U. 5. Savings Bonds;
Now May Be Held
Additional 10 Years

Maturing Series E Savings
Bonds now may run 10 years or
more longer at the current rate
of interest.
This is permitted under legisla-
ton signed yesterday by President
Truman, who commented that the
new privilege makes the bonds
even more attractive"
The President added that the
securities offer even the smallest
savers "the opportunity of pro-
|viding for their own future Sc
curity. and at the same time be-
coming direct stockholders in their
Government"
He cited personal savings as an
effective weapon against imitation.
Interest Stepped Up.
Mr.. Truman'S action is expected
to be a strong inducement to Series
E Bond holders to refrain from
Icashing them in on maturity.
The new law provides for simple
interest at the rate of 212 per
cent each year for the first seven
and a half years after maturity
and for interest compounded semi
annually at 212 per cent for the
final two and half years.
1t was explained that after a
Imatured bond had been held the
additional seven and half years
the interest rate is stepped up to
provide a yield of 20 per cent
compound interest. that is if the
bond is held for a full 10 years
beyond maturity.
Interest on Interest.
The 2.9 per cent rate is the
same as is paid on a new bond
which is held for 10 years.
A person, therefore, would come
out the same with regard to inter-
est for new bond held 10 years,
or an old bond held an extra 10
years. getting 81 for every So in
vested.
The interest on an old bond
would draw interest, during the. ex-
tended 10 years, however. Thus,
s75 invested in 194l would be
worth $100 this year and Si33.33

United States can defend it's

"a ground war with Russia in Eu-
gope.
Will Seek Force of Law.
s Meanwhile. Senator Watkins,
Republican, of Utah announced
yhe will move to send the issue
back to committee, probably
Monday. His motion will seek to
anstruct the committee to bring
out instead a bill or joint reso-
luton. which would have the
force of law. The two pending
resolutions are merely recon-
lamentations to the President, and
would not compel him to seek
congressional approval Of future
troop commitments.

Missouri asked Mr. Lodge if he
Advocates an invasion of. Russia
by American troops.
NO replied Senator Lodge,
that would be the height of folly" /"
Then do you advocate de-
fensive war in Europe?" Senator
KEN continued.
Senator Lodge denied that the
alternative facing the North At
lantic treaty nations is to hold a
defensive line in Western Europe
or to attack Russia He contend
ed that by being ready to meet an
attack on Western Europe the free
nations could regain the initia-
tive in the struggle to maintain
peace and eventually bring about
disarmament
French Progress Defended.
The Massachusetts, Republican
also defended the progress France
is making to become a strong
partner in the treaty.
Although the debate was re-
,sumed today, the Senate has
lagreed not to start voting on the
1.-TWO pending resolutions regarding
troops for Europe until Monday.
E Once the troop issue is out of
the way, the Foreign Relations
Committees of both houses will
have to begin work on a new
authorization for military equip
ment for Western Europe and
other free nations cooperating in
the effort to prevent Communist
aggression. Military aid for Latin
America is expected to be con-
sidered also this year.
Secretary of State Acheson is
frying at the current Inter-Ameri-
can Conference of Foreign Minis
ters for an agreement under which
Latin American nations will bear
a larger share of the hemisphere
defense burden.
This is certain to bring pleas for

Senator Gillette, Democrat, of

anime any such request carefully
He said Latin-American coun-
tries will have to show not only a
need for arms but will have to in
