RELIEF. LOAN RATE
STILL UNDECIDED
Interest Remains Biggest
Problem to Be Solved Pend
ing Signing of Bill.

BY the Associated Press.
What the toll shall be for Federal
loans to Stats, municipalities and pri-
vate firms remains to be announced
after President Hoover signs the S2.-
122 900 900 relief bill now on his desk.
on loans to Statss from the $500 900, 900
destitution fund at 3 per cent; 1t leaves
to directors Of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation the charges on
other advances.
Under the bill establishing the Re-
con-truction Corporation, directors
7lade loans to railroads at per cent;
chose to banks 5l2. There was moth
ng definite, however. to indicate IN ad-
vance what the levy would be en- new
borrowings for public works.
White House officials indicated the
President might be ready soon to sign
his home-loan bank bill es we'll as the
relief measure.
Interest Biggest Problem.
Fixing the rate of interest on the
loans now remains the biggest point to
be settled in administration of the great
unemployment aid plan. The rate to be
paid was question featuring frequent
inquiries at the corporation offices.
One provision of the new act was
TAKEN as meaning states Will DS III
position to obtain very favorable inter-
est rates. In providing loans for public
works the measure specifically authorizes
the corporation to bid for State bonds.
The section providing for destitution
loans and the one providing that the
Federal Government may loan States
money to match Federal aid highway
funds provides a means of liquidating
the debt over seven years. In both
instances the measure provides that
unless other arrangements are made
within two years the Federal Govern
nent shall withhold one-fifth of the
Annual Federal aid highway payments
each year for period of five years.
States Held Responsible.
Payments of money for direct relief
to any city or municipality may bo
made to city officials at the request Of
the governor of the State within which
it Is located The amount, however,
is deducted from the allotment to the
State and the State is held responsible
for it.
The question of regulations under
the relief bill has yet not been taken up
by the directors and bly will await
final action By the President
The corporation also has not de-
cided whether its ban on direct an
nouncements of loans granted will be
lifted as to restitution loans and loans
to States. The corporation must make
a report periodically to the House and
Senate. but heretofore it has refused
to make any loans public on its own
initiative.
The chances of anv one State getting
its full request for destitution or other
leans Immediately appeared remote
yesterday 1t was indicated unofhcially
that the directorate probably would
adopt the same general plan it and the
Interstate Commerce Commission had
adopted regarding railroads Applica-
tions for large sums will be received
and studied The directors probably
will approve sums to meet immediate
needs, but withhold action on the rest.

Father Of Accused Libby Holman Much
 Incensed Over Writ
Attorney Alfred Holman Is on His Way to North Caro- lima and He Is in Fighting Mood-Scores the State

Aboard Cincinnati -Winston-Sa- lem Train, Aug 5.-(UP)-Alfred Holman, attorney, was in a pug nacious mood to-day as he ap- preached Winston-Salem, N. C., to begin his battle to save his daugh- ter, Libby Holman Reynolds, from the consequences of an indictment that charges she murdered her hus- band, Smith Reynolds.
 He termed the indictments against his daughter and Albert Walker, Reynolds best friend, as a "piece of savagery.'
 Prom the evidence thus far deducted" he said, "there are no possible grounds for murder charge and I can attribute this action to nothing but the vernon of self seeking politicians who en- joy seeing their names on the front pages of the country. regardless of how much innocent blood they spill"
 Holman said he had not the slightest worry about the outcome of the trial and expressed confi- dence that hte case could be beat en easily. He says his present in- tentions are to waive extradition for Mrs Reynolds, but may decide to fight cxtradition to force North Carolina to disclose its grounds for indictment.
 "At present." he said, II cannot help but feel that the fate of in- nocent children might safely be placed in the hands of a reasonable minded body of men. On the other hand. there Is a question of possible prejudice in North Caro- lina."
 Holman did not enlarge on this subject of prejudice, saying he is not aware that any members of the Reynolds family has brought pressure to bear on authorities. He said he is not Acquainted with +. J. Reynolds, Jr, older brother of Smith Reynolds, who is on his way to Winston-Salem from South America with the reported purpose of pushing the investigation. Holman's only purpose, he says. is going to Winston-Salem now is to arrange bond for Mrs Rey-

Ramsay Macdonald : Has New Proposal
 For All War Debts

in mind and body.
 The prime minister's ideas were outlined as follows:
 As far as Britain i3 concerned, nothing will be done in the nature of an ultimatum to the United States or a united front against the United States.
 Whatever is done should be a solution satisfactory and equitable to the United States and to the Lausanne negotiations.
 The solution should be in the nature of ''co-operative agree ment" satisfactory mutually to the United States and Europe.
 The method of opening negotia- tions has not been decided, but in any. event., nothing will be done until after the American elections.
 Well-informed persons stressed the 'co-operative agreement" phrase and the fact that Britain will not participate in any united front.
 Premier Edouard Herriot of France, in a recent interview with the United Press, assured the Unit ed States that 1t need have no fear of united European bloc against the United States. He also em- phasized that nothing will be done about debts until after the election.
