Washington, April 9-Melting into bullion of not more than 250,0OO,0O silver dollars now i'll the treasury for sale and export to pay trade bal ances, and repurchase of silver at S1 an ounce is proposed in an adminis- tration bill introduced today by Sen ator Pittman as an emergency war measure. Silver certificates would be withdrawn from circulation as the dollars are taken from the treasury and federal reserve bank notes of new s1 and $2 denominations would be substituted.
 If enacted, the measure virtually would fix a standard price for silver at s1, several cents above the pres ent market, and stabilize the world market, since the United States pro- duces almost half of the total. The bill also is intended to stimulate sfl- yer production, and to use the treas ury reserve stocks of that metal, in- stead of gold, to settle this country's commercial trade balances in the or lent and elsewhere.
