Veterans Are Released
From Loan Liability

More than 1900 veterans have
been released from liability to
the government on their CT
home loans under a 1856 law,
Mack Mattingly, representative
of the VA office in Caldwell, re-
ported today.
The statute provides that vet
erans selling their CT homes
may be released from liability
to the government if the new
purchaser meets credit require
ments. He must assume all of
the veterans obligations to the
government on the CT loan.
Before enactment of the law,
a veteran was released from this
liability only by paying off the
loan in full himself or by having
the new purchaser do so or when
VA considered it in the govern
ment's best interests to release
him.
Release from liability does not
restore the veterans CT loan
entitlement. Restoration of en-
titlement may be made under
certain conditions and informa-
ton is available at any VA office.
The VA furnishes service to
Caldwell the last Thursday of
each month. This service is
rendered from the patriotic room
in the court house.

Steele, in a dairy operation.
Wesler's poultry setup is
based on production from a flock
of about $500 birds. His poultry
house is a WindoWless building
with a Slated floor and auto
matte equipment.
Wesler has around $500 birds.
One of the outstanding features
of his setup is a home construct
ed egg cooler. His brother, Ches-
ter, received a similar award
several years ago.
l.. E. Lehmkuhl, representing
Federated Egg and Poultry
Sales, Inc, sponsor of the

More Fish And Game Witt!
Conservation Program

Farmers may encourage more
fish and game on their lands
by diverting to Wildlife con-
servation purposes fields not
suited for crops, says R. K. Davis,
Ohio State University extension
Wildlife conservation specialist.
Provisions of the soil bank S
conservation reserve program
permit farmers to collect rental
payments on diverted acreages
and receive financial help on
establishing certain conservation
practices, Davis points out.
Farmers with eligible lands can
receive coSt-sharing payments
up to 80 percent of the cost of
establishing the practices or a
maximum of $50 an acre.
Approved practices include
Wildlife cover and food plant
ings, marsh restoration and fish
pond construction. Wildlife food
and cover paintings may involve
multi-flora rose fence, grass
legume cover areas, evergreen
paintings for winter cover and
fruiting shrubs for winter food
Annual food patches of sorg-
hum, millet or soybeans may be
planted on conservation reserve
lands each year until a total OF
$50 an acre in federal cost-shar-
ing is used up, according to
Davis.
The Wildlife specialist says
federal cost-sharing payments
also cover payment for land
preparation, seed or planting
stock, and lime and fertilizer
The average annual rental or
eligible conservation reserve
land will be $500 to $500 an
acre this year, Davis reports.

and requires farmers TO OBTAIN
permission from the govern
ment to grow amounts up to 30
acres.
The new bill would also for
give fines levied against farmers
since 1948 fog failing to conform
to what Henderson called an
absurd bureaucratic and auth
oritarian policy"
Hendersons action in the
House of Representatives was
coordinated with Senator John
w. Bricker who introduced an
identical bill in the Senate.
Henderson charged that Amer
lean agriculture is enmeshed in
a tangle of controls victimizing
a great many farmers with COM
plex government programs in the
guise of offering assistance. 'It
is high time" he said, that we
look at this system and start
untying the straitjacket in which
our farmers have been placed
all for the rather bankrupt
promise that if restrictions are
endured with good grace, the
economic condition of farmers
will be improved.
He also charged that Congress
sional tinkering with agriculture
has resulted in situation where
Large farmers and corporate
agriculturalists get the support
and the small farmer gets the
controls"
Importers are allowed to dump
feed and seed wheat from abroad
with impunity, but the American
farmer is denied the opportunity
to grow the wheat he needs for
his own farm operations, Hen
derson explained.
He also asserted his belief that
the enactment of this bill would
not disturb the wheat market
despite the excessive senSiti-
witty" of some large wheat farm
ers who vigorously oppose any
such action by Congress. Despite
this controversy, Henderson
urged Congress to give back this
measure of freedom to the Amer
lean farmer now rather than at
some distant time when popular
indignation may force Congress
to act"

with s0,9i2,UUU, or 9Z.UD snare,
in 1856.
Chairman James L. Myers and
President William G.. Laffer
today (March l3 said improved
operations) were a major factor
in the company's profit perfor-
nance. They pointed out that
two of the company's operating
units that had been losing money
were converted into profit-mak-
ers, and that broad programs of
cost reduction also helped in
achieving results comparable to
those in 1856.
The company saw pron0unc-
ed falling off in business in the
final months Of the year, and
took active steps to bring costs
into line with lower volume
levels.
Clevite had good results in its
major field of producing precis-
ion compOnents for automobiles
and other mechanical equipment.
Its transistor and diode manu-
featuring units in Waltham,
Mass, and Dusseldorf, Germany,
recorded sharp increases in sales,
and each showed their first full
years profit.
Defense cut-backs had a sharp
effect on electronic equipment
sales, although the company
notes that ordnance development
contracts were larger than ever,
pointing toward possible produc-
ton increases in the future. De-
Velopment work was also com
pletcd on Clevite's magnetic
seismographic gear for oil pros
pecting use, and a full set Of this
electronic equipment has been
sold to a major oil company.
The company's work in the
atomic energy field moved into
production, and work is cur
rently being done on fuel ele-
ments for use in reactorS in this
country and in Sweden.
Myers and Latter said the cur
rent business recession has af-
fected sections of the economy
that furnish a major part OF
Clevite's business, "and we have
yet to see any convincing signs
that an upsWing has started.
we have brought our opera
tions into line with reduced de
mand, and are making every
effort to earn a satisfactory pro
fit on the volume available tc
us. 1t should be a difficult year
but we intend to make the mos
of it and will be ready to move
ahead strongly as the business
| climate improves again. -

Inch line to petroleum products
service has been completed and
the company is now receiving
products on the Gulf Coast for
movement to the Midwest,
George r. Brown, chairman OF
the board and Orville S. Carpen-
ter, president, reported in the
annual letter to stockholders.
Work on the reconversion of the
1,179 mile segment of the Little
Big Inch and construction of the
14-inch lateral line to Chicago
was completed when final auth
orization for the reconversion
was received from the Federal
Power Commission on January
%, 1858, and tariffs were filed
in January.
A significant diversification
step for the company was taken
during August of 1857 when
Texas Eastern acquired La
Gloria Oil and Gas Company
Corpus Christi, Texas, as a
wholly-owned subsidiary, the
report said.
In addition to the reconversion
project, extensive expansions
were made to the natural gas
system of the company. More
than 1,400 miles of new pipeline
were added to the system, six
new compressor stations were
constructed and substantial ad-
ditions in compressor horse
power were made at numerous
existing stations.
