The Ne braska congressional delegation and Arthur Mullen of Omaha, democratic national committeemen, met behind closed doors this afternoon and voted to recommend Grand Island as the location for the main office for state administration of the home loan act. The vote was four for Grand Island, two for Omaha and one for North Platte. Personnel of the office was not de cided, but was deferred to a later meeting. The group also voted to re commend branch offices in Omaha, Norfolk, Lincoln and Scottsbluff. William Stevenson, chairman of the federal home loan bank board, said today the administration would be guided insofar as possible by the delegation's recommendation for a location, but would not follow it if the selection was considered unwise.

A warning that grasshoppers are hatching in large numbers in central South Dakota and at other scattered points and consti tute a potential menace to this year's crops was sounded by A. L.

Rock Island to Use New Bank ruptcy Act Asks Sanction for Reorganization as Result of Maturing Debts Refused Further Loans. Chicago. The Rock Island lines, a major unit in the transportation scheme of the middle west, sought surcease from maturing debts under the new federal bankruptcy act. The Railroad Credit corporation, the In terstate Commerce commission and the Reconstruction Finance corpor ation all had pulled the purse strings tight when the Rock Island solicited loans that would have averted receiv ership. Directors of the 8,340 mile line, meeting at New York, found no other way out ,of its difficulties and au thorized the filing of a voluntary petition in U. S. district court. It was filed here, shortly afterward, ask ing the court to give it the shelter of the new bankruptcy act, and sanc tion a reorganization without actu ally adjudicating the railroad as bankrupt. This was the second large carier to petition the Chicago federal court under the new law. The Rock Island had gone thru a reorganization period eighteen years ago, emerging from federal receiver ship in 1917. It was founded in 1880 as an amalgamation on small western lines and now operates in fourteen states from Illinois to Louisiana and New Mexico to South Dakota. The immediate maturities to be met were principal and interest to taling $2,100,000 due Juno 1, and other payments due October and January. The Reconstruction Finance corporation has loaned $13,718,000 on collatteral the Rock Island Eaid was worth $40,302,465. The R. F. C. refused to grant any further loan. The directors, in a statement is sued at New York, said that a reor ganization might have been avoided were it not for the large maturities at a timew hen there is no public market for bond issues. They stated that total capitalization was only $57,000 a mile. The railroad's earn ings on its common stock were $10.62 a share in 192G, improved to $14.04 in 1929 and since have dwindled un til the company failed by $10,000,000 to earn its bond interest last year and is still running short of fixed charges this year.
