Bing Miller, the man who directed
the destinies of Henderson high school
athletic teams last year, and did II
well, stopped in town yesterday to at
tend to some personal business, ana
fingered just long enough to say that
he would be back in Henderson about
September 1, and issued call for
grid candidates at the local high
school a short time thereafter.

Miller has been playing baseball dur
inc the summer months. Shortly aft
er school ended here last year, he
caught on with New Bern in the Coast
al Plains circuit, but illness cut him
down. He is now playing with Clay
ton in the Tobacco States League, and
just recently won a game for them
with a timely double in the tenth. Bing
is debating whether to go to Dante,
Va, to play in the Valley league for
two weeks before coming here, or
whether to stick at Clayton, coming
from there.
Miller has had a fine year in base
ball, and was certainly smacking that
apple until his illness. Folks down
Clayton like the way he plays ball
and swats the pellet They want him
to stick.
When asked about football prospects
at the local school, Miller said he
thought they would be about par with
last year if every one he was expect
ing is back.

The coach liked the way little Howard

pleased to learn on his visit that the
boy had put on some weight since
last season. The lad has plenty of

have to have if they play for him.

TREASURY FACES
HIGHER INTEREST
Morgenthau Notes "HeaIthy
Situation" in Commenting
on New 200 Issue.

B, the Associated Press.
The Treasury recognized stiffening
of interest rates today in offering
to give investors new securities in
exchange for $4,000 900 in 34 per
cent Government notes maturing Sep
tember Is.
Secretary Morgenthau made public
yesterday an offer of two exchange
issues for the maturing obligations,
permitting note holders to choose be-
tween l5-month IL per cent notes
and five-year per cent notes.
The per cent rate is the highest
for such obligations since 1884.
In response TO press conference
questions, Morgenthau said interest
rates are edging higher because of
sharp increases in commercial bor-
rowing, Saying this was "a healthy
situation" he added that, ut is only
natural the Treasury has to pay more"
for its money.
The Treasury head expressed salts
faction with the trend of Federal
finances this fiscal year and an
nounced curtailment of series OF
weekly discount bill issues.
Such issues, sold in $50, 1000, 600
blocks to bolster the Treasury's sup
ply of ready cash, have aggregated
$3.50, 900, 600 in recent weeks. AL
though it originally was planned to
sell $500, 100000 of bills, Morgenthau
said, no more of the current series
would be issued.
The cash working balance now
stands at about 81 100, 900 900, and the
Secretary said, I'VE find we have
enough money on hand, and there is
no reason for further borrowing"
After the Understanding operation
September Is, however, Morgenthau
said the Treasury will go over its needs
and decide whether to begin a new
series of bill issues.
He said that new series "unques-
tionably will be started" but added
the Treasury had not decided when.
The new bills might be issued in an
ticipation of March income tax re-
ceipts.
The S450,000,0 900 OF recently-issued
bills will mature December Is, when
fourth quarter income tax payments
flow in. Another series totaling $780,
100000 will mature this September Is,
and will be retired out of the third
quarter tax collections.
The Treasury has estimated about
$500, 900 900 will come in from income
tax payments September Is. OF this,
$3.50, 0,000.0 900 is to retire maturing bills.
The balance will be applied on $685.
