Q. Is the Civil Air Patrol cred

my forces in this war? If so can
you tell me which one?-J. T.,
Anadarko, Okla.
A. The war department says
CAP conducted patrol against
submarines along the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts, at times as far
as 100 miles at sea. Some CAP
planes were equipped with depth
charges which they dropped
whens submarine positions were
evident. The CAP also flew air
cover the coastal shipping anC'
conveys within their operation
al range of coastal limits. The
CAP was officially credited with
sinking two submarines. AS q
matter of fact, however, since
army, navy and CAP operated
together on these two occasions
some argument or difference of
opinion resulted as to who should
be credited with the sinkings.

MOREFUNDS
FOR REA CO-OPS

Additional funds for REA
work in, Montana and other
states were included as an am
endment in a deficiency aprOp-
ration bill that passed the
House last Thursday, Repre-
sentative Wesley A. D'Ewart
announced.
The amendment authorizes
REA to borrow 100,00O,O 00
from the Reconstruction Fin
ance corporation for continu-
alton and expansion of present
developments.
D'Ewart addressed the house
in support of the amendment
containing the appropriation.
Expansion of REA facilities
and development Of new CO.
operatives has been so rapid
since the end of the war that
the agencies entire 1915 appro-
priation already has been used.
Montana, one of 81 states
whose ALLEGATIONS were used
before January l, has received
Sc, 1892, 900 in REA funds during
the current fiscal year, d.
Ewart said. Several new COOP
eratives were organized, max
ing a total of 10.
The three-year postwar pro-
gram contemplated by Mont
ana cooperatives would provide
electric service to an addition
al 10000 rural customers. Con-
struction costs are estimated
at $11, 900, 000. An estimated
S 2,300,000 would be spent in ad-
dition for the purchase, install
lation and improvement of
farm and home electric sys-
TENS and equipment.
Jobs for veterans and others
will be available in the man
ufacture, sale, installation and
maintenance of these systems
and household appliances, as
well as in construction of the
lines, the congressman explain
ed. REA estimates that 1000
man-years of labor would be
required in actual construction
work, and that each new con-
sumner will spend about $709
for installations in farms and
homes.
Montana now has 3,375 miles
of REA lines, serving 8,288 con-
sumers. When funds already
allocated have been used, more
than 5000 miles of energized
