Farm Mortgage Total
Up From Year Ago

THE FARM MORTGAGE debt for
the country as a whole on the first
of this ear was larger by 4.6 percent
than on Jan. /, 1913, and is up from
the very low point reached early in
1916 by 9 percent, said A. w. Willis,
agricultural extension service econ
omist at the University of Wyoming,
in referring to the latest farm mort
gage report issued by the bureau Of
agricultural economies, u. S. de-
partment Of agriculture.
Although a rise vas shown for
the country as a whole, the noun
tain states were ~noticeably ia the
high-increase bracket. The increase
during the past year for Wyoming
was 1873 percent and was paced only
by Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado,
and Florida IN the entire nation. The
increase for Wyoming since Jan. l,
1916, is 34.8 percent or ninth place
for the period.

Mr.. Shanks comments caused
President Harry B. Mitchell of

There are so many brickbats
thrown both at the Government

COMPASSIONATE various pay
surveys undertaken by the Hoover

sonnet show the following facts
about the salaries of Government
employees as compared with the
wages paid persons in comparable
jobs in private industry:
Government white collar en-

engineers fare better for the first

their wages lag behind engineers

Marshall Seeks

BY the Assoeioted Press

SANFORD, N. c., Mar. IA. -
Gen. Marshall is looking into the
problem of a lonely North Caro-
lima soldier who is stationed on
Okinawa.
Red Cross officials here dis
closed that Gen. Marshall, former
Army Chief of Staff and former
Secretary of State, drove from his
home at Pinehurst Friday to talk
with the soldiers wife. She lives
with her two children in an
isolated cabin near here. The
home has neither lights nor tele-
phone.
The general, who did not name
the soldier, said he had received
a letter from him explaining that
he had re-enlisted in the Army
because he thought he would be
stationed at nearby Fort Bragg.
The soldier wrote Gen. Marshall
he had sought a transfer home in
vain and was writing the general
as last resort.
The soldiers wife was scared
half to death when she found out
who she was talking to-" said a
Red Cross official. The general
ended up by promising her he
would do whatever he could to

Jewish Troops Digging In
Near British at Aqobo

AMMAN, Trans-Jordan, March
IA tAP) Jewish troops on the
Palestine coast of the Gulf of
Aaaba are digging in within sight
of British forces at Aqaba. it was
reported here today.
Reports in King Abdullah' S
Trans-Jordan capital were that no
more fighting is expected in the
Aqaba area.
Israeli troops, it was said. are
encamped in a small outpost on
the edge of the Palestine Negeb
desert area bordering on the gulf
within four miles of Aqaba.
Aqaba is Trans-Jordan's only
port. 1t is located on an outlet to
the Red Sea. British troops were
called in several months ago when
Abdullah invoked mutual de-
Tense treaty.
Israel was reported apparently
content with arrival of it's troops
on the Palestine coast along the
Gulf of Aqaba. The Israeli forces
are not expected to cross the
Trans-Jordan border to Aqaba
and thus give the British troops
any reason for interference.

VETERANS PREFERENCE -
Veterans received SIS percent of
the permanent Government jobs
that opened up during 1948, the
Civil Service Commission reports.
The figures become even more
impressive when you consider that
most of the remaining As percent
of the jobs we're in the clerical and
stenographic category that are
largely filled by women.
Few veterans compete for these
jobs. If they did. the S. percent
figure would be considerably
larger. All of which shows that it
is becoming increasingly more
difficult for non-veterans to obtain
Government employment in jobs
other than the clerical and steno-
graphic variety.

in all three countries, though they
continue militantly opposed to the

a new line of propaganda - not
without some appeal in Norway
attacking defense expenditures
linking the Atlantic pact with
austerity, and demanding butter
before guns.
Certainly. looking at the imme-
diate results. it can hardly be
doubted that Marshall Plan oper-
atoms in Scandinavia have helped
to strengthen the Western posi-
ton in the cold war with Russia
1t can hardly be doubted, either
that. Denmark, Sweden and Nor

Tobey Raises Threat
To Rent Control, Asks
6-Month Extension
BY the Associaied Press

New trouble piled up IN Con-
gress today in front of President
Truman's request to strengthen
rent controls and other parts Of
his l949 program.
With rent controls due to expire
March 31-just II days away-anc
the Senate still troubled with 6
fllibuster, Senator Tobey. Repub-
lican, of New Hampshire raised 8
threat.
Senator Tobey, former Banking
Committee chairman and pas
supporter of rent controls, told 8
reporter he favors an extension
for only six months to enable in.
dividual States to take over this
job if they desire.
That would be in contrast with
Mr.. Truman's plan for a two-yeal
extension. or the 15-month contin.
uation tentatively voted by the
House.
Subcommittee Starts Work.
Senator Tobey and a number
OF other senators and Representa-
tives believe the time has come
for cutting off the frequent ex.
tensions of wartime rent controls
Some 40 State Legislatures
will be meeting in the next six
months" he said. This woulo

The Tobey proposal came as g

drafting a rent bill under the
Craftsmanship of Senator Spark

Both Senator Sparkman ano
Chairman Maybank of the full
Banking Committee are among
Southerners battling the proposed
Tightening of Senate rules. They
say they cannot push the rent
measure as long as the fllibuster-
civil rights issue is before the
Senate.
Other Bills Awaiting Action.
Also stacked up in the Senate
are these administration bills:
/. A House-passed three-yeal
extension Of the tariff cutting re-
ciprocal trade powers asked by
Mr.. Truman.

gram including slum clearance
