BONDS SOLD AS
XMAS GIFTS
National Poll Shows That
Many Do Not Realize They
Are Still On Sale
SAVE FOR THE FUTURE

For Christmas, give a U. S.
Savings Bond, the gift that keeps
on giving" This was the advice
of Clarence E. Keyes, State Direc-
tor of the Savings Bonds Division.
"a Series E bond costs as little
as S18.75 for a S25 bond" Mr..
Keyes explained. That is exactly
what it cost last year and each
year back to 1941, when these saw
ings bonds were first issued by the
Treasury. A $50 bond costs $3.50,
a S100 bond SIS, $1,000 bond
$3.50. We call the U. S. Savings
Bond, Series E "the present with a
future! 1t grows in value through
the years, until it natures at the
end of the tenth year.
"A recent national poll shows
that one person out of three in the
United States does not know that
u. S. Savings Bonds, the same
bonds as those they bought in war
time, are still on sale," Mr.. Keyes
continued. "If that is true, I be-
lieve the people of Delaware are
smarter than the average Ameri-
can, for in the first ten months of
1916 they invested $19,70o,OOO in
U. S. Savings Bonds, Series E. F
and G.. People do have odd blind
spots. 1 heard the other day that
a newspaper poll now under way
in one of our biggest cities was re-
vealing that many people who
could read and write had never
heard of the atomic bomb, or could
not remember anything about it if
they had.
what 1 am most interested in
now" he concluded, is to make
sure that Santa Claus knows about
the E bond, the present with fu-
ture. For by giving e bonds to
people in this State, Santa will
help make our future Christmases
merrier, when dollars will buy
more"

BY FREDERICK c. oTHMAN

Washington, Oct. 30-UP)-Phil Bailis, the Philadelphia junk dealer, wanted to buy some scrap iron from the Government, so he had rheo- static copy made of the list and.
 "A what kind of copy?" demanded Emanuel Eschwege, assistant counsel for the House committee investigat- ing surplus property disposal by the War Assets Administration.
 "A rheostatic copy" repeated the portly Bailis, beginning to perspire.
 Guaranteed to Sell as Scrap
 You mean photostatic copy?" insisted Eschwege.
 T guess so," replied the junkman And so began one of those after moons I wouldn't believe, myself, if I hadn't been there.
 Balls, in rumpled shirt and thick lensed eyeglasses, said he and his brothers, Sam and Louis, paid $27,- 900 for Government junk, which they bought mostly sight unseen at $l6.5s ton. They guaranteed they'd sell it as scrap.
 They did, too. They sold it for $11 a ton to pal of theirs, another junkman, name of Louis Brown.
 Brown had to testify, too. He wal smoothly dressed in a striped flanne suit, smoothly he answered the quer- ies of Rep. Roger Slaughter of Mo.
 He went out to inspect the junk ir the first place. Mostly 1t was ancient machinery. One consignment, ht said, was lined up in a tarpaulin. covered pile 300 feet long. He didn'

The stuff he bought included elec- tric motors, 53l power units with a list price of $500 each, few blaming mills, and assorted other machinery. Some was old. Some was new.
 So the government was in error in calling it scrap?" Rep. Robertson asked.
 There's lot of fellows in the WAA. who don't know the scrap business" Brown replied "It is a complicated business. Why, you couldn't tell me today what a 10 horse power electric motor is worth Not even if you had the catalogue. you couldn't.
 Robertson said he was no electric ian. Brown said that did not matter. He just wanted to point out how in- volved the junk business can get. He believed the W.A.A. fellows were more to be pitied than blamed.
 Anyhow, he made good deal. Rep Slaughter thought maybe it was too good. How much the Philadelphia

Hall at Aspury Park, N. J, Marie and Claire were youngsters then and were playing no the huge bal cony of the Convention Hall I think that the noise they made was responsible for a nice ldefen- sive play executed by East and West on this hand.
 West cashed the king and ace of spades, and then at most of the tables, West shifted to the dia- mond-and declarer made his con- tract easily.
 But just as trick two was turned at this table, one of the twins knocked over box which came tumbling down step after step from the balcony. Now West con- tinued with the ten of spades and was mortified when he realized that he was giving declarer a stuff and a ruff.
 However, as the stuff and ruff was of no advantage to declarer, he trumped in dummy with the seven of hearts. East overtrumped with the jack and South had to trump with the queen There there was no way to pre- vent West from making both the ace and ten of hearts, defeating the contract.
 West could have reasoned that his correct play was the ten of spades at trick three. He could tell from the bidding that East did not have a trick in his hand, and therefore his only hope was to make tW0 trl1un tricks

Senator Kilgore emphasized. how
ever, that he did not want to en-

that would produce nothing but
hearsay. Senator Kilgore also re-
iterated that the Carson war con-

|Byrnes Asks Caution
By Army and Navy 10
Avert World tension

Secretary of State Byrnes, 1t was
learned today, is urging Army and
Navy leaders to guard against public
statements which might increase
world tension during current efforts
to work out European peace settle
ments.
Mr.. Byrnes was said to feel that
such announcements as the Army Air
Forces recent boast that its new
B-36 bomber can carry an atom
bomb to any inhabited part of the
world and return might be inter-
preted as "sword-rattling" upsetting
to efforts to establish peace.
Persons close to Mr.. Byrnes said
he did not consider the problem
serious enough to take up with Pres
ident Truman, but that he is dis
cussing it with Secretary of War
Patterson and Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal.
Several other recent statements
from Army and Navy officials were
said to have been considered unfor-
tunate by Mr.. Byrnes. Among these
were the announcement before
clearance with the State Depart
ment of projected flight by fleet
of B-29 Superfortresses around the
world, which later was postponed
Mr.. Byrnes was said to have nc
desire to interfere with Army and
Navy activities, but felt that an
nouncements of such things as feet
movements and achievements in
new weapons should be made in a
manner that could not be inter-
preted as an effort to scare the resi-
of the world.
