"BABY BONDS"

VETERANS BEING SUP

Wahington, June 15. With a
few hitches, the government's
bonus distributing machinery to
day dropped "baby" bonds into
the waiting hands of about three
million war veterans.
This done, the treasury and
postoffice departments made
ready for the next step—to cash
all bonds turned in for payment.
Secretary Morgenthau told re
porters at his press conference
there were "bound to be" some
errors in the bonus shipments,
with three shifts of emergency
workers laboring at top speed,
but added he did not believe the

reported to have sent out a list
of 15,000 bonds which were ship

instructed mot to certify those
for payment.
In a few cases, it was said,
shipments were stopped because
the packets had been improperly
addressed or because packets con
tained the wron number of bonds.
Some cases were reported, too,
in which veterans, fearing that
their original applications had
been lost, had sent duplicates to
the veterans administration.
Postal officials said veterans
probably would begin receiving
government checks in exchange
for their bonds on Wednesday
and that these payments would
be fairly well completed by the
end of the week.
Although about $1,650,000,000
worth of bonds have been started
to the veterans, officials said
some probably would hold their
bonds for a time, to draw inter-

The checks will be sent out in
a separate mailing from 248

veterans who return their bonds
to their local postoffices and
have them certified by workers.

In metropolitan centers, where

tomorrow. Checks probably will
go into the mail Wednesday. The
bonus checks, like the original
packets, will be delivered only to
the veteran himself, officials
said, to avoid the possibility or

not stop shipments to veterans
entitled to the bonus.
Most of the "stop" orders were
issued in cases where veterans
had been reported dead sine®

other irregularities had cropped

Probate judges in some cities
hav e sent to postmasters lists of
veterans declared incompetent,
