Government fTlokes Plea
Forflmassed Pennies
Nellie Tayloe Ross, Di
rector of the United
States Mint, today issued
an appeal for the return
to circulation of the mil
lions of copper one-cent
pieces believed to be
stored in'piggy-banks, su
gar bowls, and bureau draw
ers of American homes. The
release of these coins
would obviate the manu
facturing cost of replac
ing them for circulation,
and would save large
quantities of copper
needed for defense.
Director Ross expressed
the hope that banks, nev;s-
papers and other business
enterprises will aid in
this drive.
