CO-ORDINATED MILK SALES Lady Treasurer Finds Checkbook Out of Balance By MARCARET A. KILGORE United Press International Washington - (UPD - The lady who puts her signature on new U.S. paper money ad mit! to a common female fail ing: She can't balance her checkbook. Mrs. Kathryn O'May Gran- ahan, attractive grey-haired former Congresswoman, is treasurer of the United States. This is why her name appears in the lefthand corner on the gray side of all new currency, "It's really awful," Mrs. Granahan said with a laugh "I can tell other people about their money, but I have trou ble with my own checkbook. Usually I end up getting some one else to balance it for me.1 Mrs. Granahan, a native of Easton, Pa., haa been treasur er since last January. She says it is "a prestige Job with lots of work Involved. "The demands on .my time are tremendous," she said. "I'm booked up with speak ing engagements and conven tions until 1964." Set Up in 1789 The business side of her job was set up by Congress in 1789 for the purpose of re ceiving, keeping and disburs ing all public money. Conse quently, government officers deposit with the treasurer all receipts of public money, in cluding taxes, customs duties, and the national debt. These receipts are used by the treasurer to pay the more than S00 million checks drawn on the treasury depart ment every fiscal year to de fray congressional appropriations. Mrs. Granp'ian is the 34th treasurer and the fourth wo man to hold the post, which usually goes to a staunch party worker-in thia case a Kennedy Democrat. "The question people ask me most frequently is wheth er I sign all the money in circulation personally," she said. "Obviously, I don't." She said that when she took office a staff member from the federal bureau of engrav ing asked her to sign her name 10 times on a sheet of paper. The -engraver then chose the rmst legible and made a metal plate which duplicates the signature on paper money. Office Showpiece When Mrs. Granahan is in Washington, she works in an office which is considered a showplace among the usual somber government offices preferred by her male coun terparts. The room, located In the treasury department next to the White House, is done in rich reds with white leather furniture set about. She works from a big ma hogany desk in front of a large picture of the first lady which is inscribed "to Kath ryn E. Granahan, with best wishes, Jacqueline Kennedy." Mrs. Kennedy sent her the photograph at the time the President named her to the post last September. "I like being treasurer," Mrs. Granahan said simply, "and I think it is terribly im portant that the President names women to high places in government. But I still miss the capitol very much.' She had served in the House since the death of her Con gressman husband in 19S6, But she lost her seat during a reapportionment shakeup in Pennsylvania last year which eliminated her Second District in Philadelphia. Terrific Shock U was a terrific shock to me at the time," she recalled "Kept asking myself, why me? I was one of the biggest vote getters in the Pennsylvania delegation and the first wom an ever, elected to Congress from Philadelphia." She blamed the organiza tion of longtime Philadelphia political boss William Green tor her loss. But she dis cussed It without rancor. "I still want to help the state party when I can," she said, "But I feel somewhat re moved from the situation." One of her current prob lems is answering the volumes of mail she gets from persons wondering it the color of money will be changed, as has been suggested. "I doubt very much If we'll change the color while I'm In office." she said. "Green has become a tradition on bills. And besides, what would col or blind people do?"
