REA Seeks Additional Funds for Rural Electrification
The Rural Electrification Administration plans to request about 700 million dollars in new postwar aid to extend electric service to more American farm homes. J Becker, chair of the planning committee, says the grant would create about 380 000 man years of work and build on Congress approved allocations totaling roughly 525 million to 501 million for specific projects. The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association includes dual REA cooperatives.
