O'Neal, state manager of the corporation, with headquarters at Salisbury.

The cases represented by the com mitments of $1,264,868.64 are now in the hands of attorneys of the corpor ation who are making the necessary legal examinations before the final steps are taken, said Mr. O'Neal. He added that the individual cases would be closed as quickly as the legal re ports are made, which should be with in a short time. The corporation thus far has halted I 641 foreclosure proceedings on homes in the state, he said, property invold ed in these being valued at $1,944,358. In addition, he added, loans totaling $1,726,152.78 have not beat granted for the reason they did not ?*upewi$h in provisions of the federal law creat ing the corporation or the mortgage holders did not care to accept the cor poration's bonds in lieu of their mort gages. These may come up at a later date for reconsideration, he said. "This does not mean," 'declared Mr. O'Neal, "that these cases are dead, as negotiations have already been started with the mortgagees in an e&ort to get them to reduce their mortgages or to accept bonds where 80% of the . appraised value will retire the in debtedness." . ?

Paris, Oct 24.?The cabinet of Ed ouard Dailadier fell early today for a balanced budget and insisting to the last that sound finance alone coufd avert immediate inflation and the fall of the franc. * Within an hour after the defeat 329 to 241 on a vote of confidence the entire cabinet hurried to Elysee palaee and presented their resignations to President Lebrun. ? The President immediately outlined a series of consultations with senators and chamber deputies, committee , heads and party leaders before offer- j ing the premiership.^ > Owing to the bitterness which de- .j veloped in the chamber it was. not \ considered likely a deputy would be ; considered. \ I As M. Dailadier fell he burned his bridges behind him in an open break < with the Socialists, reproaching their millionaire leader, been Brum, for i negotiating a compromise and then <i refusing to support it. Usually calm and deliberate, the premier raised his arm to violent ges tures as he denounced Blum who ap- I peared to take tragically the sup- j posed end of his power , seem in the | Socialist split on the question. His | spare form, contrasting sharply with that the thick-set and burly premier | and his voice choking, he asserted i that the government plans would have j paved the way for a future deficit. i "You are going to again reduce the ' purchasing power of the consumers," j Blum cried. "No one\ is more opposed i to inflation than we, but we also want ; stable relations between wages and ?/ prices." The mjnistry's overthrow was un- i usually dramatic and Dalladieris de? 1 rmnciation of Blum came to climax a day filled with tenseness both inside | the jammed chamber and in streets where thousands were gathered. i Two hundred persons were arrested i as a result of demonstrations on 4he outside.
