FEDERAL BOND
OFFER IN JUNE
Seen AT 23-4%
Treasury Faces Retirement
of Issues Aggregating
$2,316,602, 800.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, April 6.-Bond
house opinion disclosed today a
fairly well formed expectation that
the Federal governments June
financing program will involve a
substantial offering of long-term
GAS. This would mark a new low
in the current steady shaving of
Treasury coupon rates and would
equal the rate set for the most re-
cent issue of Home Owners Loan
bonds.
Belief of such forthcoming offer
ing gained ground in response to
indication in Washington by Them
as j. Coolidge, Acting Secretary of
the Treasury, that the Treasury
would have no important offerings,
other than bills, prior to June Is.
In its June financing problems,
the government faces redemption of
81 900, 100000 of First Liberty bonds,
including 31ss, Is and 4As, already
called for June Is, and a maturity
on that same date of $416, 6O2 300 in
8 per cent notes.
Market Invites Rate
In expressing the belief that the
Treasury's next coupon rate will be
% per cent, it is pointed out that
the present government bond mar
ket invites such an offering. The
level of the market already is of
character to lend attraction to a
"a per cent issue, and in some
quarters it is expected that the
government bond market is likely to
feel the influence of added support
before the time for a government
offering arrives.
1t is significant, in anticipating
such prospective issue, that the
Treasury 27ss, offered in exchange
for the called Fourth Liberty 4As
up to Wednesday of last week, al
ready have advanced in the market
to reduce the net yield to about
278. The Home Owners Loan 2%S
also have passed par, cutting the
yield to 2.7O per cent.
Support Seen
There is considerable belief around
bond houses that the government
bond market is receiving at least
indirect support from federal
sources. A continuance of such sup
port is expected so that the stage
may be even better set than now for
a large June offering at the "a per
cent rate, The trend seems def
nitely headed, some bond men say,
toward establishment of az per
cent yield basis in government bond
prices. In such a situation, with no
prospect that the huge available in
vestment funds will be reduced in
the meantime by other operators, it
is foreseen that the Treasury could
dispose of its June financing prob
lem with ease.

100000 Workers Involved

Less than 100000 individuals are
employed by United States shipping
companies, SO the administrative
problem of handling direct wage
payments would not be great, spon-
Sors of the plan believe
Some contend that this plan
would effect great savings for the
government. They suggest that the
differentials, particularly in operat-
ing costs, are not as great as the
shipping companies have contended.
The United States is the only major
maritime nation which does not
provide social security benefits for
it's merchant seamen. This fact
alone, it is said, goes a long way
toward equalizing the difference
between wages on American and
foreign ships.
In this connection it has been
pointed out that present mail pay
ments of $28,5o0,000 a year more
than meet the entire wage, sub
sistence, maintenance and repair
charges of the mail contractors.

DIRECT SUBSIDY
|. FOR SEAMEN is
UNDER SCRUTINY
Workers, Instead of Owners,
Would Get Funds Via
Discussed Aim.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, April GA new
type of merchant marine subsidy,
involving direct grants to labor, is
being discussed informally in Con-
gress.
The existing system is a subsidy
to ship owners through ocean mail
contracts whereby the government
sometimes pays $500 for the trans
portation of a single letter. The
mail-pay plan has been widely
abused, and its failure to provide
the United States with an adequate
fleet of modern passenger and cargo
ships is generally conceded.
In his subsidy message. to Con-
gress, President Roosevelt suggested
that ocean mail contracts be termi-
mated and that annual appropri-
ations be made thereafter for di-
rect payments to the shipping COM
panies. The House Merchant Ma
rine Committee. now at work on
subsidy legislation, apparently is
combining itself to carrying out the
Presidents suggestion.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-06
u. S. Would Pay

The new plan under discussion
takes into consideration the two
primary handicaps of the United
States merchant marine-the higher
costs of constructing ships in this
country and of operating them with
American Seamen.
Investigations have shown that
subsidies paid into corporation
treasures frequently went into
dividends and high salaries rather
than into the property itself or into
wages.
The new plan would pay the sub
Sidy to labor. For example, on
ship costing 100000 to build in
Great Britain and 100000 in the
United States, the government
would allow the domestic shipyard
to pay British labor rates and would
make up the difference between that
rate and the domestic scale, paying
the money directly to the workers.
The operating differential would
be handled the same way. The
American lines would base their
pay on that of their nearest COM
petitor and the government would
make up the difference directly to
the employees.

vANNUYS FAILS
TO MAKE CALL
ON GOVERNOR
Senator Asserts He Didn't

Political Farley.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times stan Writer

There wasn't any political history
made at the Statehouse today,
United states Senator Frederick
VanNuys foregoing MS scheduled
conference with Gov. McNutt.
The Senator said he didn't have
time to pay the much ballyhooed
call, which would have been his first
appearance at the Statehouse since
Gov. McNutt's Inauguration.
He hoped, however, he said. to
make a telephone call before leav-
ing for Washington later today. #

ford Townsend at noon for Cayuga
to attend a four-county Democratic
rally.
Coming as it did on the heels Of d
conference yesterday between the
Governor and Senator Sherman
Minton, Senator VanNuys' scheduled
call was looked upon in some quar-
tiers as a gesture toward healing the
rupture between the state admins
tration and the VanNuys faction.
The last talk between the Gov
ernor and Senator VanNuys was on
the Roosevelt Special when the
President passed through Indiana.
Senator VanNuyS said today he
found everything satisfactory. both
industrially and politically" on his
swing through 35 counties.
His statement was not elaborated
upon and was open to more than
one construction, inasmuch as ne
threatened when he broke with the
state administration to make such
a trip and build an organization
to prevent the McNutt faction from
steam rollering the next state con-
Vention.
The conference yesterday between
Gov, McNutt and Senator Minton
also included Pleas Greenlee, the
Governors patronage secretary, and
was reported to have dealt with the
latter's prospective candidacy for
Governor.

THE big sedan sped down the

fore any one had got to the police
mans side.
For the next half hour every
thing was in confusion. The bank
cashier was in a state of nervous

convulsively while some one bathed

the telephone, call the nearest city
and notify the police there.
After a time the confusion less
ended enough, and the aging cashier
recovered enough, so that he and
the teller and the banks president,
who had been summoned by tele-
phone, could begin to reckon up the
total of the loss.
About the time they had finished
they found that some $4,000 in
cash and bonds worth $4,000 had
been taken-anothar big car came

deputies arrived and asked some

The entire populace of the little

with the sheriff, turned to the
