VALUE OF POUND OTHER MONIES,
 MAY INCREASE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31, = While the Capital awaited woro from London, President Roosevelts advisors proceeded with prepara- tions for making the first pur- chase of foreign gold, hoping the transactions will begin Wednesday.
 With gold purchases abroad, new complications enter the situation. The gold must be paid for in pounds at London, guilders at Am sterdam and francs at Paris.
 The Reconstruction Finance Corporation must buy at foreign exchange and sell at dollars for pounds, guilders and francs by constantly offering dollars, conse-- quently increasing their supply on the foreign exchange market.
 Many economists agree that, lacking resistance from European capitals, the administration could force the dollar value of a pound constantly upward by depreciating the dollar in relation to the pound.
 President Roosevelt apparently has assured England that he con- templated no such extremes; that the prime purpose is to increase gold abroad, as well as here, for It's buying effect upon commodity prices, such as the fluctuations as have characterized the dollar and pound relationship during the last few months.
 The price of $32.12 Der ounce for newly mined gold was set today by the Treasury Department, an ao'. vance of 16 cents over yesterday price. This advance was made des.- bite the drop of 71a cents on the London exchange

Roosevelt Expects No Retaliation
 Great Britai1,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31, = President Roosevelt expectantly awaited British assurances that his approaching operations on European markets would not arouse retalatory measures ana fire a starting gun of rulnous race to depreciate currencies.
 The British government thought the Presidents plan for raising prices here by steadying the dol lar abroad was purely a matter of domestic policy dictated by con- ditions within the country.
 The new high price paid for gold under the monetary program IS booming the mining industry in gold producing states and Alaska but Bureau of Mines officials are not sure domestic production will increase to pre-war levels because of scarcity of the mineral, if noth- ing else.

HARRY MILLER
 DIES, INJURIES
 AUTO ACCIDENT

Harry Miller, oldtimer of the Moose Pass-Hope districts, died this morning from injuries recelV- ed in an automobile accident last night, according to brief detalAS reported to the Gateway.
 It appears that MT. Miller, "ao has been operating a taxi serVAce over the Moose Pass highway, was headed for the Pass last night, but he was not driving. Coming down the heavy grade this side of Mile IA, the car went over the road plunging down the steep embark ment.
 Apparently none of the occu- pants of the car seemed to be injured excepting Miller and he, not so bad, for he walked with the others to Bert Higgins cabin. There, Miller told others that he was unable to proceed further. He was conveyed to Moose Pass where it was planned to bring him to the Seward General Hospital today, but death overlook him this morning
 Later information regarding the regrettable accident is to the et- feet that besides Harry Miller, Os- car Dahl and Wm. Cardon were in the automobile when it plunged down the steep grade and turned over: Dahl and Cardon being hurl- ed from the car.
 It was also said that the trio were picked up by another auto mobile and that MT. Miller died before reaching Moose Pass sta tiOn.
 MT. Miller was bringing MT. Car don to the station when the fatal accident occurred, MT Cardon be- ing ill and en route to the Seward General Hospital.
 A speeder. from the section al the Pass, conveyed Mr. Cardor to Mile IA, Seward Highway, this morning, where it was met by Doc Ward. taxi-man, who brought the sick man to Seward.
 The last version, and probabl! correct, is that the accident oc- cured between four and five o'clock this morning at approxi' mately Mile 13; that all three were thrown from the machine ano while all were badly shaken ane scratched, MT. Miller's chest ap' Deared to be crushed
 Notwithstanding his condition MT. Miller climbed back to tn road and he thought he woui( go back and get w. Anderson's ca to take them to Moose Pass. An dersons car was at Mile 14, mil away. The Anderson car arrive' but MT. Miller died before they ha' progressed far.
