bill today. Immediately afterward the
corporation Is expected to formulate
regulations under which applications are

Although no method Of procedure
would be outlined now by the corpora
ton. 1t was regarded there as likely that
the directorate would waive its rule that
loan applications must be made to the

action.

of Illinois have been in Washington sew
eral days and have discussed their situ-
alton with directors of the corporation

asking that $45, ,000. 900 be made imme-
diately available for Pennsylvania.
