the payoff today is only $29.5
million by the gold standard of
so years ago.
A Treasury spokesman said
last night it probably will be
a week or two before officials
know just how many of the
bonds have been redeemed,
since individuals have been
cashing them in at the 13 Fed
eral Reserve Banks and 26
branches around the country.
About SIS million worth of the
registered variety - meaning
those with the owners name
on them-have been approved
for payment. No tally is avail
able yet for the bearer or cou-
pom type, which carry no name
and can be cashed by anyone.
Ironically, the original $50
million never did go to help the
Big Ditch. Treasury officials
back in the pre-World War 1
era figured the Panama project
was good gimmick to promote
the bond sale. The proceeds
actually wound up in the Gov
ernment'S general fund. used

If the original investors are
a bit cynical about the issue,
they can't be blamed for their
sentiments. Although the in
terest on the bonds was COM
pletely tax-free, initiation has
long since eaten away their
true value, Today's dollars are
worth only a fraction of the
1911 version that bought the
bonds.
Uncle Sam also promised to
repay bond holders in gold
coin. But it's been illegal to
possess gold since 1888, and the
patriots will have to settle for
greenbacks.

Catholics and non-C Catholics, as a
rule, get along right well together.
Our families live amicably next
door to each other and often be-
come lifetime friends. Our sons
fight side by side on every battle
field. We work together in the
same shops and factories :. root
for the same baseball teams . do
business with one another in a
spirit of mutual trust every day.
In these and other phases of
everyday life, there is a close
association which promotes under
standing and respect. But in
religion :. where this close asso-
ciation does not exist . there is
often a regrertable lack of under
standing and goodwill.
Many people, for instance, have
all sorts of false ideas about Catho-
Lies and the Catholic Church. They
actually believe that Catholics
worship statues :. that many sor-
did things happen behind convent
walls =. that Catholics do not be-
lieve in the Bible i. that Catholic
teaching is pure superstition and
the Mass just mumbo-jumbo.
ALI non-C Catholics, of course,
do not believe such things. But
enough of these false rumors are
in circulation to cause some sin
cere and intelligent nom Catholics
to look upon the Catholic Church
with suspicion, and to reject
Catholic truth without even trou-
bling TO investigate it.
1T is for this reason that the
Knights of Columbus publishes
advertisements like this explain
ing what Catholics really believe.

and neighbors to understand US

A recruiting plan is being
drafted to bring the Washing
ton police force up to its new
strength of 5000.
Only President Kennedy's
signature is required on the
bill which passed the Senate
Friday, giving an additional
286 men to the department.
There is no White House op-
position to the measure.
The recruiting drive, how
ever, cannot get started until
Congress votes the money to
pay for the extra men, city
budget officials said.
About 100000 is included in
the Districts proposed budget
for the fiscal year beginning
July to raise the force from
2,714 to 1924. This amount is
based on a nine-month payroll,
allowing three months for re-
cruitment. About $1.3 million
more would be needed to pay
for a force Of 5000.
Finance Gap WidenS
The $1.3 million brings the
gap between proposed spending
programs and current revenue
sources to about 1924 million.
Deputy Police Chief Howard
". Covell said the machinery
could be set into operation to-
morrow, if necessary, to recruit
the men authorized by the bill.
Also to be filled are II vacan-
cies in the existing force plus
four more caused by military
leave.
I'VE have about $50 men who
have cleared the Civil Service
examination right now" Deputy
Covell said, "but their names
are still at the commission.
