servation director says mi’lions of
acres of farm and ronge lands in
West Texas suffered irreparable
wind damage Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
He said West TeKas acreage took
the worst beating of the current
blowing season; in some instances,
in the memory of residents.
Dust and sand out visibility at
many points to near zero.
Winds of up to 60 miles an hour
have blown soil from young cotton
plantings in the lower El Paso Val-
ley irrigation sector, and Merrill
said tender stands also have been
damaged by sand whipping along
the ground and piling up in cotton
furrows.

Only "hard lands" in the area
escaped extensive damage.
From El Paso to Van Horn, blow-
ing dust and sand was so bad at
times that highway traffic was
forced to halt, assistant regional
Director W. B. Allred reported. He
said young cotton stands on sandy
soil in the -irrigated valley were
being destroyed by blowing.
The nearly bare range in that
section has suffered Ms worst blow
damage in more than 30 years, All-
red said.
Sandy lands—soil with high lime
content took the worst beating in
the area north and west of Big
Spring. Field agent W. S. Goodlett
predicted addition "large aere
ages" would suffer moderate, to
severe damage as" a result.
"Listed (furrowed) lands which
resisted winds in recent months
are no longer able to stand.up to
the attack and are steadily break-
ing down," Goodlett said.
Merrill said areas bearing the
brunt of the wind damage included
those around Tahoka. Midland and

ATO Interest was shown in buying government bonds at 3 per cent
n interest.. If this issue had been offered at that figure, says Mr.
Burgess, i would not have sold.
Furthermore, the government had to offer this bond issue on a
25-to-30-year basis. A 15-year issue was not Considered practical
• because the Treasury has a number of other obligations maturing
in 1968. The burden of refinancing in 1968 had to be kept down.
The alternative to issuing this longdfirm bond issue at 3 V per
cent would have been “to print" a lot of new money, as Mr. Burgess
calls it, by selling securities to the banks.
That is the way the government raised much of its new money
in recent years And according to one theory, that is what is re-
sponsible for the rise in prices and the devaluation of the dollar.
Instead of printing new money, the. Treasury was trying to find
investors with a lot of old money saved up, and to get these people
to buy government bonds
Te effect of this will be to cut down the amount of money
available for other purposes It is hoped this will force some
people who may be wanting to borrow money to postpone their
operations. This is exactly what the Treasury wants.
IPHE purpose is not to force prices down, nor to force wages down.
- Mr Burgess maintains. The spending power of the dollar can
be maintained, he believes, but a little bit of the fat in the economy
can be trimmed off. .....
The effect of this is expected to be to protect the value of the
savings some 75 to 80 million people have in life insurance policies
and the 50 million people who own U. S savings bonds. It is also
intended to help the people with money in savings accounts whose
interest payments have been held down, and the people living on
pensions. ‘ . u .
Just because this one government bond issue had to be sod at
3% per cent interest is no reason why all subsequent bond issues
will have to be floated at higher interest rates. And it is no reason
why all other interest rates on private mortgages or government"
. insured home loans and. G.l. loans will have to be increased.
The chances are fair, says Mr. Burgess, that the Treasury will
be borrowing at lower rates within the next two years. Whatever
the future Interest rates may be, they will be determined by money
market conditions at the time and by government’s money needs

\Y7 ASHINGTON—(NEA)—Commonest and most easily understood
W criticism of U. S. Treasury action in floating the latest billion-
dollar bond issue at 3% per cent interest is that it raises the bill
for government interest payments by $5 million a year.
Since one of the principal aims of the new administration is to
cut the costs of government operations and so save
question naturally arises as to why the Treasury did this tbins.
> W Randolph Burgess, New York banker now serving as deputy
secretary of Treasury, is the official who .took principal responsi-
bility for engineering this deal. ....
Mr. Burgess says the government didn’t arbitrarily set this in-
terest rate at a higher level just to give the inyestors a break. The
rate, he says, was determined by the crrrent market supply and
