INTEREST UP
ON SERIES E
AND H BONDS
Series E and H savings bond'
purchases in Okfuskee county are
expected to boom now that the
president has signed into law a
bill authorizing an increase in the
rate of interest Roy D Taylor
county chairman of the bond pro-
gram said that the Treasury has
announced that the new 'rate on
Series E bonds will be 334 percent
compounded semi-annually based
on being held to maturity The
companion H bond the owner of
which received an interest check
from the Treasury each six months
likewise will earn 334 percent
Taylor pointed out that the in-
terest rate on all E and H bonds
outstanding will be increased by
at least 12 percent This would
mean he explained that a bond
Issued in January 1949 at 29 per-
cent which now is drawing 3 per-
cent in the 10-year extended ma-
turity period will commence earn-
ing 312 percent The 334 percent
rate is retroactive to date of pur-
chase on those bonds 13sued since
June 1 1959
Purchases thus far this year in
the county have totaled 8152223-
00 This is 5535 percent of the
Series E and H goal 827500000
for 1959 Statewide purchases dur-
ing this same period January -
August amounted to 839468616
for 5847 percent of the 867500-
000 goal
Taylor expressed hope that all
civic and other such organizations
would help in spreading the infor-
mation about the new interest in-
crease "Serie E and H bonds
are essential in the 'wise manage-
ment of the public debt" he said
"This contribution to national
strength is important to all of us
Too the soundness of savings
bonds as an investment should in
itself inspire all of us to purchase
them"

Governor Hits
Local Angle
of Government
OKLAHOMA CITY (Al —
Governor Edmondson fired
an opening shot today in his
campaign for redistribution'
of state gasoline tax reven-
ues In a news release the
governor hit hard on the lo-
cal self government angle in
support of his plan to give
road revenues now going to
county commissioners to the
state highway department
The initiative petition for a state
Wide' vote is still in the planning
stage The governor modified the
program recently to permit coun-
ties to vote on whether they want
to keep the money or let the state
handle the road buiness
Said the governor "This plan
will offer the 77 counties — for the
first time — the right to make an
important choice for themselves
It will give the counties an oppor-
tunity to say how to spend the
largest chunk of tax dollars that
comes to the county"
Edmondson said county voters
will have this choice
1 "You want to ratain your pre-
sent system and remain a piece
of the state highway puzzle or
2 "You want to join in a plan-
ned highway program that will
give the county an efficiently en-
gineered road program for itself
and at the same time be a part
of the Oklahoma picture"
County commissioners have cri-
ticized the proposal as a blow at
!local self government
Moon Rocket
Erupts in Fire
CAPE CANAVERAL UP) — A po-
tential U S moon rocket blew up
on its pad today at Cape Canaver-
al Florida during an engine test
The towering Atlas-Able missile
suddenly erupted in a flash of fire
but none of the test crew in a
nearby b1pckhouse was hurt
Thetocket was to have been
used early next month to try to put
a 375-pound satellite in orbit a-
round the moon A TV camera
was to attempt to make pictures
of the dark side of the moon —
which man has never seen
But those plans have gone up in
a burst of flame and smoke
and not it is doubtful the U S
can get another Atlas-Able ready
in time for an early 0 c t ober
launching
The Air Force says an investi-
gation is under way to determine
what caused the 100-foot tall mis-
sile to explode

Soviet Sincere
COON RAPIDS Iowa (if') —Ad lai
Stevenson says Soviet Premier
Khrushchev expressed confidence
that inspection controls could be
worked out for his disarmament
plan Stevenson discussed the mat-
ter with Khrushchev during t h e
premier's visit to the Roswell
Garst farm at Coon Rapids Iowa
yesterday
Stevenson says he believes the
Russian leader was sincere when
he made his plea for total dis-
armament over a 4-year period
Stevenson says he thinks Kbrush
chev's position on disarmament
controls has changed In the past
the Russians have resisted any
idea of inspection to enforce any
disarmament agreem ent The
United States has insisted on such
safeguards to prevent cheating
Stevenson comments:
"We should not dismiss to im-
petuously the sincerity of the
Khrushehev proposals We should
examine with care the possibility
of an arms inspection program"
