WALLACE IS SURE
OF WHEAT LOANS
Says Crop Estimates Will
Make Mandatory Advance
in Farm Act Obvious,
BY the Associated Press.

BY Inc Associated Press.
Secretary Wallace said today that
private crop estimates made it OBJ
vious that mandatory wheat loan pro-
visions of the new Farm Act would
be placed in operation.
Mr.. Wallace. calling at the White
House, said he left memorandum on
the wheat loan situation with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
1t Is obvious from private crop es-
Inmates" the Secretary told reporters,
that when the Federal crop estimate
comes out about July II the crop will
be shown Of sufficient size to make
necessary the mandatory loans on
wheat
Under the farm law, Mr.. Wallace
said, the loan will be So per cent of
the s1.l4 parity price, or about 50
cents.
Later. at the Agriculture Depart
ment, Secretary Wallace explained
that the minimum rate was 50 per
cent. The law also provides a
maximum loan rate of rs per cent of
parity.
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration officials said announcement of
the loan was not expected until after
the Governments July wheat crop
report is released next Monday.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1938-07-05

the rate would be cents an hour ex-
cept perhaps for meters in front Of
banks, where the rate might be S cents
for IS or 20 minutes.
When the Commissioners began
their private hearing on the case, the
District purchasing officer. Marion c.
Hargrove. had received only three
sealed bids.
During recent weeks, Mr.. Van Duzer
has received samples of the various
types Of parking meters in use and
ne sent them to the Bureau of Stand
ards to be checked for operation. The
specifications we're drawn as a result
OF these examinations. Some of the
meters were to be fully automatic and
some to be manually operated, in that
lever was to be turned by the mo-
toriSt after he had inserted a nickel
to pay for the use of the space.
Under the terms of the section of
the Districts 1899 Appropriation Act.
which authorized the Commissioners
to have meters installed experimental
ly, the extent of the plan was limited
to the perimeters of four normally
sized squares. Mr.. Van Duzer found
this would amount to 5000 linear feet
OF curb space and, allowing a space
OF 20 feet per parked car, bids were
advertised for 80 parking meters.

SCHOOL LUNCH
BILLS ARE PAID
Audit Complete, Officials
Decide to Disburse
Committees Money.

The Commissioners today agreed to
pay all bills on the free lunch for
needy school children out of the re-
mainder of the receipts of the fund

These old bills, the largest of which
is for milk purchased for the children
by the Permanent Committee, total
$l,982.59. The Commissioners agreed

Boyle agreed to allow the District to
make an audit of the receipts and
expenses of the Permanent Commit
tee. This word was given to Mrs
Boyle last winter. After some cor
respondence she and her committee
directors agreed some weeks ago and
the audit was made.

At the same time she said she was
reluctant from the first to attempt to
raise charity funds by holding bene-
fetal balls. performances. etc, but that
the nature Of the emergency justified
the effort. She is convinced, she de-
clared. that money cannot be raised

many would do so.
The change will not affect the group

1T wasn't mainly our contributions

treaty, entitled "An accord among the

linked as one party to the treaty.
Hitherto Japan has insisted Manchu-

good relations between the countries,
exchange Of diplomatic ENJOYS, stations
Of consular agents and regulation Of
