Silver To India

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Now that
the government has completed its war
time shipments to India of silver from
melted dollars, Director Of the Mint

tons of the metal were hauled from

without general knowledge OF the pro-
cedure.
Eighteen Of these treasure trains
made the trip across the continent In
the II months ended last April %,
with the silver like big bricks piled
high In each Of the five express cars
comprising a special train. Two men,
with automatic pistols at their hips
and sawed off shotguns IN their laps
sat In each car and later guarded thu
secret transfer of the white bars from
train to ship at San Francisco.
East silver brick weighed about 81
pounds and was worth 81. 900, and each
train carried between Sc, 900, 900 anC
$40, 900, 900 worth of the bricks. Guard
ed shipments Of silver dollars also were
made from the United States treasury
in Washington and from the New Or.
leans subtreasury to Philadelphia. Thest
dollars travelled in stout bags OF LOO
each and were handled much like bag
of sugar, except that armed men-al
ways we're near. More than 26b, 900, 00'
silver dollars were melted and shipped
to India during the year to meet urgen
war demands for coinage.
