Sen. Johnson would
speed vets housing
loans some per cent
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson has
Introduced in the Senate a bill
designed to speed up housing
loans to veterans without any in-
crease in the present interest rate
of four and one-half per cent.
The Johnson bill has three
principal provisions:
(1) It would make available
25 per cent of the National Ser-
vice Life Insurance Fund for dir-
ect veterans’ loans at four and
one-half per cent interest.
(2) It would increase the auth-
orized amount of the mortgage
limit from $10,000 to $14,000.
(3) It would eliminate some of
the delays in processing applica-
tions, which in many cases have
actually prevented loans from be-
ing made.
“This measure would make
available to veterans money out
of Their own fund,” Johnson said.
"It also would eliminate the damp-
ening effect of the present $10,-
000 mortgage limit, which has
caused many applications to the
Veterans Administration simply
not to be processed.
In order to speed up action on
applications, Johnson's bill would
require action, either affirmative-
ly or negatively, by the VA on
each application for direct loan
at the same time that efforts to
obtain private financing are being
made. If private financing should
be available within a 20-day per-
iod, it would be preferred and
used. If not, the VA would be in
a position to make qualified loans
much faster than at present.
A number of other Senators
have joined Senator Johnson in
sponsorship of his bill.

February is the month of hearts
ami flowers for it brings forth
the Valentine season and provides
just the occasion for a party to
give a lift from winter and" an
advance touch of spring. It also
is a perfect excuse for a frilly
feminine luncheon, but equally
perfect for a sentimental touch to
a party for a mixed crowd. Men,
too, like the feminine touch and
the bit of sentiment, so long as
the food is as good as it looks and
is filling.
For a Valentine theme giant
hearts cut from shiny red paper
make festive place mats for a
seated meal or for a buffet sup-
per. If time permits, edge the
hearts with lace paper doilies cut
in half and glued to the under-
side. White or red flowers may
center the table, or vary from the
conventional and use a pale pink.
A delicate pinl^does wonders with
red. Slip the stem of a flower
through the center of a paper
doilie, tie the stem with a fluff of
ribbon and guests have individual
nosegay corsages.
Clustered together, the nose-
gays first make a centerpiece. If
there are men present, keep some
of the flowers plain to be worn
as boutonnieres. ■ Use individual
Valentines for place cards — the
more sentimental the better. If it’s
a dessert-only affair, nosegays
and Valentines make plate favors.
This suggested Valentine menu
will serve a mixed dinner crowd,
or omit the potatoes and it serves
a ladies luncheon as well. Here’s
the menu: salmon Mousse, spiced
erabapples, new potatoes, green
asparagus, hot biscuits, pink angel
hearts.
The menu fits nicely into a
“hearts and flowers” theme, with
the foods satisfying. Garnish the
mousse with chilled canned spiced
crabapple. Those with stems on
look prettiest. Dress tiny new
potatoes with melted butter or
margarine and minced parsley.
Add lemon juice and grated lem-
on peel to melted butter or mar-
garine and whip to a froth to
make a delicious sauce for the
asparagus. One-fourth cup melted
| butter or margarine with two
tablespoons lemon juice and one
teaspoon grated peel makes
enough sauce for four servings
of asparagus.
Whether the biscuits are of
your own making from start to
finish, are made from a packaged
mix or are of the canned variety,
serve them piping hot with plenty
of butter or margarine.
A pink dessert seems a “must”
for a Valentine party, whether
it’s a dessert to complete the meal
or one to serve as a refreshment
course, For Pink Angel Hearts,
make your favorite angel food
cake mix into cake layers about
1 Is inches thick. With a heart-
shaped cookie cutter, or by cut-
ting around a cardboard pattern
with a sharp knife, cut the cake
into individual servings. (Use the
scraps in other desserts.) Split
each heart horizontally into lay-
ers. Whip heavy cream until
stiff. Sweeten it to taste, tint it
a very light pink and fold into it
slivered toasted almonds. Put the
heartlayers together with the pink
cream, then cover top and sides
with the cream. Chill several
hours. Garnish each heart with a
pink rosebud, fresh or artificial.
Serve on heart-shaped paper doil-
ies.

Land commissioner
gives papers praise
AUSTIN — Texas newspapers
and radio and television stations
drew praise Wednesday from
State Land Commissioner Earl
Rudder.
Commissioner Rudder said that
interest in the Feb. 5th Veterans'
Land Board land sale ha- been
at an all-time high, and he at-
tributed this to stories about the
sale published and broadcast
throughout the state.
“In the San Antonio area, for
example,” Commissioner Rudder
said, “a third more veterans than
ever before are looking at VLB
property. And one piece of land
near Dallas had been .shown to
142 veterans up to a few days
ago.”
Commissioner Rudder noted
that his office has been swamped
with requests for information
about property to be sold on Feb.
5th.
"1 think the press and radio
and television are performing an
invaluable service to the people
of our state in this respect,"
Commissioner Rudder added.
"Through them, eligible Texans
arc learning about the possibility
of obtaining these lands.”
Bioperty offerer! in this sale
has been forfeited by original
owners, who purchased the land
through the Veterans’ Land Pro-
gram.
Railroads continue
good turn for areas
in Texas drought-hit
AUSTIN — Drought - ridden
Texas farmers, dairymen and
ranchers wiil reap additional
large benefits as a result of the
railroads’ extending their 50 per
cent freight reduction on ship-
ments of hay.
Sine* Oct. 13, when the rate
slash went into effect through
mid-January, Texas agriculturists
were aided by the railroads to the
extent of $1,669,389. During that
time the railroads shipped 134,-
993 tons of hay into Texas as the
50 per cent rate.
The rate cut tendered by the
railroads covered eight itates.
The total saving to agriculturists
in the 8 states has been $2,371,
882, of which $1,669,388 has
benefitted Texans.
Action of the railroads, the
only carriers which have come to
the aid of farmers, ranchers and
dairymen, has been hailed by
Texas agriculture leaders as the
biggest contribution to the
drought-stricken area. The move
was also commended by President
Eisenhower.
The rate reduction, originally
scheduled to expire Jan. 15, has
been extended through March 31,
the Texas Railroad Association
announced.
KATY CARLOADINGS
Revenue freight cars loaded on
the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Lines
