PAGE FOUR — erminal Leav e Bonds In Key West Amount To $150,000 To $200,000 WITH I BONDS, SEPT. 2 (From Washington Correspondent, Key West Citt WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.— Terminal leave held by Monroe county veterans of World War II have a cash value of from $150,000 to $200,000, according to the best Washington estimates. Whether ex-GI's convert these SURY ARRANGING: bonds available bonds into cash remains to be! but based on the experi- when the World War made immediately the bulk of them will be turned into money. President Truman last week re- luctantly signed the bill passed by both House and Senate in the closing hours of the first session of the 80ih Congress. At the time of the signing he urged GI's to retain the terminal leave bonds, which earn interest the same as any government bond. Meanwhile thee Treasury De- partment making arrange- ments with banks to cash the bonds, just as they United States Savings Bonds. Terminal leave bonds may be cashed after September 1, Washington officials of the ma- jer veterans organizations would like to see ex-Gl’s either hold their bonds or use them to rein- state National Service Life In- surance, but neither these of- fieials nor the Congressmen who passed the bills are very hope- ful that mony veterans will fol- low either course. Ever since last year when con- #ress and the President agreed to pay terminal leave to enlisted men and women in bonds, the Vete: Administration has been aceepting such bonds for use in NSLI reinstatement. Not many veterans have availed seen, ence of 19 I bonus bonds were redeemable, themselves of this privilege. It is 5! doubtful that now, with the ad- ditional pressure of soaring liv- ing costs, many veterans will either hang on to their bonds or use them to pay insurance pre- miums. Value of bonds held by ex-Gl’s throughout Florida is estimated at between $25,000,000 and $30,- 000,000. KEY WESTER SERVING ABOARD USS ATLANTA he Citizen) GREAT L oS.
