Huge Job.
Washington, May 23.?Postmaster
General Farley predicted today 'hat
payment on a great majority" of
the bonus baby bonds "will be made j
within one week of June 15, the first [
date of payment."
Farley announced final plans for |
delivering the bonds to veieraus. and
arrangements for veterans to e*sti j
in their bonds if they choose
The bonds will be mailed out to j
the 45.000 post offices Juno 15 from t
Washington and from the 11 Federal;
Reserve centers at Boston, New,
York, Philadelphia, Cleveland. At-:
lanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapo- j
lis, Kansas City. Dallas, and San j
Francisco.
Receipt To Vary Little
The date of receipt of th<-se bonds
at the various communities throughout
the nation will depend on the
transit time between the mailing of- j
fice and the office of destination,"
Farley said in a prepared statement.
Mail carriers have been given instructions
to ''go out of their way
whenever necessary with a view to : ~
ertccung aehvery. parley saw. me y
bond packets must be delivered to C
uie veteran in person, and not to an- c
other person or firm at the veteran's v
address. ^
- "If it is impossible to locate the j
veteran to whom the bonds are ad- t
dressed," Farley continued, "they! 1<
will be held for 30 days at the post \ b
office of destination before being: re- v
turned to the respective Federal Re- ' p
serve centers and thence to the t p
Treasury Department." \ f
$o0 Denominations . v
The bonds will be in $50 denomina- l
ttdns with accompanying checks to j u
cover the odd amounts. 11
To collect cash, the veteran must
have his t-onds certified through his 1
local post office. .|
"If the veteran is personally known . i
to the postmaster or designated em- ;
ploye, witnesses are not necessary." \ Q
Far-ey said. If he is not known, one j ()
or two witnesses who know the voter- .
an ami who are known to the certi- j *
fying officer must sign the bonds in ;
the space provided.
'Space is also provided or. tht bond (
for taking fingerprint impressions in
exceptional cases. The method of j;
identification is within the discretion
of the postmaster. Postmasters
will find veterans' organizations interested
and wilting to render ail assistance
possible." 1

"Upon the surrender of his bond 1
at the post office, following proper *
identification, the veteran will re- P
