INDIANA FARM LOANS SPURRED BY VAN NUYS Federal Land Bank Agrees to Center Attention on State. BY WALKER STOVE Tim*s Writer WASHINGTON. Oct. 4—A drive to complete refinancing of farm loans in Indiana will be started next week with a force of 200 farm appraisers in the field. Spurred into action by Senator Frederick Van Nuys, the Federal Land Bank of Louisville has agreed to center its attention on Indiana farm loans. Two hundred new farm appraisers will be employed early next week and rushed through a four-day period of training. Os the 200, it is estimated at least 150 will qualify as appraisers, and, together with appraisers already attached to the Louisville bank, more than 200 men should be at work appraising Indiana farms by the latter part of next week. Follows Wisconsin System The procedure to be followed in Indiana is the same as that started in Wisconsin early in the summer, when a swarm of appraisers worked the state and speedily concluded action on all farm loan applications in Wisconsin. Senator Van Nuys started harassing the farm loan administration here about a month ago when complaints began rolling into his office from Indiana farmers, who wrote that appraisals had not been made on loan applications sixty and ninety days old. Indiana farmers also complained that appraisals which had been made were so low as to make a refinancing loan impossible. They said that the Louisville land bank was granting only so-called giltedge loans—loans that easily could be obtained from conservative private banks. Train Appraisers Soon An understanding was reached that, the appraisers to be hired and trained next week will be instructed to make liberal appraisals. Practically every farmer in Indiana whose farm is mortgaged will be affected, because the farm loan law authorizes loans to be made at 5 per cent, at least 1 per cent less than most outstanding farm loans—and over a long period of years. Thomas W. Neely, chief appraiser of the Louisville bank, has been ordered into Indiana next week and organize the appraisal force. The “appraisal schools" will be set up in different cities over the state. GEORGE BRUCE NAMED BY CLUB FEDERATION Club Group Supports Opposition to Slum Clearance Program. George Q.

IN “The Paradine Case,” Robert Hitchens undertakes to do two things: To show the slow deterioration of a lawyer who is so ill-ad-vised as to fall in love with a lady he is defending on a murder charge, and to provide an atmosphere of horror and suspense which rises to a climax when the jury brings in its verdict. His success, one must report, is only moderate. Perhaps it is because so many of the characters seem to be pompous and humorless asses. There is good entertainment in the book, but it is buried pretty deep beneath a lot of words. Our lawyer is a successful British attorney wiht a brilliant record as defense counsel in murder cases. He is rich, popular, blessed with a charming and devoted wife, and all goes well with him until he is retained to act for Mrs. Paradine, who is accused of poisoning her husband. His client first puzzles, then fascinates and finally enthralls him. He wobbles and wavers, wrecks his own home, destroys his reputation —and. to cap it all, loses his judgment so that instead of getting his client off he sends her to the gallows. Accompanying this is the slow crescendo of fear which Mr. Hichens builds up. The judge who tries the case is revealed, bit by bit, as a sadistic monster: and the trial itself lavs bare, slowly and ominously, a grewsome crime. The final third of the book, in fact, is pretty exciting. The only trouble is that a lot of readers are going to stop before they get that far. Published by Doubleday. Doran & Cos., this book sells for $2.50. BAD "bqYwTnS~~CONTEST Champion Speller Disqualified for Playing “Hookey From School.” Ry United Prrtt HOLLAND.

Ringed by American warships as the island is, he indicated, he finds himself handicapped at the task of restoring peace and unity in the republic. Sinister forces are at work in Cuba, he charged, to block his efforts despite the fact that his government has the support not only of the youth of the island but of “all sound national elements.” "Misguided diplomacy.” President Grau San Martin asserted, is backing the opposition to the present regime whose success will advance the cause of Pan-Americanism but whose defeat only can “intensify the existing international problems." But despite the Cuban view, Washington is in receipt of information leading to the conviction that

but for the presence of the warships the comparative quiet which has characterized the revolution thus far quickly would be shattered by violent excesses. The American warships, it Is observed. offer a certain protection to the Cuban* themselves. Were they to withdraw. Great Britain, France, Spain and Italy likely would send their own vessels to Cuba to protect their nationals, and that would add to, rather than lessen, the tension.
