A hard worker with a keen, progressive mind, he soon was living evidence that the United States is a land of real opportunity for those who apply themselves. Mr. Busche often told the story of how he arrived in this country in the steerage compartment of an old steamship, yet by diligence tod perseverance was able to return to his home in Germany by first class air passage, as a recognized leader in his American community. Mr. Busche was one of the organizers of the sugar beet industry in this area. Raising sugar beets here was highly complicated, and ,during the early years of the industry Belgian and Austrian farmers were imported to help establish the sugar beets here. Later more modern methods of pitting were discovered, and numbers of Mexican Workers were brought in for sugar beet harvest. Not only did Mr. Busche run his 300 acre farm in Monroe and Washington townships, but he took a very active part in all local agricultural work. His wife helped L. E. Archbold organize the county home demonstration clubs in the county, and for many years she served as president of the county association. His son, Martin, served as one of the first county agents here, and is presently the second-ranking official in the Indiana extension program, the associate county agent leader for the state. For 24 years Mr. Busche has been a member of the board of directors at the First State Bank of Decatur, and for 13 years he has served as chairman of the board. Theodore Graliker, president of the bank, stated that his keen mind and wise counsel will be greatly missed by his friends and co-workers at the bank. Pallbearers for the services Friday will be old friends and neighbors, and honorary pallbearers will be those men who were closely associated with him in his many business and fraternal associations.

REA Opposes Any Interest Rate Hike WASHINGTON (UPD-The National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association today urged Co«v gress to resist administration attempts to shift financing of rural electric systems from government to private sources. Specifically, NRECA asked Congress to oppose any and all proposals which would raise the present 2 per cent interest rate on Rural Electrification Administration loans. It also asked congressional protection from an Eisenhower administration proposal which would send the rural systems into the private money market for their loans. The service organization also asked Congress to restore to the REA administrator the responsibility of passing on all rural power development loans of $500,0 or more. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson took over this responsibility from the REA boss about two years ago. These requests to Congress, in resolution form, were regarded as a slap in the face of the administration. President Eisenhower appeared before the convention Wednesday to back up his recommendation that REA interest rates be raised, and to remind the delegates that “REA is no longer an infant enterprise.” He also expressed the desire that “the local enterprises you represent become even stronger and more self-sufficient” Other resolutions: —Urged Congress to protect rural electric systems from territorial raids by pivate power companies. 1 . ' , —Asked for a congressional study looking toward a long range investment program for developing natural resources. Appr ov e d the President s budget calling for 245 million dollars for new loans for rural power projects in fiscal 1960. —Urged federal construction of atomic power generating plants. —Urged prompt and wholehearted congressional support to full scale water resource development in keeping with the country’s potential. —Urged legislation to permit TVA to finance futuije normal growth of its power facilities by bonds backed solely by TVA’s revenues. Miller-Jones Store Front Is Remodelled “Business going on as usual,’l was the reply from Kenneth Shanj non, manager of Miller and Jones shoe store, 142 N. 2nd., when asked if the remodelling of the store front would mean he would be closing for any time. i The exterior and interior of the store will be equipped in a most modern manner by March 7. At l this time a “grand re-Opening” of i the 26-year-old store will await Decatur buyers.

Hint At Concession On Berlin Problems BONN (UPD—Soviet diplomats here hint that their price for dropping threats of a new Berlin blockade might be cancellation of Western plans to provide atomic weapons for West Germany's growing army. In talks with West German newsman, tfo** diplomats profess wholehearted agreement with the Western. stand that there shall be •'no concessions without counterconcessions.” They say that plans to supply West German troops with Ameri-can-made atomic weapons cause the Kremlin much more concern than the presence of token U. S., British and French forces in Com-munist-encircled West Berlin. The diplomats say privately that a Western promise to abandon these plans might well be matched by a Soviet ‘‘counterconcession’’—a promise to drop the idea of handing over control of West Berlin traffic to local Communists on May 27. “After all,” they shrug, “the Western troops will have to leave Berlin in two or three years, anyway.” They did not amplify this statement. The Russians indicate that they will propose this bargain to Prime Minister Harold Macmillan when he visits Moscow next week, and present it formally at the expected Big Four conference on Berlin. They have high hopes that Macmillan, faced with the prospect of an early election at a time when opinion polls indicate that the popularity of his party is waning, can be won over to their side. “Atomic jitters” is a fairly prevalent complaint in Britain, and the question of A-arms for the Germans could prove decisive in the election.
