"An Italian radio station picked up and broadcast
the wnsoe story Week before last Robert flew to the
Schweitzer hospital with four and half tons of medical
supplies worth $400000 carried in planes provided by
the French and Italian governments The hearted
ness of great many people had parlayed Roberts bot
tie of aspirin into gift magnificent proportions Dr.
Schwetzer said never thought child could do so
much for hospital This not the first time the heart

We Get Break on Savings Bonds
BY SYLVIA PORTER

Millions Of Americans whf
own the S42.7 billion Of United
States savings bonds now out
standing. are going To get Q
break.
| The interest rate on savings
bonds Is to be raised to a, max
imum Of 3N per cent from 3k
per cent.
The Savings Bond program
is being brought up to date
and placed on a realistic" In
terest rate basis.
A return Of 334 per cent on
an absolutely riskless. long
term holding In Treasury bonds
is realistic In this cycle Of In
terest rates. It's not "rich.
but it's fair.
President Eisenhower has
asked Congress to recognize
formally what has been hap
pening to interest rates and to
permit the Treasury TO COM
pete more forcibly for the
money 1t must have.
Change Dramatized
To the professionals in Wal
Street, to bankers, investors
and finance ministers around
the world. the key part Of the
message is the request that the
Treasury be allowed to sell
marketable bonds with coupons
above ~ per cent. For this
breaks q rate ceiling which has
stood unchallenged since 1917,
This single request dramatizes
what has happened to the
United States debt and the
Treasury's position during al
most a half-century of wars,
booms. intense competition
among borrowers. imitation.
For many years before Feb
ruary /, 1857, II you put SIS
into a 500 savings bond. you
had to hold the bond nine
years, eight months to get the
500. The SIS In interest in
this period worked out to a
return Of 3 per cent.
In the early years Of your
ownership Of the bond the in
terest return was picayune. II
you cashed in after a year
your, return was only l.59 per
cent: after five years, it was
only 2.52 per cent.
BY 1857 the postwar rise In
the general level Of interest
rates had made this scale pain
fully unfair OF the little saver
The Treasury then asked and
got Congress permission to
change the rates so that SIS
put into a savings bond would
bring back 500 in eight years
and IL months. The $25 in In
terest in this shorter time wa:
meant to work out to a return
Of 3h per cent. And the cash.
in values of the bonds in the
earlier years Of ownership also
were sharply increased.
But. since 1857 the rise In
the level Of interest rates has
been even more spectacular.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-06-11

savings institutions pay more
than q Savings Bond. The
Treasury is deliberately keeping
down the return in the early
years in order not to compete
unduly with savings institu-
tons.
But on long-term savings 33z
per cent is a fair rate. And the
great advantage Of savings
bonds is that their purchase
does discipline you into saving
regularly in securities on which
you can't lose q penny.
The program is being given q
new lease on life. It deserves it.

Maturity Shortened
Under the proposed scale SIS
