I N T E R E S T O N FEDERAL. F U N D S (4) A report from the University's Comptroller that the Comptroller General of the United States recently has ruled t h a t all interest accruing on Federal funds turned over to such institutions as the University of Illinois is the property of the United States and must be set aside and paid into the United States Treasury by the respective institutions. This ruling means t h a t the interest paid to the University of Illinois by the depository bank of its Treasurer which is applicable to balances on hand in Federal funds must be paid into the United States Treasury instead of being turned in as general income of the University which has been the case in the past. The Land Grant College Association is preparing to protest, but until the ruling is changed the University must be prepared to turn over this interest.
