Government Bank Ends
Operations

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Recon-
struction Finance Corporation ended
its Independent status June 30 by
handing the treasury a check for 500
million. The Treasury Department
will now liquidate RIGS remaining
assets.
Starting its turbulent career Feb
ruary =, 1882, under President Her
bert Hoover, the RFC in its lifetime
had loaned or spent S48, 100000,
including So billion on wartime in
dustries or purchases. 1t was estab-
lished with a stock of $500 million.
Previously, it had paid off $500 mil
lion and turned into the treasury
1865 million more from loan earnings.
The 500 million check covered
last years earnings, including rubber
and tin sales. RFC will make another
payment later, when eight field agen-
cies-Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dial
las, Denver, Los Angeles, Philadel-
phia and Portland-close their ac-
counts.
Congress voted to dissolve RFC
last year in one of the first major
moves of the new administration.
After the RFC scandals, anti-RFC
forces succeeded in wiping out the
corporation they claim competed with
banks and other financial institu
tiOns.
Born during the nations severe
depression, RFC loaned $1.2 billion
to aid banks and another $2.7 billion
to insurance, trust, and mortgage loan
companies.

TO DELAY VOTE ON
wheat REFERENDUM

Senator James f. Murray has urged
Secretary of Agriculture Benson to
postpone the wheat acreage allotment
referendum one month beyond the
present July % to permit farmers to
know what they are voting on.
In a letter to the Secretary, Sena-
tor Murray points out that pending
farm bills make it uncertain, if the
farmers vote allotments, whether they
will get their wheat supported at 900
of parity, 1870 of parity, or some
where between ITO and 1920 de

il could not be completed more than
a few days before July 23-insuffi-
Gent time for the actual alternative

that there will be no final

of the referendum should be post
