Many Farm Families Are Aided By FHA

Numbers of families been able to go into* farming dn f Adams county Only through the gpod offices of the farmers home "admin- • i station. < The office here in Decatbr serves 4 tjO “ aid three surrdundihg counties. Jay,, Allen, Wells, Rs. well as Adams county and hasj since its appearance in 1946 pn -the local scfene, loaned out overt $140,-000-in the county alone. The farmers home administration is empowered to lend hnoneyf through the passage of the; Bank-head-Jones act.' It provides that funds be given to farinerfe who I don’t- have sufficient capital of their own . and can’t v negoiiate a loan from any ‘of. the regulal banking institutions, the federal land bank or the production cremt, association— Qr in amounts ; sufficient for their needs, or within the proper interest range. Money ’ is -provided for the following four reasons: “To improve, operate, enlarge Or buy a farm.” A change in credit controls that came about last year is &till in force and permits agencies to v make somewhat larger loros for farm dwellings, constructiqh repair costs over $2,56’0; The amount the farmer can borrow varies with the transaction price of the house. ' If- tjie ,transaction price Ils between $2,5w and $7,001, a veteran may borrow up to 100 percent; a non-vet may borrow up to percent of the transaction price.. At present, said ah administration spokesman, the inoiS’y pn had. for loans at the local foffi|Ce makes it necessary for a "priority for veterans. ' , , Money is not available to pay bills that have aikumulated in the past; mon'ey can only be given for the needs of the following year, provided, of course, the borrower satisfies the standards set b> tjhe office.

Taft Insists His Bill Not Against Labor Denies Provision For Injunctions Is Anti - Labor WASHINGTON VP — Senate Republican leader Robert A. Taft insisted today the Taft-Hartley law provjsioq allowing injunctions against national emergency strikes is not “anti-labor,” He and Sen. Irving M. Ives R-N. Y. wrangled about the injunction provision during a sena’e labor hearing on proposals for amending the TaftHartley law. 1 Ives started the argument with Powell C, Groner of Kansas oityj who was testifying’' for the UL Si Chamber Vof Coinmerce. Groner urged retention of the 80-day antistrike injunction! provision - but Argued against allowing government seizure of plants in the national emergency [disputes. The New York senator said! Groner was forj t.he Injunction! “against labor” but opposed t » seizure, which would be aimed against management. Committee chairman H. Alexander Smith said meanwhile that “everybody is agreed’’ new ways should be provided Jn law to combat Communist — dominated unions. A i The New Jersy Republican predicted the law will be amended tc provide that some government agency investigate unions against which Communist charges are filed and to rule whether they are Communist controlled. Smith’s committee started hearings Tuesday On proposed amendments to the six-year-old TaftHartley act. \ \ I

Senate Republican leader Robert Al Tass, chief architect of the law, sajd that ’ provision has become “gradually ineffective ’’ He recommerided that congress study whether Communist-dominated unions should be “directly disqualified” from representing employees. j The law now requires non-Cdim munist affidavits 1 from officers oT unions using government machinery to obtain bargaining recognition or to protect organizations against “unfair labor practices.’’ Unions which allegedly [follow the Communist party line have met the .'requirement without a bohule. 1 ; \ The house un-American activities ciomipittee has recommended c hat a government agency decide, whether unions are, Communistcontrolled. Sen. Barry M[. ' Gold'water R-Ariz.. labor member, has introduced a bill to' 1 assign that function to the subversive activities cohtrol board. Under the Goldwater bill, a union, foundyto he Communist dominated would fitrfeir all rights unless Communist officials were removed within 30 days. Sen. Paul ( H.
