Treasury race to raise 209 million for veterans loans
Washington March 18 AP demands of World War II veterans for loans press the treasury to raise 209 million dollars in under a month. Veterans Administrator Hines says loan checks will soon flow at a rapid pace, with weekly totals rising as new machinery starts. Mellon notes a potential need for 500 million to cover the 1,372,000 applications through March 15, though earlier estimates suggested 300 million would suffice. Hines warns 1 billion may be needed to repay all loans, with 75 percent of certificate holders likely to borrow half their certificates’ face value. He estimates 90 million this week and 100 million weekly the next three weeks. Loans already totaled 104 million for 282,874 veterans. Checks issued surged from March 7 to March 15, totaling about 16,000 versus 100,000 previously. Officials warn about reaching a 200,000 weekly loan rate unless brakes are applied.
