Hoover's Brother-in-Law Goes
On Trial Today, Liquor Charge
At one ot the largest and moat
enthusiastic mass meetings here
of persons interested in the Boy
Scout movement, the Cascade area
council decided against the cries
of dissenting factions and voted
not to reduce expenditures for
Scouting activities in the area of
Polk and Marion counties.
Thirty of the 68 men present
from the two counties pledged
themselves each to raise .$100 to
carry on the Scout program. The
drive for funds will be organized
today and tomorrow. The $3000
thus raised will pay off the $1200
deficit of the area and finance its
program until the end of the fis
cal year in. June, 1932.
The! financial straits of Cascade
area, which have continued to be
come more serious, of late had
given rise to agitation by certain
groups variously for the abolition
of scouting here, curtailing of ac
tivities, doing away with a paid
executive, and refusing of the sev
eral districts to raise funds for
the central council.
Delaney Chosen
As New President
With the support of the prom
inent men who attended the meet
ing last night, this opposition was
effectively squelched. Among the
attendants were 20 members of
the American Legion, from Salem,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (AP)
President Hoover tonight urged
that some way be found for men
to buy their homes on an easy in
stallment plan free from "terms
and risks comparable to the cre
dit extended by a pawnbroker."
The chief executive asked a
search for such a means in wel
coming 1.000 delegates to his con
ference on home building and
home ownership.
Addressing the opening session
he suggested that Installment
purchase be applied to home upon
the same terms as fur coats and
radio with initial payments as
low as 20 per cent.
There is a wide distinction be
tween homes and mere housing,"
Mr. Hoover said. "Those immor
tal ballads. Home, Sweet Home,
My Old Kentucky Home and The
Little Gray Home ln the West,
were not written about tenements
or apartments . . . they never slag
songs about a pile of rent re
ceipts." Committee Reports
Will Be Acted On
The delegates laid plans to
night to divide into the 31 com
mittees in which they have work
ed for a year. Committee reports
already hare been prepared and if
approved will be made public
The president asserted flatly
tonight be believed the problem
of home building finance was the
weakest link in the nation's cre
dit chain, and that "we have fair
ly creditably solved every other
segment of our credit structure,
more effectively" than this one.
"We have ln normal times,
through the savings banks. Insur
ance companies, the building and
loan associations, and others, pro
vided abundant and mobile fi
nance for 50 per cent of the coat
of a home through the first mort
gage." he said. "But the definite
problem is not presented by thoe
who can find 50 per cent of the
cost of a home.
Low First Payment
Is Chief Essential
"Our chief problem ln flnaneee
relates to those who have an ear
nest desire for a home, who have
a job and therefore possess sound:
character credit, but whose initial
resources run to only 20 or 25
per cent. These people would
willingly work and apply all their
rent and all their savings to gain
for themselves this independence
and security and social well-be
ing. Such people are a good risk.
They are the very basis of stabil
ity to the nation."
The president recalled befor
the delegates that every phase of
home buildings and ownership wan
to be considered. He said he
hoped the results of these studies
would prove as beneficial and be
as widely broadcast as those ol
his child health conference.
He made but a passing mention
of his recent plan for a system of
home loan discount banks, and
said nothing of general economic
problems or of unemployment.
