Truman Asks For Six-Day Steel Strike Truce

WASHINGTON. (R-President Truman today asked new six-day strike truce in the steel dispute.
 The President also asked that the steel concerns and the CIO steel workers union resume collec- tive bargaining on their own.
 He said federal mediators would be available to assist them.
 Cyrus Ching, mediation chief who announced MT. Truman's new truce request, said no reply had yet been received from either union or companies.
 Tn present truce runs out Sat urday midnight and the union is poised for a walkout by it's 1,OO0,- 900 members at that time.
 The President asked that the truce be maintained until 12:01 a. m., Saturday, Oct. 1, in the ina tional interest"
 President Philip Murray of the steelworkers advised Ching that the union will decide on its reply to MT. Truman's request at a un- ion wage-policy committee meet ing at Pittsburgh tomorrow.
 Ching said the steel companies promised to reply soon.
 Ching's talk with the President delayed for 45 minutes the media ton chiefs scheduled resumption of talks with union and industry representatives.
 There were reports that concil- iators working on the case were eyeing a reported offer fan em- ployer-paid pension plan in the au- tomobile industry as possibly of- fering an avenue for steel settle ment.

POundDevaluatiOn Has Repercussions Around the World

Devaluation of currencieS across half the world sent traders in Ster- ling areas scurrying for gold and commodity stocks today but brought little change in United States markets.
 With France and Canada added overnight to the list of devaluing countries, making the total l9, others had still to fall in line. Western Germany is to reduce the value of its mark. The Hong Kong dollar fell into the devaluation lineup. Holland officially set it's devaluation rate for the homeland and Indonesia at about 30 percent, approximately the same as Britain.
 The labor government in Britain closed it's ranks for the fight of its life. Parliament is due to meet next week, on the demand of Win ston Churchill and other opposi- tlon leaders. Labor unions were restive at the prospect of increases in the cost of living, set off by rises in the price of bread.
 London's stock market went wild. Some gold shares sold for nearly triple last Fridays prices. Everywhere, gold was the toast of the day. One reason: the U. s. gov ernment buys gold at $35 an ounce, paying U. s. dollars. That means exporting countries, in get ting U. S. dollars, can turn them into more units of their devalued

 Coal carrying railroads ordered 26,OOO employees furloug h d |. Thousands of others face layoffs in allied industries due to chok- ing off of coal production in 20 states.
 Violence developed in Ken lucky and West Virginia. Govern or William Tuck of Virginia took a verbal swipe at Lewis. So did two other top coal industry off cials.
 Lewis took it all in. He didn't say a word. And there was no in dication from his united mine workers headquarters in Washing ton whether he will show up for scheduled resumption of contract talks with southern coal operators at Bluefield, w. Va.

 GA U. s. navy statement said the Cochino sank while on routine cruise outside of Norwegian ter ritorial waters" on Aug. 26. One member of the Cochino's crew was lost and six aboard the Tusk. a sister submarine, perished during rescue operations).
 Red Fleet said the place where the Cochino sank is known to Sov- jet authorities.

Gold Still Is King In Devalued Currencies

NEW YORK, (P) - Devaluation has made gold the king around the world with the dollar as crown prince.
 That's because gold still is the yardstick of value for money, and the United States has more gold than anyone else, although you can't exchange your paper dollar for gold.
 The United States treasury price for gold is S35 fine ounce. When the British cut their pound to 5 80 from $403, they also raised the price of gold to 25O shillingS a fine ounce from l72 shillings 3 pence.
 That puts the British pound and British cold on the same devalued footing against the American dol lar and American gold.
 Other countries devaluing their currencies either have or will shortly raise their gold price to keep in line.
 The United States now owns about $25, ,500,000,000 worth of gold, more than 60 per cent of the worlds known supply. And stands ready to buy gold from all corners at S35 an ounce.
 Here is why everybody is rush ing to buy stocks in gold mining companies. South Africa, the worlds biggest gold producer, be- fore devaluation sold 100000 ounces of gold for 72,5O0,OOO South African shillings, equal to $35,0O0,OOO. After devaluat i O n which was the same as the Bri- tish, 100000 ounces brings 25O,- 100000 South African shillings- still worth $35,OOO,OOO.
 Consequently, South Afri a n gold miners are reaping a hand some profit in their own currency through increased prices for their golden product. If you own stock in a South African gold mining company, you stand to profit from increased dividends payable out of increased profits.

Mass Arrest Of
 Priests And Nuns In CzechOslOvakia

PRAGUE, (P)-The Czechoslo- yak government has jailed dozens of Roman Catholic priests and nuns in a big new wave of arrests aimed at breaking spreading re- sistance to state Control schemes, a statement from church sources said yesterday.
 An informed church source es- timated that the latest wave of ar rests brought the number of Cath olic priests under arrest to more than 200.
 No official comment was avail able on these figures. The govern ment usually does not announce arrests of priests until they have been sentenced.
 Meanwhile reports req h d Prague that a local communist of- ficial had been killed by angry peasants in Moravia following the arrest of a Catholic priest.
 The news stirred speculation whether fresh peasant uprisings are brewing.

DevaluatiOn Will Not Affect Mining In United States

WASHINGTON, CRD-A gov- ernment expert said today the de- valuation of foreign currencies is going to spur gold mining throughout the sterling area but not here at home.
 The biggest boost, said Charles Merrill, chief of metal economics for the U. s. Bureau of Mines, will be in the biggest producing areas in the sphere of devaluation. He listed these as South Africa, Aus tralia, India, New Guinea, the Af- rican Gold Coast, Southern Rhod- esia and Canada.
 The devalued area produces two-thirds of the worlds gold, he said.
 The gold-mining industries of Russia, which produces almost one-fourth of the worlds total, the United States and Latin-Am- erican countries will not be affec- ted one way or another. Merrill told a reporter. Those countries have not revalued their money.
 Tn the United States, the price of gold remains unchanged at S35 an ounce. There is no incentive to step up production.
 In countries where the curren- cy has been cheapened, however, the value of gold goes up. South African gold for instance, had been selling for about 172 Shill- ings an ounce before devaluation. It shut up yesterday to 25O shill- ings.
 South African gold sold in this country still would bring only $35 an ounce. But those same dol lars will buy more shillings.
 Merrill said silver producers will not be affected, except in Canada, for silver is not an im- portant product in the British Empire and the Eastern Hemi- sphere.
 Silver doesn't begin to benefit like gold will" Merrill said.
 Gold is perfectly situated to take advantage of devaluation."
 Merrill said the world normally produces about S1,OOO,OOO,OOO of gold a year. The l945, 1946 and 1947 totals were 26,1OO,OOO;. 27,- 5OOOO0 and 28,8OOOOO fine ounces respectively.
