E HUGE I FOR GOVERNMENT (Continued Prom Page One.) out. attaching their fingerprints and filing them with the veterans' ad ministration, ex-soldiers will formally apply lor the aso bonds. Under the law, these bonds may be cashed al local postofflces beginning next June 15 or held to obtain 3 per cent Interest. Before the bonds are distributed. however, the blanks must be double checked at the veterans' administra tion an operation requiring 7.000.000 arithmetical calculations. Officials predicted that most of the veterans would have their bonds "by aummer." "They'll have to be patient and they'll have to wait." said Adelbert Hlller, executive assistant to veter ans' administration Prank T. Hlnea. "It's going to be a tremendous Job." Orthodox Financing After the bureau of engraving pro duces 38,000.000 bonds required. It will be ths treasury's Job to distrib ute them. Asked whether "orthodox mtehods" would be used In raising the. cash to redeem the securities. Secretary Morgenthau said "yes." The bonus bill Itself carries no ap propriation; that presumably will He passed through congress later. The treasury already has Indicated that the financing would Increase next year's deficit, possibly to 5,600,000,000, In the statement warning against "frittering away" cash, the White House and veterans leaders, eald: "Immediate and urgent need for funds offers, of course, a valid rea son for cashing the bonds. In the same way, the paying off of Indebtedness wholly reasonable. Just as using the cash for something of permanent value such as a new home or the definite improvement of an existing home, would be reason able." Administration officials have ex pressed a belief that veterans would demand not more than $1,000,000 in cash at present, but it was Indicated that the treasury might plan to have 91,600,000,000 available in case the demands were greater. Pension Seen Next ! Many members of congress predict ed that demanda for pension legisla tion would follow enactment of the bonus bill, but they differed widely on when the drive would come. Veterans will be unable to get their money for the new bonds before June 15 at the earliest, veterans' adminis tration officials aatd. Harold W. Breln lng, assistant administrator, said '.he bonds are not cashable before that date and will not betssued before then. Borrowing on the bonds will be Impossible and unnecessary, they will be redeemable at government officer as soon as Issued. The bonds could not be posted as collateral for a loan, however, because they are non-transferable, non-negotiable Instruments. HAZEL J.
