IkulcoK. White, Jennie E. HOLC Assures Square Deal to Mortgage Body Will Offer Its Properties Only at Fair Values, Official Tells Bureau Assurance that properties owned by the Home Owners Loan Corporation will be offered only at reasonable values and in quantities the market can absorb was given pri vate mortgage holders by Col. Har old Lee, deputy general manager in charge of property management of the HOLC, last night, at the annual meeting of Group Five Mortgage Information Bureau, in the Hotel Bossert. Charles H.

Place, vice president of the Willlamsburgh Savings Bank, was re-elected chairman of the group, which includes Brooklyn, Queens and Nassau Counties. Mr, Place, who started his banking career in 1900 as a clerk in the bank where he now holds an executive position, was previously a member of the bureau since its organization in 1934. Outlines Agency's Policies Colonel Lee, addressing representatives of local savings banks and other institutions holding mortgages, reviewed the history of the HOLC from the time it refinanced more than a million home owners and outlined the policies it now is following in the liquidation of the properties it has been forced to acquire. "The corporation does not propose to dump on the market the homes which it is obliged to take over," Colonel Lee said. "It would be a short-sighted policy to stimulate a new depression of real estate values by indulging in forced sale of properties.

Colonel Lee cited the benefits by the HOLC to home owners faced with foreclosure and to financial institutions whose mortgage assets have become frozen. He said the financial situation of the country had felt the stabilizinsr effect of the HOLC's "gigantic refunding program." Committee Members Elected Members of the executive committee elected Include Howard C. Peck, vice president of the Brooklyn Savings Bank; former Municipal Court Justice Edward A. Richards, president of the East New York Savings Bank; George C. Johnson, treasurer of the Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn, and James H.

Mr. Miller was known as a man with a keen sense of humor and a lucid and compelling manner of speaking. His humorous vein is perhaps best demonstrated by the following incident he recalled during an interview in 1928.

"I was a struggling young lawyer," he said, "when my chance came to defend a man for murder. I was appointed by the courts and set about the preparation for the trial. "Although I did not go to the seashore, I emulated Demosthenes of old by visiting an open lot on Eastern Parkway, inhabited at times by goats, and there, orating to my heart's content. I addressed the jury (a pile of old tin cans and other rubbish) and swayed them with my flow of flowery language. Occasionally I turned to the judge (played, I recall, by a broken packing case) to drive home some point of law.

Pleaded Case in Chambers "Well, the day of the trial finally came around and when the case came before Supreme Court Justice Lewis J. Fawcett it developed that the law had seized the wrong person." Mr. Miller said that he felt as though his preparation had gone for naught but he prevailed upon the 3n Qjfrmorfam CARNEY In memory of our clear father. JOSEPH died March 11, 1936. Masses offered.
