HOUSE APPROVES
RECOVERY LOANS
,500,00O,OOO Bill Gives
R. F. c. Wide Powers
to Aid Business.

The Roosevelt administration vir.
tually received blank check" en-
abling it to lend 81 500, 900 900 to COM
bat the new depression when the
House passed yesterday, 339 to 6, a
bill increasing the loan powers Of the

The bill did not actually go to the

Senate had yet to act on a House
amendment, but it was considered it
soon would be sent to President Roose.
velt.
Although it grants wide powers to
the R. F. c. to help business, the ad-
mlnistration has not announced a spe.
chic program to apply the powers. A
committee Of officials, headed by Sec
retary Of the Treasury Morgenthau,
has been working on a lending pro-
gram
One major section of the bill per-
mits the r. F. c. to make long-term
loans to business. The agency is now
restricted to loans maturing in 1945.
The long-term credits may be of a
character that banks won't touch. In
the words Of Jesse H. Jones, the Gov
ernment can afford to take a chance
that the banks cannot"
Another important feature Of the
bill is that it revives the power of the
r. F. c. to make loans to States and
municipalities which demonstrate
ability to pay for work-giving projects.
The House bill omitted a Senate
clause which reiterated a section of
existing law requiring Interstate Com
merce Commission approval before the
r. F. c. could lend to railroads.
Representatives Mapes, Republican,
OF Michigan, charged this omission
was an attempt to circumvent the
l. c. c. which, he said, is one of the
few remaining agencies with a SEM
blance Of independence" Representa-
tive Ford, Democrat, of California re-
piled that the omitted clause was re
dundant and unnecessary"

SUFFRAGE UNITY
URGED ON GROUP
Michigan Park Citizens Are
Told of Need to Band
for Fight.

Wilbur S. Finch, president Of the

tion, urged members of the Michigan
Park Citizens Association to CO.
operate in the current city-wide move
for representation in the government
and local lf-government as he ad-
dressed the group in the Bunker Hill
School last night.
Emphasizing that in order to secure
complete enfranchisement for the Dis
trict citizens should band together
right now" Mr. Finch declared that
I'VE must be content with piecemeal
results which our present efforts
achieve until the eventual day when
our sum-total impression is made"
He stressed the need for support Of
a central suffrage body, pointing out
that "overorganization in many sep
arate groups, such as has been the
case in the District, is as unavailing
as lack of organization"
The Michigan Park group, which
generally disfavors local suffrage, re-
ferred the question of joining the
D. c. S. A. to the Executive Committee
for further consideration and a recon-
mendation.
Possibilities of converting the Is
acre plot of Turkey Thickett into an
outdoor boys club with a field house
were considered favorably and the
committee on the club project was
urged to consult c. Marshall Finnan,
superintendent Of National Capital
Parks. The matter will be presented

Others in Higher Age Bracket.
"A recent study of l,444 skilled
workers on w. P. A. projects showed
that those receiving higher grades
for quality Of work were also in the
higher age brackets. The average age
Of those graded as excellent was Al
years and the average of those
counted as inferior was Al years. The
survey further indicated that olde,
men produce more than younger men
at any set task. The period OF great
est productivity may lie somewhere
between Al and so. There is strong
physiological and psychological evil
dence that many men are just as pro-
flcient at so or so, and even more So
than their younger competitors.
TT is said that individuals above
40 years of age are bad accident risks.
A survey by the British Industrial
Health Research Board showed that
the man over 40 was more careful
and Conscientious than his younger
competitor. In a day when over
production is the rule, high pressure
methods whereby still more goods may
be produced are definitely unneces-
sary. Were the feverish pace with

AT the present time 26O out of
every 1000 persons living in the
United States are 40 years of age or
over. In 1860 statisticians estimate
that 36 per cent of the population will
be between the age of 40 and 65."
Pensioners Fret.
Even the business executive, the
physicians said. often is retired on
pension too early, thenceforward to
rust and fret himself to death. Labor
unions are pressing more and more
Tor compulsory retirement and pen
sions for their members in order to
give a chance to younger men. All
this, they insisted, accentuates the
need for more scientific study of
human deterioration and the actual
capacities of the old
Several diseases OF the middle-aged
are rapidly on the increase, they
pointed out. Among these are diabetes,
OF which there are million victims in
the United States and a potential mil
lion more. Closely associated with
this, In some way not yet understood
is heart disease, which is the chief
cause of death. One way of prolonging
the present span of life, in the face of
such degenerative maladies, they
stressed, Is through diet.
"A scientifically planned diet" they
said, will delay the ravages of old age
AS whole milk is the ideal food for first
childhood, so it can be accepted as the
best single food for old age. AS there
is frequently tendency toward mild
anemia in later years, the use of liver
twice weekly and of iron-rich foods
will tend to maintain the level Of the
blood. For sluggish digestive powers
vitamin 5 will be Of value. There
should be a minimum fat content to
