FOR RELEASE, MORNING NEWSPAPERS, Friday, December 15, 1944. TREASURY DEPARTMENT Washington The Secretary of the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders for $1,200,000,000, or thereabouts, of 91-day Treasury bills, to be issued on a discount basis under competitive and fixed-price bidding as hereinafter provided. The bills of this series will be dated December 21, 1944, and will mature March 22, 1945, when the face amount will be payable without interest. They will be issued in bearer form only, and in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000 (maturity value). Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches up to the closing hour, two o'clock p.m., Eastern war time, Monday, December 18, 1944. Tenders will not be received at the Treasury Department, Washington. Each tender must be for an even multiple of $1,000, and the price offered must be expressed on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e. g., 99.925. Fractions may not be used. It is urged that tenders be made on the printed forms and forwarded in the special envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks or Branches on application therefor. Tenders will be received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in investment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by payment of 2 percent of the face amount of Treasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust company. Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which public announcement will be made by the Secretary of the Treasury of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those submitting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to these reservations, tenders for $200,000 or less from any one bidder at 99.905 entered on a fixed-price basis will be accepted in full. Payment of accepted tenders at the prices offered must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank in cash or other immediately available funds on December 21, 1944. The income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, shall not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills shall not have any special treatment, as such, under Federal tax Acts now or hereafter enacted. The bills 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. For purposes of taxation the amount of discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States shall be considered to be interest. Under Sections 42 and 117 (a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by Section 115 of the Revenue Act of 1941, the amount of discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold shall not be considered to accrue until such bills shall be sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss. Treasury Department Circular No. 418, as amended, and this notice, prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch. I n a c c o r d a n c e with the a b o v e announcement tenders will be received at the Securities Department o f this bank ( 9 t h floor, 33 L i b e r t y S t r e e t ) N e w Y o r k 7, N .

PAYMENT OF UNITED STATES SAYINGS BONDS Claims for Reimbursement for Services To all Incorporated Banks and Trust Companies in the Second Federal Reserve District Qualified to Make Payments in Connection with the Redemption of United States Savings Bonds: In accordance with the provisions of Section 321.5 of Treasury Department Circular No. 750, which appears at page 6 of our Circular No. 2834, dated September 5, 1944, you are entitled to receive reimbursement for your services in paying United States Savings Bonds forwarded to us in each calendar quarter (ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31), according to the following scale: 15 cents each for the first 1,000 bonds 12 cents each for the second 1,000 bonds 10 cents each for all over 2,000 bonds. Each branch or facility at which bonds are paid may be regarded as a separate entity for the purpose of computing claims for reimbursement, provided the bonds paid by each are separately scheduled and accounted for. Subagents, however, may not be considered as separate entities for this purpose. A supply of forms for use in submitting your claims for reimbursement is enclosed. The date on which paid bonds are forwarded to us in proper form will govern the rate and amount of reimbursement. Accordingly, in stating the number of bonds paid by you during the calendar quarter, you should take into consideration the total number of bonds included on each of your transmittal letters bearing a date and mailed within the quarter, regardless of when the bonds are received by us. Bonds which we return to you f o r correction or adjustment should be deducted from the totals of your transmittal letters, and should not be counted in your claim for reimbursement until the date of your transmittal letter with which the bonds are forwarded to us in proper form. Any bonds which you are not authorized to pay under Treasury Department Circular No. 750 and which must be forwarded to us for redemption may not be included in your claim. Any bonds included in your transmittal letters forwarded to us on or before the last business day of the calendar quarter, which must be returned to you for correction or adjustment, will be received by you not later than the tenth day of the month following the close of the quarter. In order that your claim for reimbursement may be in proper form and all return items deducted, we suggest that you do not file the claim before the tenth of the month following the close of the quarter. If you are located in the territory assigned to our Buffalo Branch, your claim should be forwarded to the branch. ALLLAN" SPROUL, President. SAV.
