Spangler, Local Director Regional Director Explains Pur pose of Belief Measure. Work of the new Resettlement Ad ministration in the handling of re habilitation and resettlement prob lems in the following Nebraska coun ties, Cass, Otoe and Nemaha will be cared for under the direction of Mr. Jean H. Spangler, working in closest co-operation with County Agent D. D. Wainscott, it was announced Thursday by Cal A. Ward, regional director of rural resettlement for the states of North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. Mr. D. P. Moulton was named district super visor for 16 counties in the 3rd dis- Jtrict, with headquarters at Lincoln. With this announcement the pro cedure for applying for benefits un der the Resettlement Administration were outlined by Mr. Ward as fol lows: First, the applicant for a prop erly secured loan must be deserving and have the desire, character and ability to repay such loan under a period of from two to five years. Sec ond, the applicant will call on the local representative named above, will present his problems and the local representative will assist him in mapping out a farm budget plan looking to the re-establishment of the applicant on a self-sustaining basis. Third, the plan will be passed upon by the County Advisory Com mittee and, if approved, will then be submitted to the regional office for final action. In each case the needs of the individual applicant are of first consideration and the budgeted farm management plan will be based on the individual case. "T h e Resettlement Administra tion," said Mr. Ward, "is not a relief agency. Of course, the relief problem Is of paramount importance at this time and will be net through cur regional, state and county organiz ations but our ultimate goal is the re-establishment of the worthy and deserving farmers to a self-sustaining basis. We know there are many farm ers who have been too proud to ask for relief and who have now reached the point where they simply have to have help. We. are particularly inter ested in that group who, with a com paratively small loan, could purchase the necessary farm equipment or live stock or other capital goods and get back on their feet. We are in the field to help a farming population who have suffered intensely during the last years of drought. Their re habilitation we know will be of the greatest possible benefit to the indi vidual farmer, to the state and to the nation as a whole.

" J-i L,f&.4 : .... t S ' : :--y- ': A woman, the former secretary to Senator Huey Pierce Long, is due to play a vital part in the future fate of the political empire that was sent into temporary chr.03 with the assassination of Long at Baton Rouge, La. She is Mrs. Alice Lee Grosjean Tharpe, Louisi-1 ana's commissioner of public accounts, with unlimited authority to administer th2 state's finances as she pleases. Mrs. Tharpe has been' with Long ever sir.ee she was 17, first as his secretary when he was public service commissioner. Cass, Otoe and Nemaha counties is a tv.o-f old program, that of rahabili tation and that of resettlement. The rehabilitation program is regarded a3 a more or less temporary phase of the work. The resettlement program is the more permanent and will deal with four types of farmers: Families living on land which cannot be made to yield a satisfactory living.. The second type of farm family which will furnish candidates for resettle ment is the farm tenant class. It is estimated that at least ten per cent of the tenant farmers are potential candidates for resettlement. The third type, young couples just start ing out in life who because of eco nomic conditions would probably have to start their agricultural life as hired servants or tenants. And the fourth class under the resettlement program will be taken from rehabili tation applicants to prove their merit under the rehabilitation loan plan. "Thus it is in rehabilitation mod ,f faff-- i i r 'V, her desk. . Grosjean Tharpe erate sums will be loaned to re habilitants to be invested in capital goods and will be expended under a budgeted farm management plan for a short period until such families are able to provide their own Kubsistence and under the resettlement plan will be included purchase of land or its lease on a long terra basis upon which to establish farm families of the four types outlined above with farm own ership the ultimate goal. . "Ways and means of meeticg the immediate rural relief problem are under consideration and will be an nounced in the near future," Mr. Ward said. Further information concerning the work of rural resettlement may be obtained through County Agent D. D. Wainscott or Mr. Jean H. Spangler, local representative of the Resettlement Administration at the offices of County Agent, at Weeping Water. The local representative's of fices are at Nebraska City. r , -vv. y
