The question first arose when the Army Engineers started plans for moving or replacing buildings which would be rimwnpri out by the bacKwaier of the John Day dam. At that time It was found that the scnooi district had no title to the build ing, because the papers had hn kpnt in a safe in the school and several years ago the school was burglarized ana me saie stolen.

Interest to Stay At 3.5 For Most 1960 Crop Loans The interest rate charged pro ducer on I960 crop price support at 3' per cent iwr vear on all loan re payments received by the reg ular nonrecourse loan maturity dates, the Department of Agri culture has announced. Paul W Jones, chairman. Mor row Agricultural Maouizauon and Conservation Committee, points out that this rate applies to nonrecourse loans and to that part of a recourse loan which Is paid by the regular maturity date. Application of the 3 per cent rate to recourse loans If repaid during the regular loan period is designed primarily to encourage early repayment of these loans. On recourse loans, which were authorized by recent legislation limiting nonrecourse price sup port to $50,000, the rate will be 6 Dercent oer year on the portion of these loans not repaid by the regular maturity date. Recourse loans must be repaid with interest, but they do not hav to be repaid until a full year after the last date for ob taining loans for each of the commodities. The regular non recourse loans can be satisfied by forf eture of the collateral securing the loan, and interest is charged only on the principal repaid. Under the law, nonrecourse price support Is limited to $50, nnn on thoso commodities de termined to be in surplus sup- nlv. However, any person may obtain unlimited nonrecourse support if he reduces his I960 production oi me idiuuiuu..; j 20 percent below his law pro Huotlon. and any person may obtain recourse loans for any excess over $50,000 without re- - ducing his production but the excess amount advanced must be repaid in iun wun imc,ia.. frnns determined to be in iurplus under this provision of i " - . inplude wheat, barley, grain . . nn,.knmc nnlatiH :i n f1 pxtra o long staple cotton, oats, cotton v-i peanuts, tobacco, corn, and rye.
