DC. War Bond Repor1
To Be Given Oct. 18;
u. ). Total II Billion
OfficioIs Here Stress
Need for Continued
individual Buying

Although Washington has secured
its S94 0000 900 Third War Loan quota,
the need for further unprecedented
bond sales still exists, If we are to
support the sacrifice of our fighting
forces" Chairman John A. Reilly of
the District War Finance Committee
said today.
At the same time, Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau said every
State in the Union apparently over
subscribed its quota. Individual pur-
chases, primary goal of the drive,
also exceeded the national ceiling set
for them, he said. The war loan
total today stood close to Sl7,000,-
900 900. two billions more than the
goal set
Chairman Reilly announced that
since the sale of Series E. F and G.
bonds cleared through the Richmond
Federal Reserve Bank through Octo-
ber is will be included in the final
tally. no further progress reports on
the District will be forthcoming until
the Treasury Department makes
known the campaign results, prob
ably on october 49,
Partial Text of Statement.
Chairman Reilly's statement fol-
lows in, part:
L wish to thank the committees
and thousands of volunteer bond
workers who gave so unstintingly of
their time and effort during the
drive.
1T is they who deserve the credit
for the success Of the campaign. 1t
is they who will continue to lead
the District bond effort. for although
the Third War Loan has passed its
original quota, the need for further
unprecedented bond sales still exists,
If we are to support the sacrifices
OF our fighting forces.
Purchases by individuals in
Washington have not reached the
goal set for our citizens. We are
confident, however, that with the
continued all-out efforts of our
volunteers, millions of such pur-
chases will be added to our total in
the final tabulation of sales"
Mrs. Nichols Praises Effort.
Mr.. Reilly's views were echoed by
Mrs. Howard G. Nichols, chairman
of the Women's Division.
I'VE must not let up even now,
though the drive is officially over"
she told her committee chairmen.
We must sell more bonds to indi-
viduals."
Special War bond shows. STARS at
Midnight" are to be presented at
11:45 o'clock tonight at both the

pearance of the two survivors Of the

1t was announced at the OPA

Presumably, Public Relations

the outfit the bureau represents. At

not the industry soon gets itself a

But, as 1t has been observed be-

in a somewhat different manner.

There are three feminine clerks

they have apparently little oppor-

An amiable lieutenant, who had

On repeating our telephone re-
