More than 10000. Washing

500 E Bond this week to put the
tagging Mighty Seventh" War Loan
E Bond quota over its $48, 900 900
goal by scheduled close of the drive
Saturday, loan officials announced
today.
Wilmer j. Waller, drive chair
man. said the E Bond situation is
serious" and asked the $4,000 vol
unteer bond statesmen to go after
every possible prospect" About
$l3,50o, 900 of the E Bond quota is
still lacking, he said, and sale Of
about 10000 bonds at a purchase
price Of SIS is necessary to supply
the deficit.
TT Is certainly within the realm
OF possibility that 10000 indi-
viduals In the District can afford
the extra 500 bond when the coun-
try needs it as it now does" Mr..
Waller said. This figure represents
about one-third of the gainfully
employed persons in the District.
This third is in the upper income
brackets where the purchase of an
extra bond in many cases would
not be hardship"
Sales Total s193, ,400, 900.
The drive as q whole now stands
at $193, ,400. .000-17l.2 per cent of the
$l13 900 900 District quota. E Bond
sales, however, have, reached only
69.8 per cent OF the $48, 900 600 E
quota. Mr.. Waller emphasized that
the heavy oversubscription OF the
total quota was due to corporation
bond purchases. Until the E Bond
quota Is met, he said loan officials
will consider that the Washington
public did not support the Mighty
Seventh" Fundamentally.
Nationally, officials expressed SIM
liar concern over the slow accum-
ulation of little money" The ma
tional E Bond quota of $4,000, ,o0O,- :
600 Is still 28 per cent short of COM
pletion, although the total drive of
$l4 ,00o, ,000, 900 has now been over

Meanwhile, 1t. Gen. Eugene Rey-

added a plea for success of the E
Bond quotas Nationwide.

"The soldiers view of the Mighty
Seventh" he said, "is based on one
thing-will its success help to shorten
the war? The answer is yes and
that's why we are cheered by every
bit of news about how the drive
is going. especially in the E bond
bracket"
More than 1000 E bonds of vary
ing denominations have been sold
to Washingtonians for admission TO
the Nazi submarine, the U-505, Mr..
Waller announced. The submarine
