HENRY MORGENTHAU, JR., Secretary of the Treasury. PRESS STATEMENT (Released June 23, 1943) Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau made the following statement today: “ The current payment of individual income taxes and the collection of taxes through withhold ing pay at its source, provided by recent tax legislation, will largely serve the purpose heretofore served by Treasury Tax Savings Notes of Series A, which have been available since August, 1941, for the convenience of small taxpayers. “ Many individuals who have made advance provision for the payment of income taxes, through the purchase of these notes, now find they hold notes in excess of their future tax requirements. “ Two actions are now being taken: First, the sale of Treasury Tax Savings Notes of Series A was discontinued at close of business June 22, 1943; and second, the holders of any such notes are being accorded the privilege of redeeming their notes for cash, at the tax payment value current at the time of presentation. These changes are being made effective through Department Circular No. 715, issued today. “The privilege of cash redemption at tax payment value, will apply to the notes of the three issues of Series A notes now outstanding, and may be exercised by the owners at any time, but attention is called to the fact that interest ceases to accrue at the maturity of the notes. “ Hereafter, during any month, the cash redemption value of Treasury Tax Savings Notes of Series A is the same as the tax payment value for that month, as shown in the table on the back of each note. Notes presented for cash redemption must have the request for payment properly executed, and must be surrendered to the Federal Reserve bank or other agency that issued the' particular notes. “ No action is being taken with respect to outstanding Treasury Tax Savings Notes of Series B, which are largely held by corporations and large taxpayers. As regards the Treasury Notes of Tax Series C, which have been included in the general designation ‘Treasury Tax Savings Notes,’ and which are adapted not only for the accumulation of tax reserves, but for the temporary or short term investment of idle cash reserves, the sale of these notes will be continued without interruption, but hereafter they will be designated Treasury Savings Notes of Series C.”
