A—4 *» THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, JULY 19, 1937. FARMLOANVOTE URGED BY BORAH Will Try to Get Action to Override Veto at Ses- sion Tomorrow. By the Associatea Press, Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, proposed yesterday that the Senate, before resuming its court fight, join the House in overriding President Roosevelt's veto of low in- terest rates on Federal farm loans. He served notice he would try to get action when the Senate recon- venes tomorrow. “The farmers ate not yet out of the depression by any means,” Borah asserted. Disregarding Mr. Roosevelt's con- tention that there is “no justification” for ‘subsidy” interest rates of 3!, or 4 per cent on nearly $3.000,000,000 of loans to farmers, the House voted last Tuesday, 260 to 98, to override the veto. Cites High Interest Rates. “It seems to be overlooked,” Borah eaid in a statement. “that if this bill does not pass, these farmers—many of them—will have to go back to the old contract interest rate, which is not 4 per cent as is so often said. “Many of the loans are at 5 per cent, some of them are 5'. per cent, and some are as high as 6 per cent. The Government is borrowing money at as low as 2'y per cent. “Notwithstanding better conditions on the farm, owing to the tremendous load which the farmer was carrying by reason of the depression during the last six years, about 150 out of 1,000 farmers are annually losing title to their farms, or more than 250,000 a year.” Passed by Both Houses, The controverted measure Went through both branches by big margins last month. It provides for continu- ing for another year the existing 314 per cent “emergency” rate on ap- proximately $2.000,000,000 of Federal Land Bank loans. A 4 per cent rate then would apply for one year, In additio would cut from 5 to 4 per cent the rate on about $833,- 000,000 of Land Bank commissioner loans, largely secured by second mort- gages, President Roosevelt said in his veto message that the proposals would cost the Treasury about $40,000.000 in the present fiscal year, at a time when he 4s trying to balance the budget, Strikes (Continued From First Page) this town,” Locher said. “and to this situation to a head we first k on school house work and the ¢ extend later to all munici- 1 work.

ANDOVER, N. J, July 19.—Three hundred uniformed boys and girls set- tled down today to the healthy routine of outdoor life at Nordland, Nazi-em- blemed camp in the Sussex hills, after a day of “heiling,” folk-dancing and beer drinking by 8,000 parent members of the German-American Volksbund. The 100-acre site is one of 21 camps in the United States where more than 200.000 children of German descent spend the Summer hiking, swimming, playing and sun bathing, said husky Fritz Kuhn, New York chemical engi- neer who is the Volksbund leader.

By the Associated Press. CHARLESTON, S. C., July 19.—+Two Coast Guard ships, the Colfax and the Yamacraw, swept the open seas 275 miles southeast of Charleston to- day in search of a Coast Guard ambu- lance plane which was disabled and abandoned after responding to an emergency call to remove an ill sea- man from the destroyer Dahlgren. ‘The patient, Louis J. Wagner, 32, of San Diego, Calif, and the four members of the plane crew arrived here early today abroad the Dahlgren. Wagner was transferred off the harbor to the naval tug Catawba, which rushed him to the Navy Yard, where he underwent an operation for gangrenous appendix. Physicians said a few hours later that his condition was “‘very good.” The Colfax, a patrol boat, and the Yamaeraw, a cutter, were ordered to salvage the plane if possible The ambulance plane took off from | the air base here at 10 am. today un- der orders to get into contact with the Dahlgren, which two hours earlier was reported approximately 375 miles from Charleston A report received at the air base said the plane had found the de- stroyer and had landed at 1:20 pm An hour later a radio message was received that the craft was damaged and unable to fly. The plane was in command of Lieut. Carl G. Bowman. Other members of the crew were Copilot Vernon G Tuller, M. E. Terrell, radio operator, and Harry F. Brown, pharmacist's mate.

It will be attended by Burke, Benators Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon- tana; O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyo=- ming; Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, and half a dozen others who have been most active in the fight. Vice President Garner, who joined the party at Little Rock, told Senators he would take no part in the court controversy, nor in the equally close- drawn struggle for the Senate lead- ership. He conferred today with both can- didates for the leadership, Senators Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky, and Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, but carefully avoided any appearance of favoritism. As the train paused briefly at Cin- cinnati en route to Washington, Garner said he was uncertain how long he would remain in the Capital. | “I'll determine that when I get there,” he ‘said between puffs on a long black cigar. Postmaster General Farley contin=- ued his consultations with Senators on both sides of the court issue, but persons to whom he had talked said little progress had been made toward working out a compromise.
