home owners in North Carolina who
have not yet completed paying for
their homes, as well as thousands.of
others who would like to buy homes
but who cannot now do so. will be
benefitted by th? home loan bank
bill passed in the closing days of
Congress and finally signed by Presi

now being set up under this law with
a capitalization of 1125,000.000, will
make it possible for building and
loan associations, savings banks and
insurance companies to borrow from
them twelve times the amount of
stock they subscribe to and thus en
able them to handle more loans over
a longer period.
Incidentally, this bill was enacted
largely through the efforts of the
North Carolina delegation in Congress

An Accord

Order To Evacuate
Government build
ings by Last Mid
night Is Extended
Washington, July 28. (AP)
Whether some of their shelters would
fall about their heads depended today
upon the ability of bonus seekers to
»gree with the Treasury as to when
they will get out of government build
ings.
One group of veterans had a plan
ready for the Treasury, which indi
cated that the already half wrecked
building tarn down, whether theii*
occupants evacuated or not.
Police were ready, too, for a pos
sible demonstration when nine men
arrested yesterday in a general melee,
following an attempt to picket the
White House, were arraigned in police
court. Exborters of the radical wing,
soap box speeches last night, urged
the demonstration as a protest against
the arrests.
There was an order instructing vet
erans to get out of the banned area
'at midnight last night, but Pelham
D. Glassford, police superintendent,
in a personal speech to the shanty
town residents, granted a 24-hour re
prieve.
The compromise plan would have
veterans leave government buildings
and grounds in a “reasonable time,'*
provided other billets ware profere4-
