Interest Is
Raised For
Bondllolders
Changes viii Not
Affect &c" Bonds
Already Sold;
Changes Popular

WASHINGTON @ - The Treas
ury today revamped its entire null
ti-billion dollar savings bond pro-
gram, raising interest rates all
along the line.
Sale of two Of the current series
of savings honds--F and G bonds
win be discontinued effective
Thursday. But three new types of
beads will be offered.
The familiar Series sc" defense
bcnds--the type held by most in
dividuals-will be continued.
But interest rates for the full
period of the bond viii be raised
from 20 per cent to per cent.
And buyers will get a much big
ger increase in interest rates over
the first few years they hold the
bond.
The changes will not affect sc"
bonds already sold unless the bond
holder wants to keep his bond aft
er 1t natures. In that case, he
win get the new interest rate of
3 per cent.
Secretary Of the Treasury Sny-
der sais the many changes are
designed to improve the bond pro-
gram ..in keeping with the times"
apparently reference to in
creased commercial interest rates.
Snyder said q sampling Of opin-
ion has indicated the changes
will be very popular
The biggest innovation win be
issuance Of an III" bond to Be
sold, like the .tE" bond, only to
individuals.
The e. bond Is bought AZ q
fixed price, amounting to three
fourths Of its face value. A SIS
bond, for instance, costs STATS and
natures 10 years later at SIS val
ue.
The "H" bond. however. will pay
off in checks to be delivered to
The hondholder twice a year. II
will be sold at par--and win ma
ture at par - and the smallest de-
nomination viii be a $500 bond.
The Treasury said III" bonds
of lesser amount would not be
practical because Of the expense
Of handling semi-annual interest
payments.
The 'H'' bonds interest rate viii

F.. BY the Asseeiaied Pres.

Senator Morse today began
began drafting a speech for the
American Federation of Labor
national convention which may
point up a major difference be-
tween him and Gen. Eisenhower.
The Oregon Republican told
newsmen he would not complete
the text of his address until after
he read Gen. Eisenhower's speech
before the convention in New York
tomorrow. Seneator Morse's talk
is set for Thursday.
Senator Morse has announced
he is highly dissatisfied with the
turn the generals campaign has
taken recently, particularly with
the hearty reception to Senator
Taft of Ohio.
Senator Morse says that as
matters now stand he will vote for
Gen. Eisenhower and believes the
g. o. p. nominee will win the
election, but that he plans no ac-
tive campaign for him.
Stassen Sees Morse.
The Senator had q chance yes
terday to read the text of Essen
hower's AFL speech but turned it
down. This came when Harold E.
Stassen, one of the Republican
nominees advisers. visited him
here.
Senator Morse told reporters he
declined to look at the speech or
discuss its contents because he had
just received his own invitation to
address the AFL.
: However. the Senator said he
told Mr.. Stassen plainly he did
not like the views expressed by
Senator Taft after a meeting with
Gen. Eisenhower last Friday. The
Ohio Senator said the general
favored the basic principles of the
Taft-Hartley law with some
changes which Senator Taft said
ne hlmSe1 suggested.
Favors Taft Act Redrafting.
Senator Morse favors a drastic
rewriting of this act. Mr.. Steven
son has come out for Taft Hartley
repeal followed by a fresh start or
a labor management relations law
a position Senator Morse said was
sound"

with the Republican campaign.

The House probers want to
know whether the Justice Depart
ment handled the often-investi-I

the FBI was given a free rein to
investigate it. ~-s -..
The case grew out of a Demo-
cratic primary race for Congress
between Enos Axtell, who was
backed by President Truman, and

will be in connection with charges
that the department failed to CO.
