A 500 million dollar loan was asked by the treasury in the first new deal borrowing since the 1936 financial year opened just a week ago. For this half billion the government offered to pay 1 3-8 per cent Interest, a rate described by of ficials as unprecedentedly low for a similar issue. The securities put on sale were 4-year 5-month notes, dated July 15 and maturing Dec. 15, 1939. The loan asked was the first portion of more than 4 billions in new money the government must bor row if it spends the $8,520,000,000 estimated by President Roosevelt for this year and collects only $3,991, 000,000 in estimated receipts. Preparedness for heavy work re lief expenditures was believed a fac tor in the financing. It was the first time new money had been borrowed in large sums since December, tho there was a 738 million refunding operation in June. Undersecretary Coolidge, in announcing the oper ation, said no especial significance should be attached to the issue. "Our cash is low," Coolidge said, "and this seemed a good market to get the money." LIBERALS END ROUND TRIP New York. Fifteen zealous young American liberals, fresh from a Cuban detention camp, landed at the foot of Wall street to gaze upon ban ners proclaiming, "American capital is destroying Cuban liberty." Hard on their heels as they strode down the gangplank in the role of deportees from the island republic was a Cuban industrial magnate, Frank Stinhart, one of the objects of their spleen. He was all smiles, no conversation. The group made a round trip from pier 13 East river to pier 13 East river by way of Havana in just a week. They sailed last Saturday with the announced purpose of investigat ing political and social conditions in Cuba. Cuba found them "undesir able aliens," marched them forth with to the Tiscorna detention camp where the fare was unpalatable and the beds hard, they complained and reshipped them north after seventeen hours of grilling. SCENIC ROAD TURNED DOWN Alliance, Neb. -Advocates of a contemplated three states highway system are considering making new efforts toward securing the project, after receipt of word that the pro posed roads apparently had been re fused federal approval. The network of highways would have carried trev' elers from Denver north thru Ne braska's panhandle and Alliance, and on to the Black Hills. A group in the three states, head ed by L. T. Poole of Sidney, presi dent of the Denver-Black Hills High way association, has been promoting the roads for several years. The pro posed roads would link two of the scenic spots of the west, the Colo rado Rockies and the Black Hills, and for this reason advocates had felt sure the project would be included among those receiving federal aid New Efforts for the highways will be started immediately, it was indicated by Poole and Earl Mallery of the Al liance chamber of commerce. FARM INDUSTRY RECOVERS Chicago. While one army har vested the nation's crops, another es timated at 60,000 strong by trade authorities worked at top speed to supply the heaviest demand for farm implements in five years. Continuing the big gains it registered last year, the farm equipment industry was termed by its institute to have ap proached currently within 5 to 10 percent of normal employment. The farm equipment institute re gards the average for the years 1928 29-30, the year before, of and fol lowing the industry's recent sales peak, as its normal. "Our employment now," said a rep resentative of the institute, "is 45 to 50 percent in excess of that a year ago. Hay making and grain harvest ing machinery are in especially good demand."

Government Fortifies Against a Runaway Market Like That of 1929. Washington. Slowly the Roose velt new deal leadership is hammer ing into shape its additional levers designed to aid in controlling the widely discussed "coming American boom" if and when it materializes. Amid some forecasts of brightening business prospects, two of the most important levers bearing the new deal etam, the utilities and the Eccles bank bills, took on more definite form in congress the past week. Both trace their heritage directly back to the last big boom, the speculative exuberance which found its main outlet in he stock market in 1928 and 1929. Some new deal exponents see them as logical stepping stones from the earlier milestones in the Roosevelt administration's program of financial reform the securities act of 1933, the stock exchange control measure passed last year and the banking act of 1933. At any rate supporters of the utilities and the credit control bills have dipped deeply into the les sons of the post war boom days, and the subsequent crash as a background for proposals to strengthen the fed eral government's hands against a re currence of speculative abuses. Recall Last Big Splurge. The utilities bill, finally approved by the house, minus its famous "death sentence," particularly recalls the last splurge of the bull market. It was the utility holding company shares which starred in the final rocketlike ascent of the market in the summer of 1929. Tho shorn by the house of its mandate for elimin ation of "unnecessary" holding com panies, supporters of the utilities bill contend it would go far to prevent a return of speculative abuses. They view it as the completion of a circle of regulation which began with the passage of the securities act two years ago. Champions of the Eccles bill also have capitalized on events in the last boom and talk of another wave of credit inflation to push their favorite measure, i .congress. - Some of the financial heads in the new deal family have been empra sizing that the materials for an un precedented expansion of credit and fuel for a business boom lie dor mant in the nation's great stock of gold and silver, the liquidated con dition of the banking structure and accumulated demand for goods. The monetary metal supply has increased rapidly while the bank bill has been plodding on its congressional course. It now exceeds 10 billions. The fed eral government remains the chief user of available credit. Some busi ness observers, however, profess to see indications of a turn in the credit trend. As it emerged from the senate sub committee, the Eccles bill had been toned down considerably. Neverthe less, it would put broader powers In the federal reserve hoard to use cen tral banking levers to check credit inflation. Its leading proponents hail ed the Benate draft as a rcsognition of the principle of centralized mon etary control. PRESS WINS COURT FIGHT Topeka. The Kansas supreme court held that newspaper have the right to discuss the records of pub lic officialsand to call attention of voters to facts they believe to be true relative to candidates for public office. The court reversed judgment of the Riley county district court in awarding Hurst Majors, former may or of Manhattan, $1,750 damages against Fay N. Seatcn. Mapors ask ed $30,000 damages for attacks made on him by the newspaper during his campaign for street and utility com missioner. In laying down its ruling, the court said: "In connection with the coming municipal election, it is the right, if not the duty, of the pub lisher of the newspaper of the city, to call to the attention of the citi zens facs which he honestly believes to be true, together with such com ment thereon as is reasonably con nected therewith, for the purpose of enabling the electors to vote more In telligently at the election, and If done in good faith, the publication is privileged even tho some of the statements may be untrue or dero gatory to the character of the can didate."
