Bond Interest Rates
Increase as Result Of
Many New Offerings
By Arthur Merims
Associated Press Finoneiol Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE au-

grade bonds became more evident
this week.
Industrials and utilities led the
corporate bond market lower. And
though United States Govern

new financing ventures cost the
borrowers interest rates un-

10 industrial bonds declined four

1915, a new 1852 low. Utility and
railroad averages also dipped,
though a number of carriers went
against the tide.
Treasury bonds climbed frac-
tionally, but in extremely thin
over-the-counter trading. Pur-
chase of one million dollars worth
of distantly maturing obligations
pushed the list up several thirty
seconds one time.
The bellweather of the inter-
mediates, the 23ss of 1858, rose

situation" and its effect on in
terest rates. The International
Bank for Reconstruction and
Development came to a market
with $50 million of new 19-year
bonds. A Nationwide under

public at 98 to yield 3.65 per cent

Borgoin-Rote Travel

The old saying that the world is becoming
smaller and smaller received some indirect sup
port last week when eleven airline members of
the international Air Transport Association
initiated low-fare tourist-class service on their
transatlantic routes.
Starting with 80 round trips weekly, the lines
will step up the service during the early summer
to II such flights each seven days. At that point,
5000 seats will be available and heavy advance
bookings indicate that the passenger total will
double the record breaking figure of $4,000 in
1851. The New York-London fare will be $486
for the round trip, as compared to $711 for de
luxe service.
An interesting check by one line on its ad-
vance tourist reservations revealed quick accept
ance of the new rates by lower-income groups,
people who might otherwise not be able to afford
either the cost or the time of trip abroad.
The bulk of these reservations is held by skilled
workers, farmers, statesmen and persons earning
under $1,000 yearly. While it may be stretching
the significance of this type Of travel bit, it is
easy to believe that a substantial increase in
tourism contributes to enlightenment and educa-
tion-a not inconsequential gain for the world
today.

where there are many bramblebushes.
where little stream wanders along

BY some alchemy of life, the wood
thrush forgot his fear. or let us say his
preference.
He decided that there was something
to be gained by coming to town.
When the thrush decided in our
favor. he gave himself, for the first time
in his life. taste Of raisins.
These are favorite foods Of the bird.

Now that the thrush was here. when
would the catbird come? And it was
April 26.
This is quiet prince of American
birdland. 1t flies in with scarcely a
ripple of the leaves but always with it's
meowing note.
It is too bad that this fine bird has
to make his own way. in the estimation
of many homeowners. The robin
doesn't-he Immediately makes friends.
The beautiful wood thrush never lacks
for admirers. But the princely catbird

It doesn't mean that one has blanket

At exactly 3:45 o'clock on the after
noon of April "a the first notes of the
wood thrush sounded through our neigh
borhood.
These sounds are more eagerly waited
out our way than those from the
greatest orchestra in the land.
No musician, whatever his name and
fame, no pampered leader, gets such at
tention from the home folks, the gar
denerS, the Stay-at-homes.
Usually the thrush is first heard on
factors. including the songster himself.
He is seldom seen, but those first
notes Of his famous clear song strike
into the very hearts and minds of his
audience.
The wood thrush hangs onto his
name. indicating that he has something
to do with forests.
Actually. he is as much at home
around human dwellings as his cousin,
the robin.
Really he is more at home. We have
seen thruShes barely get out Of the way
of a lawn mower.
While moving was going on, one wood
thrush poked around beneath some
rhododendrons. not 3 feet from the

French song had, it but actually it is
too good to be true.
Often liking the birds is progression,
a growth, and this, too, is a good thing.
Not every one overfiows with love. Love
is wildbird, Bizet told us in his great
opera of Carmen" But love is snow
ball, growing with each day. 1t is i'm
possible for some persons to even

like the animal, the cat, therefore
and what an absurd therefore! They
do not like the catbird.
In time, however, If they really study
the bird with open heart and mind and
eyes. they come to see that here is q
species which embodies some Of the
best traits Of American birds. They
realize at last that while one may have
to apologize for the grackle, now and
then, or even the bold blue jay, he never
has to be ashamed of the princeIy cat.

Happy was April, therefore, that
brought us two such fine creatures, the
wood thrush and the catbird. Addition
to the ranks of the common wrens was
bonus for the home bird watcher.
It is only at home that one really
enjoys Jenny wren and her mate and
the wren children. Other birds may
look fine down by the river bank but not

The Oil Strike

Fast-moving and dramatic developments in
the steel row have pushed the oil strike into the
background But If the strike continues it will
not be long until it commands a great deal of
attention.
Some 10000 workers, belonging to % unions,
left their jobs last week. Oil production has
been cut by about IS per cent The Government
has ordered sharp cutback on civilian use of
aviation gasoline. Scattered shortages of gasoline
for motoring have developed. The Air Force is
restricting military flying except in the Korean
theater. And there is threat that California
rehneries, heretofore excluded from the strike
because they produce oil products for the Korean
war, may be closed down in the near future.
Once again, money is the issue. The oil
workers, well up the wage ladder with hourly
scales running from 81 to $2.l2, want IS cents
an hour more, plus substantial shift differential
increases. The wage request now has been
lowered to 1874 cents. The companies have
offered the differential boosts plus an hourly
wage increase of approximately 10 cents. In
early March the President sent the dispute to
the Wage Sterilization Board, but that agency,
after hearings, returned the matter to the
parties for further bargaining. The strike fol-
lowed some two weeks later.
AS yet, the consequences hardly add up to .
national emergency. But an emergency will not
be long in taking shape If the strike is allowed
to drag on. If the President steps in, as he
presumably will have to do unless there is an
