October IS, 1933. marked the end of the first full year of actual operation of the federal home loan bank sys tem, according to a statement Issued yesterday by the Home Loan Bank Board, summarizing the progress made by the system during the past 12 months. Pointing out the steps wtai&h have been taken toward the development of a permanent national reserve sys tem for homo mortgage credit. Wil k llam P. Stevenson, chairman of the board, said: "Starting from scratch a year ago, the home loan bank sys tem on October 10, 1933, included 1766 members, represented by build ing and loan associations, mut ual savings banks and other home mortgage Institutions whose applications for membership have been approved by the board. Loans authorized by the regional banks amounted, on October 10, to 82,232,869, and actual loans ad vanced to member Institutions ag gregated $70,028,318. Such advances are being used largely by ohe borrow -'er members for granting mortgage loans to home owners for new build ing construction, repair and remod eling. To that extent the home loan banks are relieving the acute short age of home mortgage credit which had resulted from general economic conditions, creating new employment In the building Industries, and. in-! 4 cldtntally saving homes from fore-' closure of mortgages held by receiv- j ers of commercial banks and like in stitutions. On the same date, mem-1 bers had subscribed for - 155,382 shares of stock in the 12 regional home loan banks, entitling Viem to a line of credit from these banks, ag gregating approximately $184,562,407. 'Today, after only & year's activity, ten, of the twelve home loan banks are operating at a profit," Mr. Ste venson pointed out, adding that "es timates Indicate that by the end of the calendar year the system's re sources should reach a substantial figure even after deducting organiza tion expenses and the accumulated dividend payable to the federal gov ernment on its original Btock sub scription. The system will be self supporting. "In the past few months," Mr. Stevenson concluded, "much has been dope to remove public misun derstanding of t.ho entirely distinct activities of the two different feder al agencies operating in the field of home loan finance. But such mis understanding is still so widespread that the fact should be made clear that one of these agencies, the home loan bank system, was created by congress in July, 1932. as a perma nent mortgage credit reserve sys tem, dealing only with home mort- , gage lending Institutions and not In dividual borrowers or lenders. It functions through 12 regional banks, each serving a district comprising from two to nine states, it Is de signed to stabilize credit In the home mortgage field in periods of prosper ity as well as In times of depression and credit stringency. It aims to perform much the same function in home mortgage finance that the fed eral reserve system has rendered in the national commercial banking structure during the past 19 years. "The second of these two federal agencies, the Home Owners' Corpor ation, was created by congress in June, 1933. and is wholly separate In purpose from the Home Loan Bank. FILE FOR HER SALEM.

Dale Crowley, Imprisoned pastor of the strife-torn Baptist tabernacle here has halted, temporarily at least, peace negotiations between warring factions of the church. The attempt was made on the pastor last night aa he lay asleep In Jail where he Is held without bond on a charge of killing the church Janitor, W. J. Macmurdo, last week. A burst of pistol fire was directed at his cell but none ot the slugs struck the minister. . Two men were reported to have left hurriedly after the bullets were fired from an areaway between the Jail into the barred window of Crow ley's cell. The attack followed a statement by Crowley that ru deal had been made by lay members of the con gregation to sell the church to one of the factions. A movement was started last Bun day to settle the dlsputo which be gan two months ago following a dis agreement between Crowley and the Rev. Joe Jeff ers, evangelist, over a doctrinal question. Th tabernacle was built under Jef fcrs leadership following a dispute two years ago with tho Rev. Dow H. Heard, pastor of the Jonesboro First Bnpttet church. - During the Jef (era-Heard controversy national guardsmen were called out to main tain order. HOQUTAM, Wash.. Oct. 18.

Thr Little Pigs", Walt Dis ney's hit of the season, which U packing th movie houses all over the country, and becoming one ot the leading topics of everyday conversa tion, was suggested by a Medford boy to the Silly Symphony genius none other than Pinto Colvtg, .the son of Judge W. M. Colvlg of this city, who for many years has been working with Disney in Hollywood. Pinto In fact originated the catchy guide line of the whole show "Who's Afraid of tho Big Bad Wolf and this taken over by the famous Prank Churchill, became "The Three Little Pigs." Judge Colvlg declares the Idea came originally to Ptmo from his grandmother who was famous for her bedtime stories for children. Since the great success of the Big Bad Wolf, Pinto has been pestering his father to think up some of the stories that he himself has forgotten and re port them to him. The following extract from the Los Angeles Tlmea tells some interesting facta about the feature and the part Pinto played In It: "Those three capricious little pigs and a big. bad wolf have turned into a million dollar proposition. The sen sation of 1033. Walt Disney's silly Symphony, called "Three Little Pigs." Is breaking records In the country's theaters, has been recalled seven times In one local Instance and, at the present rate, w(ll total ai.000,000 ln,sales before the year I out, with $1,500,000 given as a two-year esti mate by distribution authorities. And, strangely enough, Disney was forced to "sell" the Idea of the tre mendously popular cartoon to his staff, which remained cold during two conference sessions. Third time proved the charm, however, and "Three Little Pigs" started to grow. Its unusual hit possibilities weren't foreseen; It was to be a typical (which means good) Disney Silly Symphony, but now look at It most people have done so several times. Eight months ago, approximately, the Mickey Mouse originator thought up the theme for the cartoon. Six months lator work began on It and Just about that time Pinto Colvlg, former newspaper man who had been working for Disney, suggested a line which was to become a theatrical, radio and sheet-music sensation. It ran like this: "Who's Afraid of the Big. Bad Wolf?"

The word was passed around that he was "home in bed with a cold." The New York Times Interpreted his absence m "a blow" to the lead ership of John F. Curry. Tammany chief, nnd John H. McCooey. the 'Hall's" Brooklyn ally. The absence, the paper aald, "was accoptPd by observers as conftrma- tion of the reports that the former jtovcrnor had refused to yield to Tammany's pleas that he come to the rescue . . .
