Famed Peruvian Singer
Detained Entry to U.S.
By N.Y. Immigration
NEW YORK, WV-Yma Sumac,
the part-Indian Peruvian singer,
was detained by immigration
authorities when she arrived yes
terday from Europe and then was
paroled to the Peruvian consul
general.
Edward J. Shaughnessy, district
immigration director, would not
say what the trouble was, and the
singer and her husband, composer
Moists Vivanco, said they were at
a loss to explain it.
The couple speculated some
complaint may have been lodged

fessional jealousy.”

We were just trying to keep our Country
strong and prepared when we bought our
first Defense Bonds. Those were the un
easy days of 1941, thirteen years ago this
month.
It was only after V-J Day that we began to
realize that we were doing far more with
our Bond buying than lending our Coun
try cash for the war effort. Here’s what we
saw happening:
All over America new homes were be
ing built with Bonds. Farms were pro
ducing more crops with Bond-bought
machinery. Sons and daughters were
getting extra schooling. And the dream
of owning a business of his own was
coming true for many a man who had
Bonds to give him a start,
i U. S. Savings Bonds have helped Ameri
cans save on a scale brand new in history
—a record unmatched anywhere in the
i whole world!
Today more Bonds are held in our
hands than ever before in the history
of these thirteen years — thirty-seven
billion dollars worth of them!
Last year we bought 22% more Bonds
than the year before; and the figures show
that we are holding our Bonds for maxi
mum return—three-fourths of all matured
E Bonds are still being held at interest by
their original owners.
Yes, it’s a happy anniversary story for
America’s Bond buying habit.
If you’re not already buying Bonds—
fry the easy Payroll Savings Plan
Save any sum you wish—a couple of dol
lars a payday or as much as you can spare.
You never miss the money because it’s
saved for you—before you even get your
check. And when enough has accumulated,
it’s automatically invested in a Series E
Bond, in your name, and the Bond turned
over to you. Then your savings begin earn
ing you an average 3% interest, com
pounded semiannually, when the Bonds
are held to maturity!
The Savings Bond Habit Brings Happy Returns—Buy more in ’54!
