Bookkeepers took out their green ink
bottles at the end of the quarter-year
and comptited their federal debt ai
approximately $31,600,000,000. (They

ent total. They computed the debt
at $36,000,000,000, a boost upward of
$4,500,000,000.
The disparity lies In the fact that
the treasury book artists apparently

This grand unaccounted addition to
the debt totals 4.546.000.000 as of
that date. It la probably around .
800.000,000 by now.
Note Careful accountants alio
would probably Include some of thu

credit bank debentures, althouiji
most of the 2.000,000.000 of land

depression. The credit bank deben

If the government were a corpora
tion, It would be required by law t
Include these figures In Its debt to
tals. The securities and exchange
commission would indict anyone th'is
, attempting to minimize his true debt
condition.
The logical excuse offered by the
treasury Is that these guaranteed ob
ligations are backed "dollar for dol
lar" by something (mortgages. Dink
etock or whatever the particular agen
cies have taken In as collateral.)
The fact Is they are backed, all
tight, but no one has the slightest
Idea whether the government Is gol.ig
to come out of It "dollar for dollar."
It will suffer some losses, but If It
accepted true depression valuations

PORTLAND, April a.p) Oregon
relief officials said today that men
70 year or older on WPA projects

sible inclusion in the state's new old

Some 400 men will be affected. If
they cannot qualify for old age as
sistance, they wilt be returned to the
WPA or considered for direct relief
from the state.
J. C. Albright, assistant WPA ad
ministrator, said tha bulk of the men

About 325 men In this area will be
referred to the SERA, fiO In district
three. Salem, and 35 each In dis
trict one, Pendleton, and four, Med
ford. Explaining the transfer,. Albright
said:
"In considering ways and means of
meeting reduced WPA quotas, we
have considered . various proposals
which might be put Into effect with
the least difficulty.
"Taking off the roll those men 70
years or older is one of them. An
other la the absorption of employ
ables by private Industry without re
place men t of them on project.
"In advancing these quota-red uc-7
lng suggestions to our district head
quarters, we are not suggesting that
the aged be Included In the old age
assistance program. That 1 up to the
SERA.
'If the SERA cannot take care of
all of these men. It will refer back to
us those case which It feel are eli
gible for WPA work and we will re
consider them.
"The WPA will require that all men
working on projects be able to do
the required number of hour of
work."
Elmer Goudy, state relief adminis
trator, confirmed the statement of
Albright and added:
"None of the caaea hav come to
