<subsection class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">
<num value="c">“(c) </num>
<content>When any instrument of authorization is granted by the Commission without a hearing as provided in subsection (a) hereof, such grant shall remain subject to protest as hereinafter provided for a period of thirty days. During such thirty-day period any party in interest may file a protest under oath directed to such grant and request a hearing on said application so granted. Any protest so filed shall be served on the grantee, shall contain such allegations of fact as will show the protestant to be a party in interest, and shall specify with particularity the facts relied upon by the protestant as showing that the grant was improperly made or would otherwise not be in the public interest. The Commission shall, within thirty days of the filing of the protest, render a decision making findings as to the sufficiency of the protest in meeting the above requirements; and, where it so finds, shall designate the application for hearing upon issues relating to all matters specified in the protest as grounds for setting aside the grant, except with respect to such matters as to which the Commission, after affording protestant an opportunity for oral argument, finds, for reasons set forth in the decision, that, even if the facts alleged were to be proven, no grounds for setting aside the grant are presented. <page identifier="/us/stat/70/3" renderingPosition="bottom">3</page> <page identifier="/us/stat/70/4">70 <inline class="smallCaps">Stat</inline>. 4</page> The Commission may in such decision redraft the issues urged by the protestant in accordance with the facts or substantive matters alleged in the protest, and may also specify in such decision that the application be set for hearing upon such further issues as it may prescribe, as well as whether it is adopting as its own any of the issues resulting from the matters specified in the protest. In any hearing subsequently held upon such application issues specified by the Commission upon its own initiative or adopted by it shall be tried in the same manner provided in subsection (b) hereof, but with respect to issues resulting from facts set forth in the protest and not adopted or specified by the Commission, on its own motion, both the burden of proceeding with the introduction of evidence and the burden of proof shall be upon the protestant. The hearing and determination of cases arising under this subsection shall be expedited by the Commission and pending hearing and decision the effective date of the Commission’s action to which protest is made shall be postponed to the effective date of the Commission’s decision after hearing, unless the authorization involved is necessary to the maintenance or conduct of an existing service, or unless the Commission affirmatively finds for reasons set forth in the decision that the public interest requires that the grant remain in effect, in which event the Commission shall authorize the applicant to utilize the facilities or authorization in question pending the Commission’s decision after hearing.”</content>

The increase in the wheat acreage allotment for any farm shall be conditioned upon the production of durum wheat (class I) on such increased acreage. The increased allotment shall be determined by adding to the allotment established without regard to this subsection (hereinafter referred to as the ‘original allotment’) an acreage equal to two times the acreage by which the original allotment exceeds the 1956 acreage on the farm of classes of wheat other than durum wheat (class II) (hereinafter referred to as ‘other wheat’), but such increased allotment shall not exceed the smaller of the crop-land on the farm well suited to wheat or the wheat acreage on the farm: <proviso><i>Provided</i>, That for the purposes of this subsection (1) the original allotment for each farm shall be not less than fifteen acres, and (2) varieties of class II (durum wheat) known as ‘Golden Ball’ and ‘Peliss’ shall be regarded as ‘other wheat’. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, no acreage allotment shall be increased under this subsection for any farm on which the producer knowingly devotes to the production of other wheat an acreage in excess of the acreage allotment established without regard to this subsection (and particularly without regard to clause (1) of the foregoing proviso).</proviso></p>

Any lands eliminated from the park hereunder shall not subsequently be added to the park except by Act of Congress.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">In furtherance of these purposes, the Secretary is authorized on behalf of the United States to accept from grantors title to non-Federal land and interests in land, together with the improvements thereon, situated within the authorized park boundaries, and in exchange therefor, to convey by deed on behalf of the United States to the aforesaid grantors land or interests therein, together with the improvements thereon, situated within Colonial National Historical Park that may be used advantageously for exchange purposes. The aforesaid exchanges are authorized to be made without additional compensation by either party to the exchange when the properties to be exchanged are of approximately equal value. When, however, the properties are not of approximately equal value, as may be determined by the Secretary, an additional payment of funds shall be required by the Secretary or by the grantor of non-Federal properties, as the case <page identifier="/us/stat/70/62">70 <inline class="smallCaps">Stat</inline>. 62</page> may be, in order to make an equal exchange. The Secretary is authorized to use any land acquisition funds relating to the National Park System for such purposes. The Secretary may consummate land exchanges herein authorized upon such terms, conditions, and procedures as he may find to be necessary or desirable in carrying out the purposes of this Act; and in evaluating non-Federal properties to be acquired hereunder, he is authorized to make such allowance as he may find to be equitable for the value of any residential properties that may be situated upon land to be acquired pursuant to this Act. If expedient and in the public interest to do so, he may assist in the removal of structures from property to be acquired hereunder through the exchange procedure, and he may cooperate with public or private agencies and persons in the securing of housing for the aforesaid grantors who may require new housing accommodations or facilities as a result of the land exchanges herein authorized.</p>

<content>The Congress hereby finds that the production of excessive supplies of agricultural commodities depresses the prices and income of farm families; constitutes improper land use and brings about soil erosion, depletion of soil fertility, and too rapid release of water from lands where it falls, thereby adversely affecting the national welfare, impairing the productive facilities necessary for a continuous and stable supply of agricultural commodities, and endangering an adequate supply of water for agricultural and nonagricultural use; overtaxes the facilities of interstate and foreign transportation; congests terminal markets and handling and processing centers in the flow of commodities from producers to consumers; depresses prices in interstate and foreign commerce; disrupts the orderly marketing of commodities in such commerce; and otherwise affects, burdens, and obstructs interstate and foreign commerce. It is in the interest of the general welfare that the soil and water resources of the Nation be not wasted and depleted in the production of such burdensome surpluses and that interstate and foreign commerce in agricultural commodities be protected from excessive supplies. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress and the purposes of this title to protect and increase farm income, to protect the national soil, water, and forest and wildlife resources from waste and depletion, to protect interstate and foreign commerce from the burdens and obstructions which result from the utilization of farmland for the production of excessive supplies of agricultural commodities, and to provide for the conservation of such resources and an adequate, balanced, and orderly flow of such agricultural commodities in interstate and foreign commerce. To effectuate the policy of Congress and the purposes of this title programs are herein authorized to assist farmers to divert a portion of their cropland from the production of excessive supplies of agricultural commodities, and to carry out a program of soil, water, forest and wildlife conservation. The activities authorized under this title are supplementary to the acreage allotments and marketing <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8"><ref href="/us/stat/52/31">52 Stat. 31</ref>.</p> <p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8"><ref href="/us/usc/t7/s1281">7 USC 1281</ref>.</p></sidenote> quotas authorized under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, and together with such acreage allotments and marketing quotas, constitute an over-all program to prevent excessive supplies of agricultural commodities from burdening and obstructing interstate and foreign commerce.</content>

<p class="inline">Nothwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Agriculture (hereinafter referred to as the “Secretary”) is authorized and directed to formulate and carry out an acreage reserve program for the 1956, 1957, 1968, and 1959 crops of wheat, cotton, corn produced in the commercial corn-producing area, peanuts, rice, flue-cured tobacco, burley tobacco, Maryland tobacco, dark air-cured tobacco, fire-cured tobacco, Virginia sun-cured tobacco, cigar binder tobacco types 51, 52, 54, and 55, Ohio cigar filler tobacco types 42, 43, and 44, respectively (hereinafter referred to as “the commodity”), under which producers shall be compensated for reducing their acreages of the commodity below their farm acreage allotments or their farm base acreages, whichever may be applicable. To be eligible for such compensation the producer (1) shall reduce his acreage of the commodity below his farm acreage allotment or farm base acreage, whichever may be applicable, within such limits as the Secretary may prescribe, (2) shall specifically designate the acreage so withdrawn from the production of such commodity (hereinafter referred to as the “reserve acreage”), and (3) shall not harvest any crop from, or graze, the reserve acreage unless the Secretary, after certification b the Governor of the State in which such acreage is situated of the need for grazing on such acreage, determines that it is necessary to permit grazing thereon in order to alleviate damage, hardship, or suffering caused by severe drought, flood, or other natural disaster, and consents to such grazing. Reserve acreage of a commodity may include acreage whether or not planted to the production of the 1956 crop of the commodity prior to the announcement of the acreage reserve program for the 1956 crop if the crop thereon, if any, shall be plowed under or otherwise physically incorporated into the soil, or clipped, mowed, or cut to prevent maturing so that the reduction in acreage of the commodity below the acreage allotment occurs not later than 21 days after the enactment of this title, or by such later date as may be fixed by the Secretary. The reserve acreage shall be in addition to any acreage devoted to the conservation reserve program authorized under subtitle B of this title. The acreage reserve program may include such terms and conditions, in addition to those specifically provided for herein, including provisions relating to control of noxious weeds on the reserve acreage, as the Secretary determines are desirable to effectuate the purposes of this title and to facilitate the practical administration of the acreage reserve program.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Before any producer is entitled to receive any compensation for participating <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8">Contract.</p></sidenote> in the acreage reserve program, he must first enter into a contract with the Secretary, which contract, in addition to such other terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the Secretary, shall contain provisions’ by which such producer shall agree:</p>

Whenever on or after August 15, 1957, the Corporation files with the Commission a new schedule of rates, such new schedule shall become effective on the tenth day after the date of such filing, unless the Commission prescribes a lesser time within which such new schedule shall go into effect, or unless prior to such tenth day the Commission suspends the operation of such new schedule. Such suspension shall be for a period of not to exceed one hundred twenty days from the date such new schedule is filed. If the Commission suspends such new schedule it shall immediately give notice of a hearing upon the matter and, after such hearing and within such suspension period, shall determine and by order fix the schedule of rates to be charged by the Corporation. If the Commission does not enter an order, to take effect at or prior to the end of the period of suspension, fixing the schedule of rates to be charged by the Corporation, the suspended schedule filed by the Corporation may be put into effect by the end of such period, and shall remain in effect until the Commission has issued an appropriate order based on such proceeding.</content>

<content>It is declared to be the policy of the Congress to continue to provide agriculture with a sound, dependable, and effective source of credit; to promote the efficiency of the farm credit system by merging production credit corporations in Federal intermediate credit banks and to facilitate increased farmer participation in the management, control, and ownership of the merged banks and retirement of Government capital therein; to encourage and promote the continued growth and development of the production credit associations as self-supporting cooperative lending institutions operating on a sound credit basis with maximum local authority to determine credit needs and loan policies consistent with the maintenance of a national production credit system; and to continue to provide other financing institutions making loans to farmers and ranchers with the right to borrow from and rediscount with such merged banks on a basis comparable with the production credit associations regardless of the ownership of such banks. The provisions of this Act shall be construed in keeping with this declaration of policy.</content>

<num value="1">“(1) </num>
<content>Class A stock shall have a par value of $100 per share and shall be issued to and held by the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration on behalf of the United States. Stock of each Federal intermediate credit bank held by the Secretary of the Treasury shall be transferred to the Governor who shall exchange such stock for an equal amount of class A stock of such bank. The Governor is authorized thereupon to reallocate the investment of the United States in such banks in such manner as he determines necessary to meet the needs of the respective banks. Any transfers of capital funds required as a result of such reallocation shall be made in four equal installments, the first of which shall be made on January 1, 1957, and one of which shall be made on the first day of each of the next succeeding three calendar years. Upon each such transfer of capital funds the Governor shall require an appropriate adjustment in the class A stock of each such bank. Stock of each production credit corporation held by the Governor (less the amount canceled pursuant to section 101 of the Farm Credit Act of 1956) shall be exchanged for an equal par amount of class A stock of the Federal intermediate credit bank in which such corporation is merged pursuant to section 101 of such Act. No dividends snail be paid on class A stock. Annually at the end of its fiscal year each such bank shall determine the amount of its class A stock which shall be retired. Whenever the total of the capital stock, participation certificates, surplus, and reserves of the bank is more than one-sixth of the highest month-end balance of debentures and other obligations issued by or for the bank, outstanding during the immediately preceding five years, the minimum amount of class A stock to be retired shall be the total amount of class B stock and participation certificates issued for that year. All class A stock shall be retired at par. The proceeds of such class A stock retirements of each bank shall be paid into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts until there is so paid a sum equal to $30,000,000 plus the amount of class A stock of the bank issued in exchange for stock of the production credit corporation.

The Governor of the Farm Credit Administration is authorized to purchase from time to time class A stock in any bank in such amount as he determines is needed to meet the credit needs of the bank and such revolving fund shall continue to be available for such purchases as provided in said section 5 (e). The Governor may at any time require the bank to retire such <page identifier="/us/stat/70/661">70 <inline class="smallCaps">Stat</inline>. 661</page>class A stock if, in his judgment, the bank has resources available therefor, and the proceeds of such retirements shall be returned to such revolving fund.</content>

Such stock shall be issued only at par and may be transferred to another production credit association with the approval of the issuing bank. Whenever a bank has no class A stock outstanding it may pay like dividends on class B stock and participation certificates in an amount not to exceed 5 per centum in any year if declared by the board of directors. Dividends on class B stock and participation certificates shall not be cumulative. Within sixty days after the effective date of the Farm Credit Act of 1956, the production credit associations shall subscribe to class B stock in the banks in an aggregate amount equal to 15 per centum of the total amount of class A stock in all banks. Such required amount of subscriptions shall be allotted among the several districts in the proportion that the average amount of the bank’s loans to and discounts for the production credit associations of the district, outstanding during the immediately preceding five fiscal years, is of the average of such loans and discounts of all banks outstanding during such five-year period. The amount so allotted to each district shall be further allotted to each production credit association on the basis of the proportion that its average indebtedness (loans and discounts) to the hank during the immediately preceding five fiscal years is of the average of such indebtedness of ail production credit associations to the bank during such five-year period. Each production credit association shall subscribe to class B stock in the bank of the district in the amount so allotted to it. One-third of the purchase price of such stock subscription shall be paid at the time of such subscription, one-third shall be paid within one year after the effective date of said each and the balance shall be paid within two years after such effective date. Such class B stock shall be issued as payments therefor are made. Any production credit association chartered after the effective date of the Farm Credit Act of 1956 shall thereupon purchase class B stock in the bank in the amount of $5,000, and such amount shall be adjusted at the end of five years thereafter to an amount determined by applying to its average indebtedness to the bank during such five-year period the same percentage as the percentage which the initial subscriptions of other production credit associations was of their indebtedness, as provided in this subsection: <proviso>
<i>Provided</i>, That this provision shall not apply to any association owning stock in the bank in such required amount as a result of merger, consolidation, or reorganization of one or more associations. After all class A stock has been retired, the bank may retire class B stock at par and participation certificates at a face amount under policies established by the Farm Credit Administration. Class B stock and participation certificates shall be retired without preference and in such manner that the oldest outstanding stock or certificates at any given time will be retired first. In case of liquidation or dissolution of any production credit association or other financing institution, the stock or participation certificates of the bank owned by such association or institution may be retired by the bank at the fair book value thereof, not exceeding par or face amount, as the case may be.</proviso>

Notwithstanding the provisions of item (3) of this subsection, if at the end of any fiscal year the sum of the surplus and the reserve account of any bank is less than its outstanding capital stock and participation certificates, the bank shall continue to apply such 25 per centum of its net earnings to the reserve account until the sum of the surplus and the reserve account is equal to its outstanding capital stock and participation certificates. Each bank shall, on the effective date of the Farm Credit Act of 1956, establish a surplus account consisting of its earned surplus account, its reserve for contingencies, and the surplus of the production credit corporation transferred to the bank. No part of such surplus of any bank shall be distributed as patronage refunds or as dividends. In the event of a net loss in any fiscal year after providing for all operating expenses (including reasonable valuation reserves and losses in excess of any such applicable reserves), such loss shall be absorbed by: first, charges to the reserve account; second, charges to surplus other than that transferred from the production credit corporation of the district; third, charges to surplus transferred from the production credit corporation of the district; fourth, the impairment of class B stock and participation certificates; and fifth, the impairment of class A stock.</content>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent0">“First. Such appropriation shall be expended by the trustees of the American Printing House for the Blind each year in manufacturing and furnishing books and other materials specially adapted for instruction of the blind; and the total amount of such books and other materials so manufactured and furnished by such appropriation shall each year be distributed among all the public institutions, in the States, Territories, and possessions of the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, in which blind pupils are educated. Each public institution for the education of the blind shall receive, in books and other materials, upon requisition of its superintendent, that portion of the appropriation as is shown by the ratio between the number of blind pupils in that institution and the total number of blind pupils in all of the public institutions in which blind pupils are educated. Each chief State school officer <page identifier="/us/stat/70/939">70 <inline class="smallCaps">Stat</inline>. 939</page> shall receive, in books and other materials, upon requisition, that portion of the appropriation as is shown by the ratio between the number of blind pupils in public institutions (in the State) in which blind pupils are educated, other than institutions to which the preceding sentence is applicable, and the total number of blind pupils in the public institutions in which blind pupils are educated, in all of the States, Territories, and possessions of the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. The ratio referred to in each of the two immediately preceding sentences shall be computed upon the first Monday in January of each year; and for purposes of such sentences the number of blind pupils in public institutions in which blind pupils are educated shall be authenticated in such manner and as often as the trustees of the American Printing House for the Blind shall require. For purposes of this Act, an institution for the education of the blind is any institution which provides education exclusively for the blind, or exclusively for the blind and other handicapped children (in which case special classes are provided for the blind); the chief State school officer of a State is the superintendent of public elementary and secondary schools in such State or, if there is none, such other official as the Governor certifies to have comparable responsibility in the State; and a blind pupil is a blind individual pursuing a course of study in an institution of less than college grade.”</p>

<content>The Commissioners shall investigate from time to time the economic conditions and other factors relating to and affecting the business of making pawnbroker loans under this Act, and shall ascertain all pertinent facts necessary to determine what maximum rate of interest should be permitted. Upon the basis of such ascertained facts, the Commissioners shall determine and fix by regulation or order a maximum rate of interest in connection with such loans which will induce efficiently managed commercial capital to be invested in such business in sufficient amounts to make available adequate credit facilities to individuals seeking such loans at reasonable rates of interest, and which will afford those engaged in such business a fair and reasonable return upon the assets. The Commissioners may from time to time, upon the basis of changed conditions or facts, redetermine and refix any such maximum rate of interest, but, before determining or redetermining any such maximum rate, the Commissioners shall give reasonable notice of their intention to consider doing so to all licensees and a reasonable opportunity to be heard and introduce evidence with respect thereto and such notice shall also be published once each week for two consecutive weeks in one or more of the daily newspapers published in the District. Any such changed maximum rate of interest shall not affect preexisting loan <sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Interest rates.</p></sidenote> contracts lawfully entered into between any licensee and any borrower. Until such time as a different rate is fixed by the Commissioners in accordance with the authorization contained in this section, every licensed pawnbroker may contract for and receive on any loan of money, not exceeding 2 per centum per month, or fraction thereof, upon any loan not exceeding the sum of $200, or more than 1 per centum per month or fraction thereof, upon any loan exceeding $200 and not exceeding $1,000, and 8 per centum per annum on any loan <page identifier="/us/stat/70/1041">70 <inline class="smallCaps">Stat</inline>. 1041</page> in excess of $1,000, under a penalty of $100 for each such offense: <i>Provided</i>, That pawnbrokers may ask, demand, and receive a minimum charge in lieu of interest of 50 cents.</content>

<content>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0">The Congress finds that in the case of recurring natural disasters, including recurring floods, insurance protection against individual and public loss is not always practically available through private or public sources. With specific reference to insurance against flood loss, the Congress finds that insurance against certain losses resulting from this peril is not so available. Since preventive and protective means and structures against the effects of these disasters can never wholly anticipate the geographic incidence and infinite variety of the destructive aspects of these forces, the Congress finds that the safeguards of insurance are a necessary adjunct of preventive and protective means and structures.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0">Inasmuch as these disasters impede interstate and foreign commerce, hamper national defense, and cause widespread distress and hardship adversely affecting the general welfare, without regard to State boundary lines, and in the absence of insurance protection from private or public sources, the Congress ought to provide for such protection in the case of flood, and study the feasibility and need for similar programs in the case of other forms of natural disaster against which insurance protection is not generally and practically available in all geographical areas.</p>

<content class="inline">That the interest which accrued on a promissory note for $11,400 executed June 2, 1952, by Giles P. Fredell, of Cottonwood, Tehama County, California, and his wife, in favor of the United States of America, up to and including September 28, 1953, in the amount of $458.17 is hereby waived for the reason that the funds advanced for repairing and rehabilitating an existing irrigation facility could not be used by the borrower without the approval of the representatives of the Secretary of Agriculture, and that approval was withheld because it was subsequently demonstrated that the well would not produce a supply of water sufficient for the borrowers’ needs, and the cost of any other satisfactory facility was economically unfeasible. The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized and directed to cause the proper entries to be made in the accounting records in the Department of Agriculture to effect such waiver.</content>

The United States was precluded from making administrative settlement of such claim in the manner provided by section 401 (b) of the Act of July 14, 1952 (Public Law 534, Eighty-second Congress), by reason of the provision contained therein prohibiting payment of any such claim unless application for reimbursement is submitted within one year after the date of acquisition of title by the United States. Because of his lack of knowledge of such provision but without fault on his part, the said John L. Hughes failed to submit his application within the prescribed period: <proviso><i>Provided</i>, That no part of the amount appropriated in this Act in excess of 10 per centum thereof shall be paid or delivered to or received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with this claim, and the same shall be unlawful, any contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person violating the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000.</proviso></content>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">“WE the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this CONSTITUTION for the United States of America.”</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">On September 17, 1787, the delegates to the Federal Convention in Philadelphia met for the last time and approved these familiar words now enshrined not only in our Nation’s basic Instrument of Government but also in the hearts of our citizenry. Led by the President of the Convention, George Washington, the great majority of the delegates signed the newly drafted Constitution, and on the following day their Secretary set off for New York by stage coach to deliver the engrossed document to the United States in Congress there assembled. Within a week the proposed Constitution had been printed and circulated in both Pennsylvania and New York, and the great principles by which our country still is governed had been dispatched or carried home by delegates from other States as well. On September 28, 1787, the Congress resolved to transmit the draft text officially to the States of the Confederation for action.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">It is fitting that we, whose entire lives have been protected by the fruits of the Convention’s deliberations, should pause in our several occupations to study the course of events by which our Constitution came into being, the great debate which ensued before our Federal Government became established, and the internal stresses and the assaults from without which we as a Nation have met successfully, with God’s help, within the framework established by our forbears one hundred and sixty-eight years ago.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10"><sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8">Constitution Week, 1955.</p></sidenote> NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, acting in accord with Senate <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize8"><ref href="/us/stat/69/B24">69 Stat. <inline class="smallCaps">b</inline>24</ref>.</p></sidenote> Concurrent Resolution 40, agreed to on July 26, 1955, do hereby designate as Constitution Week the period beginning September 17, 1955, and ending September 23, 1955; and I invite the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies in their schools and churches, and in other suitable places. Let us give thanks for the wisdom of those statesmen of 1787 who labored “to decide the fate of republican government” and of their successors throughout our country’s history who contributed to making our Constitution a living thing, a great taproot to feed and support the growth of our republic.</p>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The custom of devoting one day each year to national thanksgiving is a wise and an ancient one, hallowed by observance in the days before we became a Nation, and sanctioned throughout the succeeding generations. It is therefore in keeping with our oldest traditions that at the fruitful season of the waning year we turn again to Almighty God in grateful acknowledgement of His manifold blessings.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">At this time of thanksgiving, may we express our deep appreciation of those forebears who, more than three centuries ago, celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day. Through their industry and courage, our Nation was hewn from the virgin forest, and through their steadfastness and faith, the ideals of liberty and justice have become our cherished inheritance.</p>
<page identifier="/us/stat/70/c12">70 <inline class="smallCaps">Stat. c</inline>12</page>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">May we lift up our hearts in special prayers of gratitude for the abundance of our endowments, both material and spiritual, for the preservation of our way of life, in its richness and fullness, and for the religious faith which has wielded such a beneficent influence upon our destiny. May we show our thanks for our own bounty by remembrance of those less fortunate, and may the spirit of this Thanksgiving season move us to share with them to alleviate their need.</p>

Let us, on the appointed day, in our homes and our accustomed places of worship, each according to his own faith, bow before God and give Him humble thanks.</p>

<heading>Computation of retired pay</heading>
<content>The monthly retired pay of a person entitled thereto under this subtitle is computed according to the following table. For each case covered by a section of this title named in the column headed “For sections”, retired pay is computed by taking, in order, the steps prescribed opposite it in columns 1, 2, 3, and 4, as modified by the applicable footnotes. However, if a person would otherwise be entitled to retired pay computed under more than one pay formula of this table or of any other provision of law, he is entitled to be paid under the applicable formula that is most favorable to him. Section references below are to sections of this title.

<num value="b">(b) </num>
<content>An invitation for the submission of a design shall be made by advertisement in not less than three leading aeronautical journals for a period of 30 days, and in such other manner as the Secretary of the military department concerned considers advisable. Such an advertisement shall specify a time within which designs and prices may be submitted. This time may not be less than 60 days after the expiration of the 30-day advertising period. Each submission shall be sealed and shall contain the design submitted, a statement of the price for which the design or any part of it would be sold to the United States, and a graduated scale of prices for which the designer is willing to construct all or any part of a designed item.

The department concerned shall furnish to each applicant identical detailed information as to the conditions of the competition and the features and characteristics to be developed in the design, listing specifically the measures of merit, expressed in percentages, that are to be applied in determining the merits of the design. These measures of merit apply throughout the competition.</content>

The board shall appraise each design as soon as practicable and report the winners to the Secretary. If the Secretary approves the boards report, he shall fix the time and place of a public announcement of the results and notify each competitor. If the Secretary does not approve it, the papers may be returned to the board for revision, or he may choose the winners, as he elects. The decision of the Secretary is final and conclusive. The announcement of the results of the competition shall state the percentages awarded to each feature or characteristic of each of the designs submitted and the price named for each design and each feature thereof, if separable.</content>

The board of arbitration shall be composed of three skilled aeronautical engineers, one of whom shall be selected by the Secretary, one by the claimant, and the third by the other members. No person may be a member of a board of arbitration if he served on the board of appraisal that judged the competition out of which the arbitration arose. The findings of the board are conclusive if approved by the Secretary. In a competition, three competitors, or less, who have the highest figures of merit may be selected as winners.</content>
