A—6 FARM CREDIT PLAN WILL BE EXTENDED Wisconsin Scheme of Refi-! nancing Mortgages Held by Closed Banks Praised. Early extension of the Wisconsin plan for refinancing farm mortgages held by closed banks and banks operating under restrictions to one State in each of the 12 Federal Land Bank districts is planned by the Farm Credit Adminis- tration. Gov. Henry Morgenthau, jr., of the administration, was described yesterday as satisfied with the progress made so far in Wisconsin where approximately $35,000,000 has been made available for the purchase of up to $50,000,000 in farm mortgages held by banks there.! ‘The refinancing is being done with one condition attached, that the banks make the funds quickly available to de- positors. Later, the plan is to be extended to all States and up to $500,000,000 will be avatlable of the $2,000,000,000 set aside for refinancing farm mortgages through | the Federal Land Banks. Appraisals of farms in Wisconsin are being made at the rate of about 100 a day with a large corps of appraisers placed in the field since the program was undertaken on June 19. Wisconsin is being used as a testing ground to de- termine the value of the program, of which officials are already convinced. Mortgages may be taken over by the credit administration for a sum not in excess of one-half of the appraised, nor- mal value of the land plus one-fifth of the permanent, insured improvements. If the old mortgage is for a sum greater than this, it will have to be scaled down to meet this condition. Morgenthau looks for a scaling down generally of about 30 per cent. The credit administration today quot- ed Gov. Schmedeman of Wisconsin as saying: “Much has been accomplished within & short time. There is the fullest co- operation between the Farm Credit Ad- ministration and State officials. I feel sure that funds to be released on farm mortgages together with other relief will go a long way toward rehabilita- tion.” GIRL, 19, IN CUSTODY IN PROBE OF HOLD-UPS | Diary of Woman Companion Checked in Search for Clues—2 Men Seized as Suspects. By the Associated Press. OMAHA, July 8—A girl who iden- tifled herself to police as Carieta Hicks, 19, of Akron, Ohio, was held today with another wom#n and two men while au- thorities investigated hold-up activities of the men here recently. Police checked the diary of Mrs. Mac McCarthy, 23, also of Akron, in an effort to obtain clues to robberies other than the three admitted by James Mar- tin of Kansas City involving Mrs. Mc- Carthy's husband. ‘The four were apprehended at Leon, Jowa, yesterday when a stolen car in which they were riding crashed into a ditch, injuring them slightly. They were returned here last night. The Hicks girl at first said she was Mrs. Martin, but later told police she lived in Akron and was married there on June 6 to Fred Slavaugh, who she said, was later sentenced for participat- ing in a robbery. She said her parents gzwe her money for a vacation to enable er to forget the affair. County Attorney Beal said he plans to charge the two men with robbery and police sald they would ask that kidnaping charges be added. The pair confessed the abduction and robbery of Leonard Yates here Thursday night. It was Yates’ car they wrecked at Leon.

Castles, Who’ Joined Navy in 1873, Goes in Retirement. By the Assoclated Press. SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 8—At 175, | Chief Boatswain's Mate Isaac O. Castles retired as Uncle Sam’s oldest sailor to- | day, with a service record dating back | to 1873, before many of the admirals | now on active duty were born. | It was a gala occasion at the destroyer base when the man who had served before the mast of the Navy’s famous | old square-rigged clippers and on the | steel decks of its modern drefld.mzughfl‘ was mustered out. | | Capt. C. W. Nimitz. commander of | | the base, called a special inspection of | | the crew in Castles’ honor, and the re- | | tiring sailor, with grandchildren as old | as some of them, bade a formal good- | by to his shipmates. | | “The grand old man of the enlisted | ranks had not served continuously in | the uniform he donned 60 years ago as |8 boy fresh from the farm near Armo, Wis., where he was born in 1858. He | left the sea and spent 40 years on a | farm near Salem, Oreg., re-enlisting in 1918 to do his bit on a transport dur- ing the World War. Twenty years of service completed, he became eligible for retirement with pay today and left | immediately after being discharged for | | Aumsville, Oreg., where he owns a farm | and where his family lives. But Castles had served at either end of a period of remarkable development in the United States Navy. “The old Navy and the new,” Castles said, contrasting the Navy of the '70s with that of 1933, “they are as differ- ent as chalk and cheese. There has been no greater change in the ships than there has been in the organiza- tion, discipline, food and accommoda- | tions for the sailors. “When I first joined the service there was very little difference between serv- ing in the Navy and on a merchant ship. Nothing was said about desertion, provided you had a good record. I served more time than I have been credited with because I left some ships to go to others which looked a little better, without. asking leave. “Hard tack and ‘salt horse’ satisfled | us then, but it certainly was terrible | compared with the saflors® fare today. | Balanced diets, fresh vegetables, variety —we never heard of them.” KELVINATOR NO MONEY DOWN Come to Jordan’s Monday.
