Leaky roofs are the chief concern
of city home owners, while wells
and other sources of water supply
are the main worry of the farmers,
according to an analysis of the re
quests' for inforrnation being re
ceived by the federal housing ad
ministration.
Painting comes next in both lists
and frequently is coupled with
roofs in the inquiries from city
dw'^llers.
Home owners and farmers are by
no means the only ones seeking
modernization information from
the FH.A. Owners of apartment
houses are deeply interested, ac
cording to the mail analysis, as
well as owners of small stores and
shops. Some of the shop owners,
however, can also be classed as
home owners, as they own the
building and live over the shop.
Builders, lumber men and manu
facturers of special building ma
terial also are keeping in close
touch with the modernization pro.
gram of the FHA. Most active of
them all, apparently, are the own
ers of small lumber mills in Texas.
That state heads the list in vol
ume of inquiries of all kinds, with
a large poroportion of all the
Texas lumber mills represented.
Pennsylvania comes second and
New York third among the. states.
Nearly every phase of moderniza
tion is mentioned in the flood of
mail pouring iii on th? FHA. Even
termities, or “white ants.” figure
in the inquiries since protection
against this pest is a problem in
some sections of the country.
Bath rooms, heating systems and
plumbing generally are the sub
jects of some inquiries, while
large numbers of home owners
plan to build additional rooms to
their houses to provide permanent
quarters for those taken in during
the “doubling up” process of re
cent years. “Father and mother
are living with us now,” several
w'riters state, “and we need an ex
tra room for them.”
Farmers also are interested in
many things in addition to wells.
They inquire about the possibility
of moderinzation loans for fences,
gates, garages, poultry houses,
smoke houses and similar small
buildings. Lightning and fire pro
tection, insulation, reconstruction
of faulty chimneys, stronger foun
dations. installation of plumbing,
wiring and other improvements are
in the list.
T'nose farmers needing new wells
also inquire about such items as
windmills, pumps, tanks, cisterns,
t'iping, troughs and other things
required, to get the gT'atest use
from the wells they hope to dig
with the proceeds of their modem,
ization loans.
All these improvements are elig
ible under the regulations govern
ing modernization loans, according
to FHA officials, and the inquirers
should be able to get the loans they
d'sire from the hanks or other
lend'rg institutions in their own
communiti;s, provided these insti
tutions approve.

aolW-steel «jall-tonight whUa .po

and part of hU houae to pieces
In quest of further endeuce.
Spurred t>y thO discovery of
$840 more in rapsom bDls clev
erly concealed In the garage, de
tectives were under I Instruction
to examine every inch of the
Hauptmann premises, eken to
digging up the yard.' ■
Hauptmann was indicted three
hours after Colonel
testified for 23 minutes before
the grand jurors, and after the
newly-dlscoweked money had
been examined in the jury room.
A small pistol, of German riiake,
with six chambers loaded, also
was found concealed in a hollow
ed garage timber.
Under the Indictment the Ger
man carpenter Is faced wlthi a
maximum penalty of 20 years in
prison and with the evidence
thus far amassed, with more
turning up almost every hour,
authorities are positive thrt con
viction will be a simple matter.
The prisoner will be hustled
into Bronx county court tomor
row morning for arraignment on
the extortion indictment. Date
for trial will be set, and It was
indicated tonight that Haupt
mann will be taken before a jury
within two weeks.
Colonel Lindbergh, who flew
from California to tell the grand
jury what he knows about the
kidnaping of his baby and the
ransom negotiations which fol
lowed, did not see Hauptmann
during his half-hour visit to the
county building. District Attor
ney Samuel J. Foley said that
the evidence Is so preponderant
ly against Hauptmann that it
was not necessary for Lindbergh
to confront him.
Hau|>tniann’s Y’ersion Exploded
Discovery of the additional
money served to explode Haupt
mann’s own version of how he
came by the store of yellow-
backed bills, because he had in
sisted that his friend, Isidor
Fisch, left $14,000 at the Haupt
mann home before departing for
Germany.

Further Evidence Revealed
Col. H. Norman Schwartzkopf,
chief of New-'Jersey state police,
who accompanied Colonel Lind
bergh to the Bronx, revealed still
further circumstantial evidence
tending to link Hauptmann with
the actual kidnaping.
Schwartzkopf said that the
chisel found near the Lindbergh
home after the kidnaping, came
from the same manufacturer
who made the carpenter tools
found in Hauptmann’s garage.
The New Jersey police com
mandant also revealed that
Hauptmann worked at the Hotel
Majestic in New York city until
noon of April 2, 1932—the date
the ransom was
did not return to work after the
noon hour. |
With fresh evidence accumu-|
lating hour by hour In the casej
against Hauptmann, it appeared j
that New Jersey officials are in
no hurry to take him across the
Hudson and try him on a murder
charge.
