record-breaking s1,06O,5OO,Os3 farm
bill to aid the 100000 persons
engaged in agriculture today await
ed final congressional action in the
Senate.
Coupled with the recently enact
ed mandatory government crop
loans act, intended to peg prices
OF major crops, the bulky appro-
priation bill was expected to give
farmers their most prosperous year
since the depression, and possibly
since the World War era.
Senate leaders said they expect
ed speedy approval-probably this
week--for the measure which wss
hammered into anal form after
more than three months of legisla-
tive maneuvering.
In addition to the 81 $50, 500 .063
appropriated from the Treasury,
the measure also ordered 3270. 0o0,.
900 in loans from the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, and
provided about s20,O00,O00 OF re-
appropriations and trust funds.
In all, about $3.50, 100000 will be
available for the far flung agricul.
tural programs.
Biggest single item was the usual
$500 100000 for soil conservation
payments to some 100000 pro-
ducers OF cotton, wheat. corn. rice
and tobacco who comply with the
farm program.
Next largest was $4,000 900

The Red army acknowledged to-
day that Germany's blitzkrieg In
vaders had captured three frontier
towns after pushing 10 to Is miles
into Russian territory. but declar-
ed two other Nazi columns had

The Soviet high command as
serted the Germans had made no
important gains elsewhere and re-
ported the capture OF 5000 Nazi
soldiers, destruction of 800 tanks
and the downing OF 127 Nazi
planes.
Apparently conforming to its
usual policy OF dealing only in gen.
eraIities until able to announce
a spectacular success. the German
high command said merely that
Nazi advance was proceeding
everywhere according TO schedule.

as vague.
