OLD MONEY

Where oh where does my
money CO." is the complaint of
many a person. When your dol
lar bill reaches a ripe old age, it
follows the way of all old cash
to a fiery destruction. On its
way from a commercial to a Fed
eral Reserve Bank, it is sorted
out and given over to machine
which punches four death-dealing
strategically placed holes. If it
is a silver certificate or a United
States note it is then placed on
a contraption resembling a saus-
age grinder and. shredded to bits.
1t is then burned. If it is a Fed
eral Reserve note it is cut in two
halves lengthwise, with the
halves shipped to Washington in
separate shipments. There, after
being verified, the halves, which
are of less value than waste
paper, are destroyed. Old coins
are returned to the United States
MINIS where the metals are again
used.
Each year currency worth
more than seven billion dollars
is destroyed. Coins by the mil
lions are withdrawn from circula-
ton.
BANKING HOURS
F.B.C. asks: Are banking hours
set or regulated by the Federal
Government?
ANSWER
No. It's up to the bank which
is usually guided by custom in
the area.
INSURED FOR $4,000
Mr.. D. writes: If l pay an extra
fee can 1 have my bank account
insured for more than $4,000
under the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation?
ANSWER
Definitely no. There is no pro-
vision for insurance in excess of
$4,000 for any deposit.
WHY SERVICE CHARGE
Mrs. N. Y. asks: Why are there
service charges on checking ac-
counts and none on savings &C.
counts?
ANSWER
Savings are available to the
bank for a period of time during
which the bank has use of the
money and may realize a profit.
This is generally not true of
checking accounts. Also there is
an enormous amount of handling
to be done in a checking account.

1t may be that many of you
are like 1 was in this respect.
We saw the word, Vodka, here
and there but we gave 1t little
thought until the incident at
Paris Island where six Marine
recruits lost their lives because
of it.
-. Let me tell you that it is
a drink that is skyrocketing in
popularity and quantity. In
1854, 100000 gallons went on
the market ~. The official fig
ures for the fiscal year of 1856
are 10,163,653 gallons.
Arise all we people who op-
pose the liquor traffic, grid on
your armor and work and ere
too long we shall be free from
a great evil which can cause a
person to break each one of
Gods 10 Commandments.

however, that 1T would not be
wise for the United States to be
tied down to a fixed percentage

That revolt was not in vain,
he declared. because the Hun

Without going into detail. Mr.
Nixon also said special American
economic aid for Austria to help

He also suggested some Gov

Milton Eisenhower
Hits Federal Aid to
Private Schools

DR.. Milton S. Eisenhower re-
Ipeated his disapproval of excess
Isive Federal aid to private schools
last night in a speech before
alumni of Johns Hopkins Uni
Iversity here.
DR.. Eisenhower, who became
head of the Baltimore school last
fall, told Washington area
alumni at a Mayflower Hotel
dinner meeting he is 100 per
cent opposed to the use of Fed
.eral funds for any general oper-
ating expenses of any private
institution"
He said State and local officials
who distribute Federal funds are
tempted to impose controls on
colleges and universities.
The Presidents brother care
fully drew a distinction between
funds for operating expenses and
Federal grants for research prof.
ects-of which his university has
a Stable share. He said such
grants. used to promote national
aims. are justified.
DR.. Eisenhower recently be-
came chairman OF a 15-menber
Commission on Public Controls
and Higher Education. set up by
the Ford Foundation.

that tomorrow,s negotiations for

emanate."

mergers and acquisitions in 1855
reached a 25-year peak of 846
and that in calendar 1856 a new
quarter century record was
established by 900 comparatively

Senator Smathers said the
business failure rates continue
to rise at an alarming pace.
He said he is convinced that

Beck Intimates
Union Vetoed
81 Million Plan
Ry the Associated Press


Dave Beck practically has ad-
|mitted what had previously been
|reported-that his fellow Team
|sters Union leaders vetoed his
plan for a 81 million publicity
campaign to defend his repu-
tation.
Beck. .Teamsters Union presi-
dent. was a recent witness be-
fore the Senate Rackets Commit
tee. He invoked the Fifth Amend
'ment to avoid answering ques-
lions about his admitted personal
use of teamsters funds.
Late yesterday Beck issued a
statement saying the union Ex-
ecutive Board, meeting last Mon
day, had authorized a public re-
lations fund of unspecified
amount to defend the union
from any conspiracy" and to
combat unfavorable legislation.
To Fight "Anti- Unionism"
"The teamsters will fight off
anti-unionism. and will meet
head-on the opponents of labor
who would build an alliance with
self-serving forces within the
labor movement" Beck's state
ment said. This shall be the
policy and purpose Of a public
relations program.
"As to the charges leveled at
certain individuals. the execu-
tive board believes in the Ameri-
can principle that one is pre-
Sumed innocent until proven
guilty. and that due process of
law is the democratic process. "
Beck's words seemed TO bear
out reports that the board has
baked at providing the million
dollars he talked about before
the board meeting to counterfeit
his Senate committee appear
