Senator McGill (Democrat, Kansas) said yesterday that rules fixed by the Secretary of Agriculture on crop loans had rendered the $50,000,000 voted for that purpose impotent as an aid to the farming industry. In a Democratic National Committee, he said the attitude of the administration toward agriculture was illuminated by limitations and other regulations sur- rounding the loans. The $50.000,000 was made available for loans to farmers by Congress in passing the Reconstruction Finance Corporation measure. Farmers are eli- gible to borrow to make crops if they are unable to obtain credit elsewhere. McGill said Secretary Hyde had im- posed “unwarranted limitations” in the loan rules $2,500 ASKED. FOR G.
