Are some of your Series E Government
Bonds maturing this month?
N w they can earn
more mon j for you!
New law provides 10 more interest
earning years for your Series E Bonds
. . . and you need not do
Are you one of those smart and patriotic Americans who
began an automatic saving program with Series E Gov
ernment Bonds in 1941? Then you’re one of the lucky
people who can profit by a new law now l
A bill recently passed by Congress now makes it possi
ble for your United States Defense Bonds tc continue
earning interest ten years longer than was originally
planned.
For example, a Series E Bond which cost you $18.75
in 1941 will pay you $25 in 1951. But if you hold that
bond ten extra years, until 1961, it will pay you $33.33,
an average interest of 2.9% compounded annually.
You get similar increases on Series E Bonds of every
denomination.
And there is nothing for you, as a bond holder, to do.
You need not exchange the bonds you have. You need
not sign any paper, fill out any form. You simply keep
your bonds as you have been keeping them.
You may still redeem any Series E Bond at any time
after you’ve owned it for sixty days. But unless you really
need the cash you’re much better off to hold your bonds.
For United States Defense Bonds are as safe as America
itself.
When you buy your bonds regularly and hold them, they
are steadily building a sum big enough to buy something
really worth while —a home, a business, a retirement
fund, an education for your children.
And bonds are safer than cash! If you lose or acci
dentally destroy cash it’s gone for good. But when
you have your cash in United States Defense Bonds,
the U. S. Treasury will replace lost or destroyed bonds
at no cost or loss to you.
So if some of your bonds are coming due, take advantage
of this new offer of your government—just sit back and
let them go on making money. Meanwhile keep adding
to your savings by buying more U. S. Defense Bonds
regularly—through the Payroll Savings Plan where you
work or the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank.
If you want to be paid your interest as current income—
The new law also allows you to exchange your Series E
Bonds, in blocks of $500 or more, for Special Series G
Bonds which pay interest semiannually at the rate of
2lA7c per year. For full details, ask at any Federal Re
serve Bank.
Look how your maturing bends go on earning under the new law!

Large-Scale Production Of
Tactical Atom Weapons
By U. S. Predicted
WASHINGTON, ■(£>)— A mem
ber of the Congressional Atomic
Energy Committee declared Tues
day Russia can launch “an atomic
attack at 20 or 30 American cities.
A Senator had put the number
as high as 50.
Rep. Jackson (D-Wash), a mem
ber of the Atomic Energy group,
said however the United States is
now capable of producing tactical
atomic weapons—that is, weapons
for use on the battlefield—which
could halt the Red army “in its |
tracks.”
Pleading for* all-out production
of atomic weapons, Jackson said
there is “virtually no limit on the
number of atomic weapons we
can produce” if funds are made
available.
“The time will come,” Jackson
said in a speech prepared for
House delivery, “when we can
make these weapons in dozens of
varieties and in thousands and
tens of thousands.

a record of fighting police, es

he had entered, used it to break
through the back door screen and
glass.
Whittenberg radioed for aid and
then ran around to the rear of his
patrol car. Bowles leaped at him
with the knife and knocked the
patrolman to the ground. Then
he began jumping on the officer.
Whittenberg fired from the
ground and shot Bowles through
one eye.

Yanks Smother Giants
13 to 1 In Fifth Game
NEW YORK, Oct. 9, (/P)—‘The
New York Yankees smothered the
New York Giants 13-1 today with
the most runs scored in a World
Series game in 15 years, to take
a 3-2 edge before 47,530 Polo
Grounds fans.
Rookie Gil McDougald hit the
third bases-loaded homer in series
history and Phil Rizzuto punched
a two-run “Chinese” homer down
the right field foul line in the
Yanks’ 12-hit barrage off five
Giant pitchers.
This was the biggest score by
a series team since 1936 when the
Yanks sunk the Giants 13-5 at
the Polo Grounds Oct. 6, 1936. On
Oct. 2 in the same park during
the ’36 series they hung up the
all-time high of 18-4.
Not since 1936 when Tony Da
zerri hit one for the Yanks against
the Giants in that 18-4 game had
a bases-loaded homer been hit
in a series game. The only pre
vious clout was by Cleveland’s
Elmer Smith in 1920 against
Brooklyn.
