ciities available to them. There are several reasons for this.
Some farmers would rather not be indebted. Others are hest
tant to borrow for fear Of not being able to meet their pay
ments when they become due; but there are still others who
fail to use these resources simply because they are misin-
formed, or lack Of information regarding the operation Of the
various loans.

Senate Committee Will Investigate High Coffee Cost

WASHINGTON, R-A second investigation of the high cost of coffee was ordered Thursday, this one by the Senate Banking Com mittee.
 Chairman Capehart R-Ind said he would appoint five-man sub committee to carry out an investi- gation proposed by Sen. Beall R-Md.
 The Federal Trade Commission, with President Eisenhower's bless ing, announced Wednesday that it would probe into the price situa- tion, with particular reference to whether speculative or monopo- listic practices might be involved.
 Coffee industry spokesmen said they welcomed an inquiry.
 The price has now gone past $1 a pound at retail, and to Is cents a cup in some restaurants.
 In a statement Thursday, Beall said:
 American coffee traders could be expected to maintain sufficient stocks to protect themselves against any small fluctuation in supply.
 The increased daily trading, the immediate effect on retail prices, indicates that there have been some extraordinary profits made"
 Eeau also said:

 It is hard to believe that crop damage, even though extensive, in only one country, reducing antici- pated exports by only one four teenth, could so radically effect the coffee market

Five Treasury Securities To Be Refinanced In
 One Big $21 Billion Step

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey is of fering to refinance in one giant 21-billion-dollar operation five Treasury securities maturing in the next few months.
 It was the biggest single rebor- rowing package the Treasury ever put on the market. Its scope and dollar size were a surprise.
 Humphrey offered late Wednes- day to refinance three bonds, a one-year Treasury certificate and a 4M-year Treasury note into a new SeVen-year, nine-month bond or a new one-year certificate.
 The package deal was obviously aimed at achieving a number of objectives, among them:
 l. Converting some short term debts and some long-term bonds that have only a little while to run into longer-term debt.
 2. Reducing the number of gov ernment securities on the market, and, in that way, cutting down the number of times the Treasury must refinance maturing securi- ties.
 3. Taking advantage of present low interest rates to do. lot of refinancing. The implication was that the Treasury may think in terest rates will be rising later this year.
