Broken Bottle Slayer
Of Littlefield Man
Given 15-20 Years
The broken bottle slayer of
Felix Bass, 34, of Littlefield,
Thursday admitted guilt in Clo-
vis and was sentenced to fifteen
to twenty years in state prison.
Sadoth Chavez, 21, Fort Sum-
ner, N. M., a broom corn puller,
made a statement to officers,
which they said admitted that he
beat Bass into unconsciousness.
Chavez said that later he re-
turned to the spot where Bass
lay, dragged him from the high-
way, and slit his throat with a
broken whiskey bottle.

Fats And Oils
Shortage Serious
Shortages of fats and oils are
now more serious than during
the war years and little improve-
ment can be expected, according
to B. F. Vance, state director of
the Production and Marketing
Administration.
Per capita consumption of fats
and oils in 1942, for both food
■nrf non food uses, was about 71
pounds That figure has been
dropping gradually since then,
with preliminary estimates, for
1946 placed at 62 pounds, the
lowest since the depression year
of 1933.
Loss of imports and low out-
put of domestic oils have caused
a decline in food use of fats and
oils from 45 pounds in 1942 to
only 11 pounds for 1946, Vance
explains. This figure would be
even less, he adds, if Texas
housewives had not done such
an excellent job of saving used

The act expires on December
31, 1946, and affects all aliens
who enlisted or were inducted
into the service before December
28, 1945.
Recent reports indicate that
approximately 100,000 service-
ar'”t veterans h’ve failed to
take advantage of the right to
obtain American citizenship as
provided under the Act.
Those affected are not requir-
ed to file the customary declar-
ation of intention, need not have
lived in the United States for
any specified time, are not re-
quired to speak the English
language or meet educational
tests.

The FHA was established by
an order of the secretary Aug.
14 and Dilliard B. Lasseter, who
has headed FSA since last Janu-
ary, was appointed FHA admin-
istrator by the president on Aug.

The White House also an-
nounced that Mr. Lasseter would
have associated with him, S
Paul Lindsey, Jr., director of the
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
division and Robert W. Hudgens,
associate FSA administrator.
The new legislation, passed by
congress after extensive hear-
ings, provides for credit services
for farmers who can not get the
loans they need at prevailing
rates (but not more than 5 per
cent) and terms in their own
communities from banks, co-op-
erative leading agencies, or oth-
r responsible sources. Three
inds of credit are authorized.
1.. Production and subsis-
mce loans up to S3,500, for buy-
ig livestock, seed, feed, fertili-
pr, farm equipment, supplies,
nd other farm needs, for refi-
ancing indebtedness and for
amily subsistence. This oper-
ting credit will be for periods
p to five years at five per cent
iterest.
2. Loans to buy, repair, im-
irove, or enlarge farms. Th"
mount of a loan will be limited
o the average value of efficient
amily-type farms in the county
or locality. The farmers will
have 40 years to pay, at 314 pei;
cent interest.
3. Insured mortgages. The
government will insure 40-year
loans by private lenders for the
same purposes as the long-term
direct loans. The amount bor-
rowed under this plan can be up
to 90 per cent of the reasonable
value of the farm and necessary
improvements. The lender will
receive 214 per cent.
Veterans of ajl foreign wars
will have preference for the long
term leans and insured mortgag-
es. Disabled veterans will be
eligible, provided their farm in-
come plus pension will be
enough toJ pay expenses and re-
tire the debt.
