Senate Banking and Currency Committee hears Secretary Wallace. Washington, D.C., June 7. Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace, today told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee that he approved the bill to revamp the Farm Credit System because farmers need relief from 'excessive interest charges and debts which they cannot pay.

U.S. Expert on burnt and mutilated currency. Washington, D.C., Oct. 8. For years it has been the duty of Miss Bertha M. Sherfy to pass on the genuineness of the burnt and mutilated currency which is sent to the U.S. Treasury for Redemption. Miss Sherfy says she finds the most difficult currency to identify is that which has been buried underground, expose to water, dampness, etc. Charred money is too easy to identify but currency burned to a gray ash can never be distinguished. An average of three million dollars of this type of money is forwarded to the Treasury for redemption every [...]

House leader off the reservation. Rep. Edward T. Taylor, D. of Colo., and acting House majority leader for the 74th Congress created a furror on the Hill when he advocated a currency inflation method of paying off the soldiers bonus. This usual Administration stalwart is now throwing his support behind Rep. Wright Patman's plan. At the same time, Rep. Taylor declared that he was through acting as House Majority Leader unless supported by a direct cacus vote. These two decisions of the veteran threaten to disrupt House Democratic ranks even before the opening of the new session next month. Rep. Raylor is the dean of all Western Congressmen.

Secretary Wallace boosts president's suggestion for rural security loans. Washington, D.C., July 12. Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee today that the president's suggestion for loans totaling $600,000,000 for rural security projects is prudent and economic policy. He said there are 42,000 new tenant farmers each year, and 'if we continue to refuse aid to these needy families, many of them will inevitably drift in to the cities in an effort to get some kind of help there. The cost of supporting them on relief obviously will be far greater than the sum necessary to help them get a new start on the land'
