OF INTEREST TO THE GOLD MINER
 Prepared by Ralph Lomen

The purchasing power of the American dollar fluctuateS from month to month and from year to year Based US. Bureau of Labor Statistics Index of Wholesale Prices, with computation by Office of the Economist American Bankers Association, with the base year 18OO realize why the gold miner of today is having such difficult time
 In 1900 the purchasing power of the dollar was 100 cents
 In 1896 it was 218 cents.
 In 1883 when the Democrats took over it was 154 cents and today it is 57 cents.
 When the Democrats came into power, the pur- chasing power of the dollar was $1.54 and gold was valued at $21.67 per ounce. With the dollar worth $1.54 an ounce of gold had purchasing power of $3337.
 The Democrats reduced the gold content of the dollar in 1883 by increasing the price of gold to $35 per ounce.
 Today 1852, with 57-cent dollar, the purchas- ing power of ounce of gold is $19.95, though we speak of gold at $35 per ounce.
 1883 gold was worth $33.37 to the operator. To- day it is worth only $19.95.

Milkman Kills Self
 And Daughter By Diving Rented Plane Into Ground

VAN NUYS, Calif., (P) - Po- lice recorded the deaths of milk man and his seven-year-old dau- ghter in a plane crash here last Monday as murder and suicide.
 Detectives said a note found in the automobile of the father, Jay William Campbell, 31, and ad- dressed to his wife, Mary, indi- cated he planned the death of their daughter, Judy, and himself.
 Mrs. Campbell's father told newsmen: Mary had been con- templating going to Nevada for a divorce about two weeks ago" He said the couple apparently had patched up their differences.
 Campbell's note to his wife di- rected her to reimburse the owner of the plane he rented before he buzzed his house and, while she watched, dived it to destruction in a schoolyard nearby.

Report 100000
 Chinese Mass On lndOchina Border

PARIS, (P) - French sources said today they have received un- official reports that Red China has concentrated 100000 soldiers with full battle gear in areas just north of the French Indo-China border.
 These sources said they did not believe Red China would attack Indo-China while fighting con- tinueS in Korea. But they said they were gravely worried about an invasion whenever an armis- tice is reached in Korea, freeing masses of communist Chinese forces for action in South China. The French fears were echoed by other United Nations delegates, some of them from southeast Asia, who heard Andrei Vishinsky mention the troubled areas of South China, Burma, Thailand, and Indo-C China Thursday.
 These delegates said they con- strued Vishinsky's yelled words as direct threat of communist action against those countries sooner or later.

The Arnlistice ; it II a t on

MUNSAN, Korea, (P) - The communists made seven objec- tions today to the six-point Allied plan for exchanging prisoners of war and rejected a new JUN. ap- peal for an immediate trade of sick and wounded prisoners.
 In a nearby tent at Panmunjom Allied truce negotiators asked for an explanation of reports that the communists are shipping crated warplanes into North Korea. They also accused Red China of re- leasing soldiers of Korean origin from it's armies in 1949 and 1850 to form the cadre of the North Korean Red army.
 Chinese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang said there was nothing wrong in this. He labeled the crated plane report a ridiculous rumor."
 Hsieh, in turn, accused the AL lies of holding behind their lines through intimidation with the atom bomb some 5OO,OOO North Koreans.
 The Reds rejected the Allied exchange plan Thursday, but Rear Adm. R. E. Libby asked them to study it further.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, (P) - A spool of steel cable fell through the floor of a box-car at nearby Billiards Thursday night, derail- ing 10 cars in two freight trains and setting off explosions of gaso- line and ammunition.
 Three persons were injured by shrapnel as a carload of 20-milli- meter shells exploded sporadic ally for three hours. None of the injuries were serious.
 More than 150 firemen battled the fire, which got so hot it melted steel box cars. A grain elevator next to the tracks was badly damaged. The Pennsyl- vania Railroad said eight tank cars were in the fire area-four oil, two ammonia, one naptha and one gasoline.

British Industry Urged
To Boycott Pact for
Trade With Red China
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, April 10.-The Fed
Grafton of British Industries has
urged its members to boycott an
announced trade agreement be-
tween Red China and a private
British group at the Moscow
economic conference.
The British Government Board
of Trade shrugged off the Moscow
deal as propaganda stunt and
wondered out loud why the Reds
didn't act through ordinary Off
cial government channels If they
really mean business"
The group of British business
men in Moscow said Tuesday the
Red Chinese delegation had agreed
in principle to buy $28 million
worth of British goods by the
end of this year.
Textile would represent 35' per
cent of the total purchases
metals. IS per cent, and chem
icals, 80 per cent. China would
ship Britain food and other prod
ucts worth the same amount.
A. spokesman for the Fedora
ton of British Industries, which
represents all segments of British
industrial life. suggested Russia
had ulterior motives behind the
deal.
The spokesman noted that the
Moscow agreement tiles chemicals
and metals with textiles" and
said "the implications of this are

Ma|ik Won't Disclose
Details Of Soviet Plan
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. April
l0.-Russia's- Jacob A. Malik re-
fused yesterday to disclose details
of the Soviet plan for international
control of atomic energy until the
West agrees on basic principles for
such plan.
Mr. Malik told a committee OF
the U. N. Disarmament Commits
sion there is no need to talk about
inspection problems or any other
details so long as the Western pow
ers insist on the U. NJ setting ur
what he called a "super-truSt" tt

the Russians do not agree to such
a system of international owner
ship.
His position deepened the i'm
passe on the whole question OF
arms limitation and reduction apC
the control of atomic energy. The
disarmament commission will re-
port by June l to the Security
Council.
John E. Coulson of Britain
opened with a demand for Mr.
Malik to detail what the Russians
mean by simultaneous prohibition
of the atomic bomb and control
of atomic energy. He also asked
Mr.. Malik what the Russians mean
by saying atomic inspectors may
carry on continuous inspection as
long as they do not interfere in
internal affairs.
Mr.. Malik charged these ques-
tions were an attempt to divert
attention. He said that perhaps
scores of years" will be required to
settle the question of international
ownership of atomic facilities. He
answered one of Mr.. Coulson's in
quiries, however, saying interna-
tional inspectors would have the
right to inspect all atomic plants
and installations from the mine
to the finished product" as we'll as
to check on atomic stock-piles and
carry out special inspections on
suspicion of violations.

Governments say-so.
Within "a hours Of President
Truman's seizure of the plant,
heads of the industry told Secre-
tary of Commerce Sawyer he

And Secretary Sawyer, who took
over the running of the steel in
dustry under the Presidents Or

FairleSs Pledges Support.
Benjamin Fairless, president of
the United States Steel Corp, and
a group of his colleagues promised
the emergency overseer of the mills
that the back-to-W work movement
will be hastened.
Although the country's four
biggest steel producers started
summoning their men back to
work, the full-scale re-emplpy-
ment of some 10000 furloughed
workers was expected to take from
10 days to two weeks.
Before the Presidents seizure
of the mills the big crews of skilled
workers were laid off in stages,
as the industry began to slow down
against the threat of strike.
Bethlehem Steel. second largest
producer in the land. was one of
the latest companies to call its
men back. Spokesman said, "Our
plants are being put back into
operation as rapidly as possible. )"
More than 5000 workers re-
turned to their jobs at the Spar

New Funds for Home Loans
To Veterans Approved
BY the Assoeioied Press

Senate passage yesterday sent
to President Truman a bill to
make available an additional $l25
million for direct home loans to
veterans.
Sponsors of the measure said
funds which the Veterans Admin
istration can use for the direct -
4 per cent interest loans-now are
almost exhausted.
The program of direct veterans
home loans was set up by Congress
in 1850 because of scarcity of
per cent money in many areas
The maximum loan to one veteran
is $4,000.
The 1850 law give the VA $15C
million for the direct loans. 1t was
hoped this would be used as a re.
volving fund and would be suf.
ficient.
However. principal repayments
on the loans now outstanding
total only about $500,000 a month
and the VA has been able to sci
only about ST million worth of the
loans to private lenders.

there should be an early deter

refusing to grant the restraining
order.
| Judge Pine, in refusing to ad-
vance the hearing date. said there
actually was no issue at stake since
the government had not answered
the steel companies injunction
suit.
Earlier, the case was referred to
Judge Pine after another judge
disqualified himself from taking
part in the steel legal proceed
Iings.
Owns Steel Stock.
The judge. Walter A. Bastian
Withdrew from hearing a motion
in the case after pointing out that
he owned some steel company
stock.
Judge Bastian said that before
appointment to the bench he
purchased 80 shares of stock in
the Sharon Steel Co.. valued at
about $1,000. He said that while
Sharon had not filed suit against
the Government, it was involved
in the general steel industry wage
price dispute which led to seizure
of all steel properties.
There may be criticism" the
Judge said. particularly in case
having as much public interest as
this one.
Perhaps I am over-cautious.
But, like Caesars wife, I must be
above suspicion"
No Showing of Damage.
In refusing to issue an order
restraining Government seizure OF
the mills, Judge Holtzoff said it
was very doubtful to say the
least" whether a Federal court
has the power to issue an injunc-
Ition against the President Of the
United States. He said, also, that
there was no showing on the part
of the producers of actual dam
age resulting from the Presidents
action. If damage resulted later
the companies could try to prove
lit in a suit against the Govern
ment, the judge added.
The companies contended they
would suffer "irreparable" dam
age under Government operation
of the plants.
Mr.. Truman based his seizure
order on his broad constitutional
powers to protect the public well
fare in time of emergency. He
said steel strike would cripple
the defense program and damage
