Tamalpais while taking part in the VHF (very high frequency) contest of the American Radio Relay League, He'll be alone, but not i lonely, in his 34-hour vigil.

KFRC-News Wheel :30, Question Time Lane Financing For Homes Gets Tough CHICAGO HF American home buyers expecting another boom of money financing probably have a long wait, according to the president of the United States Savings and Ixian League. Roy M.

Marr said that until the past two years, many of the homes builf since the close of World War II were sold with no down payments or with fractional down payments. it is highly unlikely that we will see much of this type of home financing for some time to Marr said. He urged that various segments of the housing industry assume the responsibility of informing the American public that the unusually easy home financing prevalent in the decade after World War II v.as exception, not the When credit is easy, he said, houses are sold more readily and not enough attention is given to keeping building costs in line. The higher costs are usually added to the mortgage balance. But the ultimate effect of somewhat tighter credit in times of prosperity, is to produce better values for the home buyer, Marr said, and give him more for his money.

Cities Called Upon For Financing Of Public Facilities CHICAGO (IF The United States Savings and Loan League has called on local municipalities to finance the construction of public facilities through long-term bond issues rather than by extracting from home builders. The ieague, in a resolution passed at its 65th annual convention here, charged that such special concessions placed on home builders, and in turn, on a relatively few home buyers. said the resolution, the immediate effect of increasing housing costs and prices, and thus retarding home building and It stressed that public facilities such as parks and schools usually are open to the community at large, and thus should be financed by the entire community. Planners Approve Three Variances Three variances were approved last night by the Sausalito Planning Commission in a special meeting at the city hall. Chairman Victor E.

Hecht said today. The applications for variances by Mr. and Mrs. Sol Silver on Sausalito boulevard. Mr.

and Mrs. E. Nash on Wolfback ridge, and Views Unlimited will be recommended favorably to the city council, he said. Firemen Elect At Homestead Ernest Roberts, veteran secretary of the Homestead Valley Firemen's Club, was advanced to chairman for 1958, replacing Fred Foss, in an elect i 0 Thursday at the Homestead firehouse. New secretary will be David Henriod, son of Mel Henriod, treasurer of the Homestead Board of Fire Commissioners.

Justin (Bob) Garris was reelected treasurer. Chester Kirby continues as chief of the department (Continued from page 1) more than 30 schools affiliated with it in an area extending from California to Oklahoma. The Allied Schools gives its own white, green, brown and black belt ratings. But it emphasizes judo for self defense instead of for competition. And Esposti, now 30, back on active duty with the Marines as a recruiting sergeant, has 60 boys starting at eight years old enrolled in his own Marin School of Self Defense, which occupies the whole lower floor of his home at 1001 Magnolia avenue, Larkspur.

ALL ELEMENTALS Esposti teaches his pint-sized pupils all the elements of judo: Karrate (Japanese boxing, in which one strikes with the side of the hand); nage (throwing holds 1 gvaku (holds with which to render an opponent helpless after he is thrown). After his pupils have about six months training, he teaches them the dangerous strangle holds, which can be fatal. it inviting trouble to teach such youngsters such lethal self defense? it make of them? Quite the contrary, insists Esposti, who says he has only had to use his own judo training once in his life so far was he adds drily.) MAKE BILLIES training make he boys need to go throwing other kids around to prove what they can do. You prove yourself on the mat every day when Further, he declares, a bully stick with The one who does stick with the training, and who profits by it, according to the Larkspur teacher, is the boy who an underlying inferiority complex, the one who sure of These boys acquire self-confidence from the training, he insists. They never need be afraid any more that they cannot protect themselves.

And their self-confidence is sufficient that they need not push anyone around to prove themselves. FAIR RESULTS Judo training for children, says Esposti, produces four beneficial results: First, it teaches them the art of failing so they will not get injured in tumbles; second, it gives them self-conifdence; third, it builds health through exercise; fourth, as they progress in the study, they learn leadership and responsibility. After training, a 70-pound boy can toss Esposti himself, who weighs 175 over his hip in the approved judo throw. Esposti has taught judo to more than 600 Marin boys since he started the school. And only twice, he says, has he had to call down any of his pupils for using their knowledge of judo to start a fight.

JUDO SUPERIOR? As to the old question of whether judo is superior to boxing or catch-as-catch-can wrestling as a means of self- defense, Esposti refuses to go out on a limb for his favorite, But he says: does more than any other method to equalize weight between And he tells of a junior college years old, 200 pounds but lacking in knowledge of self-defense and afraid of came to him recently for training. The youth was afraid of a rival. The youth attended one lecture. He was to return for private a bit too large for classes with boys of 8 to 14. But instead, he showed up next day to say his problem was solved.

What he learned at the lecture had been sufficient. He had subdued his rival without striking a blow. His self confidence was immense. obituaries Cartoonist Harry Peter Dies In N.Y. Harry G.

Handicapped Care, Training Can Be Exempt From Tax WASHINGTON U0 ruling that special training and care for the mentally and physical ly handicapped are deductible as a medical expense on income tax returns was formalized yesterday by the Internal Revenue Service. The 1RS bulletin said the deductible costs may include board and lodging in an institution other than a hospital if the person is there because medical care or special schooling is available.

McMahan was known throughout the state and nation because of his efforts to publicize Santa Venetia, a dream development of homes along a system of canals. He was honored by his profession, serving as president of the California State Realty Federation, forerunner of the present California Real Estate Assn. His ambitious Santa Venetia as a Venice of the modern world was more than a dream.

Contracts were let in 1914 for worth of work and construction began on some six miles of canals. There were a few eager purchasers of lots as the canal system grew in the next two years, but sales did not meet expectations. He needed further financial backing, and when he could not get it for Santa Venetia, its three buildings from the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition were left standing alone. Its canals, crumbling to ruin in succeeding years, still serve small boat owners of subsequent subdivisions. For the past 18 years, McMahan has lived at the Winton Hotel in San Francisco, until hospitalized two weeks ago.

He was born 111 Knoxville, Tenn. Funeral arrangements are pending at Frank J. Keaton Mortuary in San Rafael, which was advised of the death this morning by his son. McMahan's death followed by two weeks the conclusion of a series of articles on his Santa Venetia project in the Marin Magazine.
