South's Financial Difficulties
By MERTON T. AKERS
UPI Correspondent
The Confederacy made its
first - and only - excursion
into high international fi
nance in 1863 with indifferent
success.
From first to last in the em
battled life of the Confeder
acy hard money was scarce.
In the whole four years of
its existence the Confederate
treasury scrapped up only
about $25 million in metal
money. This sum came from
specie - about $8 million
seized in Federal customs
houses and mints at the start
of the war, about $3 million
In a gold loan in Europe and
an early bond drive to drain
into the treasury all the hard
money from the strong boxes
of patriotic citizens.
Against this $25 million the
Confederates issued about $1
billion in paper money.
Near the end of 18B2, Chris
topher G. Memminger, Con
federate Secretary of Treas
ury,, was feeling the pinch
for gold to pay for munitions
coming in from abroad.
Placed in Orphanage
Memminger had come to
the United States from Ger
many as a child soon after the
turn of the century. Mis fam
ily put him into a Charleston,
S C. orphanage and was not
heard of again.
'He grew up in the orphan
age and attracted the atten
tion of a trustee who educated
him as a lawyer. Memminger
made a reputation as finan
cier by fighting and winning
a celebrated bank case in
Charleston.
When the Confederacy was
organized he was recommend
ed to President Jefferson
Davis for the treasury post
and promptly was appointed.
The day Memminger open
ed his small office in Mont
gomery, Ala., then the capital
of the Confederacy, his first
customer was a colonel carry
ing an order from Davis for
money to outfit an army unit.
He was received by Henry D
Capers, Memmingcr's only
employee.
The colonel demanded his
money immediately.
Capers readied into his
pocket and pulled out a cou
ple of Federal $5 bills.
"This is all the money in
the Confederate treasury at
present," Capers told the col
onel. Memminger arranged for a
local bank to advance the
money on his personal credit.
"At the beginning the Con
federacy did not have enough
money to buy the desk on
which the Secretary wrote,"
Memminger said later.
French Offer Godiend
In the fall of 1882 when
Confederate military pros
pects were at their highest,
came an offer from France
to float a 25 million cotton
loan. Confederate credits in
Europe were almost gone. The
offer seemed a god-send.
It came from Eiiangcr et
Cie, a French banking house
which enjoyed the goodwill of
Emperor Napoleon III who
wus fishing in the troubled
waters of the American Civil
War in hopes of re-establish
ing the Western Hemisphere
empire his uncle, Napoleon I
hud sold to Thomas Jefferson
for $15 million.
Erlangcr's first terms were
touch. They would underwrite
a $25 million loan at 8 per
cent, the bonds to be delivered
to the banking house at 70.
Fur value was to be 100. Er
langer was to get any of the
proceeds over the figure 70
plus certain commissions. Fur
thermore the loan was to be
secured with cotton at 12
cents a pound.
English and French mills
were starving for cotton
What little cotton there was
on the market in Europe was
selling at 50 to 80 cents a
pound. Mill hands in England
and r ranee were out of work
hungry and costing their gov
crnments heavy doles.
Somebody - presumable Er-
lunger et Cie - stood to make
a mint of money if - and it
seemed to the French bankers
to be almost a certainty - the
Confederacy won the war and
could deliver the cotton six
months after peace.
Plenty of Cotton
The Confederate govern
ment had plenty of cotton -about
450.000 bales of it -piled
up in warehouses and
on plantations behind the Fed
eral blockade.
As astute as the Erlanger
bankers were at this point,
they ran into a man just as
astute - Secretary of State Ju
dah P. Benjamin.
This was a cotton specula
tion, not a loan, Benjamin said
and first opposed it. But he
bargained with the Erlanger
representatives who came to
Richmond to negotiate the
deal. He drove down the in
terest rate from 8 to 7 per
cent, the whole amount of the
loan to $15 million and then
increased the selling price to
the Confederate government
from 70 to 77.
It was in that form that the
Confederate Congress approv
ed the loan on Jan. 29, 1863.
Subscription books for the
loan offered at 80, were open
ed on March 18, 1863. By
nightfall the loan was over
subscribed. S u b s c riptions
come In from all over Europe.
A week later the subscriptions
reached $80 million for the
$15 million loan. One of the
subscribers was William E.
Gladstone, British Chancellor
of the Exchequer, for $10,000.
Soon the Confederate cot
ton bonds were quoted at
95'2, their highest point.
Began To Fluctuate
Then something happened.
The bonds began to fluctuate,
ending up a little lower after
each change.
Erlanger was alarmed. The
bankers said the U.S. Gov
ernment was buying as the
bond prices went down and
forming a "bear party."
Settlement day - when the
subscribers were to lay down
the rest of their money -was
April 24, 1863. Erlanger
feared by that date the bonds
would be so low that sub
scribers would forfeit the 15
per cent they already had
paid in.
Soon London papers began
to publish letters telling how
Presi dent Davis, when he was
a senator from Mississippi,
had defended his state in de
faulting on some of its bonds
- about $10 million. "Davis,
the Rcpudiator," he was
called.
The Confederate victory at
Chanccllorville in May had
bolstered the bond prices but
then came the battle of Get
tysburg and the capture of
Vicksburg in July. These Con
federate reverses and Walk
er's activities panicked the Er-Iangcrs.
They proposed that the
bond money already paid in
be used to keep up the price
-that is, the Confederate gov
ernment use its own money
collected from both sales to
hold up the price, the Erlang
ers to handle the transaction.
Mason objected. The Erlan
gers were firm-cither use the
Confederate funds to hold up
the bond prices or the bank
ing firm would get out and
close the books.
Little Choice
The Confederate commis
sioners in Paris had little
choice. Finally they capitulat
ed and Mason signed an agree
ment empowering Erlanger et
Cie to use up to $5 million of
Confederate funds to hold up
the market.
First the F.rlangers poured
in $2 million in two days
When they bought, the bond
prices finned. When they
withdrew, the price fell.
All told about $ti(l million
went into the losing battle of
the bonds, historians have
concluded.
Overall the Confederacy
seems to have come out with
about $2.50 million, pledging
meantime to pay $15 million
plus 7 per cent interest.
The Erlangers appear to
have made $2.7 million on the
deal.
The losers, largely English
men who sympathized with
the South, were the subscrib
ers who bought the bonds.
They lost everything be
cause the North won the war
and the bonds never were
paid, nor was the cotton delivered.
Contracts Let
In National Forest
Klamath Falls Award of
contracts for construction of
improvements on the Winema
forest have been announced
by Forest Supervisor A. E.
Smith.
Quality Builders of Klam
ath Falls was successful bid
der for construction of im
provements at the Chiloquin
Ranger station. The building
program awarded to Quality
Builders includes four resi
dences, an office, warehouse,
barracks and gas and oil
house. Total price of the suc
cessful bid was $133,428.
Another contract for build
ings also at the Chiloquin
Ranger station site was
awarded to Kyle Construction
company, Portland. This con
tract covers three residences
and one equipment storage
building and is awarded un
der the accelerated public
works program. The Kyle
Construction company bid
was $64,060.
It is anticipated that both
projects will get under way
soon depending, of course, on
winter weather conditions.
A contract for two resi
dences and an equipment
storage building at the Chem
ult Ranger station has been
awarded to M. R. Holtz, Oak
ridge, at a bid of $51,277.
This construction project is
also financed under acceler
ated public works.
Eldon Alt, Klamath Falls
contractor, was successful
bidder on comfort station fa
cilities for the Aspen Point
campground at Lake of the
Woods.
The bid was $34,465 for six
units, also an accelerated pub
lic works program.
The award of these con
tracts completes the obliga
tion of $180,000 of accelerat
ed public works funds made
available to the Winema for
est for expenditures in Klam
ath county, the forest service
explained.
Force account work, includ
ing planting, timber stand im
provement and hazard reduc
tion, was included in the
work programs. Employment
under the accelerted public
works project began early in
November and extended into
mid - January. Seventy - one
man months of added employ
ment were made possible
through the force account pro
jects.
The work accomplished in
cluded 100 acres of plantation
on the Chemult district, 340
acres of thinning on the Chil
oquin district. 200 acres of
thinning and pruning in
young Ponderosa pine stands
on the Klamath district and
100 acres of area treated for
hazard reduction, also on the
Klamath district.

MONEY SCARCE - From first to last, hard
money was scarce in the Confederacy. In
its entire four years of existance, the Con
federate treasury was able to raise only $25
million in metal money. Against this $25
million, over $1 billion In paper money was
issued. Neither bond issue nor patriotic
giving would provide the answer. The Con
federate states lived out their years of life
with inflation and a startling lack of funds.
It even failed in its own excursion into the
realm of high international finance. Shown
here is a reproduction of a $100 bill issued
by the Richmond government in late 1862.
It is one of many styles of money issued by
the South to make up the billion dollars
issued. (UPI)

West Coast Dairymen
Meet Population Trends
Vigor or "Vigah," our dairy.
men have it. Undaunted by
population trends, the dairy
industry of our west coast
states goes right on doing
what comes naturally.
Few people realize that
dairying is essentially a daily
business and that it involves
basically, milk, the most mo
bile of all food products.
The gearing has been going
on for decades as men of the
industry have continued to
step up production, modern
ize, construct new facilities,
anticipate needs. It is clear
that the dairy industry is
meeting all challenges and as
we reflect that if one single
consumer, new or old, could
not find milk on any given
day, there'd be quite a fuss.
In addition to filling fluid
milk needs our state produces
daily tremendous quantities of
fine nutrition-packed cottage
cheese, along with Cheddar
and other fine cheeses.
Evaporated canned milk
plants dot our western land
scape putting it high in the
nation in "evap" production.
Another major dairy product
in which we take pride is our
nonfat dry milk industry that
processes well over 71 Va mil
lion pounds of milk and put
it into convenient packages
for consumer use.

With Nonfat Dry Milk
Instant nonfat milk is a
very convenient dairy food
that harmonizes with our jet
age living. As it pours from
the box, it blends easily and
instantly with other ingredi
ents in all types of food prep

the making of a superb cus
tard pie for an eight-inch pie

Or just pour mixture as sug
gested for pie into custard
cups and make 50-55 minutes
in a 350 degree oven.

Topping
If it's a pie you're making,
prepare an eight-inch pie crust
using favorite recipe or a mix;
chill before preparing filling.
Mix together eggs, nonfat
dry milk, sugar, salt and ex
tracts until well blended. Stir
in hot water. Pour into un
baked crust; bake 25 minutes.

coconut is lightly toasted.
Chill before serving.
If it's custard cups you're
making, omit almond flavor

cups, sprinkle with nutmeg
and place in a pan of hot wa
ter at least one inch deep.
Bake 50-55 minutes or until
custard is barely firm when
tested with blade of a silver

Because of Some Differences
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Bureau
Washington - (Special)
Oregon's Howard Morgan has
told President Kennedy he
wants to be re
lieved of his
post on the
Federal Pow
er Commission
this Spring.
Morgan plans
to return to
Oregon, where
he has a black
angus 'rattle
breeding ranch
near Sisters. He will probably
plunge back into Oregon poli
tics subsequently, possibly In
a bid for state office. Morgan
ha.s been Oregon public Utili
ty Commissioner, a state leg
islator and, as State Chairman
of the Democratic party, was
instrumental in getting Sen.
Wayne Morse, a former Re
publican, to switch his regis
tration to the Democratic
party.
In a three-page letter to
Kennedy, Morgan indicated
he is leaving the FPC, when
his term expires June 22, be
cause of differences with the
other commissioners, all of
whom were appointed by Ken
nedy. He did not list the dif
ferences, however, but sug
gested that they "are clenrly
visable to those who have
read the dissenting opinions
which I have been obliged to
write during my service
here."
Urge Stronger Exertisnt
Morgan's dissents have gen
erally urged stronger regula
tory exertions by the FPC re
specting private power com
panies. He has privately ex
pressed disappointment that
his view in this respect is a
minority view rather than the
prevailing attitude of the
Kennedy appointees.
"There are a number of
reasons for my decision, but
I am sure I should be con
sidered less than gracious if
I were to list them all," Mor
gan wrote the President.
Instead, he warned that the
noble goal of public utility
regulation, "standing as it
does midway between the ex
tremes of unbridled monoply
and undiluted state owner
ship," is underminded when
"ordinary men" are entrusted
with this tough assignment.
Recalling that outstanding
lawmakers such as George
Norris, Hiram Johnson and
Gifford Pinchot put regula
tory laws on the books, Mor
gan said:
"Oridnary men cannot ad
minister those laws today in
the face of pressures generat
ed by huge industries and
focused with great skill on
and against sensitive areas of
government. Ordinary men
yield too quickly to the pres-
scnt-day urge toward conform
ity, timidity and personal se
curity." Tends to Make Fraud
When this condition exists
asserted Morgan, it tends to
make utility regulation
fraud upon the public and a
protective shield behind
which monopoly may oper
ate to the public detriment."
"The big problem in the
regulatory field is not ex-
parte communications, influence-peddling
and corruption,
as that word is commonly un
derstood, though where these
problems exist they can be
serious," Morgan said. "But
abandonment of the public in
terest can be caused by many
things, of which timidity and
a desire for personal security
are the most insidious, the
least detectable and. once
established in a regulatory ag
ency, the hardest to eradi
cate." Morgan noted that the FPC,
in regulating the natural gas
and electric power industries
on an interstate level, makes
many decisions involving mil
lions of dollars. A less-than-
courageous commissioner, he
said, might fear arousing an
industry campaign against his
reappointment to another
term.

Operations For
Convulsive Attacks
A mother wrote recently to
say that she has a child who
occasionally has a convulsion.
N e u rologists
have given Di
lantin, a drug
which has
helped, but
the mother
keeps main
taining that
she wants the
boy's brain
J operated on so
Alvarez mai ne win De
cured for life. She says that
she is not going to give up
until she finds a neurosurgeon
who will do want she wants
done. She is sure that with
an operation, the child can
be completely cured.
I fear she is wrong. Unfor
tunately, there are only a few
children with seizures who
can be cured with an oper
ation, and usually a good neu
rologist can quickly tell if
there is any possibility of
this being done. He can learn
much by asking the mother
exactly what the seizures are
like. In those cases in which
an operation can be perform
ed with some chance of suc
cess, the epilepsy is either
what is called Jacksonian or
it is called "psychomotor."
In cases of Jacksonian ep
ilepsy, the attack is likely to
start in one hand or foot or
side of the face, and then
spread to the rest of the body.
A neurologist can then guess
where in the brain to look
for the area in which the
"storm" starts.
In cases of psychomotor ep
ilepsy, the person may start
with some strange sensation
perhaps a feeling that the
things he sees are receding
into the distance or he is see
ing something that he has
seen before. Then for a mo
ment he may seem absent
minded; he may behave in
some odd way; he may seem
to be chewing, or he may rub
one eye. In cases like this the
electroencephalograms may
show that the disease is not
scattered evenly throughout
the brain - as it is in ordin
ary cases in which the cause
is a hereditary tendency - but
is concentrated in perhaps a
"temporal lobe," over one
ear.
During his many years in
the great Neurological Insti
tute in Montreal, Dr. Wilder
Penfield and his associates
put a stop to the seizures of
many an epileptic by remov
ing a little bit of the diseased
brain.
A year ago a man walked
into my office just to thank
me. He said he was over 40
and from childhood onward
had had so many curious seiz
ures a day that he had never
been able to go to school or
to take a job.
Then one day his mother
read a column of mine in
which I had described Jack
sonian epilepsy. She immedi
ately said to her son, "This is
a description of your spells."
She took him to a nearby uni
versity medical school where
the neurosurgeons operated
and removed the bit of brain
that had been sending out the
"storms." The man said, "With
that operation I became per
fectly well, and now I am go
ing to school so that I can
learn enough to get a job. I
just want to say God bless
you."
Histoplasmosis
A few years ago physicians
had hardly heard of histoplas
mosis, and so we thought it
was a rare disease; we thought
it was largely confined to
the valleys of the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. Now, Dr.
Michael L. Furcolow of Kan
sas City, Kas., who for a long
time has been studying this
disease, says that it can be
found in any river valley.
Birds are implicated in
causing the trouble; their
droppings favor the growth
of the yeast-like parasite
which produces the disease.
Men should wear a good face
mask if they have to clean
out, let us say, a church bel
fry which is full of bird dung.
In from a third to a half
of the patients, the disease
looks like an influenza. Thera
may be some calcification
(lime deposits) of spot in the
lung - calcifications which
can easily be seen with x
rays. There is an acute form
of the disease, like a pneumo
nia, and a chronic like tuber
culosis. Often an expert can
say that the small white
spots in the film of the lungs
look more like those of histo
plasmosis than like the bigger
ones of TB. A skin test can
be made which will help
greatly in m aking the diagno
sis. One can be absolutely pos
itive about the presence of
the disease only after an ex
pert shows the parasite, per
haps in test-tube cultures of
the person's sputum. In the
past, many of the patients in
t u b e r c u losis sanatorium
doubtless uad histoplasmosis.
Now, great efforts are being
made to recognize quickly tha
cases of histoplasmosis, so
that the patients won't be
treated for tuberculosis.
The drug that has been
found most helpful in combat
ing the disease is an antibiotic
called amphotericin B.
In his 24-page booklet,
"What Is Epilepsy?" Dr. Al
varez answers this question
and clears up many miscon
ceptions about the disease.
