Loans to Veterans for Farm Purchases
And Operating Costs Reach High Peak

Setting new high in Farm Secur-
ity administration loans to veterans,
5,4OO ex-servicemen we're financed
in purchase of farm operating
equipment or family farms within
a two-month period, according to
figures released by department of
agriculture.
The loans, made during March
and April, constitute nearly third
of the total number the agency
has approved for veterans during
the last two years, FSA Admin
istrator Dillar B. Lasseter an
nounces.
Declaring that the agency expects
the record lending to continue, Las
setter reports that more than 10000
veteran applications now are being
processed in county offices.
More than 5000 veterans already
have received FSA assistance. Ap-
proximately 1000 of them obtained
farm purchase loans under terms
of the Bankhead-Jones farm tenant
act from an earmarked fund set
up by congress. The rest have
loans to buy machinery and live
stock or for other operating
needs.
Soaring real estate prices and
lack of productive farms for sale
have handicapped veterans in their
quest for farms, Lasseter says.

A farmers week adds up to a r.

department, whenever days work
is lost on a farm the output of IL

At any rate, General Kepner now

made such elaborate plans to
measure effects of the bomb,
will come into their own on this
second test. There was little
for them to measure as result
Of the first test since the bomb
made no appreciable waves and
did no damage to the ocean bed,
beaches or the island.
However, this second test is ex-
pected to create high waves in the
lagoon, anywhere from 10 feet up.
There are 81 officers and men in
this section of the task force, most
of whom have been in the vicinity
Of Bikini since last March recording
data on the physical oceanography,
biology, geology and fisheries of the
atoll and surrounding waters.
Measurements of wave motion in
terms of time, height and distance,
their effect on the sea bottom and
on the beaches fall into three
classes-supersonic echo sounding
devices, and aerial and surface pho
Biography, plus maximum water
height recorders on Bikini island
and water level meters on several
other islands of the atoll.
There are supersonic echo sound
ers or fathometers on l6 ships in
the target array which will record
large waves through the rise and
fall of the ships, while II super
sonic echo saunders on buoys will
record passage of shorter waves.
Mechanical pressure recorders laid
500 yards apart on the bottom of
the lagoon are capable of recording
wave height in range from 4 to 200
feet.
Animals Still Dying.
The after-effects of this radio &C.
tivity is impressive as seen from
the effects on the live animals
placed aboard the ships, some of
which still are dying despite treat
ment} three weeks after they we're
exposed to the first bomb.
As the first task force
awaits on the eve of this second
test one cannot help but con-
lecture upon the possible effects
of this unpredictable and still
unknown terrific nuclear force
which can decimate entire
cities and depOpulate nations as
has been amply demonstrated
at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The first test proved beyond any
doubt that the bomb was not as eff
fective in the open space at
sea as it is when detonated over
heavily-populated areas on land . Z.
that used against naval bases on
land it could render a fleet at sea
inpotent, but that it would put out
of commission a good many ships
if they were in close formation and
that loss of life aboard these ships
would be terrific.
What effect this atomic energy
will have on the future of the Amer
lean navy as to ship construction
and operation now, however, lies
in the laps of the military evalua-
ton board and the Presidents
atomic energy commission, both of
which are making study for fu-
ture guidance.
We can only hope that medical
scientists and other scientists here
for observation will CLEAN from
peace-tine application which can
bring benefits, and not destruction,
from this new war-born source of
energy.

HONOLULU, PERATIONS
CROSSROAD. - While army and
navy officials in charge of Joint
Task Force l at the Bilzini atomic
bomb tests are interested in the
squabble now going on in the con-
gress as between civilian and mill
tary control of atomic energy, their
single interest here is to complete
successfully the important expert
ments on the possible damage
which an atom bomb can do to
fleet at sea.
In the meantime, Adm. w. H. P.
Blandy, commander of Operations
Crossroads, has intimated that
weather conditions may force
weeks delay in the underwater test
in Bikini lagoon scheduled for July
Is, which would make "Baker-day"
Aug. l or Whereabouts. AS has been
pointed out, the weather for this
second test need not be as perfect
as for the first test when the bomb
was dropped from a BIG, but it
must be clear enough for aerial OBJ
servation and photography.
The press ship USS Appalachian
has completed her trip to Pearl
Harbor for minor repairs and now
is anchored with the rest of the
maintenance feet in Bikini lagoon,
ready to pull out and cruise outside
to the seaward side of the island
when the time is ripe for the second
test.
Few Remain.
Only approximately % CORE
spondents are left aboard the ship,
since most Of them returned to the
States Immediately after the first
test.
The pattern for the underwa-
ter test has been completed
with the battleship Arkansas,
which was barely blistered by
the first test, and the carrier
Saratoga, also unchanged as a
result of the first bomb, almost
equidistant and nearest to the
proposed bomb burst.
A little to the east are the battle
ship New York and the cruiser Salt
Lake City. Both suffered negligi-
BILE damage in the first blast. Then
to the west of the two center ships
are the cruiser Pensacola ard the
carrier Independence The cid In
dependence is merely hulk in the
water with her insides torn out and
her topsides blasted away as result
of the bomb and her own internal
explosions. The Pensacola is I'm
damaged below decks, but her super
structure is pretty well battered up
as result of the first tests, with both
stacks blown away.
Farther out in the circle are the
battleships Pennsylvania and Ne
vada, the Jap ship Nagato and the
German pocket battleship Prinz Eu-
gen. Just forward of the Arkansas
and the Saratoga are several SUBJ
marines which are submerged at
various depths with the double
hulled Pilotfish almost as close to
the center of the burst as the Ar
kansas. Lighter ships make up the
balance of the target array.
Opinions Vary.

Voted In Corporations
Favor

An assessment Of $360,s08 on the
property Of the international Bus
mess Machines Corporation, has
been reduced to 100000 by the
Board Of Tax Review. The board
disagreed with the assessor IN the
Interpretation Of income capitaliza-
ion on machines owned by the COM
pany and used on a rental basis.
Victor Mambruno, chairman Of
the board, said that the three-man
board had finally determined the
appraised valuation Of the COM
pany's machines by means OF a
value less depreciation basis rather
than an income capitalization basis
as set forth by Chief Assessor AL
dro jerks.
Mr.. jerks, 1t Is said, had disputed
similar contest with the company
in Wisconsin. At that time the
Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled IN
favor Of the value less depreciation
basis. The company rents It's equip
ment rather than sell them. The
city now has, on rental, much OF
this equipment which Is used in the
taxpayers and assessors office.
The firm filed suit In Common
Pleas Court January 10 protesting
the original assessment as grossly
excessive, disproportionate and I'M
lawful. The suit was filed by At
torneys Lawrence Lewis and VIII
liam Secor.
Subsequently the Board Of Tax
Review conducted a 8 hour hearing
for the firm in which attorneys
presented their clam. Mr.. Nam

effected after listening to argu-
ments from both the attorneys ano

ton procedure used by the CHIEF
