...neither the agency nor its chair man to which he objected, Senator Byrd explained. For them he had nothing but praise. But the Brookings Institution had calculated that the Government could save $30,000,000 per year by consolidating its credit agencies.

S. as the four-volume mono graph on Pheasants, Their Lives and Homes-by William Beebe, published in 1918-22 at $250 per set and now a collec tor's item at $750.
