; MORE THAN BILLION
; IN BONDS TURNED IN
$1,140,000,000 Worth of Fourth
Liberties Exchanged for
i Lower Rate Issue.
y By the Associated Press,
The Treasury's drive for funding the
fourth Liberty 4* is today had made
* long inroads into the gold bond block
? inspiration of many court attacks since
dollar devaluation.
Secretary Morgenthau yesterday an
? nounced that $1,140,000,000 had been
* turned in in exchange for bonds car
rying a rate of 278 per cent.
He also declared the Treasury's re
funding offer will be held open till
March 28. The refunding is expected
to save the Government a considerable
amount in interest fees.
A total of $1,875,000.000 of the
>. Fourth Liberties was called for re
demption on April 15, together with
$528.000.000 of 2'/i per cent notes on
March 15. The notes are being re
funded with a new issue of 5-year
paper, bearing interest at the rate of
* 1% per cent.
t This marks the third time a portion
of the Fourth Liberties have been re
tired in operations, which, on April 15,
3 will leave only about $1,300,000,000
Ç outstanding. They are callable on any
' interest date, and interest is payable
semi-annually, on April 15 and on Oc
tober 15.
* In view of developments, there was
- a strong possibility that the remainder
would be called before the next dead
line is reached.
