Hopeful Of Solution OF

today that a final solution of the sol

in the proposed plan to substitute for

vision for adjusted service certificates

Immediately obtain funds from the
banks. Formulation of the plan al

years at he rate of l-2 per cent CON-

years the bank could make demand

In lieu of cash for the other service
men it was agreed TO add new pro-
