Show Secretary Calls In 4th Liberty Bonds Henry Morgenthau, secretary of the treasury, at his offices in Washington, has issued a call for fourth liberty bond loans, with a partial redemption, on April 15. Public notice was given October 12, 1933, that all outstanding outstand-ing fourth liberty loan bond, bearing bear-ing serial numbers which end in 9, 0, or 1, are called for redemption on April 15, on which date interest will, cease. The treasury head also announces an-nounces that holders of such bonds as mentioned are offered the privilege of exchanging their called bonds at par for a new issue of interest-bearing obligations of the United States, to be dated April 1G, 1934. Ira Overfelt, vice-president and cashier for the Gunnison Valley bank, was advised by wire Tuesday morning morn-ing by Secretary Morgenthau to call attention to anyone locally holding the bonds with the serial ending in either 9, 0, or 1, to act promptly. It is pointed out that a great many holders of the bonds in small denominations denom-inations are doubtjess unaware of the advantages of the exchange offered, thus missing the opportunity of selling sell-ing now at a substantial premium. The fourth liberty loan bonds bearing bear-ing serial numbers other than those designated are not included in or effected ef-fected by the call for redemption on April 15, and such uncalled bonds may not be presented for payment on the date stated, or for exchange for the new issue.
