loans of up to 100 million dollarsto build now Government assistance, however, Would not cover more than 85 percent of the cost of the facilities and the borrower himself would be required to put up at least $45,000. The agriculture department wrote agriculture committee chairman Harold D. Cooley (D-N. C.) earlier this year that It approves the general .purpose of the measure hut capnot recommend its passage. - The department took the view that where plans for building new market facilities are entirely sound they are self-liquidating and hence can be carried out with private financing. ii added: .‘‘The department believes that any consideration of insured loans for market facilities for perishable commodities should be withheld until a more thorough effort has been made to attract private capital for the purpose of financing such projects.” The house committee first began plugging for this measure a number of years ago after a subcommittee under Rep. George Grant (D-Ala.) conducted coast to coast hearings and found markets in many cities in deplorable condition. The current bill contains a declaration of policy to the effect that marketing facilities in large consuming areas ‘‘are in most instances inadequate and obsolete.” i Committeemen held that such I conditions lead to uneconomic practices, undue losses and greatly increased marketing costs, and thus result in producers receiving prices far below the reasonable value of their products.

(INS) — Efforts were made today to raise the Merom ferry boat and a 19 ton loaded truck which took it to the bottom of the Wabash river. The sinking occurred on the Illinois side of the river at Merom Wednesday afternoon. The ferry had been in service only seven days when it was eased to the bottom of the river by a truck believed to weigh eight and one. half tons, which carried an additional 11 tons of frozen chicken, bound from Gainesville, Ga. to Chicago. Capacity of the ferry is only 13 tons, six tons under the apparent weight with which it was burdened. James Reed, driver of the truck, was carried under water as the truck and ferry sank, but escaped from the cab and swam safely to shore. Water in the Wabash at this point is about 15 feet deep. Reed was questioned by Illinois police as to whether he had tried to cross the river on the ferry to avoid their weighing stations, but he denied that he had. He was released without being charged. However, officers said that when the truck and its load gets back to dry land, they expect to weigh it and see if it is above legal weight limits. “Reed said that he had called representatives of the truck owners, T & S Foods Co., and was told to “get back on Ind. 41 where you know the roada.” He said he was endeavoring to do so when he took the ferry. Ben Riggs, operator of the Merom ferry, said he asked Reed the gross weight of the truck and load before allowing the vehicle onto his craft and that the driver told him 12 tons, one under the ferry’s capacity. But Reed claimed the ferry operator asked him the net weight. Walter Cooper, ferry owner, placed the craft in operation a week ago and said that 291 vehicles had been carried across the river before the sinking. Trade to a Good Town — Decatur
