The House-passed bin would al
low o000, 600 veterans to begin CASH
ing their 5-year, non-negotfable
bonds, plus accumulated interest, be-
ginning September 2. It would al
low them to hold the bonds for the
full five-year period to collect az
per cent interest II they choose. Az
erage face value of the bonds is
$214. Officials estimate there is ST.
800, ,000, 900 in bonds outstanding, and
that up to 100000 more veterans
may still be eligible for the payment.
Senator Baldwin also pointed out
that the House-approved bill had
collaboration of the Treasury De-
partment in drawing up machinery
for cashing the bonds.
This was borne out at the subcom-
mittee hearing yesterday by Edward
F.. Bartlett, assistant secretary Of the
Treasury, who endorsed the measure,
introduced by Representative Black
ney, Republican, Of Michigan, as
"an extremely workable plan"
Mr.. Bartlett, however, added token
opposition on behean of the Treas
ury Department, charging that
cashing bonds now would be infla-
tionary.
Sees Pressure on Prices.
Challenged on that point by SEN
ator Maybank, Democrat, of South
Carolina, who contended the Gov
ernment would save money it other
wise would have to pay in interest
by cashing the bonds now, MIR. Bar
telt declared: :.
TT is indisputable that putting
billion or a billion and half
dollars into the public spending
stream now would exert a decided
pressure on prices"
Stating the bonds also provide
former enlisted men with a NEST
egg," he explained 1t Is the Treas
ury's policy to try to get "as much
as possible Of the debt out Of the
Nations banks and into the hands Of
the people"
Cashing the bonds, he said, "obvi-
ously will mean taking segment OF
the debt out of the hands Of the
people and putting it into the hands
of the banks"
Can Set Up Machinery.
Mr.. Bartlett said his department
feels, however, that 1t will be able
to set up machinery for cashins
bonds at authorized banks through
out the country by September 3
If Congress sees fit to authorize
cash payments by that date.
Strong support for the House
passed bill also was registered al

CLOTHING STYLES IMPORTANT
IN MAKING HOUSEWORK SAFE

Are you working in comfort ana
safety around your house?
If not, it may be the fault OF the
clothing you are wearing, say
homemaking experts of the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice.
For example, they point out that
dresses with buttons that don't lie
fiat may be caught in almost any
thing as the homemaker goes ABOUT
her duties in the house or garden
Freedom of movement is essential
if the work is to be successfully anO
efficiently handled.
Ties and sashes have often been
caught in washing machine wiring
ers or mixmasters, and the number
of accidents caused in this way is
surprising. The wise hOmemakel
gets rid of frills when she is can
ming or doing any of the jobs abou
the home.
Although skirt styles ARE get
ting longer, the specialists say tina
women should watch the length ant
width of the skirt they wear while
working around the house. Whel
STOPPING, women can easily catcl
! heels on the full skirt that drop
about the feet and dive head-on int
a peice of furniture.
Don't neglect the sleeves whel
choosing house dresses. Freedom o
arm movement gives more speed
and wing extensions or similar de
vices should be included in the well
made garment.

WASHINGTON. (P) -- Attorney General Clark yesterday ordered an investigation of food, clothing and housing prices.
 He instructed the justice de partmentS antitrust division to determine whether "conspiracies" exist "to maintain or to increase present prices in the food, cloth ing and housing fields"

High Burmese Leaders Suffer In Poison Plt

ABINGDON BURMA, (P)-An- attempt to poison high ranking of ficerS of the Peoples Volunteer organization, militant private army" of the anti-Fascist peoples freedom league, was made last night during a dinner party, off cialS said today.
 Shortly after the dinner II off cerS collapsed and were rushed to the hospital, where seven were detained for further treatment.
 The anti-Fascist peoples free dom league is the dominant politi- cal movement in Burma, currently drafting its constitution to become a sovereign republic. U Aung San and six cabinet members, leaders of the interim government, were assassinated last month.
 Among those poisoned were Bo Tun Lin, political and private sec retary to Thakin Nu, who suc- ceeded Aung San as premier.
 Hospital attendants said all those treated were recovering and were expected to leave their wards today.
 Shortly after midnight, uniden- tified persons in a jeep fired auto matic weapons at armed Burmese police guarding the Burma secre- tariat at Jubilee Hall and at the residence of Aung San. No casual ty was reported
