HOOVER H0ME-LOAN
BANK BILL IS KILLED
BY Vote IN SENATE
Administration Measure tossed
on Junk Heap; New Plan
Is Offered

Washington, July 7.-(AP)-The
administrations home loan bank
program was on the junk heap
Thursday. replaced by a plan that
would allow the reconstruction cor.
poration to perform these functions
Consequently, the senate was
ready to give consideration to a
rider proposed bv Senator Frazier
(R. N. d.. to refinance the farm
mortgage debt at one and one-half
percent interest. This shuttled aside
for a little while a vote on the
Amendment by Senator Bingham
(Rep.. Conn.,, to legalize 3.2 per-
cent beer.
Then. too, Bingham conceded that
when the beer proposal was brought
up Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic leader, likely would sue
coed in referring it to the judiciary
committee.
The substitute for the administra-
TONS home loan bank bill was
offered by Senator Couzens, (Rep.
Mich.), adopted and retained on a 81
to 50 vote against reconsideration.
It would let the corporation make
loans up to $4OO, 100000 to building
and loan associations, cooperative
banks, homestead associations, saw
ings banks, trust companies and
other banking institutions.
Farm Bodies Want It
The Frazier measure, Endorsed by
the national farmers union and
other agriculture organizations, was
introduced some months ago, report
ed on favorably by the agriculture
committee and put on the calendar.
1t provides for issuing bonds and
currency to supply the funds neces-
sary to refinance the debts, with
loans to be made up to 80 percent
of the farm property's value. The
loans would be amortized at the rate
Of III percent yearly, also.
Frazier said he believed the three
and one half billion dollars allowed
under his measure would be suffi-
cient to take care of the existing
farm mortgage indebtedness.
1.-THE statement has been made
that the intermediate credit banks
and the federal land banks are func-
tioning in the interest of the farm
err" he said. II hold in my hand
a blank chattel mortgage which I
understand is sent to farmers who
fail to meet the payments on their
loans. It calls for interest payment
Of 8 percent. / am told that this
is the custom Of those institutions
Sc up to help the farmer. With
pr sent prices for farm products, the
farmer has no chance to get rid of
his indebtedness at such rates Of in
terest."
Frazier said his bill had been OPP
posed by both the secretary Of the
treasury and the secretary Of agri-
culture.

proximately 10 miles northwest OF

damage but farmers in the affected
area said it would reach thousands
Of dollars.

other states of severe damage from

DEMOCRAT LEADERS
ARE CRATIF|ED BY
Smith STATEMENT
Declaration He Will Support
Ticket Wins Applause at
Washington

Washington, July 7.-(P)-Expres.
sions of pleasure without even a note
of surprise continued Thursday ir
Democratic discussions of Alfred E
, Smiths announcement that he will
support the party ticket and one OF
their number met criticism of the re-
, forestation program advanced by
their presidential candidate with the
statement that it is quite all right.
Meanwhile, the only formal emana-
ton from the newly-opened Repub-
lican campaign headquarters in Chi
cago was an announcement by Eve
rett Sanders, national commit e e
chairman, that Secretary Ogden l..
Mills OF the treasury would begin his
party's drive in speech at Boston
Monday.
Vice President Curtis let it be
known at Washington that he would
be ready to stump the country again
this year If the G.. o. p. councils
wanted him to-.
Little public attention was given
by Democrats to Smiths belief that
lit is not practical, in our country,
to start third party at this time"
although there were numerous pri-
vate talks of what that might mean
in the future.
From many. including Speaker
John Garner. Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt's ticket-mate. there came
expressions of qualification. Gamers
two-sentence statement just about
summarized the general sentiment
among Democrats.
when anybody says they are going
to support the ticket I am happy to
know it," he said. Il have felt all
the time that Governor Smith would
support the ticket"
But stronger words were applied by
Representative Jones, Texas Demo-
crat who heads the house agriculture
committee, to Secretary Hydes wi
sionary and chimerical' summary Of
the Roosevelt reforestation plan.
The agriculture secretary, close
friend Of President Hoover, had said
reforestation could employ only a
negligible number OF men since one
billion of them could plant three bill
Lion trees in one day.
THE secretary, as everyone knows,
understands more about politics than
he does about agriculture, Jones
statement said.
Farmer Hyde has an apparent
idea that reforestation consists OF 60
ing to nursery, buying a seeding
and planting it. He overlooks en-
tirely the great problems of flood
control and soil erosion -. If Sec
rotary Hyde did not hold such a high
position In our government, his lack
OF information expressed in such
elementary language -. would be
amusing"
There were another couple of notes
OF harmony in the Democratic fold.
Governor Joseph B. Ely of Massa-
chusetts, who worked for Smiths
nomination, approved the latter's an
nounced intention of supporting the
party ticket. Newton D. Baker said
he would be loyal to Roosevelt.

doubtable, made cruise to the West
Indies in 1880 without mishap.
The ministry Of marine issued this
statement describing the disaster:
THE Promethee was making a trial
trip on the surface. Suddenly she
sank in depth of about Is fathoms,

The seven who were saved were
thrown into the sea from the super
structure as the Promethee went
down. A fishing boat picked them up.
The Promethee was one of five
submarines in the 1927 building pro-

The sinking of the Promethee was
the second major submarine disaster
in French naval history.
The first occurred October 3, 1928,
when the French submarine Ondine
was in collision with a Greek steam
er off Portugal. Forty-three lives
were lost in this crash.
