Several U. 5. Bonds
Reach A||-Time Lows;
|Corporates Steady
By Arthur Merims
Associoted Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Several
long-term Government bonds
plunged to all-time lows this week,
while the corporate bond market
struggled in vain to hold a steady
course.
It was evident from Monday on
that people were buying Christmas
presents this week, not debt Sc
curities. For the fifth straight
week the Treasury sold more than
Isl billion worth of it's shortest
term security, 91-day bills. at the
highest net interest cost (2.228
per cent? in two decades.
Banks and corporations that
have spare cash they want to put
to work for a brief period are the
usual purchasers of Treasury bills.
Clearly, there was little spare cash
in the United States this week.
Long-term Government bonds
had been resisting the softness in
the market for short-term securi-
ties for several weeks because
financial opinion held that the
current money shortage was
strictly seasonal. This week the
suspicion that favorable business
conditions might cause the tight
money situation to hang on after
the first Of the year caused dis.
family maturing Treasury bonds
to slip.
Foreign liens were fairly steady
The first interest payments or
Japanese dollar bonds since Pear
Harbor were available this week
However. Bank of Japan's local
branch reported no rush to cash
in the long-overdue coupons.

July. compared with $123,3O in
the previous month and $6,147 in
July. 1851, when earnings were cut
sharply by three-day strike.
For seven months this year. net

Agents Recover Key
Believed That Used
In Brink 5 Robbery

The key which former Brink's
Inc, guard is believed to have usec
in a SOS, 900 theft has been re.
covered by the Federal Bureau oi
Investigation.
Ray Eugene Farmer, 26, who
confessed the daylight robbery Of
an armored car, had told police
that he threw away the key some
where on Massachusetts, avenue
NV.
But FBI agents located it on the
parking lot of the Holmes Bakery
lot F street NV, where Farmer
was employed.
Farmer said he had the key
duplicated at 10 cent store while
employed by Drinks three years
ago.
Both the FBI and Metropolitan
police still are investigating every
angle Of the Monday noon theft
at the rear Of the Wardman Park
Hotel.
The FBI has refused to discuss
the possibility that other arrests
may follow, or whether the case
could be connected with the 81
million-plus robbery of Brink's
office at Boston two years ago.
Yesterday police photographed
a Drinks armored truck in the
exact location that it was left
Monday while four guards were
having lunch. The pictures will
be placed in evidence during the
trial Of Farmer, who is held on
two counts of bank robbery and
grand larceny.
