Home Loan Bank Plan Needs Caution in Public Hope
The Federal Home Loan Bank system is described as a credit and reserve mechanism aiding mortgage institutions, not a source of direct homeowner loans. It can relieve lending constraints, offer refinancing advice, and help locate additional funds, but direct loans are limited to 40 percent of value with amortization or 60 percent with a straight mortgage, and only if no other mortgage money is obtainable.

Reestablish Beckley Venereal Clinic to curb syphilis costs
The West Virginia Health Department argues for reopening the Beckley venereal disease clinic. It notes that venereal infections raise public hospital, almshouse, and care costs, with 53 167 19 dollars yearly for syphilitic insane and 30 000 dollars for hereditary syphilis at the Romney school. The clinic network serves food handlers and others, and clinic attendance has doubled since the low mood began as private care declines and prostitution rises.

Fame as a lecture draw hobbled by hard to hire figures
Louis J. Alber, a veteran lecture tour organizer, says only a few politicians from the 1932 campaign would draw paying crowds. He notes many big names refuse lectures, with Cal Coolidge and Taft among the hard-to-hire, and cites Mussolini as a hypothetical pick if available.
