The Farmers Home Ad-

funds scraped up within the
agency to replenish the
depleted farm-operating loan
program, according to an
Agriculture Department
spokesman
Dave Lane, an aide to
Agriculture Secretary John
R. Block. said Friday that
another option being con-
sidered is the transfer of
funds from states which have
not used all their allocations
for farm operating loans.
But Lane said he could not
confirm or deny reports that
the Office of Management
and Budget has quashed any
notion USDA has of seeking a
supplemental appropriation
from Congress to rebuild the
farm loan fund
Other sources, who describ-
ed the situation only on condi-
tion that they not be iden-
tified. said that Budget Direc-
tor David Stockman turned
down a proposal by FmHA to
ask Congress for more
money.
Undersecretary Frank W
Naylor Jr. and FmHA ad-
ministrator Charles W
Shuman disclosed the agen-
cy's loan problem Thursday
to a Senate Appropriations
subcommittee.
However, the two officials
indicated the matter still was
under review and that no
decisions had been made on
where the extra money would
come from
Naylor said that 17 states
have used all their loan funds

WASHINGTON lAP) -
Anne M. Burford, the En-
vironmental Protection
Agency chief who resigned
under fire last month, may
have deliberately slowed
EPA’s toxic waste cleanup
program to make the pro-
gram appear unnecessary,
two agency officials say.
The officials, testifying Fri-
day before the Senate En-
vironment Committee, said
Mrs. Burford imposed
policies which made it dif-
ficult to use money from the
$1.6 billion superfund"
cleanup program.
In response to questions,
they said the policies may
have been part of a strategy
to build a surplus in the fund
— a surplus that later would
be cited as evidence that the
program should not be ex-
tended beyond its scheduled
five-year life The 31.6 billion
program is scheduled to ex-
pire in 1985
The progress of the pro-
gram may have been im-
peded for that purpose.”
William G. Hedeman. head of
the EPA superfund" office,
said in response to questions
from Sen. George Mitchell.

A levee breach chased 400
Missouri residents from their
homes and rain kept falling
today across Dixie, where the
evacuee total rose past 27,000
and steadily rising water

day as the rain-swollen Leaf

Flooding extended from
Missouri to Alabama, with
tornadoes and heavy rain

more than 5 inches of rain
drenching western Florida on

there was an implicit policy
to at least curtail the pro-
gress of the program."
Lucero agreed, saying
policies were instituted
"which we found necessary to
try to work around" in im-
plementing the "superfund"
law.
Asked for examples of
policies impeding use of the
"superfund" money,
Hedeman said Mrs. Burford
discouraged him from help-
ing state governments get
their 10 percent matching
funds necessary to qualify for
a "superfiind" grant
"It was suggested that I
find something else to do."
Hedeman said. It was sug-
gested that we should not
take an aggressive role in
helping the states come up
with that 10 percent." Asked
who made the suggestion.
Hedeman replied The ad-
ministrator."
Lucero said that Rita M
Lavelle, who was fired in
February from her job as
former assistant ad-
ministrator in charge of the
superfund." was reluctant
to let agency cleanup efforts
be classified as a removal"
of toxic wastes. That legal
classification allows the
federal government to take
emergency action without
waiting for the states to come
up with their matching share
He said Ms Lavelle
