PRESSES GRIND
OUT BILLIONS IN
. new CURRENCY
New Monetary Laws Re-
quire Replacement of All
Paper Money.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Govern-
ment printing presses are rumbling
day and night turning out billions
in new money.
The bales of new currency do not
mean that initiation is underway but
simply that every one of the ap-
proximately 1,0O0,O0O,00O pieces of
paper money in the pockets of the
public and the vaults of the banks
has to be changed due to the
country's new monetary laws.
The printing on the present paper
money which the average citizen
probably never has read is out of
date.
In addition new variety of silver
certificates is being gotten up for
use in connection with the silver
buying program.
What makes the new bills neceS-
sary are the farm relief act of 1888,
which made all money legal tender,
and the congressional resolution OF
June S. 1888, which removed the
promise to pay in gold clause froTn
government obligations.
Appearance Unchanged
These provisions mean a complete
reissue of currency, just as it was
necessary in 1928 to replace the
large size paper currency with
smaller bills.
The current changes have no
bearing on intrinsic value or pur-
chasing power Nor will the appear
ance of present money be changed.
The problem of replacing the
money has placed a tremendous
burden on the bureau Of engraving
and printing, necessitating new
hundreds of workers and a twenty
four-hour three-shift day.
Already crisp new 81 and SIS
United States notes are rolling off
the presses. Other money will be
put into production as soon as dies
and plates can be made.
Reserve Note Changes
Within five years, it is estimated
nearly all of the outstanding paper
money will be made over. No new
money has yet been placed in cir
culation.
The principal change will be in
federal reserve notes. Instead of
bearing the phrase "redeemable in
gold'' they will say, "this note is
legal tender for all debts, public and
private, and is redeemable in lawful
money at the United States treas
ury or at any federal reserve bank"
All classes of paper money are
made legal tender" regardless of
past qualifications.
