Soviet Places
vaIueon
RubIes

MOSCOW, Nov. IS (AP) -
The Soviet Union declared to.
day that It's new heavy ruhle
viii be worth more than the
dollar In Russia. Western eco
nomic experts in Moscow said
the chief motive probably was
prestige.
Under . decree the official
rate Of exchange win be
changed January I from four.
rubles for 81 to one ruble for
Sill. The Soviet government
said the new rate would reflect
Q fourfold increase Of the gold
content Of the ruble to be put
into effect on that date.
However. the ruble that win
be p9t into circuiaticn at that
time Is being exchanged for 10
LOT the present rubleS.
The ofilcial news agency Tass
said in its announcement Of
the currency revaluation that
the state bank was instructed
ito increase the rate Of ex-
change Of the ruble with the
currency Of other capitalist
countries In conformity with
the higher gold content of the
ruble."
That content is going from
20 grams in the old ruble to
.98 grams In the new.
The change In the gold con-
tent January I win coincide.
however, with the changeover
to the new heavy" ruble within
the Soviet Union. The people
will get one, Of the rubles for
10 old rubles. This was an
|nounced last May by Premier
Khrushchev. He did not an
nounce then. however, the gold
content, or its value in relation
to dollars.
Vastly Garbuzov. Soviet A.
nance minister. wrote in today,s
issue Of Pravda that "the new
exchange rate Of the ruble .
corresponds to the present real
Relationship between the pur-
chasing power of the Soviet
currency and the United States
dollar.
Starting January l." Mr..
Garbuzov continued, "there will
be no need to add any premi-
ums to the official exchange
rates Of capitalist currencies
and in non-commercial clear.
ing payments"
Western economists here said
prestige was more likely one Of
the motives for the currency
revaluation because Of the
weakness the dollar has shown
recently In foreign markets.
weakness that has led to such
things as the pushing UP Of
the price Of gold on the London
exchange.
They said the actual effect
OF decreeing the dollar will be
worth only 80 kopecks tthere
are 100 kopecks in the ruble)
instead Of four rubles was neg
ligible unless the ruble Is made
into convertible currency which
can be freely changed into
other money in international
commerce. At present the ruble
has an arbitrarily set value
which bears little relation to
world or domestic prices.
No mention was made in the
announcement Of the present
special tourist rate Of 10 rubles
to 81.
Until today 1t had been ex-
pected the new heavy" ruble
would be at the tourist rate
one new ruble for one dollar.
Mr.. Garbuzov said the new
exchange rates would not ad-
versely affect other countries
because they win bring q cor
responding lowering of foreign
trade prices as expressed in
rubleS.
The actual gold value Of the
ruble Is difdcult to determine.
One indication is the selling
price to Soviet citizens who
want gold for their teeth or
other personal matters. The
price has run about 80 rubles
a gram.

No Woman President
For Mrs. J. B. Parks
BY FRANCES LIDE
Star sta6 Writer


The president-elect Of the
National Federation Of Re-
publican Women has a ready
reply for anyone who wants
to know If she would like to
see a woman as President Of
the United States.
Her answer is mo-" says
Mrs. ]. B. Parks of Pueblo,
Colo.-but not because a
woman wouldn't be capable
of holding down the highest
Office in the land.
Her primary reason, she
explained yesterday, Is that
there are some nations in
the world which wouldn't
look up to a woman. "And
that reason alone is Suffici-
ent," she added.
What about a woman Vice
President?
II feel the same, for the
same reason" she declared.
Mrs. Parks, who arrived in
Washington this week to pre-
pare for her new duties,
chatted informally about her
future plans at a luncheon
for the press yesterday at
La Sale du Bots.
High on her agenda will be
q drive to raise per capita
dues Of the federation from
the present 5 cents to 81 per
member.
She realizes that is a quite
a Jump. But the move would
put the organization on a
self-sustaining basis, she
pointed out. And, as Presi-
dent Eisenhower noted re-

the Strategic Air Command
instantly which of its bombers
and missiles are destroyed if an
attack should come. and which
bases are untouched.
Three to seven of the sensors
will be installed around each
base or city in the network
Washington, for example. will
have seven.
The alarm system is based
on these facts: Light waves
travel faster than shock waves,
and a nuclear blast creates a
light for which there is no in
tensity parallel on earth.
/ If a nuclear bomb bursts. a
sensitive light valve in the
sensor trips off the alarm which
registers with red flashing
lights in the six command
centerS.
Each sensing unit operates
independently. So if a bomb
or missile hits one and knocks
it out. the others spaced at
distances of 10 or IL miles
will have several seconds or
perhaps a full minute to flash
the alarm before they are
crushed by the shock wave.
Experts say that extensive
tests have shown that even
brilliant tightening flashes can
not touch off the alarm. Spe-
cial provisions have been made
to guard against such accidents
as an electrical short circuits
setting off a false alarm.
