CliwiTOi. 8. .C.i ail THU^PAY, MAY 16, 1935 Mr,, Moseley has ^ven the following '''outline of the pkn “Under, the first plan property own- aia may borrow up tp $2,000 for all ' kinds of repairing, remodeling and generally improving their property. All types of farm-and city property improvemrats are eligible to be fi nanced under this plan. These loans may be repaid over a period of fiVe gears on a monthly basis except to fanners who are allowed to pay an nually or semi-annually, depending on their income. The rate of interest on these loans is very low, namely: five per cent discount or five dollars per one hundr^ dollars per year. “The second plan of fihance called the Amortised Insured Mortgage plan, a person may borrow to build houses, to refinance existing mortgages and to purchase existing homes up to eighty per cent of the appraised value of the property, provided the eighty per cent appraised value does not ex ceed sixteen thousand., dollars. These loans will be repaid on a monthly~fea^ ais and may extend over a period not exceeding twenty years at a rate of interest which cannot exceed five and one-half per cent. Under this plan _only one to four family dwellings are eligible to be financed and must be lo cated in a town, city or urban commu- • unity. ■ “T^ere has been around three hun dred thoiksand dollars loaned by banks and other lend\ngOnstitutiorvs in the atate and approximately two~million dollars worth.of repair and moderni- xatioTi work created by the publicity given on these campaigns, and by the cooperation of all the directly inter est^ business firms.” Bonus Bill b . jTo Be [)elayc;d Advocates of CasH Payment De cide To Hold Measure fd the A Senate For Indefinite Pigiod. Washington, May 11.---The princi pal points of divergance between the policies/oTThe New Deal and the na tion’s* idustrialists have at last been sharply defined. President Roosevelt has made it plain to everybody just what new-laws he wants Congress to enact at this session, and the Nation al Association of Manufacturers has declared its opposition to those very laws. * - FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 11th day of JuM, 19Sl>r we wHf render r final ac count of our acts and doing.s as Ad ministrators of the estate of John F.

Orf one point, however, the Admin istration and the manufacturers are in agreement. Both declare that the depression is nearly over and that complete recovery is ^lose at hand. The industrialists jUtv^gone on record as stating that upward of twenty bil lion dollars of private capital is ready to get into action, employing four million workers, if Congress and the President .will only shelve their projects for social reform. The Presi dent expresses the belief that the four billion dollars to be expended for work relief will result in putting as many men back at work, and that the legis lation which'he 1s advocating is es sential for the future v^l-jbeing of thejiation. • Specifically, the President asks of Congress that it pass the followihg measures at once: Extending the life of the NRA. Eliminating unnecessary public util ity holding companies. Empowering the Interstate Com merce Commission to regulate inter state traffic by trucks and busses and other legislation for furthering water- and air transportation. Reorganization of the banking sys tem and increasing the powers of the Federal Reserve Board. Busy Days Ahead It is. entirely reasonable, therefore, to expect that .some sort of legislation corresponding in greater or less de gree to what the President has asked for will be pushed through both hous es of Congre.ss, in spite of the fact that the legislators have more work ;^ead of t¥em than they fcan get through with and adjourn in time to go home and make Fourth-of-July speeches. Whether what legislation they deliver will be precisely what the Pre.sident wants is still doubtful. All of the signs now point to the enactment of the so-called “Eccles” banking bill in just about the form in which it was submitted. -The bank ers who opposed it either did not have their opposition well enough organ ized or were timid about pressing their objection.s. Some shrewd ob- .servers,’ suggest that the President played a clever political trick on the bankers when he.‘‘took them into camp” at their annual convention here and induced them to pr6mi.se to play ball with the Administration. The new banking law will practical ly center control of all credit with the Federal Reserve Board, besides put ting control of the Board into the hands of the Treasury. Thus the Gov ernment will become the final, arbiter when anyho<ly wants to borrow money in any, considerable amount for any purpose. Modified NRA The. final form in which the NRA legislation will come.-out of the hopper is still doubtful. The belief grows here that it will be greatly trimmed down from the ambitious plan of Donald Richberg. Price and production control are expected to be eliminated, except for industries based on natural resource.s. There probably will be a restoration of the princi ples of the anti-trust laws and strict er construction of the interstate com merce provisions; while the labor pro visions of the pre.sent law seems un likely to he changed much. Washington, May 14.—Jf^atman bo nus bill forO^ made a quick change of strategy today, conceding weakness by deciding to hold the new-money plan from the presidential veto pen fon an indefinite period. _ Senator ThomM, of Oklahoma, a leader of the Patman-itee, Ihe^ abandonment of the plan , an nounced laet night to let the congreas- approved bill go to the White House t^ay was predicated cm a desire to nrutke'the b^t showing possible when the veto-overriding test came and to aviod filibustering until they could muster all their votes. It was a w^k ago today the. senate passed^ the'currewey-bomB, bill by a vote of 55-33. Since then the bill hM been held up by it« friends while they tried to rally public sentiment to force it through over a. veto with a two- thirds vote. ‘ Their sudden reversal of plans to day was taken as an indication that they have failed in this objective. Friends of the measure conced^ .they did not have the votes to approve the bill over President Roosevelt’s objec tions.

Col. Fulp was introduced by S. W. Sumerel, his friend and class-mate at Presbyterian college, of which the for mer is an alumnus. The clidx heard the administrator with interest; and ex tended him a vote of thanks and ap preciation for his presence and the in formation he brought to the mem bership. STATE LIQUOR LAW PASSES Columbia; Umy 14. -- Votea were nMrshalled in 'the house today for a bittOT test tomorrow on over-riding an executive veto affecting 11 dJT the sections of'^tbe annual appropriation act. Anti - administration spokesmen claimed that at least a postal of the sweeping, veto would be over-ridden w;hen ‘the chamber takes it up section bjr section. The senate would be called upon to act on any sections which the house might-over-ride but those that the representadvee sustain would be fi nal because the bill originated in that chamber. Legisktors' eiid Governor OUn O. Johnston’s action in etrikipg oxit the $4,044 salary of his inveterate enemy. Chief Highway Commissioner Ben M. Sawyer, and J[^8,062 for the state board of bank control appeared most Hkriy to be sustained. The house, like the governor, disap proved of the state bank board and made no provision ^or it in its appro priation bill on the ground advanced in the veto, message today that federal deposit insurance should obviate the necessity for state bank audits. / It was understood that the post of chief highway commissioner, created r if' ^pon which the two brandies failed to ai^." Their rieports wm« aoxkmsl]^ awaited as an element in bringing thf session to an end. / AhhoughxMme m^bers speculated that the g^vnnor’a veto measago would complicMaaad prolong the ses sion perhaps be^>^ this wedc-end. Speaker Claude A commented that the general assemhly “can finish up and go home'this wc^-end” if it Works hard enough.. BIfora receiving the veto roetsage, the house adopted reaolutiona for vestijiataons of the hours aod wages of lower-sa!laried state employees and of “pick clocks’* in textile mills. SPECIAL Better Homes and Gardens, with My Garden Helperl--17 aumtha. tL0<L JAMES'W. CALDWELL 38 at 12:30 (Continued from page one) of this committee, I discussed various phases of the difficulties the state government may well expect to en counter, reiterating my firm insistence that whatever legislation was evolved this year should be in the form of an experiment, so that the mistakes made in 1936 might be corrected as early ae possible. It was not my purpose to do so, but I earnestly counselled with them to the end, that the best possible legislation acceptable to the general assembly would materiiJize. “The report of the free conference committee was submitted to both the senate and house of representatives, and adopted by these bodies. In its final draft it contains some of the rec ommendations I advanced; quite a few others were, not included. T^ right ^ the people to pass on the system ap proved by the general a.s8embly in the 1936 primaries,, is a part of the meas ure, thus affording bur people the privilege of being heard at the ballot box, if they desire to register disap proval of this legislation. fiPBCIAL OFFER Hm Paiwts Magaaiac, A Maatlia for fl.M.

There is a good chance for a meas ure to give the federal government control over trucks in interstate cum merce; not much chance for the rest of Railroad Coordinator Joe East- man’s program.^ Perhaps some sort of a ship-subsidy bill will come out this session, under presidential pressure, but wise ones shake their heads over this. Not that there is great opposi tion to it, but it is a subject that takes a lot of study and consideration CoMprMiiaea Likely In short, what the president will get from congress will be. a series of compromises, which will not look so much like compromises as if he had personally indorsed the precise terms of the measures he advocates. He has kept himself in a good strategical po sition, in which he can claim credit for any measure that covers the sub- jjects he has advocated. On only one matter has the presi dent assumed personal responsibility. That is the matter of the spending of the 4 billion dollars of work-relief money. Washington, incidentally, has already given this its set of initials. It is known as WRP—^“Work Relief Pro '•«v.
