Wet strength that surprised even the organizations sponsoring repeal Action It Expected To Solve the Department's Problems For Two Years PIERRE, April 4. (JP) Director C.

L. Chase announces that the South Dakota rural credits department has completed negotiations for a loan from the Reconstruction Finance corporation. The loan, which will bear five per cent Interest and mature February 11, 1935, is expected to solve financial problems of the rural credit department for the next two years. The entire amount is available im mediately. Mr.

Chase annouced completion of arrangements for the loan upon his return from a conference with Reconstruction Finance corporation officials at Minneapolis. Governor Tom Berry, State Treasurer Frank Slewert and Banking Superintendent D. A. McCullough also attended the conference. The rural credit director said the full amount of the loan will be drawn at once.

The department will use $1,750,000 to reimburse state sinking funds from which money waa borrowea to meet maturing debts. and will retire the $750,000 hi emergency warrants issued in January. These warrants, although not maturing until June, have already been called. Remainder of the F. C.

loan will be used to meet maturing bond and Interest payments. To obtain the federal loan, the state department which was given corporate existence by the 1933 legislature, gave promissory notes and deposited $5,600,000 worth of new rural credit bonds as security. These bonds will not draw interest and will be returned when the loan is paid. Mr. Chase said the loan eliminates financial worries of rural credit officials for the next two years.

He explained that the new gasoline tax. rural credit sinking fund and the property tax levy for rural credit purposes added to regular income from other sources, will give the de partment an annual income of about $5,000,000. This is in addition to possible additional revenue from land sales. The rural credit head quoted fed eral reserve officials in Minneapolis as saying South Dakota is in the best financial condition of any state in the northwest He said the new law creating a rural credit sinking fund is regarded by hanking authorities as constructive legislation. Granting of the loan completes negotiations started early this year.

After a trip to Washington, Mr. Chase was promised a loan of The difference between this sum and the amount finally granted is accounted for by a drop in the bond market since that time, depreciating value of the security, Mr. Chase said. FORMER LEAD WOMAN BUYS SPEARF1SH CAFE Mrs. Nels Brakke.

(JP) A liberal interpretation of South Dakota's new installment tax payment law by the attorney general's office permits owners of several tracts of real property to take advantage of the plan without listing all their holdings. In an opinion to State's Attorney L. A.

Bridgeman of Kennebec, Attorney General Walter Conway held that persons whose taxes are delinquent on a number of pieces of prop erty may enter into an Installment payment contract for one or more of them by paying tbe current taxes on the individual tracts. i This ruling permits delinquent tax payers to contract to pay back tax es on their most desirable holdings and delay payment on heavily encumbered or less valuable tracts. Under the law, taxes levied in 1932 and due May 1 must be paid before contract can be made. "Bearing in mind the purpose of this act as expressed in the emergency clause," the attorney general's pinion said, "I believe it should be liberally construed. Its object seems to be to induce struggling property owners to pay current taxes by holding out the hope of ultimate payment of the delinquent taxes by means of easy installments.

To construe this act so that a taxpayer who might own several pieces of real estate would result in the payment of no taxes on any of said land and thus defeat the purpose of the law."

April The naval dirigible Akron, queen of the world's airships, dropped into the sea off the Jersey coast shortly after 1 30 a. m. today as a violent thunder storm churned the uncharted skyways. Aboard her as she faltered and plummeted down into a storm-swept sea were 76 men, including Admiral William A.

Moffett, chief of the navy's bureau of aeronautics. Four men were reported res cued. Others may have been. Every available agency was being pushed to the side of the fallen queen. Sea planes, land planes and coast guard boats sped toward the scene of the crash, about 20 miles off Barne-gat lighthouse and approximately 45 miles from New York harbor.

The tanker Phoebus flying the flag of the Danzig Free State and bound from New York to Tampico was within a few miles of the Akron when her wireless sputtered an s. o. s. through the storm charged skies at 1:30 o'clock. There was no further word from the aircraft which apparently descended rapidly, either falling or being crippled to the point of a forced descent Captain Dalldorf of the Phoebus flashed word of the tragedy to shore as he turned his slow moving tanker from its course to the spot where the Akron had dropped as the thunder and lightning storm raged.

"I saw aircraft tights flash." the captain wirelessed the Associated Press shortly afterward. Then I saw lights flash on the water. I changed my course to approach the light and soon heard men hail me from the water." It was Captain Dalldorf and men of the Phoebus who rescued the four who were reported safe. One of those saved was Lieutenant Commander H. V.

Wiley, second in command of the Akron. The others were identified as enlisted men Moody E. Erwin, metalsmith, second dan; Richard E. Deal, boatswain's mate, second class, and Robert W. Copeland, chief radio man.

The condition of Copeland was given in wireleaa reports from the Phoebus aa "serious." Soon afterward be dVd.

A bolt of lightning was believed to have sundered the ship though de tails were lacking to confirm it. The Akron has ridden out many a worse storm and it was doubted that it would have bowed to the gale alone.

CONSIDER NEW WORK WEEK BILL WASHINGTON, April 4(JP) Legislation to establish a 30-hour work week was taken up by the sen ate for consideration yesterday at about the same time that it emerged from a house committee with unanimous approval The bill would compel private in dustry to adopt the 30-hour week and penalize interstate movement of products made by labor working longer hours. The bill, like the Black proposal recently approved by the senate labor committee, would make a special exception of the canning and packing industry of perishable articles where the seasonal character of the product and a lack of available labor would make it difficult to comply with the shorter work day.

1 Under such circumstances the secretary of labor would have authority to exempt those products from the general provisions of the bill.
