Some Rails Favored;
Governments Steady
BY Arthur Merims
Assoeiaisd Press Fincncicl Wriser

NEW YORK. Aug. l4.-The
bond market inched forward
this week. apparently consolidat-
ing its position.
Medium-grade railroads gen-
orally found favor. But invest
ment quality carriers, utilities
and industrials did not change
much in price though the trad
ing pace was brisk at times.
Government bonds, too. were
unchanged to nominally higher.
The 30-year 3Hs rose n at
1l1A bid. The 21Ss Of 1861
ended the week unchanged ct
102 l/16 bid while the 1Zas Of
1859 rose 3/32 at 100 1882 bid.
Foreign liens were fairly quiet.
German and Greek issues drifted
downward while italian and
japanese bonds improved slight
". Costa Rican bonds also were
In limited demand.
The Treasury reports heavy
demand for its "E" and .H"
savings bonds. July sales were
s per cent above those Of the
same month q year ago and
the best for q July In nine years.
For the first seven months Of
1864 nearly So billion of new
savings bonds were purchased,
most for any similar period since
1945. Currently, there are
more than $37.5 billion Of these
bonds outstanding, an all-time
record.
Corporate financing is below
the 1858 record pace. The Sc
curities a. Exchange Commis-
sion said corporations marketed
8 per cent fewer stock and bond
issues during the second quarter
than q year ago. But the total
was 80 per cent above the first
three months Of 1854. About
$4.3 billion Of new securities
were sold during the first half.

Bethesda Association
Votes Merger With
Perpetual Building
By DonoId B. HodIey

Members Of the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Federal Savings and
Loan Association have approved
a merger with Perpetual Build
ing Association by big majority,
President j. Horace Smithey an
nounced this morning.
At a meeting yesterday 23,130
votes were cast for the merger,
compared with only 7 opposed,
he said.
The merger. which will add
$8.5 million of assets to Perpetual
Building Association and raise its
total to $182 million, now must
be approved by Federal Home
Loan Bank officials. Perpetual
members already have approved.
Under terms of the merger, Mr..
Smithey will become vice presi-
dent of Perpetual and manager
of the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Branch Office, while his associate,
G. Wayne Bishop, secretary of
Bethesda Chevy Chase, will be-
come assistant secretary of Per-
petual and assistant manager of
the branch.
Bethesda Chevy Chase direc-
tors will become the advisory
board of the Perpetual Bethesda
Office.
Perpetual has ranked as the
largest savings and loan insti-
tuition in the Nation for many
years but has been crowded in
the leadership race recently by
a Los Angeles association. The
merger will widen its lead sub
Stantially.
