loans at an increasing rate, Melvin
w. Buster, assistant regional dir
ectCr in charge of rural rehabilita-
ton, informed P. A. Thaanum,
Imperial county agent, Thursday.
Of loans totaling $3,958,000 in
region nine, embracing California,
Arizona, Nevada and Utah, $50, 500
has been repaid to the government.
Buster said. In California, where
$222,730 was borrowed, $5883 has
been repaid, he added.
The rural rehabilitation program
has been established less than
year, and many of the loans were
made this year, Buster declared,
indicating that many borrowers
have paid installments before they
became due.
This indicates" he said, that
numerous farm families on relief
or close to that economic status
last year are once more earning
their livelihood from the land.

FLORIDA SET

Lashing Hurricane
Menaces Capital
Of State

TAMPA, Fla, July 80.
(UP)-A hurricane gaining
in intensity whirled up the
west Florida coast today
directly toward Apachicola
and Tallahassee, the state capital.
Weather bureau hurricane experts
predicted a wind approaching 30
miles an hour would strike the coast
approximately at Apalachicola,
which has a population of more
than 3,OOO,y this afternoon. If the
storm continued it's course it might
hit Tallahassee, city of 1000, to-
night.
Early today Apalachicola was
feeling effects of the onrushing dis
turbance. The wind had risen from
a virtual calm and was increasing
steadily.
Town residents and fishermen
whose small hamlets dot the north
western coast of the state boarded
up building windows, ran boats far
up the Apalachicola river, and
sought refuge in cellars and the
strongest buildings against the most
threatening wind Florida has ex-
perienced since the hurricane of
last Labor Day that killed ATS.
The disturbance started Monday
in the Bahamas. The storm blew
over southern Florida early yester-
day at a velocity of only 60 miles
an hour and with slight damage.
Out of the Gulf of Mexico the
whirling area of disturbed air turn
ed northward and grew in force.
All day it moved north parallel
to the coast and approximately 80
miles from land. Central winds of
the storm increased speed to 20
miles an hour in the early evening
and had passed rs miles an hour
at midnight.

Onstrating that little details like
laws and the edicts of congress
mean nothing whatever to folks
who are interested in their jobs.
They are the members of the
staff of Joseph B. Eastman, fed
eral coordinator of transportation.
His office was abolished by con-
gress a month and a half ago. It's
still operating-illegally perhaps
but full blast.
Situation Ironic
The situation is ironic East
man has $4,000 to pay his clerks
but he can't spend nickel of it.
No telling what will happen to
THE money. Nobody wants it;
nobody but the clerks who need
it and can't have it.
Some of the workers got jobs
elsewhere in the government, but
were loaned back to Eastman, to
work for him for nothing Some
haven't made cent for their
labor since June 16. Eastman has
been lending them money to live
on.
He's still earning $4,000 year

being transportation coordinator,

as we'll as fact. The situation Is
so muddled that his experts can't
even use government franks for
their letters. They've got to- buy
stamps-and they've no money to
buy them With
All this doesn't bother the hard
hitting, gray-haired Eastman, one
of the most thoroughly respected
of the New Dealers. Neither does
it bother his assistants. They've
got work to do-important work
and they intend to finish it, even
though they're ghosts insofar as
Congress is concerned.
Strictly Illegal
When the office was abolished
and salaries were stopped, East
mans specialists were in the
midst of preparing an analysis OF
transportation subsidies. For the
first time in the history of the
country a group of experts was
making a far reaching inquiry
into the matter of the government
paying in big chunks to air lines,
steamship companies and other
carriers.
The report is almost finished
now. 1t will be strictly illegal
when published, but undoubtedly
will have large influence upon
congress and the administration in
developing future subsidy policies.
