Misunderstanding cited in Mabel Bassett hotel claims
Oklahoma City reports Mrs. Mabel Bassett commissioner of charities and corrections says a misunderstanding about her hotel expenses may have prompted Budget Officer R. R. Owens to question some accounts. She notes she often uses hotels without revealing her name to avoid tipping off institutions and says she sometimes drives home to save hotel costs for stamps for her department. Owens has affidavits on some accounts and the legislature cut her appropriation to 1700 plus a salary of 2500 and travel to 62.50 per month, with Owens deducting 12.50 from that amount.

Credit To Finland Extends U S Aid To Finnish Needs
Washington reports a ten million dollar U S government credit will enable Finland to purchase agricultural surpluses and civilian supplies from the United States. The RFC and the Export-Import Bank will manage the program with the Finnish trading corporation handling purchases in New York. The move follows Finland’s regular loan payments on its war debt and may lead to similar credits to Norway. Separately, Oklahoma seeks a Supreme Court injunction to halt the Red River dam project, arguing property and tax impacts. The court may decide next week on jurisdiction and potential injunction while considering arguments from both sides.
