merit of a branch of the Federal
Court in Westbury was passed by
the House of Representatives last
week.
The bill, H.R. 18126, sponsored
by Congressman John W. Wydler
(R-Nassau County) was called up
under an unusual procedure by
the Chairman of the House
J u d i c i a r y Committee,
Congressman Emanuel Celler.
This unanimous consent
procedure allowed the bill to be
passed at once, without approval
in the subcommittee and full
committee. It makes possible the

hard times.
Said Marino, "There are ap­parently
some unscrupulous real
estate speculators who have
made a career of taking ad­vantage
of these homeowners
many of whom have substantial
equity in their homes but do not
want to be forced to move out of
their homes, uprooting heir
families and lives, to meet the
requirements of their creditors.
x The committee heard a number
of witnesses who explained
various ways they had been
bilked, out of their homes by
speculators who purchased
mortgages which were in default,
liens, judgments, and other legal
maneuvers where they thought
they could reap a' huge profit,
i isually these operators try to get
in and out as quickly as possible.
However, in some cases they are
apparently content to sit back
and wait until the taxpayer seeks
