Amelia Gundersen this morning demanded that a press re- lease be made by the Civilian De- fense Committee on a recent closed- door session on civilian defense. “That was supposed to be a secret session,” said Rep. Wilbur, chair- man of the committee. “How much authority do I have to release the material?” “There wasn't anything said dur- ing the secret session that you can't read in any current magazine,” commented Rep. Franklin. “I never sat in a secret meeting in which so little information of a secret nature was disclosed,” added Rep. Stepo- vich. Tuesday Afternoon The House knocked five more bills off its calendar during a long afternoon session yesterday — three of them permanently and two tem- porily. House Bill 59, which overhauls the laws relating to general relief assistance, and H. B. 53, redefining the dutles of the Welfare Depart- ment, were sent to the Judiciary Committee after Rep. McCutcheon discovered defects in their con- struction. Another measure, H.

But you are. And here is how you, as a citizen of the United States, are creating the greatest success in all history. Remember back in 1941 when the Defense Bonds you were buying sud- denly had to become War Bonds? How you and your neighbors pitched in to buy them in ever-increasing numbers, to back our fighting men and to help achieve the victory of World War II? After V-J Day, when those bonds became Savings Bonds, you continued to buy them because you had learned how regular saving could build secu- rity and contentment for yourself and those you love. The face of the land has undergone some dramatic changes in those years since V-J Day. Now the landscape is dotted with new homes that Savings Bonds built. Thousands upon thou- of sands of new automobiles travel the highways—Savings Bonds cars, bought with the product of individual thrift. On the farms, Bond-purchased equip- P2 e = ORI The U. S. Government does nok pay for this adoertising. The T, for their patriotic donation, the Hv«lum: C;;:dw ment has helped produce Bumper crops and prosperous years. Everywhere in America, man’s urge to get into busi- ness for himself has become a bright reality. So has the ambition of loving parents to send their children through college. Time and time again, Savings Bonds have made those dreams and many others come true. You KNOW they’ve come true, be- cause it’s happened to you or to some of your own friends. And this is only the beginning of the story. Even after accomplishing so much, millions ‘of American families still enjoy the financial security of owning more than fifty billion dollars— fifty thousand million dollars in Savings Bonds. More than at the peak war-time Bond holdings! How much money is that? It’s enough Hor your security, and your country’s too, save now - through regular purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds to build a new $10,000 mortgage-free home for every family in San Francisco —and Sacramento—and Salt Lake City—and Denver—and Kansas City— and St. Louis—and Indianapolis—and Cincinnati—and Pittsburgh—and New York City—and the whole state , of Texas! f And every week, everywhere in Amer- ica, new millions of dollars are added to the total—as crisp new Savings Bonds are typed up with your name on them. ' Kind of a king-size success story, isn’t it? Your success story because you and the millions of your neighbors are living it right now. Your own faith in America—your own desire for the warmth of family security and in- dependence—have made the story of United States Savings Bonds the thrift miracle of all time.
