7k PAYMENT OF | SAMS 1S ASSURED i SE ASKING CASH Pstoffice Department Will Co- Operate With Veterans Administration Washington, May 1.—(#)—Postal Officials said Friday that machinery has been set up to assure quick pay- ment of bonus money to veterans who desire to cash their “baby bonds” after they are distributed in June. Following is the procedure outlined by officials, A veteran applies for payment of|’ his bonus certificate in $50 bonds by sending an application blank with his ts and other data to the nearest Office of the veterans’ admin- istration. . After it has checked over the appli- cation, the veterans’ administration certifies the application to the treas- ury department. Check Covers Odd Amount ‘The treasury department makes out an order for the proper number of $50 bonds, plus a check to cover any odd amount, These are sent to the Federal Reserve bank in the veteran's district. The Federal Reserve bank makes up @ bundle for each veteran, containing as many $50 bonus “baby bonds” as the veteran is owed, plus the check to cover the odd amount. On June 15, these packages will start to move to veterans, through the registered letter service of the post- office department. May Apply For Cash As soon as a veteran receives his bonds, he may take them to his local postoffice and apply for cash pay- ment. The local postmaster will for- ward the bonds to the nearest paying center, (236 first class postoffices have been designated as paying centers) and a government check will be sent from there to the veteran. If a veteran chooses to hold his bonds as an investment, he may draw interest at 3 per cent a year until 1945. No interest will be paid a vet- eran who cashes his bonds before the end of the first year, and no interest will be paid after 1946. ORDER EXTENSION OFN.D.
