Railroads Need
U. S. Aid in Re
financing Task
2 Billion, 300 Millions of Securities
Mature in 1934 Some Plan
Must Be Worked Out.
Washington, Dec. 2C. The govern
ment is going to have to help the na
tion's railroads meet $2,300,000 of
refinancing during the next year, in
the opinion of Jesse II. Jones, RFC
chairman.
Discussing the situation of some of
the great carriers, Jones said, how
ever, that the banks would have to
carry most of the load.
"We must find some way to help
the railroads meet their maturing se
curities," he said. "Some plan of
government assistance will have to
be worked out but I do not think that
we can do more than a small part."
Talk Railroad Agency.
Several of the large railroads, in
cluding the Xew York Central which
has a May 1 maturity of more than 40
million dollars of bonds have dis
cussed the situation with members of
the corporation.
There has been some discussion of
a proposal to set up another govern
ment agency to aid the railroads, but
it was pointed out today that the
RFC has a complete organization for
handling loans that probably could
deal with the situation more econom
ically than a new unit.
In government circles it was in
dicated that whatever federal financ
ing of industry is to be done should,
in the opinion of officials, be handled
through banks with government par
ticipation being held to a minimum.
Look to the Banks.
It was remarked that the govern
ment cannot do all of the financing
necessary and that with the banks
having so much at stake, they must
supply most of the money and look
alter the loans.
The RFC is rapidly getting into a
position where it will own stock or
capital notes in one-third of all the
country's open banks.
Up to Christmas day it3 board had
authorized purchases of capital notes
and preferred stock in 3.4S7 banks,
totaling C97 million dollars. In many
instances this stock represents an ac
tual majority of the stock in the re
spective banks.
Lend to Closed Banks.
Applications for sale to the corpor
ation of preferred stock and notes up
to today totaled 4,170. There are
approximately 14 thousand banks in
the country.
The corporation up to Christmas
made 1,352 loans to receivers andi
conservators of closed banks, the to
tal advanced being approximately 582
million dollars.
REUNITED AFTER 26 YEARS
Kansas City. The first reunion of
a mother with her four children in
twenty-six years heightened the joy
of Christmas at a home here. When
he was two and one-half years old,
the son was placed in a home at Des
Moine3, and later was adopted under
the name he now bears, Cecil Lund.
His present home U Laurens, la. The
three daughters were placed in a
home in St. Joseph, Mo. They now
are Mrs. Gerald Winters, of Marys
ville, Mo., Mrs. Charles A. Walker
and Mr3. Adeline Walker of Kansas
City.
Two months ago, the mother, Mrs.
George E. Davis, wrote the home at
Des Moines where her son had been
placed. Her letter arrived there sim
ultaneously with one from Lund to
learn where she lived. A newspaper
advertisement previously had aided
the sisters in finding their mother.
Monday all met for the first time
together in twenty-six years at the
home of Mrs. Charles A. Walker.
"It seems good to see a fellow's slsT
ters," Lund said, "I had never seen
them before and they had seen only
a picture of me taken when I was
18 months old."
LIQUOR PRICE DROP SEEN
Washington. Dr. James M. Doran,
supervisor of the distilled spirits in
stitute, said reductions would be made
In some of the wholesale prlce3 for
blended liquor that he submitted to
the federal alcohol control adminis
tration last week. "We expect to
shave some of them down but I can't
say which ones," he said. "The list
I gave the FACA was not complete. I
expect to submit a full list after the
first of the year. That list will con
tain revisions of the early prices."
Doran coupled this statement with
an expression of " dissatisfaction at
the extent of liquor Imports. "Any
whisky from any place would be a
good thing," he said.

S !
Corn-Hog Plan .
Reduction of the first corn benefit
payment of the corn-hog contract
from 20 to 15 cents carries with the
change a feature which will probably
appeal to ninety per cent of the Ne
braska farmers who sign contracts,
W. II. Brokaw, state corn-hog admin
istrator, predicts.
The new feature is that the corn
hog contract will be given a "pre
liminary approval" , and the first 15
cents will be paid before the county
allotment committee finishes its final
check cn the farmers' figures. This
system should speed up the program
and get the benefit payments back
into Nebraska farmers hands several
weeks or even months sooner than
would otherwise be possible.
In signing up the corn-hog con
tract, the farmer will fill out the
f.rst part of the form as the applica
tion to have his figures considered
by the county allotment committee.
The latter part of the contract is fill
ed out by the allotment committee.
Signing up the last part of the con
tract is an acceptance of the correc
tions and adjustments which the
ccunty allotment committee has made
in the farmer's original figures. The
second signature makes the contract
binding. '
By signing his name in both places
when he turnz in the form for the
first time, a farmer can agree to take
whatever adjustment the allotment
committee finds it necessary to make.
In return he is assured the prompt
payment of the first installment of
his own benefit which amounts to 15
cents per bushel on his acres and
yield. Then if the allotment commit
tee adjusts his production figures, he
will get the remainder of the bene
fit payment that is coming to him
next fall.
Usa of Contracted Acres
"What can I do with the land tak
en cut of wheat and corn?" ha3 been
one of the most common questions
farmers ask about the wheat and
corn-hog adjustment plans. As they
make plans for 1934 crops, farmers
are becoming more anxious every day
to know what they can do with the
ground.
In most cases farmers have admit
ted that the government wa3 paying
them a good return for the land and
they could afford to leave it lie idle
cr seed it down to Improve the fertil
ity of. the soil. Thousands of farmers
over the corn belt are now thinking
more about the" future productivity
cf their farms than they have thought
in the last 20 years. Taey want to
use the money from the benefit pay
ments to help finance a soil improve
ment program.
Rulings on what may be done with
the land taken out of wheat are:
1. Plant it to permanent pasture,
including alfalfa and clovers, with
or without a nurse crop.
2. Planted to a soil improvement
crop like sweet clover. The crop can
not be pastured or cut for hay.
3. Fallowed to store moisture or
kills weeds.
4. Planted to farm wooa lots.
These points and many others will
be taken up at community meetings,
at school houses and other meeting
places In the next few weeks. Farm
ers will have a chance there to ask
more questions and get each other's
ide s.
GETS PART OF JULIAN BOND
Oklahoma City. The government
collected $5,000 on C. C. Julian's $25,-
000 bond, forfeited when the oil pro
moter fled to China rather than face
trial on mail fraud charges here. The
money had been posted as a reward
for Julian, alleged to have swindled
15,000 stockholders in his company of
more than 3 million dollars, by two of
his bondsmen, John H. Peacock, oil
man, and Mrs. O. A. Cr.rgill, wife of
Julian's former attorney. The other
bondsmen were Frank Russell, oil
man, and John H. Peacock, inc.
Federal Judge Vaught said no
judgment could be entered against
Julian since he had not been served
with legal notice. " However, attor
neys for the other signers indicated
they hoped to obtain redress if Julian
ctill holds any porperty in this coun
try. The judge said ample time would
be allowed for payment of the re
mainder of the bond.

Hot Care to Serve on a Board
Under the NRA Ad

independents who were recntly in
vited to serve on a new board under
the recovery administration to hear
complaints from small businessmen
are balking at the idea that Hugh S.
Johnson wants the board to be a con
tact organization between the recov
ery unit and congress. Senator Nye,
North Dakota, said if Johnson wanted
the board to be a contact group in
stead of serving entirely under the
recovery administration the project
should be deferred until congress ex
pressed itself. If congress wanted
such a board, he added, it could say
so and appoint Its own members. Nye
expressed doubt whether a resolution
for a congressional invstigation of
the recovery administration could be
approved, but said there was great
need for revising many of the codes
to protect the Independents In busi
ness from "monopolies."
Senator Borah, the other senator
asked to serve on the board, has turn
ed down the request flatly unles?
