OFT informed the quartet OF the
situation and said he would have to
detain them. Miss cambridge pro-
tested that she wasn't Loleta, but to
no avail.
Events seemed to confirm Otis
suspicion that he had the runaway,
when the aunt, Binnie Wallace. con-
firmed by long-distance telephone
that Miss cambridge answered Loleta's
description. She left Immediately for
Washington.
Meanwhile, OFT and his assistants
did all they could to make the de-
tention Of the couple and their COM
paniCns pleasant. Deputy Marshal
John E. Broderick took them to dinner
and then to a movie. When they
finally got back to the court house,
the aunt had arrived. One look was
all that was necessary to decide Miss
Dandrige was not her romantic niece.
"Since we had caused them SO
much trouble" OFT said later, "the
least we could do was to get a min
lister out Of bed to marry them. We
called Rev. j. E. Briggs and took
them to his home, where he per-
formed the ceremony Just before mid
night"

MILLIONS
LIKELY LOAN
FOR j. 5.
International News Service


A new Federal financing opera
ton involving the borrowing OF
approximately 1900 million dol
lars is being considered by the
Treasury.
High fiscal authorities con-
ceded today that the Government
may be required to raise consid-
erably more new cash in the forth
coming December Is financing
program than had been proposed
by President Roosevelt in his re-
cent supplemental budget est1-
mate.
When this estimate was made
early in September, the President
indicated new cash borrowings
would be limited to 750 million
dollars during the remainder OF
the current fiscal year which ends
next June.
Disbursements Heavy
On Septembe~ IS the Treasury
borrowed $50 millions in new
money and at that time Secretary
Morgenthau expressed the nope
that it would not be necessary to
seek more than 300 million addi-
tional.
Continuing high Federal dis
bursements, however, have re-
duced the Treasury'S cash balance
to 1,185 million dollars. Between
now and December IS eXpend1-
lures are expected to exceed 1000
millions. Since tax receipts dur
ing this period are not expected
to aggregate more than 900 mil
lions, the Government cash reserve
will have shrunk to about 750 mil
lions by the middle of December.
Must Pay Notes
On December Is, the Treasury
must pay off in cash 400 millions
of short term notes which were
issued earlier this year to raise
money from soldiers bonus pay
mentS.
IL AAC0oAAy NN4AS"S NAANO
800 millions, it will have but $50
millions remaining in its cash bal
ance after liquidating the 400
millions in short term notes.
Margin Too Narrow
It is not likely the Treasury will
operate with such small cash
margin. For a long time the
Administration has maintained at
least 1000 millions in unear-
marked money on hand to safe
guard against any emergency in
Europe.
Officials indicated that the
Treasury probably will borrow a
minimum Of 700 millions in cash
and admitted this figure might be
raised to 1000 millions.
Since Government financing
operations are carried forward on
a quarterly basis enough cash
must be raised in December to
meet expenditures until the fol-
Loving March.

night at 7 o'clock when a lineup
of some 80 white and colored

In announcing the lineup would

pointed out the morale has never

He admitted, however, that the
