STILL HOPE TO REACH QUOTA

Cheers Leaders.

A last minute speed up in bond buying today gave war finance committee officials hope that the state and Marion county might go over the top in the “Mighty Seventh” war loan.

Although today was the deadline for market issues, bonds which are processed in Federal Reserve banks or postmarked by midnight next Saturday will be included in 7th war loan totals. Official totals will be announced July 19. William H. Trimble, chairman of the county war finance committee, said the county today is at 87 percent of its $33,000,000 quota for individual purchases. The state has reached 92 per cent of its $167,000,000 goal.

Tabulation Behind

He added that these figures did not represent a true picture, since tabulation has fallen behind actual sales in the last-minute flurry of bond buying. He pointed out that bond buyers have stood in lines all week to make purchases; adding, “We know that if bond buying: continues through next week at the level fit has achieved during this last week, the county is sure to make its goal.” Signs that Indianapolis men and women were taking to’ heart the possibilities of their first failure in a war loan also were evident today, Mr. Trimble said. Employees of Marmon-Herring-ton plant, who already had reached 150 per cent of the plant's quota, yesterday began figuring what additional sums would be needed to convert their payroll savings accumulation into bonds by today.
