Deur Sir•
Legislation just approved by
Congress and signed by the Pre-
sident has made U. S. Savings
Bonds a better bay in every way.
New E and H Bonds earn higher
interest; older ones automatically
receive an increase for the re-
maining period to maturity; and
all E Bonds now carry an auto-
matic 10-year extension privilege
The attached editorial was pre-
pared by the editorial staff of the
Washington Evening Star. It is
offered for your consideration,
and you are at liberty to use it
with or without credit.
You may already have used an
editorial on the new Savings
Bond rate. Is so, this may suggest
an idea for a follow-up. We face
a tremendous job in acquainting
the American public with the
new and better Savings Bond,
and your assistance toward that
end is invaluable.

Greer County lies at the base
of the East side of the Texas Pan-
handle between the forks of Red
River.
For many years people in that
county did not know whether
they were part of Texas or Okla-
homa.
The trouble goes back to the
treaty between the United States
and Spain fixing Red River as
boundary at a time when Texas
Panhandle area was unexplored
wild Indian territory.
They did not even know Red
River had two forks.
In 1852, Captain R. B. Marcy
discovered two forks of the river
and attempted to locate on the
ground the 100 meridian fixed in
the old treaty as the northern
boundary of Spanish territory.
And his location caused the
trouble.
Attorney General Will Wilson,
currently fighting another boun-
dary battle, that of the tidelands
suit before the U. S. Supreme
Court, pin-points the controver-
sy.
“If the 100th meridian csossed
below or downstream from the
river’s forking then the land be- lated how the federal government

'Border Battles' of Texas History
A. H. Jones and
Brown, contract government sur-
veyors, located their first boun-
dary monument on the north
bank of the south fork of Red
River. They were convinced that
the meridian crossed Red River
50 miles west of the Junction of
the forks.
The land in between seemed
irrevocably headed for dispute.
The Texas legislature jumped
into the middle of the issue and
created a county out of the en-
tire disputed area, Indians and
all. That was in 1860.
The same year saw the begin-
ning of the war between the
states. The boundary dispute
took a back seat until 1885 when
Congress officially recognized
the controversy and appointed of-
ficers to join with Texas repre-
sentatives in ascertaining the
point.
Any chance of this commis-
sion’s anything seemed doomed
from the word go. Representing
the United States were four ar-
my officers whose luggage con-
sisted primarily of foregone con-
clusions, misconceptions of their
function and a bag full of court
martial tricks.
“They came to Texas with
nothing to offer In the way of an
agreement and they left the same
way,” Wilson observed.
