LITTLE INTEREST RATES
NAVE Big EFFECT

Observation-Disclosures rates
seem pretty small 2H%o, 80, even
40. But they add up. This month
Washington, d. c., homemakers were
upset when bread went from 16 cents
to II cents a loaf. But the same day
Treasury Secretary Humphrey said
the U. S. would boost it's interest
rate on 81 billion, 30-year bond is
sue from 21a % to 8 a %. That's diff
ference of $71z million a year, 800
increase in the cost of government
borrowing on this one issue. AS Wal
lace j. Campbell, the Cooperative
Leagues Washington director, point
ed out, "It's equal to one-cent in
crease on $50 million loaves of
bread"
This tipped off interest rate rises
elsewhere. Commodity Credit Cor
poration, withoutS public announce
ment, upped it's rate on price support
loans from 31a% to 40. Senator
Thomas Hennings, Jr., (D-Mo.) said
the move would take $8-9 million out
of farmers pockets each year. "The
extra 1a% doesn't go to the govern
ment," he said, "but to banks and
private lending agencies that handle
all the loans-a bookkeeping service
primarily, because CCC guarantees
the loans"
Senator John ]. Sparkman Cd
Ala said private lending rates will
follow the Treasury's action, cost
ing the average small home buyer
1888 more a month on his INSTALL
ment payments"
Wall Street loans to gilt-edged bor-
rowers on commercial paper moved up
from $2.37h a 500 to $3.50. Other
rates rose proportionately. Blanks
anda their owners benefit from the
higher interest rates at the expense
of almost everyone else," candidly
stated the WALL STREET JOUR-
NAL.

ment is paying more to hire its
money than is necessary" said the
NEW YORK TIMES This policy

cession."

calculated risk, which will be either

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
In the administrations biggest cleo
trio power decision so far, Interior
Secretary Douglas Mckay yielded to
private power interests, May 8.
The issue is Hells Canyon dam VS..
Idaho Power Company's Oxbow prof.
ect. The big dam, among other things,
would provide enough cheap power
for farm co-ops to turn the phosphate
they own in southeast Idaho into sup
erphosphate economically.
Four days before, two coop lead
ers told Mckay that Hells Canyon
power is vital to farmer-owned and
controlled fertilizer production. G. w.
Bunting, manager of Central Farmers
Fertilizer Company, Chicago, and
Charles A. Baker, vice president of
Western Fertilizer Association, Seat
tie, explained to Mckay and other In
terror officials that Hells Canyon pow
er means saving of $40 ton on
1870 concentrated superphosphate.
Hells Canyon-to be built on the
Snake river between Oregon and
Idaho-would develop the whole
river. Oxbow, which is a series
of three n-of-the-river dams,
would only use part of it.
Hells Canyon would provide L.
100000 kilowatts of firm power;
Oxbow, 100000. Heils Canyon
would store 3,ssO,OOO acre-feet of
water, much of it for irrigation;
Oxbow, only million acre-feet,
none of it for irrigation.
Hells Canyon provides more navi-
CATION benefits. The two projects
would control floods about equally,
Mckay said.
Mckay said his decision was based
on his belief that Congress wouldn't
authorize Hells Canyon. So rather

A $28.7 million plan to stop floods
where they start-on upstream water
sheds-was outlined here by Chair

the House agriculture committee,

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Two federal synthetic gasoline pilot
plants are to be closed. Interior Sec
rotary Douglas Mckay ordered the
gasoline-from-coal plant at Louisiana
Mo-, shut down, and the House APP
preparations committee, April %
cut off funds for the gasoline-fronl-
shale plant at Rifle, Colo.
Both. were built to develop pro-
cesses for making petroleum-type
fuels should war stop U. S. crude
oil imports. Both have turned out
gasoline, but at costs still several
cents a gallon above petroleum re-
filming.
Mckay said his decision arose
from the need to cut 81 million
from the bureau of mines budget,
but he has ignored four requests
of Senators Thomas c. Hennings,
Jr., (D-Mo.) and Stuart Symington
(D-Mo.) for further explanation.
Louis C. McCabe, the bureaus
fuels division chief, said five firms
wanted to buy the Missouri plant. He
declined to give their names. One of
them, the ST. LOUIS POST-DIS-
PATCH said, is Monsanto Chemical
Company. A Monsanto official said
the plant might produce ammonia
more profitably than gasoline.
The House committee took it's cue
from Mckay. 1t noted that the Colo
RADIO plant was closer to commercial
than the Missouri one.
Therefore, it is time to close the
Rifle plant Also" 'te.

Erie water Grab =
By Army Opposed

Columbus, Ohio-Interested par
ties were expressing optimism this
week that the proposed Lake Erie
water grab" by the u. S. Army
would be rejected in Washington.
The hopes of the commercial
fishing organizations and the boat
and hook and line fishing enthu-
siasts were buoyed following a
public hearing in Toledo last week
at which strong opposition to the
proposal was expressed by nearly
all organizations present.
They are now aflxiously awaiting
the final word from the Army
headquarters in Washington which
is weighing the facts involved and
the results of the hearing.
The Army proposal was to in
crease the present 90 square miles
of anti-aircraft firing area around
West Sister Island from Camp
Perry and Locust Point to 125
square miles from January / to
August 81. Formerly the 125
square mile was used for firing

ing. Just as the big truck stopped
the mammoth tire on the outside
left rear wheel jumped off and
sped down the street toward the
hotel. Travelling at a high rate of
speed the tire raced madly down
the left side of the street until it
was in front of the hotel, here it
changed its course and went to its
right, crossing the street, where it
hit the curb and jumped ten feet
or more into the air before going
through the big plate glass WIN
dow in the Parsons Implement
Store. After going through the
window it smashed into appliances
and tools on floor displays and
knocked particles through both of
the windows on the East side of
the store.
When this tire came to the end
of its mad journey it was almost
one block away from the truck
from whence it came. And another
remarkable thing too. is that it
lodged through traffic uf pedes-
trians and automobiles without
striking either, before it dashed
through the big window. Had it
happened one half hour sooner,
when the street was crowded with
children enroute to school, doubt
less one or more children might
have been killed.

WiIdlife Division
Hunts Old Licenses

Columbus, Ohio-Attention Ohio
hunters and fishermen Do you
have collection of old hunting
and fishing licenses?
If you have you can solve a big
problem for the Ohio Division of
Wildlife and at the same time gain
some recognition at the Divisions
80th birthday open house celebra-
ton scheduled for Columbus in
July.
The Division this week issued a
plea to Ohioans who have made a
collection of all hunting and fish
ing licenses in the hope of con-
structing a display of them at the
celebration.
Division officials assured those
who send in the old licenses that
they will be given proper credit
and will be returned to the collec-
tor if he SO desires.
The first Ohio fishing license
was printed in 1919. It was a $500
nonresident permit for persons
sixteen years of age and over. A
license was not required of resi-
dents until 1925 when a S1.0O rod
and reel license was issued.
The first general fishing license
for Ohioans was required in 1897.
Hunters in the Buckeye State how
ever had to dig down much earlier
to enjoy their sport. The first gen.
eral hunting license was required
in 1913. Out-of-staters however
had to pay to hunt in Buckeyeland
as far back as 1904. The price of
that license was $500 which was
a very high figure in those days.
Collectors sending in licenses
are requested to include their
names and addresses in order that
they may be returned. The licens-
es should be sent to Randall Guth-
