More Money Than Ever Before Needed for 7th

’ WASHINGTON. D. C—Announcing plans for the 7th War Loan Payroll Savings Drive, Ralph G. Englesman, Director of Payroll Savings for the War Finance Division of the Treasury Dept., said today: “The Seventh War Loan will be one of the two great War Loans planned for 1945. More payroll money will have to be raised from individuals in this War Loan than ever before “That money is needed first, of course, to help pay for the War. Just as important, however, is the fact that with incomes up, employment high, and consumer goods scarce, it is vital that we tret every possible dollar over rock bottom expenses into War Bonds—-NOW., “More money than ever before is in the hands of the men ar.l women who work in the plants, o' ces. and shipyards of the country It is the plan of the Seventh War Loan to pay particular attention to the sale of E Bonds to workers through the medium of the Payroll Savings Plan. This advance drive will start early in April and all payroll allotments plus extra cash or increased allotment sales made in the months of April, May and June and processed between April 9th and Julv 7th will count in the Seventh War Loan totals. “Each company has been asked to accept a Seventh War Loan quota for sales to employees. This quota is based on the average wage scale of a company and \represents its share of the overall hational objective. “This advance Seventh War Loan drive which starts in the plants, offices, and shipyards in April is a crucial test. Management and labor must urge every worker throughout the country to buy Bonds with the last possible cent he or she has available “Only in this way can we reach the great quotas which have been assigned.
