to the SEC the sale of $22,000,000

measure
in anticipation of its complete integration plan which the
company said would not be ready for several months.
The SEC will
hold a hearing on the application Aug. 15.
Proceeds from the sale of the nctes, with $10,640,000 treasury cash,
•will be used for the redemption of Columbia's 25-year 5% debentures,
due May 1, 1952.
Outstanding in the amount of $32,000,000, the bonds
•will be called at 102 plus interest.
'
The company said the redemption of the bonds would result in an
interest saving of $1,270,000 annually, less a tax offset of $76,200.
The net interest saving would be $1,193,800 a year.
In addition, the
charge presently being made to income for amortization of the bonds
will be eliminated and thus income will be increased by approximately
