STATE TO GET.
RELIEF LOAN
SOON, BELIEF
Corporation Officials Explain
Their Stand; Aware of
Distress Needs

While the second telegram
from Governor Pinchot Of
P ennsyl vania, denouncing
President Hoover and the Re-
construction Finance Corpora
ton, for delay in the relief
loan asked for his State, was
being received at the White
House, much of the informa-
ton which the R. F. G. has
insisted upon as an essential
preliminary was being re-
ceived, it became known to-
day.
If the information is all that
was sought, the relief loan to the
keystone State will be put
through with all possible expedi-
ton, it was said.
See Early Action
Gardner CoWleS, ST., one of the
r. F. I. directors, said the corpo-
ration was anxious to avoid any
controversy with any State of.
ficial. He said:
1--WE are hoping to get this
matter in shape so that we can
intelligently act on PennsyIvan-
las case" ''The Governor as
Sumed from the first that his
certificate of need was Suffici-
ent. But the board takes the
stand that it is merely the trus-
tee for this fund of the taxpay.
erS' money. If there has been
criticism from any State except
Pennsylvania it has not come
to me-"
Wilson Mccarthy, another d.
rector, supported Cowles' state
ment.
The corporation is anxious
to give Pennsylvania what it
actually needs and close the
case" he said.
Aware of Distress
It was also emphasized that
officials Of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation have been
fully aware all along that much
distress existed in Pennsylvania,
but that they have been just as
aware of the duty imposed upon
them by law to obtain fullest in
formation on what demands for
relief have been made in the past
on the State and what the prob
able future demands will be.
1t was pointed out today by a
responsible official of the corpor.
alton that one application from
a State governor for $10,OO0,0OO
was called down to 81 100000, en-.
tirely with the consent Of the
governor, after the relief needs of
his State were analysed.
The main requirement which
Pennsylvania has failed to fill up
until now, it was said, is is a
record of what relief has been un.
dertaken by the State and the
counties and cities for the past
several months, the reasons for
their inability to continue this re-
lief, and the probable supple
mental relief to which R. F. c.
funds would be devoted, and in
what amounts.
