Civil and military authorities
clashed today over the detention

Chief of Police Patrick refused

officer of Camp Kearny. Captain
Jacobs instructed his attorney to
institute proceedings for his re-

I ARM CREDITS
BILL PASSES
SENATE
Capper Measure, to Aid Agri-
culture, Now Goes to
+ House.

The first of the Administrators
measures to extend more liberal
credit facilities to American farm.
ers-the Capper farm credits bill
passed the Senate today and now
goes to the House.
Amendments Defeated.
The bill was passed without a
record vote a few seconds after
the Senate defeated motion by
Senator Stanfield of Oregon to send
the measure back to the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee.
An amendment by Senator Stan
field to reduce the capital stock OF
the credit corporations from $780,
900 to- 500, 900 was defeated without
a record vote.
The Capper bill, which was
drafted with the aid of Eugene
Meyer, director of the War Finance
Corporation, provides for setting up
of private rural credit and redis-
count corporations, under the SUI
pervision of the Comptroller Of the
Currency. It extepHSs from six to
nine months the period in which
agricultural paper may be redls-
counted and provides for acceptance
by Federal Reserve Banks OF notes
of these agrarian corporations.
Extends Loan Limits.
A minimum capitalization of
$3.50, 900 is fixed under the bill for
each of the credit corporations. 1t
extends to $4,000 the limit on
loans by Federal land banks, and
prolongs the life of the War FL
nance Corporation for one year.
Capper's bill was supported by
Secretary of Treasury Mellon on
the grounds it would draw capital
and credit from available sources
for use where needed by the agri-
cultural and livestock industries,
and would accomplish this on
business basis without depending
on Government money or tax
exemptions"
support also was given to the
bill by leading livestock and farm
organizations.
