BY Hoover With Curb
On Lending Powers
by the Associated Press

Herbert Hoover urged Congress
today to prolong the life Of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
two or three years beyond the
present June 80 deadline.
The former President proposed
limitations against loaning cheap
money" in competition with private
institutions.
Moreover, he said all RFC loans
to foreign countries or persons
should be prohibited. He suggested
broad reyisions that would tend to
get the institution out of the lend
ing business except during economic
emergencies.
Writes to Wolcott.
Mr.. Hooyer's views were embodied
in letter to Chairman wolcott of
the House Banking Committee, now
considering legislation to continue
RFC.
If RFC is retained, Mr.. Hoover
said, at should be returned to its
original purpose and now be limited
to loans to private business and
self-hquidating loans for public
works" He added:
Except for self -liqr .ating works,
all loans to govern ental agencies
should be prohibs d, together with
all loans to forr Al countries or per-
sons. Whetr justified in the past
or not .s continuation of these
of governmental loans leads
into a circumvention OF congress
sional control of the national purse.
"a further limitation might we'll
be placed upon its authority, such
as that business or persons seeking
loans should present evidence that
they have exhausted the possibility
of securing credit from private
institutions.
Higher Interest Suggested.
am this same direction, further
provision might be made that loans
in the future should be at rate Of
interest 8 per cent or per cent
above the rate Of governments OF
the same period as check upon
using the Government for cheap
money.
"As the economic situation will
continue to be uncertain for the next
few years, 1t would be well to con-
tinue the institution for two or
three years in this limited field"
Mr.. Hoover said the RFC was Of
great service during the economic
emergency of 1872"
Mr.. Wolcott also received today
telegram from Jesse Jones, in which
the former RFC chairman said the
institution had rendered great
service with a minimum of errors. !
am very proud Of its record"
Mr. Jones said he would try to
get to Washington from his Texas
home this week to testify on the
RFC continuation.

said he attended with officials of the
Mineral Development Co., original
owners of the Kentucky property
May, he said, was present only al
the first meeting at which genera,
plans were discussed for taking UP
the option and arranging for the
payment of $1,000 in checks and
$4,000 in notes.
Carson declared that Joseph F

Garssons, had made all earlier ar
rangements for getting the option

Murray Carson put up $1,000 for
the option"
Cites Engineering Experience.
Henry Carson took the stand last
Thursday
Under questioning by Mr.. Margi-
otti, he said he had had long expert
ence as a consulting engineer and
had been retained by several clients
who manufactured shells and other
munitions.
After relating how he became
associated with the Erie Basin and
Batavia companies and ultimately
became president of the Batavia
company, Carson said he first met
May "in connection with a problem
we had on fuse production prof.
ect." His companies. he explained
were producing various types of
shells and other material at that
time and had at least $4,000, 900
in war contracts.
Carson said he became actively
interested in acquiring lumber sev-
eral months before he met May
Freeman, he said, was in charge of
looking for lumber and other scarce
materials early in 1943. Carson
said Freeman called him from
Washington in April of that year
and told him that May knew of q
Kentucky site that was for sale
Carson testified he told Freeman
he was interested in buying the land
only If a sawmill could be set up
an experienced manager employed
and the price kept at $40 an acre.
Borrowed Money for Deal.
This arrangement, Carson testi-
fed, was made through Freeman,
but when it came to buying the
land the Carson brothers borrowed
a total of $4,000 from the Erie
Basin Co. because the officials of
that concern preferred to have the
lumber venture conducted on a
personal, rather than a corporation
basis.
Carson, a short, heavy-set NOUS
tached man who holds several COL
lege degrees and patent for his
invention to harden steel, Is ex-
pected to testify until late Wednes-
day and perhaps longer If Mr.. Pals
ley subjects him to the same detailed
cross-examination that kept May on
the stand more than a week.
Defense counsel has not disclosed
whether Murray Carson will testify
in his own defense.
Today's trial session before Justice
Henry A. Schweinhaut and a jury
recessed this afternoon because of
the annual bar association outing.

tested that her eldest son. James
Terry, was embarrassed by being the
only child in his class room not

argued the religious classes were a

Forest Service Asking Bids0n End Pulp Trad
Tonqass Forest Area Near KetChikan Is Next Tim-
 Der Block for Sale
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Sept. l3. - R- Bids for a second block of Alaskan timber totaling l,500000000 cubic feet will be called for by the United States Forest Service in few days.
 It is the second such bid request ed recently. The service says the timber offered in Southeast Alaska is enough to operate a $35,000,O00 pulp mill for 50 years.
 Frank Heintzleman, Regional Forester of Alaska, said today bids would be opened for the sale of tim Der for the first mill, near Peters burg, Alaska, on Oct. l.
 The second advertisement, which will be published September Is, calls for bids to be opened Dec. l5 for the same amount of timber near Ketchikan.
 The sale of the Petersburg tract will be the first step in the Forest Services plan to establish six huge pulp mills in the Territory, each of which can turn out 525 tons of pulp day.
 The successful bidders can make pulp and ship it to the United States or make newsprint for ship ment here.
 The Forest Service does not tell the mills what kind of paper they must make, but with the newSprint shortage it's officials say they be- lieve that newsprint will be made.
 Congressional hearings on the leg islation permitting the sale of the timber developed the fact that AL askan newsprint mill will find a ready market for their product on the West Coast and elsewhere in this country. Congress approved the sale of timber leases despite opposi- tion from Indian tribes of South cast Alaska.
 Heintzleman said ne believes that each mill eventually will establish a town of 5000 to 10000 persons, and bring much needed population to the Territory. The timber is to be cut under sustained yield program, directed by the Forest Service, so that when the original area is cut over the first part of the tract will have renewed itself
 Heintzleman said there was no indication as yet of how many bids will be made for the two tracts.
