COLD MINERS
DODGE DEATH
Eighteen Escape From Mine
After Avalanche Buries Them
Below Surface.

GRASS VALLEY, Calf, Dec. 20.
W.P)-A crew of 10 miners dug
their way to freedom today after
q sudden cave-in in the IdaEo May
land gold mine had trapped them
on the 10O0-foot level for more
than eight hours.
The crew, headed by Charles
Mills, shift boss, had just gone to
work last night when 18 feet of
the drift on tie 1000-foot level
caved in, catching the last of the
train of ore cars but miraculously
failing to injure any of the miners.
fortunately" Mills explained to-
day. "the avalanche of rock didn't
crush the ventilation pipes, and
the air was good in the chamber
in which we were trapped. We
started to work at once. There
was no panic, and tie men took
regular turns at digging away the
debris and transporting it in the
unchanged ore cars to a point
deeper in the drift"
Mine officials were at loss to
explain the cave-in, other than 1t
might have been caused by water
seeping into a soft spot" in the
territory which is mainly composed
of hard rock.
The work of the miners in dig
gipg away the fallen rock failed to
bring down any additional debris,
and they were able to make steady
if slow. progress to the point from
which they finally reached the sur
face.
None of the men was any the
worse for their experience, and all
expected to go back to work on
their regular night shift this eve

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. The
best informed opinion today expects
stabilization of the dollar to take
place at or about $41.34 per gold
ounce, representing dollar re-
valuation of so per cent.
Three almost inevitable develop
ments in the administration cur
rency program impend before Pres
ident Roosevelt may finally stabilize
the dollar in relation to gold, how
ever.
These developments are:
l. To initiate negotiations for in
ternational currency stabilization.
2. To ask congress for authority
to seize from federal reserve banks
any gold profit inherent in a de-
valuation of currency.
Seizure of gold profits incident to
devaluation is a logical step after
concentrating gold in the treasury
and in the federal reserve banks,
which was the effect of the order
issued yesterday by Acting Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau.
A treasury official expressed the
opinion today that ultimately a
free gold market may be establish
ed by the United States. But, he
said, the disposition of gold profit
should be established regardless of
profit. A principal objection at this
time to a free gold market is that
it would put a substantial premium
on some $600,000,000 of gold and
gold certificates now boarded or for
other causes privately held.
The third of the factors in devel-
opment of the currency program is
continued increase of the govern
ment IS open bid for gold. 1t stands
today at $34.06 an ounce. 1t was
$20.67 an ounce when Mr.. Roose-
velt began to buy gold through the
RFC two months ago.

Morgenthau Claims Large Guam

PENALTIES NOT DIVULGED
New Regulation Includes Sums
Of Less Than 500 With Few
Exceptions Made.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. U.P)-
The government IS new drive against
gold hoarders is aimed at individ-
uals who have held on to large
amounts of the metal in defiance of
previous orders, Acting Secretary
of Treasury Morgenthau said to-
day.
''We are worrying about the big
fellows and the drive is directed
against them," Morgenthau said.
"This is year-end mopping up
Unlike previous anti-hoarding Or
ders, the new regulation applies to
holders of less than $100 of gold as
well as larger amounts. But Nor
genthau said he was not worried
over those who may be keeping just
one or two gold pieces.
MOrgenthau was uncertain as to
what penalties would be imposed on
gold hoarders under his latest Or
der. Previously gold hoarderS of
more than 500 were subject to a
maximum penalty of $4,000 and 10
years imprisonment.
He did not know whether holders
of less than 500 would suffer any
penalty beyond fine of double the
gold held.
Morgenthau said he believed that
"several million' dollars in gold
would be recovered as result of
the new order.
He said the gold program had no
connection with the administra-
tons gold buying program which is
designed to boost commodity prices
by successive depression in the
value of the dollar.
Heretofore, holders of gold or
gold money have been granted an
exemption of $100 in their gold
holdings.
The only exemptions under the
new treasury order were gold held
under license; rare coins, not in
cluding $3.50 gold pieces; unmelt-
3 ed scrap of not more than 500 or
in the process of fabrication for
industrial, professional or ornament
al use; that now held by the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
or a federal reserve bank, and gold
held in various United States pos
sessions owned by persons not DOM
iciled or doing business in the con-
tinental United States.
At present the United States
holds more than third of the
world S monetary stock of gold of
$12,000,000.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 90. - The
government held it's domestic gold
buying price unchanged at $34.o6
per ounce today as it tried to "cor-
ner" nearly $6O0,000,000 of gold
bullion and gold money still be-
ljeved to be in private hands.
This price was $192 above the
world price set in London today at
126 shillings pence. Based on
the opening pound sterling ex-
change rate of $509R, this was
equivalent to $3214 an ounce.
The dollar remained at 6O.69
cents.
The gold buying program TO-DAY
went ahead coincident with the Or
der of acting Secretary of Treasury
Morgenthau requiring all gold OUT
side the federal reserve banks TO
be exchanged for other forms q
money at the old statutory price
of $20.67 an ounce.
It was understood that the gov
ernment's new anti-gold noarding
program would not affect the gold
buying by which the government
has sought to depreciate the dollar
and promote inflationary advances
in commodity prices.
