dollar resulted in the Bank of France acquiring $1,000,000 of American gold. The readiness with which the gold was paid out by the United States caused a sharp rise in dollar quotations, making fur ther acquisitions for gold unprotit- able.
 Pay Gold on Demand
 Although Americans are not per mitted to buy, sell or hold gold, the United States government now stands ready whenever the dollar falls below it's new par to pay out gold on demand of central banks in gold standard countries. In this way the dollar is effectively "pegged" at 15 5-21 grains of $S5 to the ounce of gold.
 Recent weakness in the dollar abroad has been accompanied by reports of an impending further reduction in the gold content of the dollar but it became known today that such step is not contem- plated.
 While Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau has repeatedly stated that the treasury was lon a 24- hour basis" as regards money mat ters, it was not believed any fur ther important monetary steps would be taken at least until the end of the year. At that time the results of the recent semi-eXperi- mental monetary policy will be more fully available.
 Gold in Our Vaults
 Stocks of gold in the United States treasury vaults last Monday reached a record high of $7,9S3 3S9,542 on the basis of $35 per ounce for the metal. This repre- sented nearly a third of the world s monetary gold.
 Huge quantities of gold could he lost, according to economists, without having the slightest lntu- encG on domestic conditions. IS presumed that the United States treasury would allow a large part of this gold to be withdrawn to Europe if it became necessary to keep the American dollar and Its begged" price. It was believed by some that shipment of some gold abroad would contribute to world recovery. The metal thus would be redistributed and used bv forel%r countries as a broader base fol their own currencies.

 Foreign bankers ridiculed ru- mors that gold might be impound. | ed and the suggestion that Grea, Britain might return to the gold | standard. Policies were issued at nominal rates-as low as 1-10th of one pei cent a year against just requisl- 1 tioning and 18th of one per cent against requisitioning or contsca' ton and all risks except deprecia l tion in value.

 Attorney Torrance claimed the clause pertaining to grandchildren was against the rule of perpetuities and cited the rule that "No future interest in property shall be ere ated which must not necessarily vest within 21 years exclusive of the period, vestation, after life or lives in being at the death of the testator."
 Judge Slavin ruled the clause in- valid and ordered the property di- vided as intestate property, as though no will existed.

RAILROADS ARE
 NOT YET DOWN

Washington, Aug. 23-(UP)- Americas railroads, despite heavy debts to the government and a conviction here that state owner ship and operation will ultimately prevail, promise to maintain their independence for some time to come. Inquiry by the United Press newed reports that the government was going to take over the rail- roads were unfounded. Rail coor- dinator Joseph B. Eastman, has not attempted to hide his belief that American railroads should sooner or later be nationaliZed. However, it was understood, he feels that the move would be too much to handle now. because or the countrY's financial condition.

foreign holders would receive S4 shillings 10 pence a fine ounce ($21.60 cents) instead of the cur rent market price of 13S shillings 2 1-2 pence ($S5.S0).
 It was learned that number of American owners of gold deposited in London had taken out insurance at the rate of one-half of 1 per cent year for two year policies, first against British government seizure and secondly, guaranteeing them reimbursement in foreign currency in the event the gold was impounded. The second clause re- lates to the possibility that export of capital arising from the sale of gold might be forbidden.
 Bankers Scoff at Rumors
 Foreign bankers, however, de- preciate as ridiculous rumors that gold might be impounded and the suggestion that Great Britain might return to the gold standard.
 Experts told the United. Press that reversion to the gold standard was deemed unfeasible unless the United States pledged that the dol lar would not be devalued further Such a pledge is regarded out of

 Paris, Aug 23-(UP)-The franc was 149S to the dollar today (6.69S cents a franc)-the point at which it would be profitable to im- port gold from the United States.
 The franc was 14.96 to the dol lar (6.6S4 cents a franco yesterday and 14.99 (6.671 cents) the day be- fore.
 The dollars drop was attributed in part to rumors here (denied in Washington that the dollar would be devalued again. The pound dropped in sympathy with the dol lar.
 London, Aug 23-(UP) - The pound was $509 5.16 today. Gold was ss5.3O, up two cents, with the sterling rate 13S shillings ' 1-2 pence, up one halfpenny. Yester- days price was fixed with the pound at $5.09 Is.

 Washington, Aug 23-UP)- Secretary of Treasury Henry Mor- genthau, Jr said today he was mot disturbed over the sensation al foreign monetary developments of the past few days.
 The secretary said he was at loss to understand the circulation of financial rumors in various parts of the world.
 "The financiers," hesaid, "seem to take seriously rumors from South Africa, Shanghai and Tint buctoo.

New York, Aug. 23-UP)- Many businessmen threatened to move to other cities today if the funston administration carries out its proposal to make business carry the burden of financing relief through the winter for 100000 destitute persons. "New York has whetted it's knife, looking hungrily at the goose that lays the golden eggs" said Percy c.
