Hoosier, Self-Styled 'Originator’ of Home Loan Idea, May Lose Own House

Too Much Legal Judgment Against Property Bars Federal Aid. BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Tlm>i Staff Writer PLAINFIELD. Ind., Oct. 24—A snowy-haired man of 55, A. Emmett Biy, although he claims to have supplied the idea for the Home Owners Loan Corporation, faces the loss of his pleasant, two-story home here because there is too much legal judgment against the property for him to receive an HOLC loan. Once a leading Plainfield merchant, Mr. Biy’s fortune—reputed to have been from $25,000 to $75,000 in real estate—was wiped out by tl\e depression. During those years when he saw property after property lilted from under him, Mr. Bly began wondering how millions of home owners might save their property. An idea came to him and nightly he worked into the morning checking the details of the scheme. He sent it to Herbert Hoover. A presidential secretary wrote back that the idea—direct loans to home owners—was "outside the purlieu of the law.” When the 1933 Indiana legislature convened, a state senator took over the idea and prepared to present It to the general assembly. The state was molding the reorganization legislation and there was no time to present the bill, so the senator sent it on to President Roosevelt at Washington. Asked if the HOLC was her husband's brain child. Mrs. Juanita Bly, a sweet-faced, white-haired woman who teaches music in the town, says "I know it is. We ate and lived with the idea for months.” The house which Mr. Bly may

lose is a peaceful quiet home on the top of a hill. There his acres, look down upon the town. The money Mr. Bly won and lost came from his original small earnings as a carrier for the old Indianapolis Evening Sun which later became The Indianapolis Times. With capital saved from trudging the town with his papery he opened a dry goods store. Mr. Bly in his life has been a bank director, merchant, farmer and school board secretary. His face deeply seamed and his brow furrowed, Mr. Bly talks earnestly of his brain child and demands, “A fellow like me shouldn’t lose his home, should he?” But in the records of the HOLC in Indianapolis are the stern but factual words, “Too much judgment.” A lifelong dreamer, Mr. Bly says he has other ideas which he believes may aid the recovery program. It did not seem as he related these plans that they were as practical as the HOLC. Although Mr. Bly always has been a Republican, he says that he is absolutely for President Roosevelt

and believes him to be something of a divine saviour. Today the home is about to be lost unless Mr. Bly call find some way to pay oil the mortgage. He claims that he lost most of his money because during the depression he refused to evict 165 families living in his properties here and in Indianapolis.

CONVICT, FREE FOR 18 YEARS, FACESRETURN Wife Rushes to Aid of Mate; Spree Discloses Identity. Bit T'nitfil Prc*s EAST VIEW, N. Y-, Oct. 25.—Mrs. Lucy King called on the fates, law and Governor Herbert Lehman today to save her husband, James, from being taken back to a prison from which he escaped eighteen years ago, before he met her and "became a good husband and father and honest storekeeper.” "Except that he always liked to drink occasionally,” Mrs. King admitted, after recovering from a dead faint into which she fell when informed for the first time that King had thirteen years more to serve of a sentence for burglary at Michigan state prison at Jackson, Mich. It was a drinking bout that gave him away. He was serving a thirtyday jail sentence for disorderly conduct at Westechester county penitentiary here when Michigan authorities identified him from routine photographs sent to the bureau of criminal identification at Washington. He was 26 when he escaped. He is 45 now, with a good record as a soldier for two years in France and as a Rye grocer. The Kings have a 14-year-old son. Michigan authorities sent warden Paul Brown here the photograph of a young man with two moles on the face. King had similar moles. In his cell he looked minutes at the picture that bore the name "John Kabisch.” Then, Brown said, ho admitted the young man had been himself. Dr. E. C. Cameron to Speak Dr. E. C.
