Farm Tenancy Will Be j Reduced By New Plans (Ov«r WGBR Teletype) Washington, Feb 14—(TP)—The Hcuse Agriculture Committee ap proved today an amended Senate bill to expand the Federal program to reduce farm tenancy throughout the nation. Aa approved by the committee to day, the measure calls upon the Federal government to Insure up to 380 million dollars worth of loans to tenant fanners. These loans would permit qualified tenants to purchase their own land at reason ably low interest rotes. The bill previously was passed by the Senate, but In today's action, the House Committee rewrote the entire measure. It was explained that this proposed farm legislation would meet a vital national need to check the Increase In frfrm ten ai*cy throughout several sections of the country. Under the existing farm tenant act, small loans are made to tenant farmers directly by the Federal Government for the purpose of purchasing farm homes. The new proposal would make un necessary any Federal appropria tion, but by Insuring mortgages would bring large amounts of pri vate capital Into the program.

He has probably the largest plunvbir.g and heating business east of Raleigh, and his business extends . over many sections of the eastern1 i pert of the state. 1 A fine mdicat.on of his business > methods is seen in the fact that he • bar never failed to discount a bill since he started in business for him self in IB2#—eleven years ago. “I • don't know how long we will be ; able to keep it up, but we have) ■ been fortunate so far," said Mr.| [ Blow.

I The 23rd Week Of War » A battle which has been raxing for the past two weeks on the Ba 1 relian front between the Russians and the Finns may shape the des I tiny of the world for the next gen eration. The Russians by their re peated efforts to crack the Man 1 nerheim line have used up nearly a quarter of a million men. Conflict ing versions from the Russian tod Finnish side make it extremely difficult to tell the epet statu* of the battle at present. The Russians I claim to have captured some 40 Finnish forces of concrete and steel, and also claim that Finnish counter attacks against these posi tions have been unsuccessful. The Finns on the other hand state that j they have repelled the Russian for ces from all but a few machine gun posts which are without import ] ance. Whatever the decision In this battle it would seem that the ; Northern neutrals and the British French allies have a lot at stake ; Ncrway and Sweden being the most directly threatened by a possible Russian break-through will certain-' ly have to go more and more to the aid of the Finns. However, if the | Firms throw back this attack It is I duubtful if Norway and Sweden will mnke up their minds as rapidly tc>( put themselves in the way of th«| Russian Bear. On the other hand a Russian break-through will force their hand and also the hand of England and France. Here is the distinct possibility of the beginning of another world wide war. According to Finnish reports Rus-( 5ian losses must be enormous and some estimates run as high as 50.000 dead and wounded and 200 tanks in three or four days fighting. The Russians have introduced also fur the first time their 70 ton tanks, all of which the Finn* report as de stroying The artillery duel con tinues 24 hours a day in prepara tion for new Russian attacks, and the Russians continue their bomb-; m* attacks on Finnish cities in rear areas. The big news of the week in the war between Germany and the i Frenco-British allies is the landing: in Palestine of 30,000 more Austral- j ians and New Zealanders, bringing ■ the allied force in the near East up to a strength of 375,000 men. This added to the Turkish army already under arms gives the allies a po tential force of almost 2,000.000 men which General Weygand, the al lied commander in the near east can direct, either against Germany in a possible break- through In the, Balkans or against Russia in thej Caucasus, one of har most vulner- j able points as the Russian oil fields | are very close to the Turkish bor der. Britain is building her fences: in this direction as she has Anthony Eden, her minister of colonies, on the ground in Egypt and Palestine This is potentially one of the great est battle fields which may develop with the beginning of spring. Meanwhile, the western war fol lows its usual course with the Ger mens bombing British trawlers, sub marines or mines destroying several more merchantmen. England has called this week for 10,000 more fishermen as volunteers in the anti- j submarine warfare. Tuesday the British aid force from tbeir basea tn Eastern France conducfited another wide-spread reconnaissance raid which covered most fof Western Germany. All plane* returned without casualty.
