BONUS BONDS SOLD But Oregon's Prospects Differ, Support Lacking, State Treasurer Advises PORTLAND (AP) Oregon, unlike Went Virginia, probably could not sell iU veterans bonus bond issue at a public sale, Walter J. Pearson, Oregon state treasurer, said. That is because industrialists, banks and insurance companies wanted the bonds sold and the bonus paid in West Virginia, he said, Hut the veterans' bonus has gained little support in Oregon since the bond sale was stymied by the regional voluntary credit restraint committee, he added.

The remaining $6,878,000 worth was purchased by the state. The $37,500,000 will be used to start paying the veterans' bonus after Jan. 2. Identical amounts of bonds will be offered at a sec ond sale when the money i s needed. The bonds will pay an average annual interest rate of 2.225 percent. Two Chances In Oregon Pearson said such a financing program was hardly possible in Oregon. There are only two ways the bonds can be sold( (1) of fered at a public sale to the low est bidder or (2) sold to state agencies. The state can fix its own Interest rate if its agencies buy the bonds. The Oregon bonus program re ceived a setback earlier this year when the voluntary credit re straint committee ruled that pay ment of the bonus would be in flationary. After this report, bid ders made no offers when the bonds were put up for sale in October. Then it was suggested that the stale, buy the bonds with state employees' retirement commis sion and state industrial accident commission funds. This proposal, Pearson said, was coolly received by the two commissions. New Opportunity Seen Pearson, who with Governor McKay favors the bonus, said there was one bright spot in the picture. The bond issue will be re-submitted to the committee "iy next W"- lne. committee recently ap- proved a $56,000,000 bond issue for tne slate of Massachusetts. Pear son pointed out that of the total, crit-'only $20,000,000 was going for de - uu ma roiai, On the basis of the credit restraint committee's approval of Ihe Massachusetts bond . issue, I think Oregon's bonus bonds aland a pretty good chance," he said.

But a new atorm was develop ing just east of the Rockies. It was expected to bring new snow eastward and draw a new wave of intense cold southward from Canada. Fireman Face Heroic Tasks The bitter weather took a heavy toll of suffering, damage, and myriad minor troubles for indi viduals among the millions in the nation's eastern half. It forced overtaxing of heating systems, with hundreds' of resulting fires. Overworked firemen faced heroic difficulties skidding to blazes, bat tling ice formation from their hose streams, and enduring added risks and exertion. Motorists flocked to public transportation systems by the thousands as their cars failed. Trains, streetcars and buses were overcrowded and running late. De termined Christmas shoppers added to the burden. And there were the tragedies of cold weather by the score deaths from exposure, overexer tion of shoveling anow or pushing stalled cars, fires, accidents. The eastern states received the brunt of the cold after it had raked the plains and the Mid west. Swan Lake, N. Y., in the Catskill mountains reported an un official 24 below zero.
