which carried Pauleys side Of the
oil fight.
Transaction Illegal
Republicans opposing Pauley's
confirmation TO the Navy post
brought up the 1899 referendum
flight In an effort to show that the
former Democratic National Com
mittee treasurer engaged in ques-
tionable and possibly illegal trans
actions.
Sens. owen Brewster, (R.-Me)
and Charles W. Tobey, CR-N.H0,
made a point Of the fact that n
ancial statements Of the campaign
committee showed no contributions
by Pauley or any OF the big Oil
interests.
The financial statements listed
Harold Judson, assistant Solicitor
General Of the United States who
was then a Los Angeles attorney,
as the sole contributor and credited
him with putting up $3.50, 500.
Judson said he merely acted as q

He said the walkout took place
when ron-union employee was
promoted over 2 union workers with

expired Dec. 81,
Beine said that the informal
survey of heads OF 50 unions, rep
resenting 250,000 telephone workers,
revealed that the larger unions
definitely tended in the direction

on the strike issue probably be

Long Session Held
The executive committee OF the

similar December gathering in Mill
waukee at which time the NFTW
set up a national policy demanding
a $40 a week raise, IS cent an
hour minimum, and return TO the
40-hour work week.
A telephone strike called last Jan.
10 was delayed 80 days to permit
local unions to file strike notices.
Plans for the walkout have been
drawn up by the NFrW strategy
committee and the Federation's az
filiates awaited only a strike order

Western Electric Employees ASso-

been on strike in 81 plants in New

circulated among strikers and mer-

The
VETERANS
Corner

The right of veterans to obtain
guaranty or insurance of loans is
to continue for 10 years after the
officially declared termination of
World War II. No veteran should
use the right until he is convinced
he has a good buy, advises the Vet
Grams Administration.
Further. the veteran should use
only so much of the guaranty or in
surance benefit as is necessary to
obtain the loan he wishes. The
loan guaranty or insurance provision
of the CT Bill is valuable asset.
Don't squander it.
A loan guaranteed or insured is
not a gift. The money must be
repaid. The veteran should take
every precaution to make sure that
the loan will be benefit and not
burden to him.
Some of the most frequently asked
questions about veterans loans, fol-
low:
Q. Can a veteran get a guaran-
teed loan under the provisions OF
the amended Servicemen's Read
justment Act Of 1914 to pay off a
debt in good standing?
A. No.
Q. Can veteran get guaranteed
loan to pay off debt that is past
due?
A. Yes, under certain conditions.
| For full information see your lender.
| @. What papers should a veteran
take to the lender when he goes to
apply for loan?
A. Original discharge papers or
certificate of eligibility.
@. For what term of years can a
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1946-10-25

-uaranteed loan be made?
a. A. home or business real es-
ate. Is years, a farm real estate
Dan 30 years, and a non-reaI estate
oan, 10 years.
@ What interest rate is charged?
A. The interest rate on a guar
anteed loan cannot exceed per
cent. The interest on montreal
estate loan which is to be insured
for the lender instead of guaranteed
NAV be as much as $40 percent.
@. What loans can be insured
BY the Veterans Administration?
A. ANY loan eligible for guaran-
V when made by the supervised
lender.
O. What happens if the loan
payments are not made?
"a. If payments are not made
when due the loan is IN default
and the lender takes such action as
provided in the loan agreement and
the State laws and regulations.
@. What benefit does the veteran
get from having the Veterans Ad-
ministration guarantee the loan?
A. A guaranty by the VA means
that the credit of the united States
Government stands behind the guar
anteed part of the loan. Inc secur-
itv a veteran can offer a lender
is increased by the amount OF the
guaranty.
@. Will veteran be able to get
2 guaranteed loan indefinitely?
A. No. Application must be made
within 10 years from the Official
end of the war.
G. Are there any charges for OBJ
tanning a guaranteed loan?
A. Commissions brokerage ices
or other charges for obtaining a
guaranty cannot legally be charged
to the veteran. Those fees usually
paid by the borrower, such as ap-
praisal, title search, recording fees
etc., may be charged against the
veteran.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1946-10-25

Yes. This is a matter between
tho veteran and the lender.
q Is the guaranty privilege Oh

amount when the Indebtedness %

A. No. ,d uife

e s jointly and so increase e.ood sa'
on,ount which may be guaranteeo'
A. Yes.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1946-10-25

@. Is there any case where the
guaranteed portion of a loan may
be more than so percent of the
loan?
A. Yes. Where some other Fed
eral agency such as FILA 70 FSA
makes guarantees or insures a loan
may be fully guaranteed.
@. May several veterans use the
guaranty to acquire property to-
gether?
A. Yes. Several veterans have
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1946-10-25

grouped together for loan.
@. May veteran purchase real
propertv with a non-veteran and
obtain guaranty?
A. Yes. But the amount of the
loan on which the guaranty is based
is in proportion to the veterans
interest in the property.
@. May lender require from
the veteran security in addition to
the property being purchased?

'Pole-Treating Plant
Being Built At
Troy

| A pole-treating project which will
give employment to approximately $50
to 300 men is now under construction
at Troy The plant is owned by e. E.
Drury & Sons.
The plant, which will be situated
in the northwest part of the town, is
designed by the General Engineering
corporation of Minneapolis. Walter w.
Wolfe, mechanical engineer represent
ing the firm, is now in Troy supervis-
ing the construction of the plant.
Laying out Of the area and prepar-
ing for the actual construction is now
in progress. 1t is expected that con-
struction will begin as soon as ma
terials can be obtained probably with
in the next two or three weeks.
The new plant will be set up for
treatment of Western Red Cedar and
lodgepole pine poles. There will be
four butt-treating watts with an out.
put of 400 poles per treating cycle.
The length of time for the cycle is
from six to eight hours on butt treat
ment There will be two full-length
treating watts consisting of one 40 feet
in length and the other rs feet The
capacity of the full-length tanks is
approximately 500 35-foot poles per
treating cycle. The length of time in
the full length treating cycle is Az

The plant will creosote. for butt
