to Conference

WASHINGTON, April 10. -.

ris' dream of electricity on every
American farm to tighten the
drudge of tasks now done by hand
moved a step nearer reality yes
terday when the house approved

$1,O0O,00O,OOO ten-year program
but consented to an arrangement
by which the RFC would loan
$5O,0OO,00O a year for the next
two years, after which $4O,O0O,-
900 would be appropriated annu-
ally for the next eight years. The
house changed this feature to
provide RFC participation tor =
one year only, with $4,000, 200
appropriations annually for nine
years.
The bill would empower the
rural electrification administrator
to make two types Of loans, one
for generating plants and trans
mission systems, and the other
for farm wiring and the purchase
of appliances.
The power plant loans would
be made to localities now with.
out central station service and
would be for Is years at 3 pei
cent. Loans to individual farm.
ers would be under terms determ'
med nv the administrator.
Passage of the bill cleaned up
important pending business OF
the house and it adjourned over
the Easter holidays. to meet again
Monday noon.
Meanwhile the senate took less
than 10 minutes to authorize the
REC to loan $50,000,000 for re-
construction of property damag-
ed NV floods, and sent the mea-
sure back to the house for con-
currence in minor amendments.
The loans would make possible
repair of sewage irrigation, gas
and electric systems damaged by
floods. =,
The senate also authorized the
Federal Housing admir- istration
to insure banks against losses

ertv owners for earthquake, tor

but by a large majority, the club
