In some cases the disaster victims may qualify for loans from both agencies; today's change was necessary to provide maximum help within the limits of each agency's disaster loan program.

For instance, FHA can make loans to farmers to replace lost household furnishings, personal effects, and to repair or replace farm machinery. SBA, on the other hand, can make machinery and equipment loans only to non-farmers. Through the new program, Farmers Home Administration will make loans for homes to farmers and rural families who live in communities up to 10,000 population in addition to continuing programs for farm emergency loans. Also, the FHA, as agent for the Small Business Administration, will assist families in completing SBA loan applications to replace household furnishings.

Carl Mclntire stages his third win-the-war march in the nation's capital today with a plea that "President Nixon will be listening to us just like he listened to the hippies." The thousands were coming by bus and private autos to arrive in time for a parade up Pennsylvania Avenue to a 2 p.m. reound of speechmaking at the Washington Monument. Most of them planned to return home without an overni6l.l stay. Mclntire backed away from predicting a turnout for his Patriots' March for Victory, but said prospects are good the number will exceed the big April 24 antiwar march which drew a police-estimated crowd of 175,000. In a warmup for today's event, about 200 followers gathered with Mclntire at the Capitol for 90 minutes of singing and praying Friday night.

The praying was led by Mclntire and Pastor Henry Campbell of Dexter, with a dozen in the crowd each saying a solo prayer to repeated echoes of "Amen."

(AP) Mariner 8, scheduled for launching tonight toward an orbit of Mars, and Marine 9, set to follow May 18, should provide more than 8,000 of the best photographs yet of the puzzling red planet. The pictures and other data gathered by the satellites could help determine if a primitive life form such as microbes or tiny plan ts could exist on Mars. The twin spaceships are the first intended to orbit another planet. Mariner 8 starts the 287-million-mile journey stop an Atlas-Centaur rocket scheduled to blast off between 9:11 and 9:53 p.m. EDT.

Both vehicles are to fire into Martian orbit in November after six-month trips. Mariner 8 is Band Delta Eelctric Power Association, Delta Machine Works, Delta Supply Company, Miss Marion Dickins, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ditto, Mr. and Mrs.

SAIGON AP) Communist-led forces sprang two ambushes on allied troops today, one of them on a small U.S. reconnaissance patrol, during the first hours of unilateral ceasefires in South Vietnam for Buddha's birthday. Two U.S. and two South Vietnamese soldiers were reported killed and three Americans and five South Vietnamese were reported wounded. Enemy losses were now known.

The U.S. Command said enemy forces also fired 30 rounds of small arms at a second American patrol operating about four miles away from the patrol that was ambushed. The second patrol suffered no casualties, the command said. The three attacks were the only incidents reported during the overlapping truces announced by the Viet Cong and the allies. But reports from the field often lag in reaching Saigon headquarters.

The 48-hour Viet Cong ceasefire went into effect at 7 a.m. Saigon Time. Five hours later, a 24-hour allied truce began, but the U.S. air war continued unabated over North Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The U.S.

patrol that suffered the casualties was ambushed 90 minutes after the allied ceasefire began near an American installation on the central coastal plain 15 miles southeast of Bong Son and 275 miles northeast of Saigon. A mine set off by enemy troops hiding in the woods killed two Americans and wounded three. The U.S. troops returned the fire, but enemy losses were now known. About the same time, the second reconnaissance patrol came under small arms fire.

From the minute you heard the rytlim of "Moonlight Serenade," the sounds established by the late Glenn Miller were back again. You knew it was going to be a memorable night's stroll down memory lane and that it was. The Greenwood High School Auditorium was filled to capacity in a star-dressed audience ready to open the fourth annual Greenwood Arts Festival. The big band sound was back as Buddy DeFranco at the helm brought the music that is, and always will be recognized as the "Glenn Miller Band." Missing were the familiar faces that once played with the great Miller.

It is doubtful any of the present day musicians were old enough to have heard Miller play, except on record. But the 16 members which comprised the Glenn Miller Orchestra today have mastered the maestro's touch. There was no mistaking the sound that has made this band live long after the big bands" were forgotten. Such favorites as "In the Mood," Stairway to the Stars," "Skylark," "Tuxedo Junction," "Little Brown Jug," "Americn Patrol," were part of the visit to memory lane and it was obvious the audience, made up of mostly adult fans, who well remember Glenn Miller, loved it. Sieve Johnson, the pianist, was introduced as the new soloist and rendered four selections, including "At Last," "Chicago," and "Days of Wine and Roses." Steve is young and extremely talented, but he has not mastered the voice style that once was teamed with other vocal stars of the Miller era.

This is not to imply he was not a debut, he was, and in time he may well become the solo star, that is reminicent of the era we all have come to remember as "Glenn Miller's time." It was a festive night and for better than two hours you could hear the the applause as one old-time favorite after another came to the receptive audience's ears. The nostalgic trip would long be remembered. The '40's were back.

H. Lloyd DeLoach, DeLoach's, Mr. and Mrs. L. DeLoach, Delia Council, Setting It Straight A typographical error appeared in the re-election announcement of Sheriff John Arterbury Friday in the Commonwealth.

The paragraph should have read as follows: "Since the separation of the offices of Tax Collector and Sheriff, the Sheriff is premitted to succeed himself. Under the new law, the duties of tax collecting are being combined with those of tax assessing and the Sheriff and his staff will be salaried employes of the county. I am, therefore, becoming a candidate for the office of Sheriff in the election of this summer. The primary laws have yet to be settled, but I wanted to make my candidacy known and to solicit your support on the basis of my record as a peace officer for more than 30 years." The Commonwealth regrets the error, Pilot Program Set For Tornado Administration's JetPropulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Mariners 6 and 7 photographed about 10 per cent of Mar's surface from distances of 2,100 miles during brief passes.

The best resolution of the 198 pictures received was about 750 feet. If all goes well. Mariners 8 and 9 will transmit a total of 90 photos each day a grand total of about 8,100 for the expected three-month orbital lifetime. Detection of any life forms on Mars is beyond the resolution capabilities of the cameras. However, correlation of the photos with other data gathered by the sensors may yield information on whether conditions exist that could support some primitive life form.

homes ranging in cost from $15,000 to $50,000 and for all nonagricultural businesses. This streamlining of loan processing, according to Lincoln, is a result of a memorandum of understanding signed last week between FHA and SBA. He explained that the one-stop service will make it possible for rural disaster victims to receive help in the easily accessible agricultural offices. The location of the 22 Farmers Home Administration offices serving the 23 counties are known to rural residents. Each of the offices is staffed by loan officials qualified to receive and process applications and make rural housing loans.

Tornado disaster victims may be eligible for up to $2,500 in forgiveness for loss sustained. Under the new arrangement, Farmers Home Administration can combine a disaster housing loan with its regular housing loans. Low A pilot federal program to simplify and meet the housing and home furnishing needs of tornado disaster victims in the Mississippi Delta was announced today by President Nixon's disaster chief. George A. Lincoln, director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness and coordinator of federal recovery efforts after a major disaster, said that, effective immediately, the Farmers Home Administration will assist all families in the 23 Delta counties who lost dwellings and household furnishings in the Feb.

In major disaster areas, the Small Business Administration generally provides help to non-farmers while FHA help is limited to farmers, but the rules and regulations goveriins.
