FIFTH W A R L O A N
GENERAL INFORMATION
and
T R E A S U R Y CIRCULARS
To all Banking Institutions
in the Second Federal Reserve

District:

The objective of the Fifth War Loan Drive is to raise 16 billion dollars through the
sale of Government securities to investors other than banking institutions accepting demand
deposits. Of this amount, the quota for sales to individuals is 6 billion dollars. The drive
will run from June 12, through July 8, 1944, but all subscriptions for Savings Bonds and
Savings Notes processed by the Federal Reserve Banks or the Treasury Department from
June 1, through July 31, 1944, will be credited to the drive.
The goals for sales to all classes of investors and for sales to individuals have been
increased substantially over those set for the Fourth War Loan Drive; the national quota
for sales to individuals in the Fifth War Loan exceeds by 700 million dollars the actual amount
of sales to such investors in the previous drive. The establishment of higher goals and the
increased emphasis on sales to individuals call for greater efforts on the part of everyone
connected with the drive. The banking system, which has been responsible in large measure
for the success of earlier war loan drives, will be in a position to continue its effective assistance in soliciting and facilitating the entry of subscriptions for customers.
In previous drives we have furnished all banking institutions in this district with a comprehensive circular containing general information regarding the drives and the official offering circulars relating to each of the issues sold. Since this material has apparently been helpful
to banking institutions, similar material with respect to the Fifth War Loan Drive is set forth
in this circular. If the members of your staff will study carefully the material on pages 2 to 8
of this circular prior to the opening of the drive and retain copies for ready reference during
the drive, we believe that their work will be facilitated and the success of the drive will be
promoted.

ALLAN

SPROUL,

President.
You will want additional copies of this circular.
Please advise us of the number you will need.

INFORMATION

FOR BANKING

INSTITUTIONS

The following information is of particular importance to banking institutions in view of the essential
functions which they will perform during the Fifth War Loan Drive. It should be read carefully by the
members of their staffs who will work on matters pertaining to the drive.
Securities offered
In order to afford easy reference to the detailed terms of the securities to be sold during the drive, and
to facilitate the answering of questions regarding them, the following Treasury Department circulars, in
form as revised and amended to date, are reproduced on the pages indicated:

The 21/2 °/o Treasury Bonds of 1965-70 will be dated February 1, 1944; however, interest on such bonds
sold during the drive will accrue from June 26, 1944, and the first coupon will cover the period June 26 to
September 15, 1944. Thereafter interest will be paid semiannually on March 15 and September 15. Each
of the other marketable issues will be dated June 26, 1944. The term of the first coupon on each of such
issues, and the dates on which interest will be paid thereafter, may be determined by referring to the respective Treasury Department circulars reproduced on the following pages.
Restrictions on subscriptions by commercial banks for own account
The 16 billion dollar goal of the Fifth War Loan Drive is to be raised entirely from nonbanking sources.
Accordingly, commercial banks (banking institutions accepting demand deposits) will not be permitted to
subscribe for their own account to the securities offered in the drive except to the limited extent provided in
this paragraph. Supplementing the arrangements made available concurrently with the Fourth War Loan,
the Treasury Department has provided for subscriptions by commercial banks in limited amounts in relation to their savings deposits, and certain time certificates of deposit, as defined in Regulation Q of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Such banks may subscribe to United States Savings
Bonds of Series F-1944 and Series G-1944, and may subscribe to 2 % % Treasury Bonds of 1965-70 and 2 %
Treasury Bonds of 1952-54 during the period June 12 to July 8, 1944. The total amount of any such subscriptions by a commercial bank, together with the total amount of any other subscriptions it may have
entered for its own account for (a) Savings Bonds of Series F-1944 or Series G-1944 since January 1, 1944,
(b) 2i/ 2 % Treasury Bonds of 1965-70 or 2*4% Treasury Bonds of 1956-59 between January 18 and February 15, 1944, and (c) 2 % Treasury Bonds of 1952-54 or the additional issue of 2 1 /2% Treasury Bonds of
1965-70 between June 12 and July 8, 1944, may not exceed, in the aggregate, 20% of the combined amount
of its savings deposits, and time certificates of deposit issued in the names of individuals, and of corporations, associations and other organizations not operated for profit, as shown on its books as of the date
of the most recent call statement required by the supervisory authorities, or $400,000 (issue price), whichever is less. In any event, a bank m^y not purchase more than $100,000 (issue price) of Savings Bonds
of Series F-1944 and Series G-1944 combined, including any bonds of such series previously purchased. If
20% of a bank's savings deposits and eligible time certificates of deposit is an odd amount, the aggregate
amount of its subscriptions may be adjusted to the next highest $1,000. Commercial banks may subscribe
for their own account to Treasury Savings Notes, Series C*, in any amount. However, subscriptions to
* Any such notes purchased by commercial banks bear interest only if used in the payment of Federal taxes.

/ Page 3

any of these issues entered by commercial banks for their own account will be considered outside the goal
of 16 billion dollars and will not be credited to any quota.
Except for the subscriptions in limited amounts in relation to savings deposits and time certificates
of deposit, the 2 ^ % Treasury Bonds of 1965-70 may not be held by commercial banks for their own account
before February 1, 1954.
The Treasury has requested that there be no trading in any of the marketable securities and no purchases of such securities other than on direct subscription until after July 8, 1944. Commercial banks may
acquire 2% Treasury Bonds of 1952-54, 1y±°/o Treasury Notes of Series B-1947 or % % Treasury Certificates
of Indebtedness of Series C-1945 for their own account in the open market after July 8, 1944.

Receipt of applications for securities and submission of subscriptions
During the drive, banking institutions will receive applications on forms provided by the State War
Finance Committees for securities to be purchased for account of customers and others. These forms should
not be forwarded to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York but should be retained by the banking institution. In cases of applications for Series E War Savings Bonds, the banking institution should issue the
bonds directly; in cases of applications for any other securities, the banking institution should submit to the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York a subscription on the appropriate subscription form furnished by the
Federal Reserve Bank.
Subscriptions for
Treasury Bonds of 1965-70, 2% Treasury Bonds of 1952-54, l1,4% Treasury
Notes of Series B-1947, and 7/s% Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness of Series C-1945, for account of
customers may be submitted only by banking institutions. Security dealers, brokers, savings and loan associations and others may not enter subscriptions to such issues for account of customers except through
banking institutions.
Subscriptions for Treasury Savings Notes of Series C for account of customers may be submitted by
banking institutions and security dealers.
Subscriptions for Series E War Savings Bonds may be filled directly by any organization duly authorized to issue such bonds. Subscriptions for Series F and Series G Savings Bonds for account of customers
may be submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank by any banking institution or by any other organization
authorized to issue Series E bonds.
In order to permit the full use of War Loan Deposit Accounts and to minimize the amount of accrued
interest payable, customers and others should be encouraged to submit their subscriptions through banking institutions. Where this is not feasible, however, a purchaser may submit a subscription for his own
account directly to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Subscriptions submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York should be made on the official
forms furnished by it. The appropriate forms for use in subscribing to each type of security offered,
are as follows:

A sample of each of these forms is enclosed; additional supplies will be furnished to all banking institutions in the Second Federal Reserve District in advance of the opening of the Fifth War Loan Drive.
Since the limited subscriptions by commercial banks for their own account to 2 T r e a s u r y Bonds of
/ Page 4

1965-70, 2% Treasury Bonds of 1952-54, and United States Savings Bonds of Series F-1944 and Series
6-1944 are considered outside the goal of the drive, copies of Form No. 7 to be used in entering such subscriptions will be sent under separate cover to all commercial banks in the district about June 1, 1944.
Payment for securities
Subscriptions must be accompanied by payment in full.
Banking institutions qualified as special depositaries of public moneys under Treasury Department
Circular No. 92 (Revised) may pay the full purchase price (both principal and accrued interest) of any
securities subscribed for during the drive by credit to their War Loan Deposit Accounts. Credit for the purchase price of the 2 y 2 % Treasury Bonds of 1965-70, the 2 % Treasury Bonds of 1952-54, the 1 % % Treasury
Notes of Series B-1947 and the % % Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness of Series C-1945, may be entered
in a War Loan Deposit Account on or after June 12, 1944, the date of the opening of the drive. Qualified
depositaries are urged to make full use of their War Loan Deposit Accounts.
A banking institution qualified as a special depositary of public moneys, which receives an application
for United States Government securities accompanied by a check payable to the order of the Treasurer
of the United States or to the order of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as fiscal agent of the United
States, may endorse such check as follows:
For credit to War Loan Deposit Account
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Fiscal Agent of the United States
in payment for U. S. Government securities
(Name of Bank)
and credit the proceeds of such check to its War Loan Deposit Account in payment for the securities.
Checks drawn in substantially similar forms, such as to the order of ' ' Secretary of the Treasury", " United
States Treasury", ' ' W a r Finance Committee", or "Federal Reserve Bank", may be handled in the same
manner. In any such case, the War Loan Deposit Account should not be credited and the subscription
should not be submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank (or, in the case of Series E War Savings Bonds, the
bonds should not be delivered) until the banking institution is satisfied that the check has been paid in
actually and finally collected funds.
Any member bank of the Federal Reserve System or any nonmember clearing bank may pay for securities by authorizing a charge to the reserve account or nonmember clearing account maintained by it with
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Any banking institution may pay for securities by check. Checks should be drawn by the banking
institution either to the order of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or to the order of the Treasurer
of the United States. Checks payable to the order of others will not be accepted even though they are
endorsed to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or to the Treasurer of the United States.
If payment for more than one issue is made by charge to a reserve or nonmember clearing account
or by check, it is desirable that a separate authorization to charge such account or a separate check be
submitted for each issue.
Calculation and payment of accrued interest
The 2i/ 2 % Treasury Bonds of 1965-70, the 2 % Treasury Bonds of 1952-54, the 1 % % Treasury Notes
of Series B-1947, and the % % Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness of Series C-1945 will be sold at par
plus accrued interest from June 26 to the date payment is received ~by the Federal Eeserve Bank, except
that accrued interest is waived on $500 and $1,000 subscriptions to the 2*4% Treasury Bonds of 1965-70
and the 2% Treasury Bonds of 1952-54. One day's accrued interest per $1,000 on each of the issues is
as follows:

The date on which payment is received by the Federal Reserve Bank will depend upon the method by
which payment for the subscription is made by the banking institution, that is:
If payment is made by credit to a War Loan Deposit Account, payment is considered received on
the date the account is credited; and accrued interest should be paid to that date.
If payment is made by charge to a reserve account or nonmember clearing account maintained with
the Federal Reserve Bank, payment is considered received on the date the authorization to charge
the account is received by the Federal Reserve Bank; and accrued interest should be paid to that date.
If payment is made by check drawn on the Federal Reserve Bank, accrued interest should be
paid to the date such check is received by the Federal Reserve Bank.
If payment is made by check drawn on a bank other than the Federal Reserve Bank, accrued
interest should be paid to the date on which funds in payment of such check will be available to the
Federal Reserve Bank in the normal course of collection.
A savings bank may minimize the amount of accrued interest on subscriptions submitted for its
own account or for account of customers by entering such subscriptions through its correspondent bank
and making arrangements for the correspondent to pay by credit to its War Loan Deposit Account.
No accrued interest is payable on subscriptions for Savings Bonds of Series E, F or G or Treasury
Savings Notes of Series C. Where subscriptions for such securities are submitted to the Federal Reserve
Bank at the end of the month, it is important that the following instructions be observed in order to assure
the issuance of the securities dated as of the first day of that month:
If payment is made by credit to a War Loan Deposit Account, the credit should be entered not
later than the last business day of the month, and the subscription form and advice of such credit
should be mailed to the Federal Reserve Bank on the day of entry.
If payment is made by charge to a reserve account or nonmember clearing account maintained
with the Federal Reserve Bank, the subscription form and authorization to make such charge should
be received by the Federal Reserve Bank not later than the last business day of the month.
If payment for Savings Bonds is made by check, the subscription form and check should be
received by the Federal Reserve Bank not later than the last business day of the month.
If payment for Treasury Savings Notes is made by check, the subscription form and the check
should be received by the Federal Reserve Bank in sufficient time so that the proceeds of collection of the check will be available to the Federal Reserve Bank in finally collected funds not later than
the last business day of the month.
Registration of securities
In all cases, the registration should express the true ownership of the security, that is, full legal title
with complete power of disposition; registration is not permitted in the name of an agent, nominee or
attorney-in-fact.
The registration of securities in the name of a woman should include the prefix Miss or Mrs., and the
Christian name of a married woman should be given, e.g. "Mrs. Mary B. Doe", not "Mrs. John A. Doe".
The regulations regarding the registration of United States Savings Bonds differ from those regarding the registration of other Government securities.
United States Savings Bonds of Series E, F and G are not transferable and are issued in registered form
only. The permissible forms of registration for each series are set forth in detail in Subpart B of Treasury
Department Circular No. 530, Fifth Revision, as amended, which appears on pages 22 and 23 of this
circular.
/ Page 6

The 2y2% Treasury Bonds of 1965-70 and the 2% Treasury Bonds of 1952-54 are issued in either
registered or coupon form. Such bonds may be registered in the name o f —
one individual, e.g. "Mrs. Mary B. D o e " ;
two individuals as coowners without right of survivorship, e.g. " J o h n A. Doe or Mrs. Mary B. Doe,
or either of t h e m " ;
two individuals as joint owners with right of survivorship, e.g. " J o h n A. Doe and Mrs. Mary B. Doe,
or the survivor";
a corporation, e.g. "Smith and Jones, Inc., a corporation";
a partnership, e.g. "Smith & Doe, a partnership";
an unincorporated association, lodge, society, or similar body, e.g. " T h e Lotus Club, an unincorporated
association";
a fiduciary, e.g. " J o h n A. Smith, trustee under will of John B. Doe, deceased";
a custodian of public funds, e.g. "Treasurer, City of Buffalo, New Y o r k " .
In all cases, the complete post-office address (including the postal unit number, if any) of the registered
owner should be given in order to assure the proper mailing of interest checks.
The ly^fo Treasury Notes of Series B-1947 and the % % Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness of
Series C-1945 are issued in bearer form only.
Treasury Savings Notes, Series C, are not transferable and are inscribed in the name of a single owner.
Notes may be inscribed in the name of an individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association
or society, fiduciary, town, city, county or other governmental body. Notes which the purchaser expects to
use in making payment of Federal estate, income or gift taxes should be inscribed in the exact form used by
the purchaser in making Federal tax returns. Where two individuals make a joint tax return, the notes
should be inscribed in the name of one of them. Notes inscribed in the name of a partnership or other
entity, which is not a Federal taxpayer, are not acceptable in payment of taxes.
If questions arise concerning forms of registration not specifically covered by this summary or by the
following Treasury circulars, it is suggested that they be referred directly to the Federal Reserve Bank.
Subscriptions by security dealers and brokers
As in the case of the Fourth War Loan Drive, dealers and brokers in securities are requested to limit
the amount of their subscriptions, in the drive, to the amount of securities which they will be able to retail
to customers, other than commercial banks, for investment after the drive has closed, plus the amount
required for the investment of their own funds to the extent these are, and are expected to continue to be,
idle. Generally speaking, the volume of purchases for subsequent resale to customers should be small regardless of the size of the investment firm, as most customers will have ample opportunity to subscribe during
the drive.
Purchase of securities for resale
It is the Treasury's aim to obtain during the drive the maximum investment of funds of individuals
and other nonbank investors, and to avoid unnecessary redistribution of securities in the Government
security market following the close of the drive. Persons other than security dealers and brokers are
advised, therefore, that the practice of entering subscriptions for such securities with the intention of selling them during the period immediately following the close of the drive is not consistent with the Treasury's
objectives.
Loans to purchase securities
In keeping with the Treasury's objective to sell as many securities as possible to investors other than
commercial banks, all banking institutions have been requested by the Treasury to decline to make speculative loans for the purchase of Government securities. On the other hand, the Treasury favors banks making
loans to facilitate permanent investment in Government securities if such loans are made in accord with
the joint statement issued by the National and State bank supervisory authorities in November 1942, which
reads in part as follows:
' ' In connection with Government financing, individual subscribers relying upon anticipated income
may wish to augment their subscriptions by temporary borrowings from banks. Such loans will not be
subject to criticism but should be on a short term or amortization basis fully repayable within
periods not exceeding six months."
Limitations on amount of purchases
The limitations affecting subscriptions by commercial banking institutions and security dealers and
brokers for their own account are set forth on pages 3 and 7, respectively. There is no limitation on the
amount of subscriptions by any other eligible investor for the 2 y 2 % Treasury Bonds of 1965-70, the 2 %
Treasury Bonds of 1952-54, the 1 y±% Treasury Notes of Series B-1947, the % % Treasury Certificates of
Indebtedness of Series C-1945, or the Treasury Savings Notes, Series C.
In the case of War Savings Bonds of Series E, the amount of bonds of such series issued during any
one calendar year (January 1—December 31) that may be held by any one person at any one time is
limited to $5,000 (maturity value). Additional holdings are permitted, however, in certain circumstances
where bonds are registered in coownership form. In the case of Series E bonds so registered, no excess

/ Page 7

exists if in a particular group of coowners the holdings are such that the entire amount held can be allocated among the several coowners without apportioning an aggregate amount in excess of $5,000 (maturity
value) to any one person, including any amount chargeable to that person individually. For example, if
a married man with two children has already purchased in 1944 $5,000 maturity value of Series E bonds
registered in his own name, and his wife and children are not named as the registered owners or coowners of
any Series E bonds issued in 1944, lie may purchase an additional $15,000 maturity value of such bonds
registered as follows: $5,000 in his name with his wife as coowner, $5,000 in his name with one child as
coowner, and $5,000 in his name with the other child as coowner. In such circumstances, the man as the
sole owner of $5,000 maturity value and as a coowner of $15,000 maturity value of bonds would be entitled
under the regulations to redeem all or part of such bonds without obtaining the signature of any of the
other coowners.
The amount of Savings Bonds of either Series F or Series G, or of the combined aggregate of both,
issued during any one calendar year (January 1—December 31) that may be held by any one person
(other than a commercial bank), whether registered in his name individually or as a coowner, at any one
time is $100,000 (issue price).

Subscriptions to be entered where funds are located
The respective State quotas making up the 16 billion dollar goal for nonbanking subscriptions in the
Fifth War Loan Drive are based in large measure upon the location of bank deposits. For this reason, and
to avoid disturbances to bank reserve positions which might otherwise occur through unnecessary shifts of
deposit balances from one locality to another, or from one institution to another, subscribers to Government
securities should enter their subscriptions through the banks where the funds to be used in payment are
located. A transfer of funds for the purpose of entering a subscription elsewhere not only constitutes a
possible disturbance to bank reserve positions but customarily involves substantial and unnecessary work.
Such a transfer serves no proper purpose which cannot be accomplished by a statistical allocation of credit
for the sale. In order to make transfers of funds unnecessary, the Treasury has established the procedure
described below under which credit for sales may be allocated to other localities upon appropriate request
by the purchasers.

Geographical distribution of credit for sales
Credit for sales of Series E War Savings Bonds will be given to the county in which the issuing agent
is located, except that sales of such bonds issued directly by the Federal Reserve Banks and the Office of
the Treasurer of the United States will be credited according to the addresses of the registered owners.
In the absence of a specific request for allocation elsewhere, credit for sales of 2 y 2 % Treasury Bonds
of 1965-70, 2 % Treasury Bonds of 1952-54, 1*4% Treasury Notes of Series B-1947, % % Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness of Series C-1945, and Treasury Savings Notes, Series C, will be given to the counties
indicated by the addresses of the purchasers appearing on the subscription forms received by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, except that in the case of subscriptions for such issues entered in New York
City for account of nonbanking corporations other than insurance companies credit will be given to the
counties in New York City in which such subscriptions are entered. Credit for sales of Savings Bonds of
Series F and Series G will be given to the counties indicated by the addresses of the registered owners.
If a purchaser desires that credit for the sale of any security except a Series E War Savings Bond be
allocated to a county or counties other than the county to which credit would be given under the provisions
of the preceding paragraph, a request for such allocation should be filed with the Federal Reserve Bank at
the time the related subscription is filed. No allocation, however, may be made in respect of any sale to an
insurance company; such a sale will be credited to the county in which the head office of the company is
situated.
JRequests for allocations of credits for sales may be made only on Form RA and such requests must
accompany the related subscriptions when filed with the Federal Reserve Bank. The form should be prepared in quadruplicate, the first three copies to be transmitted to the Federal Reserve Bank and the fourth
to be retained by the subscribing bank as its record. Copies of Form R A have been furnished to all banking
institutions in the Second Federal Reserve District, and additional copies will be supplied to any interested
person in the Second Federal Reserve District upon request to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Credits will be reported by counties. If a purchaser desires to distribute credit among several communities within a single county, the total credit will be given to the county and arrangements should be
made by the purchaser directly with the county chairman of the War Finance Committee for distribution
of the credits within the county in the manner desired. A request for allocation of credit to a county outside the Second Federal Reserve District will be reported through the Federal Reserve System to the Chairman of the War Finance Committee in the State involved.
Detailed reports of sales credited to counties in the Second Federal Reserve District, will be submitted
daily by the Federal Reserve Bank to the Chairman of the War Finance Committee in each of the States
in the District. In view of the emphasis being placed upon sales to individuals, the amount of sales to
purchasers other than individuals will not be made public until after June 26. Any questions regarding
local qiiotas or sales credits, including credits expected to be allocated to counties in the District, should be
referred to the War Finance Committee.

DEPARTMENT,

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,

Washington, August SI, 1943.

I. OFFERING OF U N I T E D STATES SAVINGS BONDS OF SERIES E
1. The Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to the authority of the Second Liberty Bond Act, as amended, offers
for sale, to the people of the United States, United States Savings Bonds of Series E, currently designated War
Savings Bonds, which may hereinafter be referred to as bonds of Series E, and their sale will continue until terminated by the Secretary of the Treasury. Bonds of a new design, without change in terms, will be provided for issue
hereunder in regular course without further notice as stocks of the prior bonds of Series E become exhausted.
2. United States Savings Bonds of Series E include all bonds issued as Defense Savings Bonds under this circulai
is originally published, and all those issued as War Savings Bonds under this circular as previously or as now revised.
A.s their terms are identical, no distinction is to be made between any bonds of Series E so issued.
II. DESCRIPTION A N D T E R M S OF BONDS)
1. Bonds of Series E will be issued only in registered form, in denominations of $25, $50, $100, $500, and $1,000
(maturity values), at prices hereinafter set forth. Each bond will bear the facsimile signature of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and will bear an imprint (in red) of the Seal of the Treasury. At the time of issue, on the face of each
bond the issuing agent will inscribe the name and address of the owner, and the name of the coowner or beneficiary,
if any, will enter the issue date (which is the first day of the month in which payment of the issue price is received
by the Treasury or an authorized issuing agent), and will imprint his dating stamp (to show date the bond is actually
inscribed). Bonds of Series E shall be valid only if duly inscribed and dated, as above provided, and delivered by the
Treasury or an authorized issuing agent following receipt of payment therefor.
2. The bonds will, in each instance, be dated as of the first day of the month in which payment of the issue price
is received by an agent authorized to issue the bonds, which date is hereinafter referred to as the issue date; the bonds
will mature and be payable at face value 10 years from such issue date. The issue date is the basis for determining
the redemption or maturity period of the bond, and the date appearing in the issuing agent's stamp should not be
confused therewith. The bonds may not be called for redemption by the Secretary of the Treasury prior to
maturity, but they may be redeemed prior to maturity, after 60 days from the issue date, at the owner's option, at
fixed redemption values. No interest as such will be paid on the bonds, but they will increase in redemption value
at the end of the first year from issue date, and at the end of each successive half-year period thereafter until
their maturity, when the face amount becomes payable. The increment in value will be payable only upon redemption of the bonds. A table of redemption values appears on each bond. The purchase price of bonds of Series
E has been fixed so as to afford an investment yield of about 2.9 percent per annum compounded semiannually if
the bonds are held to maturity; if the owner exercises his option to redeem a bond prior to maturity the investment yield will be less. The table at the end of this circular shows: (1) How bonds of Series E, by denominations, increase in redemption value during the successive half-year periods following issue; (2) the approximate
investment yield on the issue price from issue date to the beginning of each half-year period; and (3) the approximate investment yield on the current redemption value from the beginning of each half-year period to maturity at the
end of the 10-year period.
3. Bonds of Series E will not be transferable, and will be payable only to the owner named thereon, except in
case of death or disability of the owner or as otherwise specifically provided in the regulations governing savings
bonds, and in any event only in accordance with said regulations. Accordingly, after they are duly issued they may
not be sold, discounted, hypothecated as collateral for a loan or the performance of a service, or disposed of in any
manner other than as provided in the regulations governing savings bonds, and, except as provided in said regulations,
the Treasury Department will recognize only the inscribed owner, during his lifetime, and thereafter his estate or heirs.
4. TAXATION.—For the purpose of determining taxes and tax exemptions, the increment in value represented by
the difference between the price paid for bonds of Series E (which are issued on a discount basis), and the redemption
value received therefor (whether at or before maturity) shall be considered as interest, and such interest is not
exempt from income or profits taxes now or hereafter imposed by the United States.1 The bonds shall be subject to
estate, inheritance, gift, or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but shall be exempt from all taxation now
or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United States,
or by any local taxing authority.

Savings Bonds issued on a discount basis (including bonds of Series E ) , and alternate methods of reporting such interest, see Internal Revenue
Mimeograph, Coll. No. 5299, R . A . No. 1177, dated December 17, 1941. For credits on account of Victory T a x , see Internal Revenue Regulations

the owner and the name of the coowner or beneficiary, if any, will enter the issue date (which is the
first day of the month in which payment of the issue price is received by the Treasury or an authorized
issuing agent), and will imprint his dating stamp (to show the date the bond is actually inscribed).
Bonds of Series F and Series G shall be valid only if duly inscribed and dated, as above provided, and
delivered by an authorized agent following receipt of payment therefor.
2. The bonds of each series will, in each instance, be dated as of the first day of the month in
which payment of the issue price is received by an agent authorized to issue the bonds, which date
is herein referred to as the issue date; the bonds will mature and be payable at face value 12 years
from such issue date. The issue date is the basis for determining the redemption or maturity period
of the bond, and the date appearing in the issuing agent's stamp should not be confused therewith.
The bonds of either series may not be called for redemption by the Secretary of the Treasury prior
to maturity, but they may be redeemed prior to maturity, after 6 months from the issue date, at
the owner's option, at fixed redemption values.
3. Bonds of Series F will be issued on a discount basis at 74 percent of their maturity value. No
interest as such will be paid on the bonds, but they will increase in redemption value at the end of the
first year from issue date, and at the end of each successive half-year period thereafter until their
maturity, when the face amount becomes payable. The increment in value will be payable only upon
redemption of the bonds. A table of redemption values appears on each bond. The purchase price
of bonds of Series F has been fixed so as to afford an investment yield of about 2.53 percent per
annum compounded semiannually if the bonds are held to maturity; if the owner exercises his option
to redeem a bond prior to maturity the investment yield will be less.
4. Bonds of Series G will be issued at par, and will bear interest at the rate of 2y 2 percent per
annum, payable semiannually from issue date. Interest will be paid by check drawn to the order of

/ Page 13

the registered owner. Interest will cease at maturity, or, in case of redemption before maturity, at
the end of the interest period next preceding the date of redemption. A table of redemption values
appears on each bond, and the difference between the face amount of the bond and the redemption
value fixed for any period represents an adjustment (or refund) of interest. Accordingly, if the
owner exercises his option to redeem a bond prior to maturity, the investment yield will be less than
the interest rate on the bond. Bonds of Series G may be redeemed at par, in whole or in part, (1)
upon the death of the owner, or a coowner, if a natural person, or (2) as to bonds held by a trustee
or other fiduciary, upon the death of any person which results in termination of the trust. If the
trust is terminated only in part, redemption at par will be made only to the extent of the pro rata
portion of the trust so terminated, to the next lower multiple of $100. In any case request for
redemption at par must be received by the Treasury Department, Division of Loans and Currency,
Merchandise Mart, Chicago 54, Illinois, or by a Federal Reserve Bank or Branch within 4 months
after the date of death and in accordance with the regulations governing savings bonds.
5. Tables at the end of this circular show separately for bonds of Series F and those of Series 6 :
(1) The redemption values, by denominations, during the successive half-year periods following
issue, (2) the approximate investment yield on the issue price from issue date to the beginning of
each half-year period, and (3) the approximate investment yield on the current redemption value
from the beginning of each half-year period to maturity at the end of the 12-year period.
6. Bonds of Series F and Series G will not be transferable, and will be payable only to the owner
named thereon, except in case of death or disability of the owner or as otherwise specifically provided
in the regulations governing savings bonds, and in any event only in accordance with said regulations. Accordingly they may not be sold, discounted, hypothecated as collateral for a loan or the performance of a service, or disposed of in any manner other than as provided in the regulations governing savings bonds, and, except as provided in said regulations, the Treasury Department will
recognize only the inscribed owner, during his lifetime and competency, and thereafter his estate or
heirs.
7. Taxation.—For the purpose of determining taxes and tax exemptions, the increment in
value represented by the difference between the price paid for bonds of Series F (which are issued
on a discount basis), and the redemption value received therefor (whether at or before maturity)
shall be considered as interest, and that interest and interest on bonds of Series G, are not exempt
from income or profits taxes now or hereafter imposed by the United States.1 The bonds shall be
subject to estate, inheritance, gift, or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but shall be
exempt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State,
or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority.
III. PURCHASE OF BONDS

its customers up to any amount for which it shall be qualified in excess of existing deposits, when
so notified by the Federal Reserve Bank of its district.

T o O W N E R S OP UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS, AND OTHERS CONCERNED:

Department Circular No. 530, Fourth Revision, Dated April 15, 1941 (6 F. B. 2191), as amended, is hereby further amended
and issued as a Fifth Revision to read as follows:
The following regulations governing United States Savings Bonds are published for the information and guidance of all
concerned:
Subpart A—APPLICABILITY
See. 315.1. Applicability of regulations.—These regulations apply generally to all United States Savings Bonds of all series
of whatever designation and bearing any issue dates whatever except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
Subpart B—REGISTRATION
Sec. 315.2. General.—United States Savings Bonds will be issued only in registered form. The name and complete post office
address of the owner, as well as the name of the coowner or designated beneficiary, if any, and the date as of which the bond is issued
will be inscribed thereon at the time of issue by an authorized issuing agent.1 The form of registration used must express the
actual ownership of and interest in the bond and, except as otherwise specifically provided in these regulations, will be considered
as conclusive of such ownership and interest. The Treasury Department can recognize no notices of adverse claims to savings
bonds and will enter no stoppages or caveats against payment in accordance with the registration of the bonds. No designation of
an attorney, agent or other representative to request or receive payment on behalf of the owner, nor any restriction on the right
of such owner to receive payment of the bond, other than as provided in these regulations, may be made in the registration or
otherwise.
Sec. 315.3. Restrictions.—Only residents (whether individuals or others) of the United States (which for the purposes of
this section shall include the territories, insular possessions and Canal Zone), citizens of the United States temporarily residing
abroad, and nonresident aliens employed in the United States by the Federal Government or an agency thereof, may be named as
owners, coowners or designated beneficiaries on bonds originally issued on or after April 1, 1940, or on authorized reissues thereof:
Provided, however, That on original issues of bonds, but not on reissues, a nonresident alien (not a citizen of an enemy nation)
may be named as coowner or designated beneficiary, and Provided further, That a nonresident alien, whether owner, coowner or
beneficiary succeeding to title on the death of the owner, or succeeding to title upon the death of a surviving coowner or beneficiary,
will be entitled only to request and receive payment either at or before maturity.'
Sec. 315.4. Authorised forms of registration, Series E.—Bonds of Series E may be registered only in the names of individuals
(natural persons), whether adults or minors, in their own right in one of the following forms of registration:
( o ) ONE PERSON: In the name of one person, for example:
" J o h n A. Jones."
(6) Two PERSONS—COOWNERSHIP FORM: In the names of two (but not more than two) persons in the alternative as coowners, for example:
" J o h n A. Jones OB Mrs. Ella S. Jones."
No other form of registration establishing coownership is authorized.
(o) Two PERSONS—BENEFICIARY FORM: In the name of one (but not more than one) person, payable on death to one (but
not more than one) other person, for example:
" J o h n A. Jones, payable on death to Miss Mary E. Jones."
"Payable on death t o " may be abbreviated as " p . o. d . " The first person named is hereinafter referred to as the owner
or registered owner, and the second person named as the beneficiary or designated beneficiary. If it is desired that
a bond revert to the United States upon the death of the owner as a donation, it may be registered in the name of the
owner with the Treasurer of the United States named as beneficiary.
The full name of the owner and that of the coowner or beneficiary, if any, should be used and should be the name by which the
person is ordinarily known and under which he does business; if there are two given names the initial of one may be used, and
if a person is habitually known and does business by initial only of his given names, registration may be in such form. The name
may be preceded by any applicable title such as ' ' D r . " , " R e v . ' e t c . , and in the case of women should be preceded by ' ' Mrs.'' or
" M i s s " . A married woman's own name should be used, not that of her husband, for example, " M r s . Mary A. Jones", not " M r s .
Frank B. Jones". A minor, whether or not under legal guardianship, may be named as owner or coowner if the bonds are purchased as a gift to him and a minor may name a coowner or beneficiary on bonds purchased by him from his wages, earnings or
other money in his possession; but bonds purchased by a parent or guardian with funds already belonging to a minor must be
registered in the minor's name alone without the addition of a coowner or beneficiary. If a person named in the registration of
the bond is under legal disability and a guardian or similar representative of his estate has been appointed by a court or is otherwise
legally qualified, the registration should indicate such facts by the addition of appropriate words, for example, " F r a n k Jones, a
minor under legal guardianship of Henry Smith". Bonds should not be registered in the name of a person under disability for
reasons other than minority unless a legal representative of his estate has been appointed.
Sec. 315.5. Authorized forms of registration, Series F and G.—Bonds of Series F or G may be registered in the names of individuals in their own right as set forth in Sec. 315.4 above, and subject to the same conditions as therein set forth. Bonds of these
1 T h e date of maturity is also inscribed on Savings Bonds of Series A , Series B , and Series D .
2 Under the terms of Executive Order N o . 8389, as amended, and the regulations issued thereunder, bonds may not be issued or paid to national*
(as defined in said Order) of blocked countries or to nationals of enemy countries, whether or not residing in the United State*, unless »uch nationals
are generally or specially licensed under the terms of the Order.

/ Page 22

two series may also be registered ill the names of fiduciaries, corporations, associations or partnerships, except that they may be
registered in the names of commercial banks, which are defined for this purpose as those accepting demand deposits, only to the
extent and under the conditions set forth in Section 315.9 ( c ) hereof. The following forms are authorized for such registration:
( a ) Executors, administrators, guardians, etc.—In the name of one or more executors, administrators, guardians, conservators or other representatives of a single estate appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise legally
qualified, all of whose names must be included in the registration, followed by adequate identifying reference to the
estate, for example:
" J o h n Smith, executor of the will (or administrator of the estate) of Henry J. Smith, deceased", or " W i l l i a m
C. Jones, guardian (or conservator, etc.) of the estate of James D. Brown, a minor (or an incompetent)".
If a guardian or other legal representative holds a common fund for the account of two or more estates or wards,
bonds should be registered in the name of the representative for each such estate or ward separately, even though
the representative was appointed in a single proceeding. A father or mother, as such, or as natural guardian, is not
considered a fiduciary for purposes of registration.
(b)

Trvstees.—In the name or names of one or more trustees or other fiduciaries of a single duly constituted trust estate,
which will be considered as an entity, followed by adequate identifying reference to the trust instrument or other
authority creating the trust, for example:
" J o h n C. Brown and the First National Bank, trustees under the will of Henry C. Brown, deceased", or " T h e
Second National Bank, trustee under an agreement with George E. White, dated February 1, 1935".

The names of all trustees must be given, unless they are too numerous, act as a board, or hold office for a limited period
of time. Registration may be in the title without the names of the trustees in the case of unincorporated lodges,
churches, societies or similar organizations, title to whose property is held by trustees, and in the case of public officers,
corporations or bodies acting as trustees under express authority of law, for example:
"Trustees of the First Baptist Church, Akron, Ohio, an unincorporated association", or "Treasurer of the
State of Nebraska, in trust for the policyholders of X Corporation, under Section
of Nebraska Statutes".
If the instrument or other authority creating the trust establishes a board of trustees acting as a board and not as
individuals, registration may be in the name of the board as such, for example:
" B o a r d of Trustees for the State Hospital for the Insane, under Section
of Nebraska Statutes".
Registration may not be made in the names of trustees under a statute, regulation, agreement, or other instrument purporting to create a trust where the funds used represent merely security for the performance of a duty or obligation.
( c ) Pension or retirement funds, etc.—Registration may be made in the names and title, or title alone, of trustees of a pension
or retirement fund or of an investment, savings, insurance, annuity, or similar fund or trust, but in all such cases the
fund will be regarded as an entity regardless of the number of beneficiaries or the manner in which their respective
interests are established or determined. Segregation of individual shares as a matter of bookkeeping or as a result
of individual agreements with beneficiaries will not operate to constitute separate trusts under these regulations.
(d) Private corporations and associations.—In the name of any private organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated
(except that bonds originally issued prior to January 1, 1944, may not be registered in the name of a commercial bank
as hereinbefore defined), using in each case the full legal name of the organization without mention of any officer or
member but making reference, if desired, to a particular bookkeeping account or fund (not a trust), as follows:
( 1 ) A private corporation, followed by the words " a corporation," for example: " S m i t h Manufacturing Company,
a corporation";
(2) An unincorporated association, lodge, church or society, or similar body, followed by the words " a n unincorporated association," for example: " T h e Lotus Club, an unincorporated association." The term " a n unincorporated association" should not be used to describe a trust fund, a partnership or a business conducted
under a trade name;
( 3 ) A partnership, considered as an entity, followed by the words " a partnership," for example: "Smith and
Brown, a partnership."
(e)

States and public corporations.—In the full legal name or title of the owner or custodian of public funds, other than
trust funds, as follows:
( 1 ) Any sovereignty, as a State, or any public corporation, as a county, city, town or school district, for example: " S t a t e of M a i n e " , or " T o w n of Rye, New Y o r k " .
(2) Any board, commission or other public body duly constituted by law, for example: "Maryland State Highway
Commission'
(3) Any public officer designated by title only, for example: "Treasurer, City of Chicago".

Registration may include reference to a particular bookkeeping account, if desired.
(/) Schools.—Registration is not authorized in the name of an unincorporated or public school, or class or activity tnereor.
Bonds held for the benefit of such school, class or activity should be registered in the name of a school principal or
other school officer, as trustee, by title only, for example: "Principal, Western High School, in trust for Class of 1940
Library F u n d " ; a written agreement of trust will not be required in cases of small amounts.
Sec. 315.6. Unauthorized registration.—Savings
bonds inscribed in a form not substantially in agreement with those authorized by this subpart will not be considered as validly issued and will be accepted only for a refund of the purchase price, except
in those cases in which reissue can be made under the provisions of these regulations.
Sec. 315.7. Forms of registration on reissue.—Bonds reissued under the provisions of these regulations may be reissued in
any form of registration permitted by the regulations in effect on the date of original issue.

Subpart C—LIMITATION ON TRANSFER
Sec. 315.8. Not transferable.—United
States Savings Bonds are not transferable and are payable only to the owners named
thereon except in case of the disability or death of the owner or as otherwise specifically provided herein, but in any event only in
accordance with the provisions of these regulations. Accordingly, savings bonds may not be sold or hypothecated as collateral
for a loan and may not be used as security for the performance of an obligation except as expressly provided in these regulations.

Page 23

Subpart D—LIMITATION ON HOLDINGS
Sec. 315.9. Amount which may be held.—As provided by section 22 of the Second Liberty Bond Act, as added February 4,
1935 (U. S. C. 1940 Ed., title 31, section 757c), and by regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to the
authority of that section, as amended by the Public Debt Act of 1941, 55 Stat. 7, the amounts of savings bonds of the several series
issued during any one calendar year that may be held by any one person at any one time are limited as follows:
(a) Series A, B, C, and D—$10,000 (maturity value) of each series.
(Z>) Series E—$5,000 (maturity value).
(c) Series F and G—$50,000 (issue price) for the calendar year 1941, and $100,000 (issue price) for each calendar year thereafter, of either series or of the combined aggregate of both: Provided, however, That as to bonds of these series originally
issued on or after January 1, 1944, the amount held by a commercial bank holding savings deposits and issuing time certificates of deposit (as each is defined in Regulation Q of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) shall
not in any case exceed $100,000 (issue price) or 20 percent of such time certificates of deposit (but only those issued
in the names of individuals and of corporations, associations, and other organizations not operated for profit) and savings
deposits as shown on the bank's books as of the date of the most recent call statement required by the supervising authorities prior to the date of acquisition of such savings bonds, whichever is less; and Provided further, That the amount of
savings bonds of Series F and G originally issued on or after January 1, 1944, held by a commercial bank together with
2V'2 percent Treasury Bonds of 1965-70, subscribed for under Treasury Department Circulars Nos. 729 and 740, 2*4
percent Treasury Bonds of 1956-59, subscribed for under Treasury Department Circular No. 730, and 2 percent Treasury
Bonds of 1952-54, subscribed for under Treasury Department Circular No. 741, shall not exceed in the aggregate $400,000,
or 20 percent of such savings deposits and time certificates of deposit of such banks as above defined, whichever is less.
The term " p e r s o n " shall mean any legal entity, including but not limited to, an individual, a partnership, a corporation (public or private), an unincorporated association or a trust estate.
Sec. 315.10. Calculation of amount.—In computing the amount of savings bonds of any one series issued during any one
calendar year held by any one person at any one time for the purpose of determining whether the amount is in excess of the
authorized limit as set forth in the next preceding section, the following rules shall govern:
(а) The holdings of each person, as defined in the next preceding section, individually and in a fiduciary capacity, shall be computed separately.
( б ) In the case of bonds of Series A, B, C, D and E, the computation shall be based upon maturity values. In the case of
bonds of Series F and G, the computation shall be based upon issue prices.
(c) There must be taken into account: (1) all bonds originally issued to and registered in the name of that person alone;
(2) all bonds originally issued to and registered in the name of that person as a coowner or reissued to add his name as
coowner under the provisions of Section 315.29 (a), or to designate him as coowner instead of as a beneficiary under
the provisions of Section 315.35 hereof: Provided, however, That with respect to bonds of Series E held in coownership form, the amount thereof may be applied to the holdings of either of the coowners, but will not be applied to both,
or the amount may be apportioned between them; and (3) all bonds acquired by him before March 1, 1941, upon the
death of another or the happening of any other event.
( d ) There need not be taken into account: (1) bonds of which that person is merely the designated beneficiary; (2) those in
which his interest is only that of a beneficiary under a trust; or (3) those to which he is entitled as an heir or legatee
of the deceased registered owner, or by virtue of the termination of a trust or the happening of any other event imlesa
he became entitled to any such bonds in his own right before March 1, 1941.
(e) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to invalidate any holdings within or, except as provided in subsection (o)
above, to validate any holdings in excess of, the authorized limits, as computed under the regulations in force at the
time such holdings were acquired.
Sec. 315.11. Disposition of excess.—If any person at any time acquires savings bonds issued during any one calendar year in
excess of the prescribed amount the excess must be immediately surrendered for refund of the purchase price.
Subpart E—LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED, DEFACED OR DESTROYED BONDS
Sec. 315.12. Belief in case of loss, etc.—Under the provisions of the Government Losses in Shipment Act, relief either by the
issue of a substitute bond or by payment may be given in case of the loss, theft, destruction, mutilation or defacement of a savings
bond. In any such case immediate notice of the facts, together with a complete description of the bond (including series, year of
issue, serial number and name and address of the registered owner) should be given to the Treasury Department, Division of
Loans and Currency, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Illinois. The Department will thereupon furnish an appropriate form and full
instructions for presenting the evidence necessary to secure relief under the law and the regulations as contained in Department
Circular No. 300, as amended. If such bond is subsequently recovered immediate notice of such recovery should be given to the
Division of Loans and Currency (at the address above), in order that delay may be avoided upon a later presentation of the bond
for payment.
Subpart F—SAFEKEEPING FACILITIES
Sec. 315.13. Safekeeping of bonds.—Arrangements may be made for the safekeeping of a savings bond by the Treasury or
by a Federal Reserve Bank as fiscal agent of the United States. Application forms for safekeeping may be secured from postmasters, Federal Reserve Banks or the Treasury Department.
Subpart G—INTEREST
Sec. 315.14. General.—United States Savings Bonds are issued in two forms: (1) appreciation bonds, issued on a discount
basis and redeemable before maturity at increasing fixed redemption values; and (2) current income bonds, bearing interest
payable semiannually and redeemable before maturity at fixed redemption values less than the face amount of the bond. At
present Series G constitutes the only issue of current income savings bonds.
Sec. 315.15. Appreciation bonds.—No interest as such is paid on savings bonds issued on a discount basis. Such bonds increase
in redemption value at the end of the first year from issue date and at the end of each successive half-year period thereafter until
/ Page 24

their maturity, when the full amount becomes payable. The increment in vaiue represents interest and is payable only on redemption of the bonds, whether at or before maturity.
Sec. 315.16. Current income bonds.—Each such bond bears interest at a specified rate computed on the face amount of the
bond and payable semiannually, beginning six months from issue date. Except for redemption at par as provided in Sec.
315.18 ( c ) of Subpart H hereof, full advantage of interest at the rate specified may be secured only if the bonds are held to
maturity; if bonds are redeemed before maturity at current redemption values the difference between the face or full maturity
value and the current redemption value then payable in accordance with the table printed on the face of each bond, will represent an adjustment of interest for the rate appropriate for the shorter term, as set forth in the tables attached to the circular
announcing the issue of such bonds.
( а ) Method of interest payments.—Interest
due on current income bonds will be paid on each interest payment date by
check drawn to the order of the person or persons in whose name the bond is inscribed in the same form as their names
appear in the inscription on the bond, except that in the case of a bond registered in the form " A , " payable on death
to " B , " the check will be drawn to the order of A alone until the Treasury receives notice of A ' s death, from which
date the payment of interest will be suspended until such time as the bond is presented for payment or reissue. Interest
so withheld will be paid to the person entitled to payment of the bond, or in case of reissue to the person in whose name
the bond is reissued. Interest checks on bonds registered in the names of coowners will be mailed to the payee first
named at his address of record unless otherwise specifically directed.
( б ) Reissue during interest period.—If a current income bond is reissued for any reason between interest payment dates,
interest for the entire period will be paid, on the next interest payment date, by check drawn to the person in whose
name the bond is reissued. Ordinarily, if a bond is received for reissue less than a month prior to an interest payment
date, reissue cannot be effected until after such interest payment date.
( c ) Change of address.—Prompt notice should be given to the Treasury Department, Division of Loans and Currency, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Illinois, of any change of address by the owner of current income bonds. The notice should
refer to all bonds for which it is desired that the address be changed and should describe each bond by date, serial
number, series (including year of issue) and inscription appearing on the face of the bond.
(d) Termination of interest.—In case of redemption prior to maturity of current income bonds interest will cease on the last
day of the interest period next preceding the date of redemption. In case of partial redemption interest on the amount
redeemed will cease on the last day of the interest period next preceding the date of partial redemption, and interest
due thereafter will be paid only on the lower amount remaining after partial redemption.
(e) Consolidation of checks.—Whenever possible a single check will be issued on each payment date for interest on all current income bonds of a single series due to any owner on that date.
(/) Endorsement of checks.—Interest checks must be endorsed in accordance with the requirements of the Treasurer of the
United States, by the payees, either personally or by an attorney in fact, or in case of the death of the payee, by his
executor or administrator. Forms for the appointment of such attorney may be obtained from the Treasurer of the
United States or from any Federal Reserve Bank.

regulations, but only following presentation and surrender for that purpose with a request for payment duly signed and certified
as provided herein.
( а ) Series A, B, C, D and E.—A bond of Series A, B, C, D or E will be redeemed in whole or in part at any time after 60

written notice, and payment will be made as of the first day of the first month following by at least one full month
the date of receipt of notice by the Treasury Department or a Federal Reserve Bank. For example, if the request or
notice is received on June 15, the effective redemption date will be August 1. I f express notice is given, the bond must
be surrendered to the same agency to which the notice is given not less than fifteen days before the effective redemption date. (See Sec. 315.16 ( d ) for provisions as to interest in case current income bonds are redeemed prior to
maturity.)
(o) Series G—Redemption at par before maturity.—Subject to the provisions of the preceding subsection a bond of Series G
(but not of Series F ) will be redeemed at par before maturity, in whole or in part: ( 1 ) upon the death of the owner

whole or in part, by reason of the death of any person. If the trust is terminated only in part, redemption at par will
be made to the extent of not more than the pro rata portion of the trust so terminated and only in amounts corresponding to authorized denominations. Proof of death must be furnished and notice of intention to redeem at par before
maturity must be received by the Treasury Department or a Federal Reserve Bank within four months after the date
of death. Payment will ordinarily be made on the first available date: Provided, however, That payment will be postponed until the next interest payment date, upon request of the persons presenting the bond.
Sec. 315.19. Form and execution of requests for payment.—Requests for payment of savings bonds, unless otherwise authorized in a particular case, must be executed on the form appearing on the back of the bond to be surrendered and unless otherwise
specifically requested payment will be made pursuant to a duly executed request on the earliest day consistent with these regulations.
(a) Date of request.—Ordinarily requests executed more than six months before the date of receipt of a bond by a Federal

other than by marriage the request should be supported by satisfactory proof of such change, unless already on file.
No request signed in behalf of the owner or person entitled to payment by an agent or a person acting under a power
of attorney will be recognized by the Treasury Department except in those eases arising under Subpart R hereof.
( c ) Certification of request.—After the request for payment has been signed by the owner the certifying officer should complete and sign the certificate appearing at the end of the form for request for payment, and the bond should then be

presentation and surrender of the bond in accordance with this subpart. In any such case, before the request for payment is
signed there should be added to the first sentence of the request the words " t o the extent of $

Subpart I—MINORS AND PERSONS UNDER OTHER LEGAL DISABILITY
Sec. 315.25. Payment to legal guardians.—If the form of registration of a savings bond indicates that the owner is a minor
or has been judicially declared to be incompetent to manage his estate and that a guardian or similar representative has been
appointed for the estate of such minor or incompetent by a court having jurisdiction or is otherwise legally qualified, payment will
be made only to such guardian or similar legal representative. In such case the request for payment appearing on the back of the
bond should be signed by the guardian or other legal representative as such, for example, " J o h n A. Jones, guardian (committee) of
the estate of Henry W. Smith, a minor (an incompetent)." Unless the form of registration gives the name of the representative,
there must be submitted in support of the request a certificate or a certified copy of the letters of appointment from the court
making the appointment under the seal of the court, establishing that the appointment is in full force. Such certificate or certification (except in the case of corporate fiduciaries) should be dated not more than 6 months prior to the date of presentation of
the bond for payment. See Subpart M hereof for payment provisions applicable to bonds registered in the names of guardians
and similar fiduciaries. Where the form of registration does not indicate that the owner is a minor for whose estate a guardian
has been appointed, a notice that such guardian has been appointed will not be accepted by the Treasury for the purpose of preventing payment to the minor or his parent as provided in the two following sections.
Sec. 315.26. Payment to minors.—Unless the form of registration of a savings bond indicates that the owner is a minor for
whose estate a guardian or similar legal representative has been appointed or is otherwise duly qualified, payment will be made
direct to such minor, provided he is, at the time payment is requested, of sufficient competency and understanding to sign his name
to the request and to comprehend the nature of such act. In general the fact that the request for payment has been signed by a
minor and duly certified in accordance with Subpart H hereof will be accepted as sufficient proof of such competency and
understanding.
See. 315.27. Payment to parents of minors.—If the owner of a savings bond is a minor and the form of registration does not
indicate that a guardian or similar legal representative of the estate of such minor owner has been appointed or is otherwise
legally qualified, and if such minor owner is not of sufficient competency and understanding to execute the request for payment,
payment will be made to either parent of the minor with whom he resides, or if the minor does not reside with either parent, then
to the person who furnishes his chief support. The parent or such other person should sign the request for payment in his own
name, on behalf of the minor, in the form ' ' Mrs. Mary Jones, on behalf of John C. Jones,'' and should sign a certificate, in substantially the following form, which may be typed on the back of the bond:
" I certify that I am the
whom he resides. He is
sign this request."

(relationship) of John C. Jones and the person with
years of age and is not of sufficient competency and understanding to

If a person other than a parent signs the request on behalf of the minor he should also certify that the minor does not reside with
either parent and that he furnishes his chief support. The Treasury Department may in any particular case require further
proof that the minor is not of sufficient competency and understanding to execute the request for payment and of the right of the
person executing the request to act on behalf of the minor.
Sec. 315.28. Payment to voluntary guardian of person under disability.—In any case where the adult owner of a bond has
been judicially declared incompetent or such incompetency, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury, is otherwise established, and no duly qualified legal representative of his estate is acting, and the entire gross value of his personal estate does not
exceed $500, payment will be made to a member of his family or other person acting as voluntary guardian, upon presentation
of proof satisfactory to the Secretary of the Treasury that the proceeds of the bond are necessary for the purchase of necessaries
for the incompetent or for his wife or minor children or other persons dependent upon him for support. Applications for such
payment should be made only on appropriate forms, which may be obtained from the Treasury Department, Division of Loans
and Currency, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Illinois, or any Federal Reserve Bank. The request for payment should not be
executed, nor the bond presented, until the application has been approved and instructions have been given by the Treasury
Department.
Subpart J—SINGLE NAME—ADDITION OF COOWNER, ETC.
Sec. 315.29. Beissue for certain purposes.—A savings bond of any series registered in the name of one person in his own
right, or to which one person is shown to be entitled in his own right under these regulations, may be reissued upon appropriate
request for the following purposes:

/ Page 27

(a) Addition of coowner.—Reissue in the name of the owner with that of another natural person as coowner, provided that
bonds reissued in accordance with this subsection will be considered for the purposes of computation of holdings under
Subpart D of these regulations as originally issued in both names and no reissue will be effective which results in any
one person holding bonds in excess of the established limitation for the series to which the bonds belong. Requests for
reissue under this subsection should be made on Form PD 1762.
(b) Addition of a beneficiary.—Reissue in the name of the owner with the name of another natural person as designated
beneficiary. Applications for reissue under the provisions of this subsection should be made on Form PD 1077.
( c ) Reissue in living trust.—Reissue in the name of a trustee of a living trust created by the registered owner for his benefit
in whole or in part, during his lifetime whether or not containing an absolute power of revocation in the grantor; but
such reissue will be allowed only in the case of bonds of those series which may be originally issued in the name of a
trustee.
Sec. 315.30. Reissue upon request of a minor.—Reissues under the provisions of this Subpart will be made upon request of
owners, notwithstanding the fact that they are minors, provided they are of sufficient competency and understanding, and are under
no legal disability other than minority.
Sec. 315.31. Reissue only at Federal Reserve BanTcs and Treasury.—Reissues in accordance with the provisions of this Subpart may be made only at Federal Beserve Banks or at the Treasury Department. A coowner may be added only by reissue of the
bond. Federal Reserve Banks, however, may, in appropriate cases, add the name of a beneficiary to bonds already outstanding
without reissue, providing such addition is properly certified by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Subpart K—TWO NAMES—CO OWNERSHIP FORM
Sec. 315.32. Payment or reissue.—A savings bond registered in the names of two persons as coowners in the form " J o h n A.
Jones OR Mrs. Mary C. J o n e s " will be paid or reissued as follows:
(a) Payment during the lives of both coowners.—During the lives of both coowners the bond will be paid to either coowner upon
his separate request without requiring the signature of the other coowner; and upon payment to either coowner the other
person shall cease to have any interest in the bond. The bond will also be paid to both coowners upon their joint
request, in which ease payment will be made by check drawn to the order of both coowners in the form " J o h n A. Jones
and Mrs. Mary C. J o n e s ' a n d the check must be endorsed by both payees.
(b) Reissue during the lives of both coowners.—If one of the coowners is unmarried at the time of issue of the bond and subsequently marries, the bond may be reissued upon the request of both coowners to substitute the husband and wife as
coowners. Such request should be on a form provided for that purpose by any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch or by the
Treasury Department, Division of Loans and Currency, Merchandise Mart, Chicago 54, Illinois. No other reissue will be
permitted in any form during the lives of both coowners except as specifically provided in these regulations.
(c) Payment or reissue after the death of one coowner.—If either coowner dies without having presented and surrendered the
bond for payment to a Federal Reserve Bank or the Treasury Department, the surviving coowner will be recognized as
the sole and absolute owner of the bond, and payment will be made only to him: Provided, however, That if a coowner
dies after he has properly executed the request for payment and after the bond has actually been received by a Federal
Reserve Bank or the Treasury Department, payment of the bond, or check if one has been issued, will be made to his estate
(see Subpart P hereof). Upon proof of the death of one coowner and appropriate request by the surviving coowner
(unless a nonresident alien, in which case see Section 315.3) the bond will be reissued in the name of such survivor alone,
or in his name with another individual as coowner, or in his name payable on death to a designated beneficiary.
(d) Payment or reissue on death of both coowners in common disaster.—If both coowners die in a common disaster under such
conditions that it cannot be established, either by presumption of law or otherwise, which coowner died first, the bond
will be considered as belonging to the estates of both coowners, and payment or reissue will be made accordingly.
(e) Payment or reissue after the death of the surviving coowner.—If a surviving coowner who became solely entitled to the
bond under the provisions of subsection (c) of this section dies without having submitted the bond for payment or reissue,
the bond will be paid or reissued as though it were registered in the name of such last deceased coowncr alone. In this
case proof of the death of both coowners and of the order in which they died will be required.
Sec. 315.33. Place of reissue.—Beissues authorized in this Subpart will be made in accordance with the provisions of Subpart S hereof, but only at a Federal Reserve Bank or the Treasury Department, and applications for such reissues should be
made on forms provided for that purpose.
Subpart L—TWO NAMES—BENEFICIARY FORM
Sec. 315.34. Payment to registered owner.—A bond registered in the name of one person payable on death to another, for
example, " H e n r y W. Ash, payable on death to John C. B l a c k " , will be paid to the registered owner during his lifetime upon his
properly executed request as though no beneficiary had been named in the registration.
Sec. 315.35. Reissue during the lifetime of a registered owner.—A bond registered in the name of one person payable on death
to another may be reissued, on the duly certified request of the registered owner, to name a beneficiary designated on the bond as
coowner subject to the same restrictions and conditions contained in Section 315.29 (a). A bond may also be reissued upon the
duly certified request of the registered owner, together with the duly certified consent of the designated beneficiary, to eliminate
such beneficiary or to substitute another person as beneficiary, or to name another person as coowner. If the beneficiary should
predecease the registered owner, upon proof of such death and upon request of the registered owner the bond may be reissued in his
name alone or in his name with another individual as coowner, or in his name payable on death to a designated beneficiary.
Requests should preferably be made upon the forms provided for such purpose.
Sec. 315.36. Payment or reissue to beneficiary.—If the registered owner dies without having presented and surrendered the
bond for payment or authorized reissue to a Federal Reserve Bank or the Treasury Department, and is survived by the beneficiary,
upon proof of such death and survivorship, the beneficiary will be recognized as the sole and absolute owner of the bond, and it will
/ Page 28

be paid only to him at or before maturity, or (unless such beneficiary be a nonresident alien, in which case see Section 315.3) may
be reissued in his name alone, or otherwise reissued in accordance with Subpart J as though it were registered in his name alone:
Provided, however, That if the bond with a properly executed request by the registered owner for payment or authorized reissue has
actually been received by a Federal Reserve Bank or the Treasury Department, payment of the bond, or check, if one has been
issued, will be made to the estate of the deceased owner in accordance with Section 315.49.
Sec. 315.37. Payment or reissue after death of the surviving beneficiary.—After the death of a surviving beneficiary who
became entitled under the provisions of this Subpart, the bond will be paid or (except in the case of a nonresident alien) reissued
in accordance with Subpart J as though it were registered in the name of the surviving beneficiary alone. In this case proof of
the death of both the registered owner and the beneficiary and of the order in which they died will be required.
Sec. 315.38. Conditions of reissue.—Reissue under this Subpart will be made in accordance with Subpart S hereof, but only
at a Federal Reserve Bank or the Treasury Department and applications for such reissue should be made on forms provided for
that purpose.
Subpart M—FIDUCIARIES
Sec. 315.39. Payment to fiduciaries.—A savings bond registered in the name of, or otherwise belonging to, a fiduciary estate,
will be paid to the fiduciaries of such estate upon their request. The request for payment must be signed by all acting fiduciaries,
except for payment at maturity, when a request by any one or more acting fiduciaries will be accepted, but payment will be made
to all. If the bond is registered in the names of individual fiduciaries of the estate who are still acting, no further evidence of
authority will be required. In other cases the request for payment must be supported by evidence as specified below:
(а) Fiduciaries—By title only.—If the bond is registered in the titles without the names of the fiduciaries, satisfactory proof
of the incumbency of the fiduciaries must be furnished, except in the case of public officers.

(a) Boards, committees, etc., as fiduciaries.—If the fiduciaries consist of a board, committee, commission, or public body, or
are otherwise empowered to act as a unit, a request for payment before maturity must be supported by a duly certified
copy of a resolution of the board or other body authorizing such action, except that in the case of a public board or
commission a request signed in its name by a duly authorized officer thereof will ordinarily be accepted without further
proof of the officer's authority. In any case the request must be signed in the name of the board or other body by an
authorized officer or agent thereof.
(d) Corporate fiduciaries.—If a public or private corporation or a political body, such as a State or county, is acting as a
fiduciary, a request for payment must be signed in the name of the corporation or other body, in the fiduciary capacity
in which it is acting, by an authorized officer thereof.
(e) Registration not disclosing trust.—If the form in which the bond is registered does not show that it belongs to a fiduciary estate or does not identify the estate to which it belongs, satisfactory proof of ownership must be furnished.
Sec. 315.40. Reissue in the name of a succeeding fiduciary.—If a person in whose name a savings bond is registered as a fiduciary has been succeeded as such fiduciary by another person, the bond will be reissued in the name of the succeeding fiduciary

(а) Distribution of trust estate in kind.—A savings bond to which a beneficiary of a trust has become lawfully entitled, in
whole or in part, under the terms of the trust, will be reissued in his name to the extent of his interest, as a distribution in kind, upon the request of the trustee or trustees and their certification that such person is entitled and has
agreed to reissue in his name: Provided, That if a trustee himself is so entitled in his own right, his request for reissue
in his name must be supported by an order of court or other satisfactory proof that he is so entitled, unless a cofiduciary joins in the request: Provided further, That if the form in which the bond is registered does not show that it
belongs to a trust estate, the request for reissue must be supported by satisfactory proof of ownership.
( б ) After termination of trust estate.—If the person who would be lawfully entitled to a savings bond upon the termination
of a trust does not desire to have such distribution to him in kind, as provided in the next preceding subsection, the
trustee or trustees should redeem the bond in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 315.39 hereof before the estate
is terminated. If, however, the estate is terminated without such payment or reissue having been made, the bond will
thereafter be paid to or reissued in the name of the person lawfully entitled upon his request and satisfactory proof of
ownership, supplemented, if there are two or more persons having any apparent interest in the bond, by an agreement
executed by all such persons.
(c)

Upon termination of guardianship estate.—A savings bond registered in the name of a guardian or similar legal representative of the estate of a minor or incompetent, if the estate is terminated during the ward's lifetime, will be reissued
in the name of the former ward upon the representative's request and certification that the former ward is entitled and
has agreed to reissue in his name, or will be paid to or reissued in the name of the former ward upon his own request,
supported in either case by satisfactory proof that his disability has been removed. Certification by the representative that a former minor has attained his majority, or that the legal disability of a female ward has been removed by
marriage, if the State law so provides, will ordinarily be accepted as sufficient, but if the disability is removed by court
order a duly certified copy of the order will be necessary. Upon the death of the ward a bond registered in the name
of his guardian or similar representative will be reissued in accordance with the provisions of Subpart P as though it
were registered in the name of the ward alone.

Sec. 315.42. Bonds held by trustee where reissue not authorized.—Savings bonds which by their terms or under the regulations in force at the time of their issue may not be registered in the name of a fiduciary may be held without change of registration
by a trustee or other fiduciary under the will of a deceased owner of the bonds, but will not be reissued in the name of the fiduciary. Upon proof of the appointment and authority of the fiduciary bonds so held will be paid to the fiduciary, or upon termination
of the trust will be reissued in the names of the persons entitled in their own right in accordance with the provisions of this
Subpart.

Subpart P—DECEASED OWNERS
Sec. 315.49. Payment or reissue on death of owner.—Upon the death of the owner of a savings bond, who was not survived by
a coowner or designated beneficiary and who had not during his lifetime presented and surrendered the bond to a Federal Reserve
Bank or the Treasury Department with a duly executed and proper request for an authorized reissue, the bond will be paid or
reissued as hereinafter provided. The provisions of this section shall also apply to savings bonds registered in the names of
executors or administrators except that proof of their appointment and qualification may not be required. Established forms
for use in such cases and for requests for payment or reissue may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or from the Treasury Department, Division of Loans and Currency, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Illinois, and should be used in every instance.
(a) In course of administration.—If the estate of the decedent is being administered in a court of competent jurisdiction,
the bond will be paid to the duly qualified representative of the estate or will be reissued in the names of the persons
entitled to share in the estate upon the request of the duly appointed and qualified representative of the estate, who
should certify that the persons named are entitled to the extent specified for each and have consented to such reissue.
The request for payment or reissue should be signed in the form, for example, " J o h n A. Jones, administrator of the
estate (or executor of the will) of Henry W. Jones, deceased". Reissue will be made to the persons entitled in their
names alone, or with a coowner (provided no excess holdings will be created) or beneficiary upon appropriate request
by such persons. A request for payment or reissue must be supported by proof of the representative's authority. Such
proof may consist of a court certificate or a certified copy of the representative's letters of appointment issued by the
court having jurisdiction; the certificate, or the certification to the letters, must be under the seal of the court, must
contain a statement that the appointment is in full force, and should be dated within six months of the date of presentation of the bond for payment or reissue. If the representative is himself the person entitled and desires reissue in

joins in the request.

established to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Treasury either that the gross value of the personal estate does
not exceed $500, or that administration of the estate is not required in the State of the decedent's last domicile, the bond
will be paid to, or reissued in the name of, the persons entitled to share in the estate, without requiring administration,
pursuant to an agreement and request by them on the form prescribed by the Treasury Department and supported by
the evidence called for by that form: Provided, however, That reissue will not be made in the name of a creditor of
the estate. No payment or reissue will be permitted without administi ation if any of the persons entitled are minors
or incompetents, except to them or in their names, in whole or to the extent of their interests in the decedent's entire
personal estate, or upon compliance with the provisions of Subpart I hereof governing payment of savings bonds registered in the names of such persons.

owner's interest, or to the extent of the creditor's claim, whichever is smaller, through valid judicial proceedings: Provided, however, That no such proceedings will be recognized if they would give effect to an attempted voluntary transfer inter vivos of the
bond or would defeat or impair the rights of survivorship conferred by these regulations upon coowners and beneficiaries. Payment, or partial payment in an amount not in exeess of that to which the creditor is entitled, will be made upon presentation and
surrender of the bond with the request for payment duly executed, at the redemption value current 30 days after the proceedings
have become final, or current at the time the bond is presented for payment, whichever is earlier. No reissue of the bond will be
made to the creditor under the provisions of this section.
Sec. 315.52. Determination of interest as "between owner and coowner or beneficiary.—Conflicting claims as to ownership of
or interest in a savings bond, as between the registered owner and the coowner or the registered owner and a designated beneficiary
may be determined by valid judicial proceedings, in which case the bond upon surrender by the party requesting reissue may be
reissued in the names of the respective parties to the extent of their respective interests as determined by such proceedings, but
only in authorized denominations. The Treasury can accept no notices of pending judicial proceedings and cannot undertake to
protect the interests of litigants who do not have possession of the bonds.
Sec. 315.53. Evidence necessary.—To establish the validity of judicial proceedings there must be submitted a certified copy
of the judgment or decree of court and of any necessary supplementary proceedings, as well as a certificate from the clerk of the
court under the court seal, showing that the judgment or decree is in full force and effect and has become final under the laws of
the jurisdiction. The Secretary of the Treasury may in any case require such further information, documents and security as
he may deem necessary.
Sec. 315.54. Bankruptcy and insolvency.—Payment (but not reissue) of a savings bond will be made to a duly qualified trustee
in bankruptcy or receiver of the estate of the registered owner, adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, upon request for payment duly
executed by such trustee or receiver and supported by satisfactory proof of his appointment and qualifications.

In such cases an irrevocable power of attorney shall be executed authorizing the Secretary to request payment, and payment of the bond will, if it becomes
necessary, be made upon such request at the then appropriate redemption value. No pledge to a bond approving officer other
than the Secretary of the Treasury will be permitted. A savings bond may also be deposited as security with a Federal Reserve
Bank under the provisions of Department Circular No. 657 by an institution certified under that circular as an issuing agent for
savings bonds of Series E. In no other cases are savings bonds suitable for use as collateral, nor will a power of attorney to
request payment be recognized in any other case.

in the following instances and only in denominations and forms of registration authorized for the bonds surrendered:

DESCRIPTION

NOTES

1. General.—Treasury Savings Notes, Series C, will in each instance be dated as of the first day
of the month in which payment, at par, is received and credited by an agent authorized to issue the
notes. They will mature three years from that date, and may not be called by the Secretary of the
Treasury for redemption before maturity. All notes issued during any one calendar year shall constitute a separate series indicated by the letter " C " followed by the year of maturity. At the time
of issue the authorized issuing agent will inscribe on the face of each note the name and address of
the owner, will enter the date as of which the note is issued and will imprint his dating stamp (with
current date). The notes will be issued in denominations of $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000,
$100,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000. Exchange of authorized denominations from higher to lower,
but not from lower to higher, may be arranged at the office of the agent that issued the note.
2. Acceptance for Taxes or Cash Redemption.—If inscribed in the name of an individual, corporation, or other entity paying Federal estate, income or gift taxes, the notes will be receivable, subject to the provisions of Section I Y of this circular, at par and accrued interest, in payment of such
Federal taxes assessed against the owner or his estate. If not presented in payment of taxes, or if
not inscribed in the name of a Federal taxpayer, and subject to the provisions of Section V of this
circular, the notes will be payable at maturity or, at the owner's option and request, they will be
redeemable before maturity, at par and accrued interest.
3. Interest.—Interest on each $1,000 principal amount of Savings Notes, Series C, will accrue
each month from the month of issue, on a graduated scale, as follows:
First to Sixth months, inclusive
Seventh to Twelfth months, inclusive
Thirteenth to Eighteenth months, inclusive
Nineteenth to Twenty-fourth months, inclusive,
Twenty-fifth to Thirty-sixth months, inclusive.

$0.50 each month.
.80 each month.
.90 each month.
1.00 each month.
1.10 each month.

The table appended to this circular shows for notes of each denomination, for each consecutive calendar month from month of issue to month of maturity, (a) the amount of interest accrual, (&) the
principal amount of the note with accrued interest (cumulative) added, and (c) the approximate
investment yields. In no case shall interest accrue beyond the month in which the note is presented
in payment of taxes, or for redemption before maturity as provided in Section Y of this circular, or
beyond its maturity. Interest will be paid only with the principal amount,
4. Forms of Inscription.—Treasury Savings Notes, Series C, may be inscribed in the name of
an individual, corporation, unincorporated association or society, or a fiduciary (including trustees
under a duly established trust where the notes would not be held as security for the performance of
a duty or obligation), whether or not the inscribed owner is subject to Federal taxation. They may
also be inscribed in the name of a town, city, county or State or other governmental body and in the
name of a partnership, but notes in the name of a partnership are not acceptable in payment of taxes,
since a partnership is not a Federal taxpaying entity. The notes will not be inscribed in the names
of two or more persons as joint owners or coowners; or in the name of a public officer, whether or
not named as trustee, where the notes would in effect be held as security.

II. D E S C R I P T I O N O F B O N D S

1. The bonds now offered will be an addition to and will form a part of the series of 2y 2 percent
Treasury Bonds of 1965-70 issued pursuant to Department Circular No. 729, dated January 18, 1944,
an additional amount of which was issued pursuant to Department Circular No. 734, dated March
2, 1944; after the first interest payment date, September 15, 1944, the bonds now offered will be
freely interchangeable with the bonds of this series previously issued, and are identical in all respects
therewith except that interest on the bonds to be issued under this circular will accrue from June 26,
1944. The provisions of Section I of Department Circular No. 729 are hereby modified to accord
with Section I of this circular and, subject to such modification, and to the provision for accrual of
interest from June 26, 1944, on the bonds now offered, the bonds are described in the following quotation from Department Circular No. 729 :
" 1 . The bonds will be dated February 1, 1944, and will bear interest from that date at the
rate of 2y 2 percent per annum, payable on a semiannual basis on September 15, 1944, and thereafter on March 15 and September 15 in each year until the principal amount becomes payable.
They will mature March 15, 1970, but may be redeemed at the option of the United States on

days, on 4 months' notice of redemption given in such manner as the Secretary of the Treasury
shall prescribe. In case of partial redemption the bonds to be redeemed will be determined by
such method as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. From the date of redemption designated in any such notice, interest on the bonds called for redemption shall cease.

whether Federal or State, but shall be exempt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed on the
principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by
any local taxing authority.
" 3 . The bonds will be acceptable to secure deposits of public moneys. They will not be
entitled to any privilege of conversion.

interest, will be issued in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000 and $1,000,000. Provision will be made for the interchange of bonds of different denominations and of
coupon and registered bonds, and for the transfer of registered bonds, under rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Except as provided in Section I of this circular, these bonds may not, before February 1, 1954, be transferred to or be held by commercial
banks, which are defined for this purpose as banks accepting demand deposits; however, the
bonds may be pledged as collateral for loans, including loans by commercial banks, but any such
bank acquiring such bonds before February 1, 1954, 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.

estate, will be redeemed at the option of the duly constituted representatives of the deceased
owner's estate, at par and accrued interest to date of payment,1 Provided:

redemption to the payment of Federal estate taxes.
Registered bonds submitted for redemption hereunder must be duly assigned to ' ' The Secretary
of the Treasury for redemption, the proceeds to be paid to the Collector of Internal Revenue at

period, registered bonds received after the closing of the books for payment during such closed
period will be paid only at par with a deduction of interest from the date of payment to the next
interest payment date ;2 bonds received during the closed period for payment at a date after the
books reopen will be paid at par plus accrued interest from the reopening of the books to the date

For your information in connection with the Fifth War Loan Drive, which starts June 12, 1944,
the following material is set forth in this circular:
Announcement by the Secretary of the Treasury, released for publication April 3,1944.
Treasury Department Circular No. 740, dated June 12, 1944, with respect to an offering of 21/2 Percent
Treasury Bonds of 1965-70 (Additional Issue).
Treasury Department Circular No. 741, dated June 12, 1944, with respect to an offering of 2 Percent

Treasury Notes of Series B-1947.
Treasury Department Circular No. 743, dated June 12, 1944, with respect to an offering of % Percent
Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness of Series C-1945.
Subscriptions to be entered where funds are located
The respective State quotas marking up the 16 billion dollar goal for nonbanking subscriptions in
the Fifth War Loan Drive are based in large measure upon the location of bank deposits. For this
reason, and to avoid disturbances to bank reserve positions which might otherwise occur through
unnecessary shifts of deposit balances from one locality to another, or from one institution to another,
subscribers to Government securities should enter their subscriptions through the banks Avhere the
funds to be used in payment are located. A transfer of funds for the purpose of entering a subscription elsewhere not only constitutes a possible disturbance to bank reserve positions but customarily
involves substantial and unnecessary work. Such a transfer serves no proper purpose which cannot
be accomplished by a statistical allocation of credit for the sale. In order to make transfers of funds
unnecessary, the Treasury has established a procedure under which credits for sales may be allocated
to other localities upon appropriate request by the purchasers. Full information regarding such
procedure, and supplies of forms for use in requesting allocations of credits, have been furnished to
all banking institutions in the Second Federal Reserve District.
Submission of subscriptions
Subscriptions to any of such issues for account of customers may be submitted to us by banking
institutions only. Accordingly, security dealers, brokers, savings and loan associations and others
should enter subscriptions for account of customers through banking institutions. Where, however, it
is not feasible for a subscription to be entered through a banking institution, it may be submitted by
the purchaser directly to us.
Subscriptions should be submitted only on the appropriate forms provided by us, as follows:

Payment for securities and computation of accrued interest
Subscriptions must be accompanied by payment in full at par and accrued interest, if any. Each
such issue will be sold at par plus accrued interest from June 26 to the date payment is received by us,
except that accrued interest is waived on $500 and $1,000 subscriptions to the 2^2 Percent Treasury
Bonds of 1965-70 and the 2 Percent Treasury Bonds of 1952-54. One day's accrued interest per $1,000
on each of the issues is as follows:

% % Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness of Series C-1945
0.024
In the case of a subscription submitted through a banking institution, the purchaser should consult such institution regarding the amount of accrued interest payable. In the case of a subscription
submitted directly to us with a check in payment therefor, accrued interest should be paid to the date
on which funds in payment of the check will be available to us in the normal course of collection.
Subscriptions will be allotted in full.
Subscriptions by security dealers and brokers
As in the case of the Fourth War Loan Drive, dealers and brokers in securities are requested to
limit the amount of their subscriptions, in the drive, to the amount of securities which they will be
able to retail to customers, other than commercial banks, for investment after the drive has closed,
plus the amount required for the investment of their own funds to the extent these are, and are
expected to continue to be, idle. Generally speaking, the volume of purchases for subsequent resale to
customers should be small regardless of the size of the investment firm, as most customers will have
ample opportunity to subscribe during the drive.
Purchase of securities for resale
It is the Treasury's aim to obtain during the drive the maximum investment of funds of individuals and other nonbank investors, and to avoid unnecessary redistribution of securities in the Government security market following the close of the drive. Persons other than security dealers and
brokers are advised, therefore, that the practice of entering subscriptions for such securities with
the intention of selling them during the period immediately following the close of the drive is not consistent with the Treasury's objectives.
Loans to purchase securities
In keeping with the Treasury's objective to sell as many securities as possible to investors other
than commercial banks, all banking institutions have been requested by the Treasury to decline to
make speculative loans for the purchase of Government securities. On the other hand, the Treasury
favors bank loans to facilitate permanent investment in Government securities if such loans are made
in accord with the joint statement issued by the National and State bank supervisory authorities in
November 1942, which reads in part as follows:
' ' In connection with Government financing, individual subscribers relying upon anticipated
income may wish to augment their subscriptions by temporary borrowings from banks. Such
loans will not be subject to criticism but should be on a short term or amortization basis fully
repayable within periods not exceeding six months."
Period during which subscription books will remain open
The books for receipt of subscriptions to each such issue will open on June 12, 1944. The
Secretary of the Treasury has announced that the drive will run through July 8, 1944, but the right
is reserved to close the books as to any or all subscriptions at any time without notice.
Other issues offered during the drive
In addition to sales of the issues referred to above, which are available for subscription only during the Fifth War Loan Drive, all subscriptions f o r the following issues processed by the Federal
Reserve Banks or the Treasury Department from June 1 through July 31, 1944, will be included in
the totals for the drive:
United States War Savings Bonds of Series E
United States Savings Bonds of Series F and G
Treasury Savings Notes, Series C
Full information with respect to the terms of such securities and the methods of subscribing thereto
may be obtained from any banking institution or from any representative of the State War Finance
Committees. A summary regarding all the securities on sale during the drive is set forth on page 14
of this circular.

ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
regarding the
FIFTH WAR LOAN
Released for publication April 3, 1944

Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury, announced today that the Fifth War Loan
will start on June 12, and run to July 8. The goal will be $16,000,000,000, of which $6,000,000,000
is to come from sales of bonds to individuals.
"In the Fourth W a r Loan," the Secretary said, "individuals invested $5,300,000,000. In planning to get $6,000,000,000 of the Fifth W a r Loan's $16,000,000,000 goal in individual sales, we are
asking more than ever before from the American people. Fifth W a r Loan goals were set high
because the nation's Treasury must borrow a great deal of money this year to keep the war going.
W e will need more than twice as much as we can expect to get in taxes.
"Since January 1, 1944, the direct costs of the war have exceeded $23,000,000,000. With the
critical phases of the war still ahead of us, certainly no decline in expenditures is now in prospect.
For this reason the $16,000,000,000—all of which is to be raised from investors other than commercial
banks—is urgently needed."
The Secretary pointed out that the major emphasis throughout the entire period of the drive
will be placed on the quota of $6,000,000,000 for individuals.
During the period from June 12 to June 26, only sales to individuals will be reported by the
Treasury, although subscriptions will be received from all non-banking investors during the entire
period of the drive. The campaign to sell to individuals will be supplemented starting June 26 with
an intensive campaign to sell all other non-banking investors—the quota for which is $10,000,000,000.
All subscriptions for savings bonds and savings notes processed by the Federal Reserve Banks
or the Treasury between June 1 and July 31, 1944, will be credited to the drive.
The goal and the securities to be offered were determined by the Treasury after consultation
with a group of chairmen of the State W a r Finance Committees, officials of the Federal Reserve
System, a committee of the American Bankers Association and other investment authorities.
The securities, which will be sold under the direction of the State W a r Finance Committees,
are as follows:
Series E, F and G Savings Bonds
Series C Savings Notes
i y 2 Percent Bonds of 1965-70
2 Percent Bonds of 1952-54
I j i Percent Notes of 1947
Percent Certificate of Indebtedness.
The 2y 2 percent bonds to be offered in the drive will be an additional issue of the 2y 2 Percent Bonds of 1965-70 dated February 1, 1944, due March 15, 1970, callable March 15, 1965.
Although the .bonds of this issue are dated February 1, 1944, the interest on the bonds to be sold
during the drive will accrue from June 26. A special coupon will be attached to such bonds
covering interest that will accrue to September 15, 1944, the due date of the first coupon. The
bonds will be issued in coupon or registered form at the option of the buyers, in denominations
from $500 to $1,000,000. Commercial banks, which are defined for this purpose as banks accept-

/ Page 3

ing demand deposits, will not be permitted to own these bonds until February 1, 1954, except for
the limited investment of time deposits, as described below.
The 2 percent bonds will be dated June 26, 1944, due June 15, 1954, callable June 15, 1952,
and will be issued in coupon or registered form at the option of the buyers, in denominations of
$500 to $1,000,000.
The 1 Y\ percent notes will be dated June 26, 1944, due March 15, 1947, and will be issued in
denominations of $1,000 to $1,000,000 and in coupon form only.
The Y& percent certificates of indebtedness will be dated June 26, 1944, due June 1, 1945, and
will be issued in denominations of $1,000 to $1,000,000 and in coupon form only.
The Treasury will request that there be no trading in the marketable securities and no purchases of such securities other than on direct subscription until after the closing of the drive.
The procedure for handling subscriptions of dealers and brokers will be similar to that prescribed in the Fourth War Loan Drive.
T o avoid unnecessary transfers of funds from one locality to another, the Treasury again urges
that all subscriptions by corporations and firms be entered and paid for through the banking institutions where funds are located. This request is made to prevent disturbance to the money market
and the banking situation. The Treasury will undertake, as in the Fourth W a r Loan Drive, to see
that statistical credit is given to any locality for such subscriptions as the purchaser may request;
except that subscriptions from insurance companies will be credited to the State of the home office
as in the past.
In order to help in achieving its objective of selling as many securities as possible outside of
the banking system, the Treasury requests the cooperation of all banking institutions in declining
to make speculative loans for the purchase of Government securities. The Treasury is in favor
of the banks making loans to facilitate permanent investment in Government securities provided
such loans are made in accord with the joint statement issued by the National and State Bank
Supervisory Authorities on November 23, 1942.
Concurrently with the drive, but not as a part of it, commercial banks will be permitted to
subscribe to the 2 percent and 2y 2 percent bonds, as well as to Series F and Series G Bonds, in
limited amounts for the investment of their time deposits. The total limit on such purchases,
including those made for the same purpose in accordance with the formula announced by the
Treasury last December, will be 20 percent of the savings deposits and time certificates of deposit
issued in the names of individuals, or $400,000, whichever is less, for any one bank. The limitation of $100,000 on the amount of Series F or Series G Bonds, (Series 1944) or a combination of
the two, held by any one institution will remain unchanged. Purchases of securities made by commercial banks for the limited investment of time deposits will not be credited toward the goal of
the drive.

banks, which are defined for this purpose as banks accepting demand deposits; however, the
bonds may be pledged as collateral for loans, including loans by commercial banks, but any such

interest payment date ;2 bonds received during the closed period for payment at a date after the
books reopen will be paid at par plus accrued interest from the reopening of the books to the date
of payment. In either case checks for the full six months' interest due on the last day of the
closed period will be forwarded to the owner in due course. All bonds submitted must be accompanied by Form PD 1782,3 properly completed, signed and sworn to, and by a certificate of
the appointment of the personal representatives, under seal of the court, dated not more than six
months prior to the submission of the bonds, which shall show that at the date thereof the appointment was still in force and effect. Upon payment of the bonds appropriate memorandum
receipt will be forwarded to the representatives, which will be followed in due course by formal
receipt from the Collector of Internal Revenue.
1 An exact half-year's interest is computed for each full half-year period irrespective of the actual number of days in the half year.
For a
fractional part of any half year, computation is on the basis of the actual number of days in such half year.

INSTRUCTIONS

Complete information and permissible forms of registration will Ixfound in Treasury Department Circular No. 530, Fifth Revision, and amended.
Strict compliance with the terms of the circular will avoid delay in
issuing bonds.
For the general guidance of issuing agents accepting orders, United
States Savings Bonds of Series F may be registered as follows:

(1) In the names of natural persons (that is, individuals), in their own right, as
follows:
(a) In the name of one person;
(b) In the names of two (but not more than two) persons in the alternative as
coowners; or
(c) In the name of one person payable on death to one (but not more than one)
designated person.
(2) In the name of a private corporation followed by the words "a corporation", for
example: "Smith Manufacturing Co., a corporation." Bonds may not be registered in the name of a bank or trust company which accepts demand deposits
except when held by such bank or trust company in fiduciary capacity.
(3) In the name of an unincorporated association or other body followed by the
words "an unincorporated association," for example: "The Lotus Club, an unincorporated association." The term "an unincorporated association" should not
be used to describe a trust fund, a partnership or a business conducted under
a trade name.
(4) In the name of a partnership, considered as an entity, followed by the words
"a partnership", for example: "Smith Brown & Co., a partnership."
(5) In the name of any public officer designated by title only, for example:
"Treasurer, City of Chicago".
(6) In the name of one or more executors, administrators, guardians, committees,
conservators or other representatives of a single estate appointed by a court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise legally qualified, all of whose names must
be included in the registration, followed by adequate identifying reference to
the estate, for example:
"John Smith, executor of the will (or administrator of the estate) of Henry
J. Smith, deceased", or "William C. Jones, guardian (or committee, etc.)
of the estate of James D. Brown, a minor (or an incompetent)".
A father or mother, as such, or as natural guardian, is not considered a
fiduciary for the purposes of registration.

Registration is restricted to residents of the Continental United States,
the Territories and Insular Possessions of the United States, the Canal Zone,
the Philippine Islands, or citizens of the United States temporarily residing
abroad; provided, however, that a non-resident alien (not a citizen of an
enemy nation) may be named as coowner or designated beneficiary, but will
be entitled only to request and receive payment either at or before maturity.
The full name of the owner and that of the coowner or beneficiary, if
any, should be used and should be the name by which the person is ordinarily
known and under which he does business; if there are two given names the
initial of one may be used, or if a person is habitually known and does
business by initial only of his given names, registration may be in such form.
In the case of women, the name must be preceded by "Miss" or "Mrs." and
a married woman's own given name should be used, not that of her husband,
for example, "Mrs. Mary A. Jones", not "Mrs. Frank B. Jones".
The form of registration used must express the actual ownership of an

INSTRUCTIONS

Complete information and permissible forms of registration will be
found in Treasury Department Circular No. 530, Fifth Revision, and amended.
Strict compliance with the terms of the circular will avoid delay in
issuing bonds.
For the general guidance of issuing agents accepting orders, United
States Savings Bond of Series G may be registered as follows:

Registration is restricted to residents of the Continental United States,
the Territories and Insular Possessions of the United States, the Canal Zone,
the Philippine Islands, or citizens of the United States temporarily residing
abroad; provided, however, that a non-resident alien (not a citizen of an
enemy nation) may be named as coowner or designated beneficiary, but will
be entitled only to request and receive payment either at or before maturity.
The full name of the owner and that of the coowner or beneficiary, if
any, should be used and should be the name by which the person is ordinarily
known and under which he does business; if there are two given names the
initial of one may be used, or if a person is habitually known and does
business by initial only of his given names, registration may be in such form.
In the case of women, the name must be preceded by "Miss" or "Mrs." and
a married woman's own given name should be used, not that of her husband,
for example, "Mrs. Mary A. Jones", not "Mrs. Frank B. Jones".
The form of registration used must express the actual ownership of an
interest in the bonds; they may not be registered in the name of an agent,
attorney-in-fact or nominee.
C A U T I O N : Ownership in Savings Bonds of Series G, either alone or in combination
with those of Series F, is limited to $100,000 (cost price) originally issued in any
