COMMITTEE MAKES First Funds Are Approved From Sum for Strengthening Credit Firms in Drought Area. Two loans of $30,000 each were ap- | proved yesterday by the National Ad- visory Loan Committee, the first from the Government’s $10,000,000 fund for | use in_establishing or strengthening of agricultural credit corporations in drought areas. The loans went to existing corpora- tlons in_Blytheville, Ark, and Anda- Jusia, Ala., to increase their capital stocks. Other applications for loans received from North and South Caro- lina and Mississippi, are now being in- vestigated. Lewis T. Tune, committee chairman, said local participation in_ the loans approved yesterday had been more than 50 per cent. He said he believed the $10,000,000 fund would provide a total credit of $100,000,000 to farmers. Loan Board has recommended as a general practice local participation of 50 per cent, which would increase the $10,000,000 to $20,000,000. It has been generaily possible to dis- count farm paper at least five times at intermediate credit banks, which would thus bring the total credit to $100,- | 000,000.

Aage Ewaldsen, director of sales of the Washington Gas Light Co., has been appointed “director general” for the second year's membership drive of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, which will begin shortly, it is an- nounced by Harry King, president, in the current issue of Greater Washing- | ton, chamber publication. 1 The forthcoming membership cam- palgn is the second stage in the five- year expansion program, launched last Fall by the chamber under the slogan of “Forward Washington.” | Mr. Ewaldsen, who came to Wash- ington from Boston with George A.

Placing of the trees that now stand in | East Capitol street near the Capitol fur- | ther back from their present position near th> street curbs was urged yesterday by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission so that the view of the Capitol might be enhanced. Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, vice chairman and executive officer of the commission, ex- plained that the commission believes the trees should be moved back about 25 feet, as they now arch overhead and | mar the view of the Capitol looking | westward along East Capitol 3 There is a distance of 160 feet between | buiiding lines, so there is plenty of room to sh'ft back the trees. Col. Grant pointed out that it would be expensive to move back all the trees | at_once, but said it can be done grad- | ually. The time is opportune, the com- mission, believes for a start cn this pro- gram, as the new Supreme Court of the United States Building is now being tween First and Second streets, so that in that block the change should be made before the new building is_com- pleted. Likewise, in front of the Folger ibrary, a block to the east, on the other side of East Capital street there is an opportunity, the col- | onel thinks, to have the trees placed in | the new position before that structure | is finished. The commission considered the devel- opment of Upper Anacostia Park.and | gave attention to needs of the United | States Engineer Office for a flood-con- | trol plan along the Anacostia River and | its tributaries, and likewise the develop- | ment of the National Arboretum project. | The commission expressed a prefer- ence for one of the islands in the Po- tomac River to be set aside as a me- morial to the late Stephen T. Mather, former director of the National Park Service of the Interior Department and a member of the National Capital Park | and Planning Commission. Col. Grant | was authorized to confer with the | Mather Memorial Commission to work out a detailed program. Congressional authority exists for the | construction of the Mather Memorial. | No action was taken on a 1 to construct a musical bell tower in Union Station plaza, as the commission felt this was a matter for the architect of | the Capitol.
