FORMER JUSTICE
 HOLMESLNES ON
Aged Jurist Holding His Own Say Doctors-Has
 Some Visitors

Washington, March 1.-(UP).- Former Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the supreme court to" day appeared to be holding his own against a serious attack of pneumonia. The aged justice was in bright humor despite his ill., ness. He spent a comfortable night and his physician, Dr Thomas A.. Claytor, said his condition was un- changed. Holmes took light breakfast of cereal. It was not in- dicated whether use was being made of oxygen tanks taken to the home. Clayton said no stimulcnts were being given. 7.
 Friends and associates made a constant pilgrimmage to the little downtown Washington h s e where the justice has lived for so many years. Among them were Professor Felix Frankfurter of Harvard, kindred legal spirit and long one of his closest friends Chairman Francis Riddle of the National Labor Relations Board visited the house today. Riddle said the illness had not sapped the humor for which the justice had been noted for so many years. He said that Holmes had gleefully thumbed his nose at Frankfurter when the Harvard professor. ob- viously much concerned over the illness. was admitted to the bed. chamber.

President Buys First Baby Bonds For Grandchildren

K Washington. March 1-(UP)- President Roosevelt launched the government's "baby bond" sales campaign today by buying one Of the new securities for each of his five grandchildren and one for himself. Two cabinet officers. turned bond salesmen, made the sales to the president with a fans fare of photographing and cere- mony to attract popular attention to the administrations effort to have small investors buy its se- curities and become partners in the government" simultaneously, the new small-denominatio bonds were offered to everyone at 14,OOO postofices throughout the country.
 MT Roosevelt bought a $25 bond for each of his grandchildren. He paid $1S.75 for each. In 10 years, the grandchildren will receive the full $25 for each bond, the differ ence representing interest on the money lent to the government.
 The bonds also come in units of $50, $1O0, $500 and .$1,000.
 While movie cameras clicked in the oval study of the White House, Secretary of Treasury Henry Nor genthau, Jr, made a "sales talk" to the president. Then Postmaster General James A. Farley. whose department has charge of distribu.- ton of the bonds, made the actual sale.
 "That sounds like . pretty good proposition to me-" MT Roosevelt
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-01

said after Morgenthau explained the bonds to him.
 The president counted out $113 and gave it to Farley, who dug down In his pockets and fished oat 50 cents change. The six $25 bonds, one for each of the grandchildren and one for himself, cost MT Roose- welt $18.75 each or total Of $112.50.
 Morgenthau, who of course was directing his remarks to the whole country, said These bonds arc designed as convenient and profitable investment for the sav- ings of individual investors. As you know, since the World war the government has done it's financing by large bond issues which have been taken by banks and corporations. Now the treas ury has decided that every citizen should have a chance to buy sound government securities and become a partner in his government.
 "The $25 bonds will cost you $18.75 today. If you hold 1t for the full 10 years you will increase your investment, by one-third.
 "In case of emergency, the gov ernment will redeem your bond at any time after 60 days from the date of issue" he added. You cannot be deprived of payment through Loss, theft or destruction. The government always replaces them"
 Farley said buying them "is as simple as buying q money order"
