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?"
Age, Improper Storage Make Drugs Unsafe
NBFU Sets Rules for
Burning Trash, leaves
New York -lTIV-Vhen burn
ing leaves or trash, heed
these rules from the National
Board of Fire Underwriters:
Never burn leaves or
trash on a windy day; have
the garden hose connected to
a water line and ready to use
it your fire should get out of
hand: be sure your fire Is com
pletely out before you leave
it. .
Chicafo-m-When the UU
new is over, there is only one
safe place for those leftover
prescription drugs down the
drain!
A warning issued by the
American Medical association
explains why. Three cases of
poisoning have been reported
from the use of "degraded"
antibiotics in the home. Age
and improper storage condi
tions in medicine chests and
refrigerators cause a chemi
cal breakdown which con
verts life saving compounds
into toxic chemicals.
