FILA to Replace
FSA

The Farmers Home Administra
| ton has been established by the
FILA Act to absorb the Farm
Security Administration and the
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
Division of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration. Consolidation of
the two units is to be completed
by November II, says Secretary
of Agriculture Clinton P. Ander-
son.
The new agency, FILA, will pro-
vide three types of loan assist
ance for farmer
% Production and subsistence
loans for operating expenses =
seeds, feed, fertilizer, equipment,
and stock. Such lonas carry a five
percent interest and are to be re-
paid over a one to five year
period.
(2) Real estate loans which
may be made for the purpose of
buying, charging or improving a
farm. Borrower in this category
will have 40 years to repay the
loan at 81 per cent interest.
60 Insurance of loans which
farmer may secure from private
institutions will be provided by
the new agency. FILA will in
sure up to so per cent of the
amount of a loan. This will be
entirely new feature in the lend
ing program of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
While FILA is just beginning to
formulate its organization, it is
understood from the authority
given by the FILA Act that the
new agency will operate very
similarly to the way FSA was
operated. It's head is billiard B.
Lesseter, FSA administrator, who
was appointed two weeks ago by
President Truman. Under FSA,
over 100000 colored farmers re-
ceived assistance. Of these a.
bout 5000 were started on the
road to farm ownership through
farm ownership loans.

pension shall be 5000.
Last month President Truman
signed legislation authorizing a
20 per cent increase in all pensions
which would increase the amount
allowed under this law to $240.
Since The VA has disallowed
the "service-connected" claim
Woodlands only recourse is to the
law governing non-service con-
nected disabilities.
Under this law Woodland can
only receive $50 month until he
is 65 years old and will not be
permitted to have an outside in
come to exceed $1,000 per year,
the limit permitted to be earned
by married men receiving such a
pension.
A VA official cited the fact that
! it is important to Woodland just
how the money recently raised at
a New York benefit show is turn
ed over to him.
1t should be determined, the of
fetal said, whether or not it would
be getter to give it to him in a
lump sum thereby disqualifying
him for pension this year or
whether to place it in bank and
allot him $1,000 a year, an in
come which would permit him to
receive the pension at the same
time.
Possibility that Woodlands sta
tus in being a selectee rather than
a regular army man, might have
influenced the VA in ruling out
his first claim was raised here
when a VA official recalled paral-
led cases to Woodlands following
the last war.
At that time he stated the VA
regarded regular army man as
one having a contract with the
government which was not ter
minated until midnight of the day
on which his enlistment expired.
Draftees, however, he explained,
were looked upon as being dis
charged as soon as they were
handed their discharge papers in
asmuch as there had been no con-
tract between him and the War
Department. Woodland was a

Apparel WooIs In Abundance. Exchange Says

New York, July - CUP) - The over-abundance of apparel wools should tend to curb any major price advance, the Wool Associates of the New York Cotton Exchange, Inc, said in it's weekly wool trade re- port today.
 Referring to the quarterly wool stock report for March 30 issued by the U. s. Department of Commerce. which indicated that this country had on hand the greatest weight of wool in it's history, the Exchange report stated that the large supply of Wools in the country is definite obstacle to materially higher prices for that raw commodity.
 "The sudden expiration of the OPA, however, will automatically cause price increases in some types of wools, particularly those origin atlng in South America" the report pointed out
 Stating that the complete picture certainly indicates that price ceil- lngs on Wools have been unneces- sary for some time past, the Wool Associates said this was further demonstrated by the trading in wool futures immediately following the of price controls. when actlve contracts generally were quoted 6 to 8 cents below the prev iouS ceiling price.

Holiday Toll at 227
By UNITED PRESS

The nations holiday death toll mounted steadily today at the be- gining of the third day Of the long Fourth of July weekend.
 Reports from across the nation showed 227 deaths directly attri- butable to holiday celebrations. well below advance forecasts by the Na- tional Safety Council.
 Most of the violent deaths result ed from traffic accidents on crowd ed highways, with drownings rank ing second. Additional reports boost ed the total hourly. but the figures still were considerably lower than local and national authorities had feared for the first postwar Fourth.
 Auto mishaps accounted for lO8 deaths and drownings, 64. Seven persons were killed by fireworks, and 48 others died in miscellaneous accidents resulting from the holi- day
 California, with 31 deaths, led the states in fatalities. Fifteen Cali fornlans died in traffic accidents. Michigan ranked second with 2l deaths. Ohio and Wisconsin both reported 18, Texas 16 and Illinois IA
 In a pre-holiday estimate the National Safety Council had pre- dlcted that 1900 persons would be killed outright or would die at a lated date as result of Indepen- dence Day accidents.

Number 1865
 Remembered

Wilson, July 6-(UP)-Two police officers bowed silently over a tiny grave today, marked only bv the Number 1865. They came to remem- Der pretty girl whom nobody missed.
 She was a youngster who was killed in the catastrophe circus fire at Hartford two years ago to- day which snuffed out 167 other lives, and injured 682. .-.:...
 Five other victims also were un- identified, but with the youngster it was different. The curley- headed blue-eyed child, about 6 years old, had scarcely been touched.
 Her photographed was widely dis tributed, yet not & single inquiry was made which might give a clue as to her identity.
 But she wasn't forgotten. Detec- tive Sergeant Thomas c. Barber and Detective Edward T. Lowe placed a basket of flowers on her grave year ago. Then the nation rallied to provide funds and now the police have a bank account which guarantees floral remem- brances each Christmas, Memorial Day, and July 9th for the next 10 years.
 Meanwhile, police continue to hold records and pictures against the day when someone somewhere VIII wonder: Whatever happened to that pretty little girl who used to live around the corner?"

Local Price Levels Firm
 Meat UnobtoinobIe
 During Weekend

With scattered exceptions. prices held firm in local stores today. Most merchants are following the hold the line" policy which they yoll1n- tarily adopted following the end of OPA price controls.
 Meat was unobtainable again to- day in most retail stores but large shipments are expected to arrive before next weekend. How much of an increase in price will be made on meat is not yet known, but the price will be higher in virtually all lines
 Butter is becoming available in larger quantities but the price has scared. Prices per pound ranging from 92 cents to S1 30 were reported yesterday and today.
 Several more cases of rent in- creases have been reported, but Gov Raymond E. BaldWins suspension of the eviction law has stymied land 4oros seeking to oust tenants from thelr property. Most landlords, like merchants, have withheld taking action until the OPA picture at Washington is clarified.
 Shoppers are finding items which had been listed as scarce beginning to appear in larger quantities in the stores. In most cases, however. prices are being maintained at the old OPA ceilings.
 Local OPA staffS are still stand ng by awaiting a decision by Congress on the agency's fate.

 Senator Wherry
 Leads Campaign
 Against Measure

Washington, July 6-(UP) administration leaders said today efforts of a Republican, led coalition to keep price control oil meat, poultry and dairy prod ucts offered the major threat to Senate approval next week of a new OPA bill.
 Senators generally forecast a pit- ter, 'no-holds-barred" battle over the food decontrol plan offered by Sen. Kenneth Wherry, (R.-Neb.), and already assured support of many Republicans and at least two Democrats.
 Anti-OPA foes were loading their weapons to force action on Wher- rvs decontrol plan as the Senate enjoyed weekend recess. The light to renew price controls is scheduled to be the first order of business Monday. Taft Reintroduces Measure
 Another obstacle to early Senate approval of the OPA bill centered on Sen. Robert A. Tafts plan to give producers their pre-War prices plus increased costs.
 Taft late yesterday reintroduced ms pricing amendment, singled out by President Truman in his veto message on the first Congressional price bill as one of the measures most objectionable features. The only change the Ohio Republican made ln his original plan would set up the pricing base period as July l-l5, l940 instead of Oct. Ills. le41.
 Despite prospects of lengthy. bit- ter debate on the bill, Senate Dem ocratic Leader Alben W. Barkley was confident that the Senate would complete its action on the measure next week. He said the Dill would not be passed, however. without repetition" of the fight on the original OPA legislation.
 Taft, leader of the coalition movement, would make no predic- tIons on the outcome. He said. however, 1t looks to me like big row.

 Sen. Walter F George, p.-Ga). told reporters he would support the amendment because it would be better to decontrol and get rid of the black markets" and open up merchandising channels. Regardless of what happens. however" George said, the malad- ]ustments of OPA have guaranteed meat shortage by Spring of next year and nothing can be done now which would alleviate that condt- tion"
 Taft predicted that Sen. Elmer Thomas, (D.-Okla), would also re- introduce his amendment adding petroleum, tobacco, timber. cotton ma other products to the decontrol lSt. Such a move would give the additional, important Democratic support.

Vienna, July 6-CUP)-Russian seizure of all former German pro-
 perty in eastern Austria was an- nounced today by the official Soviet news agency Tass.
 TaSs reported that all the proper ty in the Soviet occupation zone thai formerly belonged to Germans automatically became Russian pro- perty under military government order of June 27.

 The Kielce anti-semitic riot in which 40 persons died was expected tonight to touch off a new exodus of Jews from Poland to the United States occupation zone of Germany.
 Correspondents touring the riot torn Jewish colony found one com polling thought among the sur vlVors. It was expressed by Anna Barenholc, 35, who muttered through swollen lips:

 Those Of the correspondents re- gently in Germany were familiar with the stories told by Jewish travellers from Poland regarding antl-semitic oppression prompting a large scale flight. American milf tary authorities have taken cog nlzance of the situation and indi- cated they would receive as many Jews from Poland as might seek ad- mlsSlon to their occupation zone.
