QUICK DEATH MET
BY COIN HOARDERS
Soviet Acts DrasticalIy to
Protect Circulation of Its
Small Money.
~ the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, October 6--No halfway
measures are used by the Soviet gov
eminent in discouraging counter revo-
lutionary tendencies in the union.
Recently there was a serious shortage
of small silver coins, such as the 10.
IS and 20 kopeck pieces. The dreaded
Ogpu got busy and, in few days.
brief announcement from this secret
service organization stated that four
silver hoarders had been arrested, tried
and shot, all within the space of sim
gle day.
Made Change Available.
After this announcement it was pos
eible to get change now and then for
q ruble note. But the Ogpu was not
through, as was evidenced by brief
paragraphs in the press of further
executions and imprisonments. Since
then, while there has been no plethora
of silver change. persons patronizing
the shops have not been forced, as pre-
viously, to take postage stamps or due
bills in the place of small coins
Most of the small silver boarding has
been blamed on the Russian peasant,
who, even when a Communist, has the
idea that hard metal is far superior to
paper money. The authorities do not
blame the peasant SO much as they do
traders, cashiers and others whom they
accuse of propagandizing the peasants
on the insecurity of bank notes.
The Ogpu claims to have cap
tured and shot the leaders of this con-
spiracy against Soviet currency and eff
forts are now being made to convince
the humble mujik that paper money
is Just as valuable as coin.
Little Actual Silver Used.
The peasant apparently does not
realize that the actual silver in small
Russians coins is of little value, the
metal being an alloy that is intended TO
be durable rather than of intrinsic
value.
The present currency of Russia is in
the form of chervonetz bank notes,
treasury notes and silver, copper and
bronze coins A chervonetZ equals 10
rubles and chervonetz notes are issued
in denomina tons of from / to so.
The silver coins were issued in values
of l ruble. so kopecks. and 20, is and
10 kcpeckS. Since 1925 duble coins
and 50-kopeck pieces have been as
scarce as hens teeth. These larger
coins, it is believed, have been buried
in pots and kettles by the suspicious
peasants. The government has little
hope of getting them dug up and the
campaign is to bring out the smaller
coins as an aid to retail business.
In the financial report of last year
1t was shown that silver. copper and
bronze coins to the value of more than
06,00o, 900 rubles were III circulation.
