11 (AP)Electricity is being made available to an additional 1,394 farm and rural homes in South Dakota through Rural Electrification Administration (REA) loans in the year ended last June 30, the agency reports. The REA said South Dakota loans for the year totaled $2,290,600. Not all of this is going into lines for new consumers. Much of the money. will be spent to provide better service for present users.

With more and more of South Dakota's farms being electrified, the total of REA loans to the state in the last fiscal year was only about half of the $5,415,000 total for the preceding year. An REA survey shows that 88 per cent of South Dakota's farms now are electrified and that REA-financed loans accounted for 90 per cent of the total. Through June 30, 1954, REA loans to South Dakota since the program started 1935 totaled $73,689,203. These loans were made to 36 borrowers, all cooperatives, build 51,594 miles of line to serve 66,983 consumers. The REA debt repayment summary, covering all transactions to Jan.

1, 1954, shows South Dakota's borrowers paid $2,083,790 in interest and have repaid $3,888,018 on the principal. The first REA loan for South Dakota was approved in May, 1936, and the first REA-financed line was put in operation 0c- tober, 1937, by the Clay-Union Electric Cooperative of Vermillion. REA began making loans for rural telephone service in 1950. Since then REA has loaned 310,000 for this purpose in South Dakota to one commercial firm and eight cooperatives. This has provided service to 5,499 new customers and improved service for 6,456 others, the agency reports.

Both our peace-time future which depends upon adequate educational and economic opportunities for our youth and our national defense which requires an alert and welltrained citizenry benefit from 8 multiple-purpose structure of this type. "In this manner," Mundt continued, "we can move forward constructively to help provide for America's rapidly developing needs for additional schools and at the same time preserve our cherished American heritage of keeping the control of our school systems and their educational offerings in the hands of state and local governing bodies." Discussing conditions he had observed in foreign travels, Mundt said, "No place else but in America do children enjoy the opportunity of 12 years education at public expense and are they taught how to do' instead of 'what to Nowhere else does self- by individual citizens, the competitive spirit developed in athletic contests and school activities, national defense under civilian leadership, and docal control of educational and political decisions flourish and function AS they do in the United States.

ARMY TO ASK FOR BIDS ON OAHE BASIN Job Will Be Sixth Major Contract in Building History of Dam Omaha, Sept. 11-Army Corps of Engineers has announced it will issue invitations about Oct. 8 for bids on stilling basin work on Oshe Dam at Pierre. It is expected bids will be opened on or about Nov.

23. The stilling basin job will be the sixth major contract in the construction history of Oahe Dam. Jobs let thus far include Stage 1, 2 and 3 earth work, sheet pile cutoff wall and upstream half of the six flood control tunnels. The stilling basin is a massive reinforced concrete structure at the downstream end of the six flood control tunnels. Approximately 500 feet square, it consists of a paved floor slab varying from 5 to 8 feet thick; five reinforced concrete training piers about 35 feet high and 252 feet long extending downstream from the tunnel portals like huge fingers.

The stilling basin acts like 8 huge brake on flow of releases from the flood control tunnels. Velocity of the water entering the basin is about 48 miles an hour, but by the time it reaches the end of the basin, the flow is reduced to approximately 10 miles an hour. By way of comparison, flows coming out of the tunnels generate about 1,700,000 horsepower or equal to the power of 261 streamline trains traveling 48 miles an hour. The contractor will be required to commence work by March 1, 1955 and complete the entire work by Sept. 15, 1957.

FHA Fires S.D. Man for Taking Parties, Favors Washington, Sept. 11 (P) -The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) today announced the firing of Andrew Frost, its assistant state director for New Mexico who was accused of accepting favors- including "girlie parties" from building contractors. Frost, 43, was suspended in June and has been on leave, pending disposition of charges irregularities in office. He refused citing his constitutional right to avoid self-incrimination, to answer Senate Banking Committee questions about fishing trips and parties allegedly given him by contractors doing business under FHA-insured loans.

The accusations were investigated by William F. McKenna, deputy administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency (HHFA) whose staff has explored reported abuses of FHA's home modernization program and a now-discontinued postwar apartment building program. A brief FHA announcement of Frost's "removal" effective Sept. 9, carried no elaboration as to McKenna's findings. The Albuquerque official joined FHA in 1934 and became assistant director for New Mexico in 1950.

He is a native of Huron, S.D, In the Senate hearings on the Housing program "scandals," Chairman Capehart (R-Ind) and the committee counsel failed to obtain replies from Frost as to whether he had attended a party on March 31, 1953 with "girls furnished by the contractor." Frost also declined to state whether he had participated in another party at an Alamogordo Motel and whether a construction project was charged $300 to $400 for three girls who reportedly attended. He also declined to say whether he accepted two fishing trips, with the government paying part of the travel costs and building contractors the rest, and whether he accepted two loads of concrete blocks from a building materials concern without payment. la.

The Rapid City Commission members took a dim view today of substituting real estate taxes for household personal property taxes, a county assessor plan for first class cities. and taxation state propbased on 50 perf cent of true valuation. They did, however, go on record in favor of uniform tax assessment dates for the city and county. The proposal for elimination of household personal property taxes came from County Auditor Millie Sayler and was presented to the commission by City Assessor Bruce Gillis. Mrs.

Sayler said elimination of the personal property tax would save the city and county $24,000 in office expenses and could be made up by imposing a threemill real estate tax. The commission was unanimously opposed to the county tax assessor bill, maintaining city rule was better than state control with its pollties. The county tax assessor plan would have the county assessor in GOP Slogans Are Blasted by Holum Huron, Sept. 11 (P) Ken Holum, Democratic candidate U.S. Senate, said today Republicans "demonstrated their skill at sloganeering and ballyhoo at the State Fair." Holum said he referred to GOP claims that the Eisenhower administration has "stabilized the farmer's pocketbook." "These claims broadcast from State Fair GOP headquarters," Holum said, "shouldn't fool any South Dakota farmer who has been victimized by the flexible price support program, declining farm prices for the past two years, and now, the debacle of the egg market." Farmers selling the bulk of their eggs from 13 to 18 cents a dozen, Holum said, should resent the "pocketbook stabilization claim being made by South Dakota Republican leadership." Holum said the egg situation has reached a point where the Secretary of Agriculture should start immediately on a government egg-buying program for the school lunch program and other such agencies to stabilize the price and save the farmers another "tremendous loss."

Thorgrimsen called the proposal to levy all taxes in the state on 50 per cent of valuation "a silly and mechanical thing." no better than the present state law stating all assessments should be on a 100 per cent of true valuation which is now completely disregarded," Thorgrimsen said. "We need a grass roots study of the entire state taxation system and methods. Our position should be that they shouldn't monkey with the present state law until a profound grass roots study is made," the city manager said.
