At the same time the Secretary announced that additional rights not heretofore accorded would be attached to the bonds, through provision for their optional redemption, at par and accrued interest, upon the death of the owner, f o r the purpose of satisfying Federal estate taxes, full particulars in such respect appearing in the official circular. The bonds now offered will be an addition to and will form a part of the series of 2 % percent Treasury Bonds of 1962-67 issued pursuant to Department Circular No. 685, dated May 4, 1942. They are identical in all respects with such bonds, with which they will be freely inter-changeable. The bonds are dated May 5, 1942, and bear interest from that date at the rate of 2y 2 percent per annum payable semiannually, with the first payment due December 15, 1942.

These bonds will not be available f o r subscription by commercial banks accepting demand deposits, nor eligible for transfer to such banks for a period of ten years from May 5. The bonds may be pledged as collateral for loans, including loans by commercial banks which accept demand deposits, but any such banks acquiring the bonds because of the failure of such loans to be paid at maturity will be required to dispose of them in the same manner as they dispose of other assets not eligible to be owned by banks. As the offering is not specifically limited in amount, it will remain open for a period longer than customary. Pursuant to the provisions of the Public Debt Act of 1941, interest upon the bonds now offered shall not have any exemption, as such, under Federal Tax Acts now or hereafter enacted. The full provisions relating to taxability are set forth in the official circular released today.

Subscriptions will be allotted in full as received, and payment at p a r and accrued interest from May 5, 1942 must be made on August 3, 1942, or on later allotment.
