Washington Wonders If President Is About to
 Stabilize Dollar

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. = As President Roosevelt pursued a sort of hybrid bimetallic commodity dollar idsa in search of higher prices. the Nations capital eag- erly sought for evidences of any Administration moves to carry out the expressed hope for extension of the silver stabilization plan to other media of exchange, perhaps to gold
 Observers here also wondered whether last nights hurried meet ing of the Governors of the Fed eral Reserve Board was necessitat- ed by the silver. development or forecast other developments yet to come.
 It is known that MT. Roosevelt expects the new plan for silver coinage, among other things, to depreciate the dollar in countries using silver, just as gold purchases has done in those nations which use that metal as base.
 When the depreciation, both at home and abroad, aches a level that the President considers satisfactory, and when commodity prices suit him, he hopes for sta biliZation.
