Approves Increased Interest On Bonds WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House Ways and Means Committee today approved a watered down proposal to allow the Eisenhower administration to pay higher interest rates on government bonds. However, key members said they did not believe that the controversial legislation would reach the House floor before Congress adjourns for the year. One said the proposal is virtually dead. The committee vote behind closed doqrs was reported to have been 15-10. All 10 Republicans were understood to have supported the proposal. Democrats split 5 for the plan and 10 against. The government now cannot pay more than 4*4 per cent interest on bonds which mature in five years or more. The government no longer can find buyers for large amounts of bonds at that rate. President Eisenhower told his news conference today that an increase is vital. The proposal approved by the committee would allow the President to raise the interest rate for three years.
