In line with the President! determination to place 2.000,000 men now on relief work on "regular work at regular wages" by Nov. 16, with another 2,000,000 unemployed to be absorbed "as soon as possible," Administration officials announced or made the following moves: 1 The Home Owners Loan Corp. announced plans to clear up $903,000,000 in mortgages in the closed banks of ten states and put cash into the hands of the depositors of the closed banks.

This involves $156,000,000 worth of Michigan mortgages. The Bureau of Public Roads invited state highway commissioners to list immediately at least six projects for each county on which maintenance expenditures of not more than $5,000 might be made at once. It was said that $90,000,000 would be spent for such work. The Relief Administration pushed preparations for an all-day conference Wednesday with governors, mayors, public engineers and social workers to transfer 2,000,000 relief clients to the rolls of the Civil Works Administration. The RFC reduced interest on loans to the railroads All from five per cent to four began Nov.

These hogs were bought on the Chicago market Saturday. Wayne St. Widening Urged as Part of Federal Project Proposal to Make It a Trunk Highway Is Considered to Take Care of Traffic Two dentists and a dental supply salesman took care of a patient Monday night.

When they had finished, he was a better prospect, for treatment than ever before, but police said that any needed tightening of teeth must wait until he faces a charge of passing worthless checks. The unscheduled operation took place In the office of Dr. Harry Rennell, 2567 W. Grand where Dr. M.

S. DeVilllers, of 3730 Junction another dentist, had gone to tell about the tactics of a bad check passer. Dr. Rennell is co-editor of The Detroit District Dental Bulletin and Dr. DeVilliers wanted a piece written about how he had been victimized a week ago so that other dentists could be warned and, perhaps, the check passer eventually captured.

In the office was the salesman, Jay A. Shoup, of 12095 Rosemary Ave. Explains the Method "From tnlking to others," Dr. DeVilliers was saying, "I've found that this crook always asks for treatment and then gives a check for several dollars additional. Where he makes his money is In keeping the change.

And he always asks for an X-Ray examination. That recalled to Dr. Rennell that the patient waiting in his chair had asked for an X-Ray. He glanced in the treatment room. Dr.

DeVilliers' eyes followed. They saw the patient getting out of the chair and heading for the door. "That's him," Dr. DeVilliers yelled. The two dentists and the salesman ran into the room and found the patient with his hand in his pocket, a hard object showing through.

He pressed it against Shoup. Lay On, MacDuff! "No, you don't," said Shoup, aiming a left. "This won't hurt much," consoled Dr. Rennell, putting in a right "It'll be all over In a minute," Dr. DeVilliers hissed as he delivered the deciding uppercut, The pocket was opened up wide and, Instead of the expected pistol, it contained only an eyeglass case.

The prisoner was turned over to police. He said tnal tie was Bayra Tourneur, 37 years old, of 1668 Webb Ave. Wed Second Time; Forfeits $300,000 Mrs. Gladys M. Kuhn, daughter of the late Aaron Mendelson, Detroit capitalist, announced Monday that Oct.

25 she married Harry A. Dart, of Detroit. The marriage, she tevealed, will result In her forfeiture of insurance money left to her by her deceased husband, Bernard Kuhn. It was reported that Mr. Kuhn left $300,000 in life insurance, but Mrs.

Dart said that she "would not receive the money" as a result of her marriage Oct. 25. Mrs. Kuhn and Mr. Dart were married in Ascension Roman Catholic Church, Detroit.

La Guardia Fails as Movie Writer HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 13-(A. Florello LaGuardia. newly elected mayor New York, joined the ranks of unsuccessful film writers today. His scenario "Dirty Polities'' was rejected by a motion picture company and returned to him with the notation that the company's production program for the coming year had been already planned.

The scenario, company officials said, was submitted to them by Mayor-elect LaGuardia more than a month ago.

Ingalls, assistant corporation counsel, are expected to Join the delegation later. They are responding to the Invitation of Director Harry L. Hopkins, of the newly formed Civil Works Administration, whose task is the Immediate re-employment ofi 4.000,000 unemployed. He has railed a conference of municipal and county officials as a preliminary step. Many Project Presented At the meeting in Mayor Smith's office, one City official after another brought before the Mayor and the Congressmen who were present short-term and long-term projects employing from a few hundred to many thousands of men.

"Let me make this clear." said Commissioner Lenhardt. "These projects would take care of, in large part, the so-called white collar workers. We would have timekeepers, material men, and all that sort of thing." CobSidney rX.Waldon, president of the D. S. R.

Commission, by the D. S. R. would account for from $4,000,000 to chiefly a labor bill. Supt.

Louis J. Schrenk, of the i Public Lighting Commission, of-j fered, in addition to requests fori $1,260,000 for extensions to the! Commission's plant facilities, a re- quest for another $1,0.13,000. Of; this latter amount, $1,000,000 would be used to convert all of the City's i arc lights Into incandescent lamps, a change that would mean a sav-; ing of $50,000 a year. Approxi- mately half the street lamps are still of the arc type, it was The $33,000 would be used to re- paint lamp standards, a job that has lagged for several years. Some of the projects contemplated have been denied, for one reason or another, by the State Advisory Board.

Others, Commissioner Lenhardt was frank to say, do not come under a strict interpretation of present Federal aid laws. All, however, were described as "useful and necessary," and of the general character essential to putting large numbers of men to work. Would Employ 7300 Among Commissioner Lenhardt's proposals was the lity-ioun water project which, he said, would put 7,800 men to work for 52 weeks. He named School Board projects, chiefly additions to the existing building facilities, which would require about $5,000,000. The Parks and Boulevards Department, he said, require $5,138,000.

Grade sep arations, a long-term project, would cost from $60,000,000 to $80,000,000. Street widenings that are being delayed would be expedited by a grant or On naving and paving repairs, $10,400,000 should be expended. Commissioner Lenhardt estimated. Ordinary prudence, he said, dictated a gross expenditure for the past few years of more than for maintainin the City's vast investment. But for lark of funds only $4,000,000 has been spent.

"We don't need any drawings for that," he replied, in answer to a question from one of the Congressmen. "Anybody can see where the holes In the pavements are." He said that 300 men could oe kept busy all renalrs alone. winter on sidewalk Incineration plants and other projects, many of them discussed previously, were offered as possibilities.

i i Aid on Mortgages 156 Millions in Bonds to Help Payoffs in Michigan Billion Fund Set Up by Home Loan Corp. Frozen mortgages to the amount of 1156,000.000 in closed Michigan banks are to be thawed out as part of the Home Owners Loan Corp. plans to refinance almost a billion dollar's worth of such mortgages in 10 states, it was announced in Washington Monday. The announcement was made by John H. Fahey, new chairman of the Corporation.

The Michigan branch of the Federal corporation is already well ad vanced on the plan. John F. Hamil ton. Michigan manager, said Monday that his staff has completed appraisals on about 3.200 mortgages totalling approximately $7,000,000, now held In the closed banks. Request Cared for First Tn all cases, Mr.

Hamilton said, the makers of the mortgages have voluntarily applied for the loans. He expects to be able to make an offer on the lot within two weeks, he said. Meanwhile, the hulk of the mortgages, which are being segregated by the Federal receivers In the two closed National banks here, have not been appraised because the makers have not sought the assistance of the corporation. Under the plan, the corporation Is authorized to issue bonds to the amount of their appraised value and give the individual mortgagor a new mortgage to run for 15 years at a lower rate of Interest. The mortgagor.

In turn, surrenders the bond to the closed bank and th bank Is enabled to place the bond with the Reconstruction Flnanc- Corp. in exchange for cash up 60 per cent of the bond's valua. Will Allow Added. Payoff tn this way, the Government hopes to ease the pressure on distressed mortgage holders and provide the closed banks with funds for additional payoffs to depositors. Fahey emphasized the fact that the plan is calculated to assist only distressed holders of mortgages and Issued a warning that "chlselers" who are able to take care of themselves will not get any of the corporation's help.

In addition, he intends tn seek the co-operation of the bond dealers throughout the Country to strengthen the market on these mortgage bonds, and speed up the organization of Federal building and loan associations in counties which are lacking in such facilities at present. More than half the counties In the Country have no agencies for home mortgage money, he said, and the machinery In other counties is inadequate. 1'rivatn Agencies, Converted To date, 1U Federal savings and loan associations have been formed and Rfi others are In the process of organizing. Eleven private agencies have already been converted, Fahey said. The following table, Illustrating the division of mortgages held In closed banks throughout the 10 States, was given out at the announcement of Fahey's plans: Number Value nf State of Banks Mortgages Illinois 1.587 $413,000,000 182,000,000 156.000,000 40,000,000 28.000,000 21,000.000 19,000.000 19.000.000 13 ooo.noo 9,000,000 Ohio 325 Michigan 34 Pennsylvania 358 Iowa M7 New York 334 IndianR 253 47 New Jersey 100 California 120 Senate to Probe Loans by RFC to Jones Firms WASHINGTON, Nov.

It would probably necessitate the condemnation of property along the east side of Wavne, and, If the street were widened by 30 feet, would mean the razing of the Owen Building at. the northeast corner of Lafayette and Wayne, and of smaller buildings to the north.

Nov. 13(A. More than 3,000 persons who wish to sell liquor here next month became Impatient today at a shortage of permit blanks and stormed the offices of the City's Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. They broke through a door and milled around until quieted by police reinforcements. The crowd waited more than, two hours for arrival of blanks from Albany.

Three patrolmen guarded the offices, and idle clerks twiddled their thumbs no blanks, no work. At 11:15 a. m. a batch of about 250 forms arrived, and when word leaked to the throng it brushed aside the patrolmen, ripped down a door and stormed the office. Polio Herd Crowds Reinforcements were rushed to the building and herded the crowd to the ground floor.

It was announced that more blanks were en route from Albany. Early applicants, who did not mind the wait, were able to hawk blanks to impatient ones for $1 to $10. Two of the rules set up to govern the sale of liquor were disregarded virtually today. One provides that applicants must have a lease for the premises to be used for dispensaries, but today the blanks were issued to many persons who had only letters testifying that the applicants had an option on the premises which would be exercised if a permit were granted. The rule dealing with bonds was disregarded in its letter if not In meaning.

The temporary governing arrangement called for the filing of a bond with each application. Because the State Insurance Department has not yet set the rate for the excise bonds, however, they were being issued on payment of a deposit. Only 7,000 Stre Licenses A possible shortage of State liquor licenses was Indicated when it was learned that the State Alco- nolle Beverage Control Board had had printed only 7,000 licenses for stores. 8,000 for restaurants and 1,750 for hotels for the entire state. More than 3,000 applications for retail liquor stores alone have been received in this city In the last few days.

Nelson R. Ruttenberg, counsel for the State Board, said' that the licenses already printed were expected to meet all needs of the industry. He said he felt that because of restrictions many applicants would not receive favorable action on their requests. Terrorized Town Flees Poison Gas Earth Oozes Fumes; 16 Already Dead VIGO. Spain.

A serum which applied to tubercle baccilll will create an acid destructive to Itself and to tuberculosis in the human body was described tonight by Dr. Stephen J. Maher, the authority on tuberculosis, to a gathering of Connecticut physicians at Laurel Heights Sanatorium.

"The temptation to preserve silence on this work of ours until we could say 'Here is a cure for tuberculosis' has been very strong." he said. "We have resisted this temptation because we realized that if we are on the right track the cure will be achieved much sooner if we impart our knowledge to direction of the whole world than it could be if we tried to find the cure alone. "Once sighted, nothing, not even political scheming or lack of funds, could keep the world from obtaining immediately and developing Immediately the cure for tuberculosis, which is the greatest prize In the world." Guinea rig Test Made Dr. Maher said that he had not obtained any convincing evidence that the cocci or diplococci newly created have preventive or curative effect on tuberculosis In guinea pigs or rabbits, and they apparently have no harmful effect on either. Dr.

Maher is chairman of the Connecticut Tuberculosis Commission. He has spoken at gatherings in this and foreign counlrks on his warfare against the "white plague." Tonight, he had invited physicians to meet with the Commission to listen to a technical address which reviewed research, experiment and use of what he called a nonacld-fast i cocci and diploccocci. The acid produced by these, he explained, is harmless to themselves but full of harm to the germs from which thev are derived. i Of the title of his paper Dr. I Maher said that he had first I thought ft should be: "How to Coax Tubercle Bacilli to Commit Suicide But since this was flippant, he call-1 ed it; "The Progeny of the Tiiberclue I Baccilll." a subject, unrelated to this paper, which he had treated of at Brussells In 1910 and at Berlin in 1913.

He told how last summer his microscope showed a nonacid-fast cocci and diplococci outnumbering tubercle baccilll in the test flask.

Smith and his official delegation confer with Oil Code Attacked by Detroit Group Legality Contested by Station Owners Detroit filling station operators Monday attacked the N'RA oil code as unconstitutional in arguments which were made in Washington before Justice Jesse Adkins, of the District of Columbia Supreme Court. Charges that the code creates unfair competition were voiced by I .1 I Harry vlctor anrt other De- troit operators. He went on to ar-! gue that the Recovery Act is applicable only to Interstate commerce and to charge that the code itself lis "class legislation" because it allows competitors to offer free parking space while prohibiting the plaintiffs from giving premiums of chinaware and other articles. Tne oj code W8s one. of the first to be adopted and its control was placed in the hands of the industry.

About a month ago Howard A. cor fin. president of the White Star Refining was appointed as the Detroit authority on the code. Enforcement is in the hands of the industry. After suit was filed in Washington, Nathan Margold, solicitor for the Interior Department, asked for dismissal on grounds that there was no cause for action.

Monday Mr. Hudson argued that the only grounds for application of the act to intrastate commerce would be an emergency. "It cannot be said that they cannot amend the Constitution, because they have amended It." Mr. Hudson declared. "If the emergency was as great as they rlaim, they could have persuaded the State Governments to supply the necessary authority.

That was not done because the emergency did not Justify it." Mr. Hudson dwelt on the justification of extraordinary powers In case of war, and Justice Adkins interrupted to comment on current emergencies. "There are some people who think that the emergency now is greater than in war time," he observed. "When we speak of people being reduced to hardtack we must remember that there are more than 12.000.000 people that are down to less than hardtack." RFC a Good Collector WASHINGTON. Nov.
