Washington the Capital City A Tangle of Growth and Privilege
Washington has surged from a 350000 population fifteen years ago to over a million, with a metropolitan area near 1300000. The boom packs streets, housing costs rise, and government growth outpaces utilities and transit while residents lack representation in city government and plan to gain voting rights.

Loans to veterans hit high peak for farm purchases
The Farm Security Administration financed 5 400 ex servicemen in March and April for farm equipment or family farms, nearly a third of all veteran loans in two years. Over 20 000 applications are being processed, with 16 000 already assisted including 1 000 farm purchase loans under Bankhead Jones terms. Rising real estate prices and scarce farms challenge veterans, says administrator Lasseter.

Guidance Plan Aids Farmers Getting Loans
Individual guidance in good farm and home management is provided by the Farm Security Administration with all loans. The department emphasizes that each loan is based on a sound plan for farm and home management worked out by the borrower and his family. A FSA supervisor helps the family make and carry out the plan and may supply livestock, crop rotation, and other good methods. A home supervisor assists the family in most rural counties. The main objects are to help the farmer get the most income from his work, obtain a good living for his family, and repay his loan.
