TRUMAN SIGNS
LEAVE BOND Bill
Urges Veterans Not To
Cash Them Now Un-
less Urgent

WASHINGTON, July 26.-(P-
President Truman signed a bill to-
day allowing war veterans holding
terminal leave bonds to cash them
any time after Sept. l but advised
them not to do it.
IT wish to emphasize strongly
that it is TO the veterans best in
terest that they keep their bonds il
they do not absolutely need tc
cash them now" his statement
said.
almost 81, 900, 900, 900 of bonds
are outstanding. If a stable pro-
portion of these bonds should be
redeemed in the near future gen.
eral in%flationary pressures, which
We have been endeavoring to con-
troll, would receive a substantial
boost. Several hundred million dol
lars poured into the spending
stream would exert a strong up
ward pressure on prices.
"If, on the other hand, veterans
choose the wise course, hold their
bonds and continue to draw 2 IL
per cent interest, their dollars will
buy more when they cash their
bonds after inflationary conditions
have eased." q

With this money the Army engi-

work of widening the channel from

Also in the bill was $85, 288 for

NEW TAX RATE
EXPECTED MONDAY
Board OF Commissioners
Meeting To Set
Budget

New Hanover ccunty's 1947-48
tax rate is expected to be set
oEd the budget for the current
fiscal year tentatively adopted TO-
morrow morning at the weekly
meeting of the board of comm.s-
sioners.
Other than the fact that the new
rate will be increased over the
cid 60-cent rate, the new tax levy
was a matter of pure speculation
yesterday after the board heid =
special session aid failed to set
q definite rate.
Two things Were clear one was
the board was gong to add five
cents to the old levy authorized
by a special election for opera
ton of Wilmington college and de-
fer until needed another five cent
levy approved FOR a tuberculosis
canitarium not yet under way.
The other was the proposed in-
crease of almost 5000 0 in the
school budget to provide S25, 40

The President signed into law
the bill Congress finally gave him
after two years of urging and is
sued an executive order assigning
the functions and responsibilities
Of the three co-equal branches
the departments of the Amy,
Navy and Air Force.
So eager was Mr.. Truman to
get the thing done that he delayed
his departure for his dying
mothers bedside for II minutes in
order to sign the legislation
aboard his plane here. Even with
out that delay, however, he
would not have reached Grand
view, Mo-, before his mothers
death.
One reason for the haste was 50
that the Senate might confirm
Forrestal's nomination to the new
cabinet post before its adjourn
ment.
Chairman Quincy CR-SD) of tee
Senate Armed Services committee
took steps to win speedy confi"ma-
ton after his committee unani-
mously approved Forrestal. But
in any case Forrestal could serve
under a recess appointment until
the next session of Congress.
The ~pugnacious, square-jawed
Forrestal, as secretary Of the
Navy, was the last member of the
late President R%oosevelt's cabinet
still in office. His selection as sec
rotary of defense had been gen
orally expected.
While the law and the executive
order are effective Immediately,
officials said extensiv conferences
among the Army, Navy and Air
departments will be necessary be-
fore the program can be trar/lated
into terms of offices, functions
