Purchase Period On Insurance Farm
Loans Reduced From 10 To5 Years

The period private lenders hold
insured farm loans before the Gov
eminent will purchase the note is
being reduced from ten to five
years, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture announced this week
The change is effective on all in
sured loans closed on or after jan
uary 2, 1856.
1--WE expect that this change will
make insured loans more attract
i've to private lenders" said r. B.
Fatherree, State Director of US
DA's Farmers Home Administra-
ton, land thus increase the funds
farmers can borrow to buy and i'm
prove their farms, carry out soil
conservation practices and develop
domestic and irrigation water sys-
TENS"
1.-THE change in the redemption
period is a matter of contract be-
tween the Government and the
lenders and does not affect the
terms and conditions of the loan
so far as the farmers who obtain
insured loans are concerned" Mr..
Fatherree said.
Insured farm loans are made and
Serviced by the Farmers Home
Administration from funds pro-
vided by private lenders. Under
the repurchase agreement which
accompanies each insured loan, the
lender may, five years after the
date of the note for each loan
made on or after January 2, have
the note purchased by the Govern
ment, or the lender may hold the
note and enter into new repur-
chase agreement, or simply retain
the note until it has been paid in
full.
The FILA is authorized by law to
insure up to s125,000,000 of farm
loans each fiscal year. Congress
also appropriates funds for the
same type of loans. A total of
S30,500,000 was appropriated for
loans being made during fiscal
1856. The use of private funds on
an insured basis increases the
credit available to farmers and
lessons the needs for funds from
the U. S. Treasury. Insured loans
made so far this fiscal year July
l, 1855 through December 16, 1850
total approximately S20,0O0,O0
A total of 575 farmers have taken
advantage of the insured loan pro-
gram to purchase, enlarge and or
develop farms in Mississippi. The
total amount of these loans which
have been made by private landers
is $3,454 ,406.
Applications for loans and all
processing action are initiated in
county Farmers Home Admins
tration offices which are located
in county seat towns of 70 Missis-
Gippi counties.

lie housing, revision of our lmmi-
grafton Act, and better techniques
in foreign policy and national Sc
curity. AS a matter of fact the
message contained so much polit-
ical underarmnent, there is no
doubt in my mind that the Presi-
dent will seek reelection this fall.
My foremost criticism of the
message was its approach to the
civil rights issue, wherein BIZ
partisan Congressional Committee
was proposed to study allegations
that Negro citizens in some locali-
ties are being subjected to unwar-
ranted economic pressure. Our
gratitude to the President for de-
voting part of his State of the
Union Message to the civil rights
issue was considerably diminished
by this proposal. The facts re-
lating to these practices, especially
in the State of Mississippi, are
abundantly we'll known to all three
branches of our government. Pri-
vate individuals, organizations, and
the Attorney General, within his
self-opinioned jurisdiction, have
investigated and re-investigated
this dastardly situation. Civil
rights legislation, comprising al
most 100 bills, was also the SUBJ
ject of public hearings before the
House Judiciary Committee dur
ing the 1865 Session, and it's rec
ords are replete with unchallenge-
able findings which reflect the
grave conditions Of civil rights in
the South.
The President is we'll aware of
all this, and for him to "recom-
mend that the substance of these
charges be thoroughly examined"
would waste valuable time and is
an unmitigated insult to the right
thinking people of this country and
other parts of the world, who de-
mand that our moral indignation
be translated into concrete legis-
lative action which will insure
voting privileges without interfer-
ence and intimidation and equal
protection of all laws for all peo-
pie.
In stating that there will soon
be recommended to the Congress a
program further to advance the
efforts of the Government, within
the area of Federal responsibility
to accomplish these detectives, the
President tacitly admits that his
plan requires experimentation and
with enough pressure may ulti-
mately recommend support of the
correct measures. urge all Of
you, therefore, to write the Pres
ident and insist that he endorse
the Diggs' bills to strengthen the
hand of the Justice Department in
protecting the voting and other
rights of Negroes.
At least, however, the President
has turned the spotlight on a dark
crevice in Americas mountain of
progress and has formulated a
framework for corrective action that
the Democratic Party, which pres
emily controls the Congress, must
counter with more substance if it
is to continue to enjoy the support
of those affected and concerned.
Certainly the TRADES of the Geor-
gia delegation on the Floor of the
House, Thursday, in denunciation
of desegregation and what they
term unlawful interference of the
federal government in state af-
fairs" further unveiled their de-
termination to engage in violence
if necessary to preserve white su-
pl emacy. AS l told over 5000

men from a burning fishing
ltrawler.
The Agda, 56-foot commercial
fishing craft. caught fire in q
rough sea near here on the east
ern end Of Long Island.
In the area were the destroyer
willis A. Lee; the submarine
Dogf1sh, out of New London
Conn.,. and another fishing vessel
the Seahawk.
The Lee, sighting smoke rising
from the Agda, radioed the SUBJ
marine. which was submerged
The sub then surfaced and both
Naval craft sped to the scene.
Meanwhile a Coast Guard boat
was racing from Montauk and q
Coast Guard amphibious plane
lowered over the area.
The five men left their burning
ship in a dory. were picked up by
the Seahawk and later trans
lferred to the Coast Guard cutter
The Navy vessels put out the
fire on the Agda and the Coast
Guard boat attached a hawser,
intending to tow her to New
London.
But the Agda started sinking
and the lines were cut loose.
The Agda's crewmen, none Of

All pass
Most of the loss had been
caused by his partners sharp
criticism of his play. Mr.. Abel's
mind was constantly on his own
faults-not on the hand he was
playing.
Slowely but surely Mr.. Dale
had brought Mr.. Abel up to his
best game. There had been a
few bad plays, none of them
disastrous, and Mr.. Dale had
either sympathized or overlooked
them entirely. He had taken the
blame himself whenever he could
do so.
Between hands. instead of
knocking himself out brooding
about results or analyzing the
previous deals, Mr.. Dale had
talked about things other than
bridge. In this way he got Mr..
Abels mind off his troubles.
This sort of thing not only
comes naturally to Mr.. Dale as
a matter of ordinary courtesy,
but also he has found 1t adds
points to his score.
When today's hand was dealt,
the old boy was behind in the
rubber. His opponents were vul-
nerable and had quite a few
points above the line. But he
wasn't perturbed. Far from it.
He reflected a calm confidence.
He had partner who was
thinking again. On the very last
hand Mr.. Abel had made a beau
tiful defensive play to defeat Mr..
Champions three-no-trump bid.
The current rubber had now
reached the stage where all Mr..
Dale and Mr.. Abel needed was a
fair share of the cards to have a |
chance to win it.
AS you see, they got more than
their share on this deal. Mr..
Dale could have made at least
four no-trump. Actually, Mr..
Abel made five-odd at spades.
Mr.. Champion led the nine of
clubs. Mrs. Keen winning with
the ace and returning a diamond
But Mr.. Abel went up with the
ace, laid down the king and
queen of spades. cashed the
queen of clubs, then entered
dummy with the ace Of spades.
Dummy's two good clubs fur
nished discards for the two small
diamonds in the closed hand.
Thus the defenders won only
their two aces.
/ In some situations Mr.. Dale
would have bid three no-trumpI
over the three-spade bid. But
not this time. AS a further mo-
rale builder for his partner he
remarked as he laid down the
dummy hand: Think it will
make game in either spades or
ao-trump, but III let you do the
work while I rest"
