BANKS OFFERED
'BOUNTIES' ON
LOANS TO U. S.
800 Millions in Gold
Added to Currency
By CECIL B. DICKSON


QN.S0. A bounty" to banks
lending the Government short
term money will be instituted by
the Treasury beginning September
%, Secretary Morgenthau dis
closed today.
AS a further move to push adj
ditional currency into the nations
monetary streams, Morgenthau
has authorized a charge account
system of borrowing which per-
mits banks to keep on deposit
money loaned to the Government
at various interest rates.
STUDY Is MADE
This system will be followed
until a study being conducted by
Treasury experts on what type OF
securities the Treasury can best
issue for new money borrowing is
finished.
Morgenthau discussed the plan
in announcing hat $500, 900, 600 in
"unfrozen" gold is being poured
into the monetary arteries. This
process will be completed by early
October, he said.
The gold was taken from the
Treasury's sterilization fund
amounting to 1892 900, 000-and
shifted to the ready cash account
to be spent for Government ex-
penditures and retirement of out
standing obligations.
AS a part of the Federal Reserve
Boards and the Treasury'S pro
gram to relax the present tight
money condition, it is planned
that the $300,0OO,0OO will remain
outside the Treasury.
WILL PAY BILLS
To keep it out, the Treasury
will pay off in cash 500, 100000
in bills maturing September %
and 90, meet additional necessary
cash outlays, and borrow money
on the new bounty bearing charge
accounts"
This is designed to increase
available credit in Federal Reserve
banks to more than one billion
dollars, to meet expected COM
mercial credit needs and at the
same time to avoid the payment
by the government of higher in
terest rates on new borrowings.
Morgenthau disclosed the opera
ton of taking the 100000, 900 out
of the inactive gold fund i'm
proved the position Of the
Treasury. It will give it the largest
cash balance since funds were
supplied for paying the soldiers
bonus.
CUT NATIONAL DEBT
Coupled with $5OO,O00,OoO ex.
pected in September is income
tax installment collections, the
added funds will make it possible
for Morgenthau to reduce tenn
porarily the national debt now at
$37,212 100000.
With the funds Morgenthau
plans to pay off in cash Septem-
Der is, $3.50, 100000 in maturing
bills and $16S, 100000 in interest
on the public debt.
September is operations also
provide for refunding of $817 ,0OO,'
600 in 3A per cent notes, for 2
per cent Swear and ~ per cent
15.month notes. This operation
has been assured of success. Hold
ers of nearly 95 per cent Of the
maturing notes have taken ad'
vantage of the exchange privilege
Commercial borrowings IF o m
banks have increased more than
a billion dollars in the last year.
and indications are that demands
for credit this fall will establish
a new post-depression record.

FRED THINNING STEALS GLORY
 BY THREE PINS

Opening the Ringers meeting at the Elks' last night, w. $. Pullen started off the rolling with a l99, followed by 211 and POT for a to- tai of GIT pins, performance that should by all that is proper have resulted in the honors of the even- ing being conceded to him forth with. But, twas not so ordained.
 For, even though MT. Pullen's marks were sufficient to turn the tide of battle toward his Armadillo team, with the result that a two out of three game victory was scored by them over the Alligators, his really excellent efforts, brought him no more than silver medals, for Fred Henning and Herb Retiman came along to spoil MT. Pullen's night.
 Not at all daunted by the 617 chalked up on the wall, Henning went about the business of bettering that mark, and when he had fin ished his third game had corraled a total of 620 that included likely looking 234 game. And, as a side issue, Jennings score gave the Treetoads enough edge over the 590 rolled by Frank Metcalf, lone stall wart of the Badger forces, that the match was credited to the Tree toads by the odd game edge.
 Though Fred Henning's total was to withstand the assaults of suc- ceeding rollers, that secure appear ing 234 game was to prove not so impregnable, meeting it's match from the arm of Herb Redman in the final match, as MT Redman piled up 586 count, the fourth high score of the night.
 And to that 234 game of MT. Red mans must be laid the glory of swinging the day to him and his Unicorn mates, in the deciding game of their match with the Cro- codileS.
 With tonight being set aside for the gathering of the Elks' clan in the council chambers, the Purple alleys will once again catch a breathing spell, before submitting to their Rookie assailants tomorrow evening.
