Bond Drive Urged to Curb Inflation and Debt
Secretary Snyder urged a large peacetime bond selling drive and high taxes to reduce the debt. He testified before the House Banking Committee that restoring installment buying controls and funding a new bond push would soak up buying power and stabilize prices while pledging continued revenues to balance the budget. He warned a debt reduction this year is possible and stressed emphasis on payroll savings and individual bonds, with special attention to farmers.

Coast Guard Races To Aid Stricken Clarksdale Victory
An Alaska steamer and two Coast Guard cutters raced through predawn darkness to aid the grounded 10 850 ton Army transport Clarksdale Victory from which no word has been received since an SOS at 10 04 p m (PST) last night. Coast Guard authorities in Seattle and Ketchikan Alaska said they were seriously concerned over the transport's failure to answer messages. The stricken vessel grounded on a reef off Graham Island in the Queen Charlotte group about 140 miles southwest of Ketchikan and may have ripped her bottom out broken up or the crew of 49 have abandoned ship or the power plant is out of commission. The Clarksdale Victory was not carrying passengers.
