BANKERS LIKE
NEW PLAN FOR
WAS
lb
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 M)
A spokesman for the nation's
banks says they think well of
the treasury procedure which
permits a bond holder to get his
cash at a bank immediately if
lie needs it.
"We welcome the plan, said
W. Randolph Burgess, president
of the American Bankers associ
ation. , ,
"I believe that in the long run
there will be fewer bonds cashed
under this plan than under the
old one where the bond holder
had to wait lor his money." Bur
gess said in a radio interview
last night.
Treasurv Undersecretary Dan
iel W. Bell, also on the broad
cast, said "that is exactly my
own view and I can assure you
that the treasury intends to con
tinue this procedure."
The plan went into effect, Oc
tober 2, and October redemp--tions
were higher than any pre
vious month. But redemptions
decreased in November.
Bell said November redemp
tions were about one per cent of
the total amount of savings
bonds held by the public.
To date, about 12 per cent of
all savings bonds have been re
deemed. That means 88 cents
of every dollar of savings bonds
sold are still in the hands of the
buyer.
The treasury announced yes
terday that total sales in the 6th
War Loan are $15,874,000,000,
of which $3,663,000,000 are sales
to individuals. The overall quo
ta of 14 billion dollars has been
passed, but not the individual
quota of S billion.
Explaining this, Undersec
retary Bell said it was not be
cause individuals are slow to
subscribe. He said:
"Getting subscriptions from
corporations and insurance com
panies is quick and easy. . , They
don't need much selling. But
individuals are an entirely dif
ferent problem. There are 40
million people who will sub
scribe before this month is
over. They have to be reached
by six million salesmen, mostly
by personal interview. This is
the real work of the drive. A
fine job is being done but it
takes time."
The four-week sales campaign
officially ends Saturday, but
bond money reaching govern
ment depositories until the end
of December will be counted in
the drive. Final figures will be
announced January 2.

U. S. Navy Large
Than All Others,
Reports Hepburn
SEATTLE, Dec. 14 (IP) Our
navy now is "larger than all
others put together and we must
keep it that way," Admiral
Arthur J. Hepburn, navy dele
gate to the Dumbarton Oaks
conference, said here yesterday.
The armed superiority which
the United States now possesses
must be maintained after the
war, he said, "until some inter
national organization is in op
eration." "Every country will have to
demobilize with the peace," he
said. "But we must maintain the
armament ratio."
Admiral Hepburn characteriz
ed the Dumbarton conference as
a "germ of progress," but
stressed that it proposed no in
ternational "super-state" nor in
fringement on international sov
ereignty. "Don't expect too much of
it," he warned. "It is not a fin
ished product."
Twenty million lives and
S400,000,000,000 were lost by
the nations involved In World
war I.

Marines Fighi in War,
Then Back It Up Helping
To Sell Bonds in Drive
Klamath's marines are prov
ing themselves as adept at back
ing up the front-line fighters now
as they were at the actual front
line fighting a few months ago,
and much of the 6th War Loan
success in this district will be
due to their efforts.
This week a 30-man troupe of
leatherneck entertainers, includ
ing two men who have been
decorated for bravery in action,
are plugging war bond sales in
several eastern Oregon towns.
Reports from towns already
reached indicate record buying.
A party of officers hunting
duck near the state line dropped
in on a Wild-West jamboree
and rally at the Merrill com
munity house one night recently,
and assisted in selling the amaz
ing total of S410.000 in bonds.
In this party was Waj. Joe Foss.
the marines' number one bond
salesman.
Maj. Foss, the mighty marine
flyer credited with bagging 26
Japanese planes, left the Marine
Barracks Wednesday to cam
paign for war bond purchases,
this time in Portland.
The tall, slender fighter, his
chest bedecked with medals in
cluding the Congressional Medal
of Honor, is taking a three
months' rest to fight off the af
fects of malaria.
He addressed workers at Ore
gon Shipbuilding corporation
Wednesday afternoon, and was
billed for another war bond ap
pearance that night.
Another marine hero who has
done his share of this sort of
work is Medal of Honor winner
Lt. Mitchell Paige, who ap
peared on the drive's opening
breakfast radio program. Lt.
Paige, when he first came back
from oversea?, sold about $3,000,
000 worth of bonds around his
home in eastern Pennsylvania
and in Chicago.
This coming Saturday . night
a detachment will journey to
Tulelake to help with a bond
auction in that border town.
In this group are two marines
with story-book jobs overseas.
Cpl. Roy I. Jindra was a combat
photographer and covered land
ings on 37 islands in the Mar
shall, while PFC Walter J.
Burke has been commended for
his work as Jap language ex
pert and interpreter on Eniwetok
and Guam.

introduced by Navy Cross Wuv

barracks commanding officer,
and held the stage tor 15 min
utes, relating his early Guadal
canal experiences.
Even tne school children have
not been overlooked by the
leatherneck salesmen. Cpl. Don
Endicott, Bougainville veteran,
has made talks in every school in
Klamath county, on behalf of
war bonds and stamps.
Since the opening of the drive
the Vox theatre booth on Main
lias been manned by a marine
detachment, headed by Mibgt
dick Bandy.
In addition to all these out
side activities, the marines have
a $76,000 goal at the barracks
to be filled.
