Gold Brings
Fancy Prices
From French

From Paris comes the story that
Black Bourse brokers revealed that
amounts as high as $500 paper
francs were offered for the Gold
Louis, a 20-franc gold coin, accord
ing to a dispatch to the New York
Times. Frenchmen are apparently
buying gold coins to conceal their
wealth in view of impending meas
ures which minister of finance
Pleven intends to enforce to end
illicit profits, wild speculation, and
to restrict excessive purchasing pos
sibilities by freezing a portion Of
high incomes.
In order to discover who holds
wealth. it is believed that Pleven
will institute an exchange of pres
ent bank-notes for new issue. This
step will also trace many Bank of
France notes, both genuine and
counterfeit, placed in circulation by
the Germans Anticipating such
measures, people of the middle
class and peasantry who have tradi-
tionaIly concealed their possessions,
are now buying gold coins, not to
avoid taxation but to prevent dis
closure of wealth to their neighbors.

The postwar market demand for
crude oil probably will be at least
100000 barrels daily, Texas Rail
road Commissioner Ernest o.
Thompson thinks.
In formal statement he said:
Our United States prewar high
in crude demand was 8, 800,000 bar
rels daily. 1t seems as certain as
can be that when price controls are
removed crude oil viii soar in price.
The demand will be strong with
supply short unless we find an
other East Texas or lot of good
new fields"
The commissioner said that de
spite the present rate of production,
4,795,000 barrels daily, storage is
"alarmingly low"

Russians Capture
Two Key Cities
In Baltic Drive

LONDON, March 3. (UP)
Marshal Konstantin K. Ro-
kossovsky's Red army Satur-
day captured the Pomeranian
strongholds of Pollnow and
Rummelsburg in a drive
which the Germans said had
carried within four miles OF
the Baltic.
Moscow broad cast an order OF the
day by Marshal Stain announcing
the capture of PollnoW, % miles
from the Baltic and 20 miles SOUTH
east of Koeslin; and johannesburg,
81 miles from the Baltic and "a
miles northeast of Neustettin.
The fall of the two strong points
cleared the way for RokossovSky' s
White Russian army to push on to
the Baltic and cut off the German
troops to the northeast. Nazi broad
casts said he already had cut the
Baltic coastal railway and highway,
the last land line of escape for the
Germans in northeastern Pomerania
and Danzig free state.
The Germans said Rokossovskys S
forces cut the railway at Zanow,
four miles south of the Baltic, and
moved on toward the sea.
Soviet vanguards also reached the
outskirts of Koeslin, key junction
astride the railway and highway
four miles west of Zanow, the Nazis
said. They estimated that Kokos-
sovsky has thrown three tank an6
three guards corps into the break
through area.
