(Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) four men nabbed, Jose Mayola. 6O. of 315 West 33rd street. is being held for special investigation as the authorities of San Francisco have informed government that in a raid upon a rooming house or the accused in Frisco they not only located the plates, but over $6OO,- 900 in phoney money.
 The roundup started in Hartford last Monday when Joseph DiSalvo, |28, believed to be a former Water burian and Alex De Pastino Of lSouthington were placed under ar.
 rest. One of them tossed roll of counterfeit bills into the gut ter as @ patrolman approached their car to question them.
 Last Thursday Secret Service Agent William J. Gilmartin, who IS
 directing the investigation in this state, caused the arrest in Fairfield |of Frank Ross and William Rich lman, both of New York city. They have been identified as the pair lwho passed eight counterfeit biiis in Stamford earlier in the week.
 Gilmartin has visited Waterbury on SSYcE0l OCCdSlOuo 6ha ts due to his work and advance tip lthat the local banks have kept a close watch for the appearance or the spurious bills here.
 Owing to the fact that the en- tire state has been warned over |the efforts of a gang to circulate counterfeit money In this section storekeepers have become suspi' cious of brand new s10 bills. From Iali indications the nine arrests made within q few days time. are likely to cause Q change of plans and Connecticut will be given the "go by" until the excitement passes.
 The local police are keeping in Itouch with the Hartford authori' Ities concerning tho part played by IDi snlvo and have asked for [ copy Of his photograph and hl' finger prints. They want to es. tablish bis local connection.

GOLD STANDARD MAINTENANCE
 RECOMMENDED

Geneva, June 10. CUP4--Main- tenance of the gold standard and removal of international obstruc- tions to world trade were among recommendation in the report of the League of Nations gold delega- ton intended to aid world econo- mic recovery.
 The recommendatins were ex pcctcd to influence the decisions of forthcoming important interna- tional conferences, including the Lausanne reparations conference, the imperial economic conference at Ottawa, and the international economic conference which may be q second part of Lausanne. , They included:
 Maintenance of the gold stand ard; upward revision of price levelss expansion of credit; settle ment of war debts and reparations problems; removal of trade re- strictions. Special importance was attached to the gold delegation's desire for infiationary measures, although the report did not pro- .pose to depend on monetary policy alone.
 Although the report of the com mittee was not made public, the summary created a sensation in view of the fact that the League of Nations mixed commission meeting here is considering a scheme to prevent Austria from declaring a moratorium on her debts. According to the plan, which awaits decision from France. The chief financial powers would fur nish Austria an immediate loan of 40,000,00O schilllngs (about $5,- 60o,000) which would be followed by a second loan of 60.000,000 schillings. ye

CHILE CLASHES RIGHT OFF WITH
 BUSINESS HERE
New York City Bank Re- fuses to Obey the Orders of New Govt to Turn Over All Funds
By JOHN VIDAL (lJnitcd Press Stan COrreSpOndent)

Santiago, Chile, June 1O--(UP) -Chile's new socialist government clashed directly today for the first time with foreign business inter- ests when National City Bank of New York announced 1t would not obey the governments decree un- der which the state took over all foreign currency deposits in Chile.
 United States Ambassador Will liam s. Culbertson made immediate representation to the government.
 Meanwhile 1t was revealed that Pedro Tore, president of the Bank of Chile, and the directors of the bank had been arrested on govern ment orders for an alleged traDs- fer of foreign currencies amount ing to 100, 900, 900 pesos to the Ma tional City Bank. The directors were released but Torre was de- tained at his home.
 The diplomatic corps met imme- diately after the decree was pub lished. Culbertson informed his colleagues that he had made rep resentations to the government. Other ambassadors were watching developments closely because of the great foreign interests in Chile.
 The decree provided that all de- posits of foreign money should be taken over by the state. Tn return, the depositors will receive sim liar amount in chilean pesos at the last official exchange rate of June 8. That is the day before the socialist revolution the rate was 16.50 to the dollar.
 Foreign and Chilean banks were ordered to send foreign deposits to the government treasury for credit in pesos at the rate named. The state bank, the central bank of issue which was taken over by the state yesterday. will direct the transfer. Sums will be deposited in the National Savings Bank.
 The decree said the purpose Of the new order was ito halt the &C., tiyities of persons who are con- cerging deposits into foreign funds and thereby weakening the central bank (converted into the state bank) by devalorizing Chilean currency"
