.S500,000,00o Issue
OF Defense Notes
To Pay ! Of 1%
Interest Is Same Paid
Lost Spring Despite Tax;
To Mature in Five Years
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Treasury announced last
night that a $500, 100000 issue Of
national defense notes" going on
sale tomorrow would bear interest
Of "a of l per cent and would mature
in five years.
In line with Secretary Morgen-
thau's announcement that tax
exempt bonds are Stacker money"
the notes will be subject to all Fed
eral taxes for the first time in Treas
ury history. but will be exempt from
State and local taxation.
This exemption clause was be-
lieved to be an attempt by the Treas
ury to persuade States and localities
to fall in line and remove tax ex-
emptions from future issues of their
own securities.
There had been much speculation
in advance concerning the interest
the 100000 900 new Treasury issue
would bear, in view Of a feeling in
some quarters that the Government
would have to pay higher interest If
1t removed tax exemptions from its
securities.
The rate announced today turned
out to be the same as the figure be-
ing paid on an issue of the same
maturity sold last spring.
