The mushroom growth of parking lot business in the District in recent years was described in a series of stories published recently by The Star. Study of proposed regulation of parking lot activity was initiated some months ago by Engineer Com- missioner Dan I. Sultan, and later People’s Counsel William A. Roberts urged not only licensing and control, but also the bonding of parking lot op- erators to set up a guarantee for pat- rons of the lot against possible dam- age to their wehicles. As a part of the regulation plan, the District fire marshal, Calvin G. Lauber, was directed to prepare a form to be used in an amendment of police regulations requiring all ga- rages to file application for permits which would set forth data as to the building and its fire protection ar- rangement. Regulations Requested. Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, director of highways, was directed to prepare reg- ulations to require provision of proper driveways, adequate drainage facil- ities and proper ground covering for parking lots. The regulations also will include a requirement that police may have ac- cess to parking lot premises and all Tecords of parked cars during business hours, The licensing and regulations plans Wwere recommended by & group includ- ing, in addition to Thomas, Hugh P.

Altheugh informed by long distance telephone that Mrs. Roosevelt is rap- idly recovering from the grippe, the President has decided to postpone a visit to his Hyde Park, N. Y., home and return to the Capital tomorrow from Cambridge, Mass,, where today he is participating in the 300th an- niversary of the founding of Harvard University. Dr. Ross T.

He said Mrs. Roosevelt’s fever had dropped and that he expected it to disappear en- tirely within another day. Will Remain in Bed. Despite the marked improvement Mrs. Roosevelt has shown, Dr. McIn- tire insisted that she remain in bed for two or three days longer. In announcing this ‘and the fact that the President would return, Sec- retary Stephen T. Early said the change in Mr. Roosevelt’s plans was prompted not only by Mrs. Roose- velt’s iliness, but because there are several pressing business matters he wished to dispose of before going to Hyde Park for a week or 10 days. In changing his plans, the President has been forced to cancel an engage- ment to make & speech at the dedi- cation of the Eastern State Parkway at PFishkill, N.

Prime cut short their two-week “Garden of Eden” honeymoon on Little Talbot Island yesterday when rough seas kicked up by a passing hurricane caused them concern. With no way to communicate with the outside world they did not know the disturbance already had passed and was approaching the North Caro- lina coast. They feared a major storm might be headed for the isolated little island—now uninhabited again—off the north Florida coast. ‘The young couple plan spending a few days on the Florida mainland be- fore returning to their home at Rochester, N. Y. “The trip was perfect,” the bride of two weeks said, in commenting on her | one-week adventure, “but it began to | blow considerably and we thought it | best to leave the island.” Loading their equipment in a row- boat they left the palm-fringed island behind and made for the mainland.
