(—Atom spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg said Wed. they were offered a deal by the government to spare their lives in return for a confession of spy- ing. The couple declared they spurned the deal and are prepared to rest their case with history, even if it costs their lives in Sing Sing Pris- on’s electric chair. They are scheduled to die the night of June 18 for conspiracy to betray America’s atom bomb se- crets to Russia. Although there have been past hints that the government is pre- pared to make such a deal with the Rosenbergs, this was the first time the couple had mentioned an out and out offer. Their statement was issued by their attorney, Emanuel Bloch, who talked to them at the prison, Tuesday the Rosenbergs” said j they were visited by Federal Pris- on Director James V. Bennett. They labeled him an emissary of Atty.-Gen. Herbert Brownell. Citrus Owners ToBeChecked TALLAHASSEE (®—The House | Wed. called on the University of | Florida to make a study of citrus grove ownership in Florida. The resolution, offered by the} House Citrus Committee, said the | Tresearch would enable the citrus industry “to foresee economicprob- lems of the future in order that intelligent planning may be under- taken.” Faculty members of the Univer- sity of Florida College of Business Administration estimated the study would cost $27,000. House approval of the project was by resolution and did not include an appropria- tion. The study would cover produc- tion, marketing organization, de- mand for.citrus, by products, char- acteristics of groves owned by in- dividuals and corporations, chang- ing sizes of groves, citrus grow- ing techniques and taxation.

Shephard returned to him and! pulled him to a sitting position. “No, you don’t,” he said. “You don’t go to sleep until I get my story.” He helped Brindle to his feet. “I'll take you home.” In the convertible, Shephard opened all the windows.

The cabin cruiser gathered speed to lead the cutter as far away as possible.

The telephone was cutting through Brindle’s dream. When he finally opehed his e and found the noise wasn’t imaginary, he knew the bell had been ring- ing for a full five minutes. He got out of bed and lifted shade. The day was bright a the sky a cloudless blue. Cross. ing the bedroom, he picked up the receiver. His body ached. . “Hello.” It was weak, but audi- ‘hanks! “Pm sorry, pal.” After dressing as quickly as he could, he got a cab into town the San Diego Trust and Savi Bank, he moved with long, d steps to the foyer of the vault room.

What points does VA check on, in appproving a ‘wheelchair housing” grant for a paralyzed veteran who meets all basic re- quirements of the law? A. VA has to determine (1) whe- ther it’s medically feasible for the veteran to live in the proposed house and in the proposed locali- ty; (2) whether he can afford the particular house, and (3) whether the home is suitable to his needs for dwelling purposes, Q. Through an oversight, I paid my GI insurance premium right at the end of the grace period. | What does VA consider as the date the payment is made -- the date By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK t—The cost of financing business operations con- tinues to edge up. Home mortgage interest rates are under similar pressure and so are the financing costs of buying on the cuff. Factors—the finance companies who finance the’flow of goods to consumers from such industries as textiles and furniture—are prepar- ing their clients for the sad news that the present 6 per cent interest charge should be going up soon. The squeeze on business from rising interest rates is shown by a parade of companies who have cancelled or postponed offering curities because of the higher in- terest demanded, or have dropped offerings altogether to get their needed money through loans from the banks. One and al:, they blame “the money market condition.” Commercial paper dealers this week have hiked their interest charge for the fourth time in three months, Finance compinies—the small-loan companies—~have raised for the third time the amount of interest. they pay depositors who I mail my check or the date it’s |!end them the money they lend received by the VA? A. The postmark date on the envelope containing your remitt- ance is accepted by VA as the date payment is made. Q. I am a disabled World War II veteran, and I applied for train- ing under Public Law 16. Shortly after I filed my application, VA notified me that I was being drop- ped from the compensation rolls, and my disgbility re-rated at zero per cent. This was a result of a physical exam I took. Even though I'm no longer entitled to compen- sation, would I still be allowed to go ahead with my Public Law 16 training, since E filed for it before jmy zero rating went into effect? A, No, Since you were taken off the compensation rolls before you actually started training, you would not be permitted to enroll under Public Law 16. Q. Does the term insurance available to veterans who served since Korea pay dividends? A. No. The new forms of in- surance for post-Korea veterans acrobatic floor are non-participating: they do not} pay dividends However, the pre- mium rates are lower than for any other form of Government insur- ance.

S. government bond prices fell to a record low Tuesday and the Federal Reserve stepped in to bolster the market.

Chief is the policy of the Federal Reserve in the dast two years to let interest rates rise by dropping support of government bond prices. Rising in- terest rates are designed to halt inflation and harden the buying value of the dollar. Another cause in the last few weeks has been the tendency of business borrowers to rush in to borrow because they feared still higher interest charges and feared the Federal Reserve might allow |loan funds to dry up still further. | Those who anticipate’ down turn in business activity in coming ‘months expect interest rates to | drop again as a result. It is the present record demand for money to finance booming business, to expand plants, and to meet the j climbing U. S. Treasury deficit, that is causing rates to rise, they contend, But until interest rates stop climbing, some businessmen are going to be hurt. In the last two days, for example, a large finance company has dropped its plan to raise 50 million doliars by selling ; debentures—the interest cost would | be too high. A Southern utility has refused to pay 5 per cent interest on debentures and has turned to j bank loans instead. A big industri- al company has drepped plans to } sell common shares—“money mar- ket conditions.” Pureeing fresh fruits or vegeta- bles for summer meals?
