Senate Banking and Currency Committee hears Secretary Wallace. Washington, D.C., June 7.

In addition,' he said, '60 percent of all the National Farm Loan Associations have had their capitol so impaired that they cannot make new loans. Beyond question there is room for improvement in both the general farm credit situation and the Federal Land Bank System'
