PUBUC DEBT SOARS
TO 36 BILLION MARK
New Borrowing, Bond Issue
Lifts Sum Another Billion
And Quarter
■Washington, June 17.—The pub
lic debt climbed above the $36,000,-
000.000 mark today to a new high.
The treasury reported that $852,-
000,000 of borrowing plus issuance
of $500,000,000 in bonds to the gov
ernment life insurance fund, lifted
the debt about $1,352,000,000 to $36,-
633,907,802, as of June 15.
The bonds were issued under the
bonus act to compensate the insur
ance for loans made to veterans on
adjusted compensation certificates
prior to the bonus payment.
The June 15 debt was $2,302,551,-
936 over the debt on June 15, 1936,
and topped the 1919 war-time high
by $10,037,206,154.
President Roosevelt said recently
he expected the seven-year climb
would halt after outstanding obli
gations crossed the $36,000,000,000
mark.
A total of $300,000,000 will be
whittled from the debt when the
treasury retires that amount of ma
turing bills in the next few days.
The June borrowing increased the
treasury’s working cash above the
billion-dollar level for the first time
since January. On June 15, the
working balance stood at $1,241,793,-
664, of $892,348,906 above the pre
vious day.
Cash now is flowing in to the
working balance from second-quar
ter income tax collections. Prelim
inary reports have indicated collec
tions this month will push aggre
gate income tax revenue for the fis
cal year ending June 30 over Presi
dent Roosevelt’s revised budget esti
mate of $2,105,000,000.

WORLD WAR VETS

i
Annual Convention Os 1 North <
Carolina American Legion
To Meet In Durham <
OVER 5,000 EXPECTED
Durham—When the army of
World War veterans from every
section of North Carolina arrives
here for the annual convention of
the state department of American
Legion the latter part of next month
they will find much entertainment
arranged for their enjoyment.
For many weeks members of the
Durham Post, under the direction of
Dr. D. R. Perry, state department
vice-commander and general con
vention chairman, has been working
out plans for the convention and
no pains have been spared in the ef
fort to make the program one that
will set a new high standard for the
state.
The Duke University football '
stadium has been secured for the
drum and bugle corps drills and for •
other competitive events and ar
rangements are being completed for
the electrical illumination of the
vast field.
Dances with a well known or
chestra providing the rhythm for !
dancing feet will be given in com
pliment to the visiting Legionaires
and members of the Legion Auxili
ary. The Salvation Army, long re
membered as friends of the soldiers
overseas during the World War, will
establish one or more dugouts from
which point doughnuts and coffee
will be distributed without charge to
the veterans. Shows and other forms
of entertainment are also being ar
ranged for.
Under the plan announced by Dr.
Perry, only veterans registering at
cne of the several booths to be op
erated for their convenience will
be permitted to share in the festi
vities being arranged. But gifts and
favors, equalling the cost of the re
gistration, will be given to all those
registering, thereby assuring them
of their full money’s worth.
With an attendance of fully 5,000
men and women predicted by the
state department officials, the hous
ing committee is working at th/:
task of assuring every visitor of a
place to stay during his sojurn here.
While all hotel rooms have been re
served, many homes are being of
fered by interested citizens in tak
ing care of those who will be un
able to find accomodations in the
hotels. According to Dr. Perry, no
veteran or member of the Auxiliary
should stay away from the conven
tion because of the fear that they
might be unable to be properly
housed. The housing committee is
headed by Frank Pierson, secretary
of the Durham Chamber of Com
merce, through whom requests for
reservations are being handled.
The business session for the Le
gion will be held in the new armory
auditorium and one of the dances
will be held there. The women will
hold their sessions in the First Bap
tist Church.
Prof. H. E. Spence, an outstanding
member of Duke University School
of Religion, has been secured as the
speaker for the annual memorial
service which will be held as the
. opening feature of the convention.
Convention headquarters for the
white Legionaires and the Auxiliary
will be located in the Washington
Duke HoteL The convention head
quarters for the negro veterans will
[ be in the Biltmore Hotel and the
business sessions will be held in the
. Negro Schools in Hayti, one of the
[ negro sections of the city.
The Negro veterans will Join with
the white Legionaires in the
. rial service and music for the oc
i casion will be furnished by «nm+ of
. the outstanding negro singers of
. Durham.
