" SYLVIA PORTER

On october S. Treasury Sec
rotary Anderson will go into the
open market to borrow around
81 billion to help pay the Gov
ernment's bills. He'll borrow a
big chunk of the money through
the sale of I.O.U.'s due within
10 months.
The chances are he'll pay be-
tween AS and S per cent for
this temporary loan-meaning
that any buyer Of these I.O.U.'s
will be getting this historically
high return on a United States
obligation which will be paid
of at 100 cents on the dollar
about the middle Of 1860.
When the Treasury is COM
PEELED by rising interest rates
and the scarcity Of money to
pay a rate Of this magnitude
on a short-term lou, any in
weston, small or big, with funds
he wants to put into a safe
place for a limited amount of
time ought to be attracted. This
holds despite the possibility
that the Treasury may have to
pay even more on a future loan.
For the price level is not 60
ing to rise at anything near s
per cent between now and mid
80. The income tax due on the
interest is not going to reduce
the overall return much for
average income buyers.

ing this sort of United States
obligation? How do you buy

How to Buy u. S. Bonds

any one of the many Treasury
securities trading every day at
prices giving the buyer a re-
turn of Az per cent a year or
more?
Before I give you an answer,
a simple guide is in order.
Don't even bother to try to
buy these securities unless you
have at least 81 900 to invest
and to be absolutely honest
about it, you should have at
least $4,000 to make it worth
while.
The Treasury doesn't offer
its Short-term marketable Sc
curities in denominations I'M
der $1,000. Banks, dealers,
brokers don't want to handle
orders under $4,000 or so be-
cause they can't make money
on transactions of this size.
AS for you, the difference be-
tween what you can get on a
savings account and on U. S.
Treasury issues today doesn't
amount to much on a small
amount.

WINGS & WHEELS
BY CHARLES YARBRouGH

DETROIT.-The featherfeet
were out In force on the Ford
Motor C0mpany's vast test
track, wringing every possible
mile-to-the-gallon out of the
new compact Falcon due here
october 8.
My AZ miles to the gallon
was good enough for a second
place prize. but top honors
went to a teen-age girl who
coaxed an amazing so miles
to the gallon from the six
cylinder, front engine car.
For the national press pre-
view, Ford rolled out at least
so Falcons--yours for the ask
ing on a strictly temporary
basis.
No one would want to drive
the way you have to on an
economy run. I kept the speed
ometer needle on a rigid 80
miles an hour, seeking every
little dip and fall on the test
track. In actual operation,
day-to-day committing and the
like, the Falcon should live
up to Ford's claim of 80 miles
to the gallon.
With ample room, the 49,
inch car (29 inches shorter
than the 1859 Ford Fairlane
5000 has a big car feel, handles
well and Is remarkably quiet,
with the 90-horsepower engine
and untitled body.
After the economy run, I ran
the car easily to 70 miles an
hour with what seemed to be
quite a bit left in the power
plant.
One Of the pleasures of this
Job is the opportunity to drive
new cars as they are intro
duced. The first general reac-
ton thus far this year has been
the builders success in noise
reduction.
Sound dampening is some
thing to be taken for granted
in high-priced cars, but noise
abatement in the lower price
range is something that for
years has been sacrificed to
economy or at best given only
perfunctory recognition.

II your banks aim is to give
you Grade A service, you'll have
no trouble buying your securi-
ties, although you may be
charged an extra fee because
Of the small size Of your pur-
chase.
Go to Top Men
If your bank officer pleads
ignorance about the mechanics
of the purchase, go over his
head to a top echelon man. ANY
informed, patriotic banker
should be concerned about the
Treasury's borrowing difficulties
these days. should want to en-
courage you to buy. And your
banker always can appeal to
an officer of a larger institution
for assistance on how to get the
securities to you.
CD Or go to your broker
and ask him to buy the short
term securities for you. He
to should be able to put through
the transaction quickly or
should be able to get informa-
ton fast.
If this answer seems a bit
tentative. there is an excellent
explanation. Since the '20s,
the Government market has
been the province of the big
investor and the whole mech
aniSm of the market has been
geared to him. The little in
weston has stuck to United
States Savings Bonds.
Now, though, the interest
rates on short-term United
States issues are sufficiently at
tractive to warrant your at
tention too. There is no reason
why the Treasury should not
be paying the rates to small
investors willing to lend thou
sands as well as to the giants
willing to lend millions.

Fuubus for
School Plan

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July Is
(AP) The Little Rock School
Board last night challenged
Gov. Orval E. Faubus to reveal
what plan, if any, he has for
legally maintaining segregation
in public high schools here.
Unless a valid, legal plan
exists, the board said, it's sole
remaining choice is to proceed
with a plan to open the schools
this fall under a pupil assign
ment law designed to minimize
indignation"
Pre-registration of high
School pupils begins next week.
The board adopted a resolu-
ton stating that each member
would prefer to operate segre-
gated schools but IF no choice
is offered, we will not abandon
free public education in order
to avoid integration." The res
olution added:
IF Gov. Faubus and his at
torneys have conceived such
a plan, we earnestly request
that he communicate such
plan to us Immediately. We
stand ready at all times to con-
fer with him on this matter"
Gov. FaubuS, mentioning in
Northwest Arkansas, could not
be reached for comment.
All four high schools here
remained closed last year I'M
der Gov. Faubus' order. The
board regained control of the
school recently when a Federal
court struck down the law I'M
der which Gov. Faubus closed
them.

He said he had been told by
club president Wilfred Burg

lives they lead. Models in the
show reflect the various racial
strains that make up the pop
ulation Of the United States.
Not enough clothes for the
working woman were presented,
many fashion writers felt. The
salaries of these women are a
part OF the Nations economy
and enable them to buy the
clothes that have made them
the best-dressed women in the
world.
Other constructive criticism
offered Mr.. Hankin included
less playing UP of trousered
fashions for women which
many people abroad find Of
fensive. Other fashion COM
plants the petition sought to
clear up were in such areas as
the overstaging of the produc-
ton written and produced by
Bert Shevelove, known for his
TV work; authenticity of some
of the clothes shown for cook
outs. square dancing, and the
relative good taste of some of
the fashions shown.
Hankin Thanks Group
Mr.. Hankin thanked mem
bers of the group for their in
terest and replied to them in
a letter which said last Sun
days initial run-through had
suggested a variety of changes
and improvements to us. and it
is more than likely that some
of the things which you may
have had in mind were equally
in the minds of the committee
in charge Of this project"
Bear n mind this is a
fashion presentation, not a
fashion show" Mr.. Hankin
insisted. The fashion ambas-
sador to Moscow good natured-
ly added that to stage a show
that would please a profess
sional audience of fashion peo-
pie, and at the same time have
appeal for the average person,
was well-nigh impossible.
He admitted some of the
staging was overdone. He said
editing was taking out a lot
of the strident quality of the
fashion presentation. BY July
25. he is sure, America will
have show which will thrill
the Russians and make every
American proud to have sent
lit over.
