ighe Interest Permitted on US. Savings Bonds

WASHINGTON, P- President Eisenhower Tuesday signed a bill permitting higher interest pay ments on government savings bonds Simultaneously he ap- proved Treasury plans to raise the rate by one-half per cent.
 The limited authority to in crease the return on the "E" and 'fH'' issues was as far as Con- gress would go toward meeting EisenhoWer's insistent request for complete removal of the ceiling LILY now IA per cent-on all long term government issues.
 In signing the bill Eisenhower said:
 'In approving the recommend ations of the Secretary of the Treasury for a rate of 334 per cent, I stated:
 "'To my mind there is no bet ter way of saving, no more ef- fective way of strengthening our power for peace, than to own United States savings bonds.'
 ITO buy these bonds is to ex- press faith in America"
 The President has already made it emphatically clear that he will try again when Congress comes back in January. Even as he made ready to sign the bobtailed bill, Eisenhower told his news confer ence Sept. IT that he hopes the new session will feel the heat of truth" and pass his proposal. He called the refusal to do it this year "one of the most serious things that has happened to the United States in my time"
 The administration contention is that the limit on interest rates puts the government out of com petition with long term borrow CTS who will pay more, and forces the Treasury into inflationary short-term financing.

Japanese Are Best Fishermen In the World

VICTORIA, B. C., R- Former Canadian Fisheries Minister N. Sinclair believes Japanese are the best fishermen in the world.
 The head of the British Colum- bia Fisheries Assn. said in an ad- dress last night that while British Columbia fishermen ply their trade mainly by instinct and prac- tical experience, the Japanese use electronic computers to find fish.
 Also, in British Columbia, men become fishermen simply by going to sea in boat, but the Japanese go to a fishing school, he said
 Success of the Japanese meth ods is shown, he said, by the fact that they now catch twice the tonnage of fish of any other na- ton.

Seattle Tax Office Collects $134;245

The State Department of Rev. enue reports that it's new Seattle branch office has accounted for $135,245 in tax collections since it opened two months ago.
 Peter Gatz, commissioner of revenue, estimated that as much as $35,000 was collected in assess ments that might have been lost without operation of the office.
 The $35,000 sum, Gatz said, largely represented delinquent in come tax payments.
 Gatz said about 5000 taxpayers in Washington State file Alaska returns - about one-tenth of the total number of returns handled by the Alaska department. About $500 Seattle residents file returns on earnings in Alaska
 The states Seattle tax office is managed by Edward A. Patton, a former deputy territorial tax commissioner.

Iowa Farmer to Talk Turkey"
 To Khrushchev
By RELMAN MORIN

COON RAPIDS, Iowa, R - Iowa farmer Roswell Garst is ready to give Nikita Khrushchev some tips on how to produce more food in the Soviet Union.
 But his larger purpose, Garst said, is to help with the task of selling Khrushchev on an arms inspection plan to get rid of the burden of armaments"
 Garst is a hybrid corn expert, livestock raiser, farmer, banker and proprietor of a general store in Coon Rapids-population 1,700 some 65 miles northwest of Des Moines. He met Khrushchev dur ing his several trips to the Soviet Union and he was a guest in Khrushchev's home on the Black Sea last spring.
 "You might say I'm constitu- tionally opposed to hunger, :" Garst said. ''I think a hungry man is a dangerous man and a hun gry nation is a dangerous nation"
 ''Khrushchev's primary inter est is to find out why 12 per cent of the people in the United States can produce enough food for the 100 per cent, and with a diet high in the meat type of human pro- tein - and why it takes 50 per cent of the people in the Soviet Union to produce a diet substan- tially lower in the meat type of protein.
 ''He is interested in finding out how to produce a better and bet ter diet with less and less people. This is what I basically intend to help him discover"
 Garst said good American salesman ought to find it rela- lively easy to sell Khrushchev on an arms inspection plan.
 Garst is known in these parts as a capable salesman. He said he "has a few ideas on subjects other than corn and cattle and hopes to have the opportunity to mention them to Khrushchev.

Polaris Sub Missile Fired Successfully

CAPE CANAVERAL, UP - An other successful firing of a Pol aris missile has moved the United States nearer it's goal of nuclear firepoWer for submarines.
 Mondays launching came short ly after Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev said in San Fran cisco that the Soviet Union is scrapping most of it's cruisers in favor of submarines and torpedo boats.
 Some of the submarines being built presumably are atomic powered craft capable of firing ballistic missiles. US officials believe the Soviets are building about 12 atomic subs But most feel they are behind this coun- try in the development of Sub- marine launched ballistic mis- SileS.
 The United States has nine nuclear subs under construction. Each will carry Is nuclear-tip- ped Polaris missiles, probably by late next year. The Polaris will have a range of 1,200 miles.

Welfare Head Urges
More Big FomiIy Aid

No father is eligible for as
sistance here if he is physic-
ally able to work. A father of
six children, for example, may
be trying to support the chill
dren, his wife, and himself, on
$40 a week.
Under the Federal law con-
trolling the Aid to Dependent
Children program, a major
Federal matching category,
help is given only after the
breadwinner is incapacitated or
out of the home. Designed
basically for children whose
fathers were dead, its function
today throughout the country
primarily is to help children
whose fathers have deserted.
Although this was not the in
tent of the law, the report
notes, in effect it puts a pre-
MUM on desertion and broken
