The District Democratic Gen.
trail Committee was TO meet at
5 pm. today to consider a new
suggestion designed to sweep
away the clouds of confusion
gathering over the May 3 pri-
mary.
The proposal was made yes
terday by the Board of Elec-

idential preference primary
from turning into a fiasco.
The board took this action
after a two-hour hearing dur
ing which five possible solu-
tions for untangling the elec-
ton law mixup were recon-
mended by spokesmen for var
iouS factions of the Democratic
Party and the Chairman of
the Republican State Commit
tee.
The heart of the plan finally
suggested by the Board of Elec-
tionS is elimination of the pos
sibility of voting mo" after the

occasion for asking questions,

so they could earn the interest
the United States was paying
on its short-term IOUs-par-
ticularly during the high-in-
terest months Of 1859. In re-
cent months the deficit has
been running at a So billion
annual rate. For even though
our sales Of goods and services
abroad have been topping our
purchases by a handsome $4.4
billion. our spending for mill
tary purposes, gifts and loans,
our private investments in
other countries and other pay
ments have slashed that export
surplus to a total payments
deficit of SO billion.
This year so far foreign
claimants have taken about a
half-billion in gold and kept
a smaller amount in dollars
here, because interest rates in
other key money centers have
risen above ours.
Towering above all other
factors in the gold flow is the
deficit we're running. Even a
nation as powerful as ours
can't run in the red indefi-
nitely. How we might meet and
solve our payments and gold
problems will be discussed in

Gold OutfIow-H
DY SYLVIA PORTER

Our nations gold hoard has
now sunk to $l9 billion, a loss of
81 billion just since 1858 and
the lowest total in more than
20 years. This nest egg is i'm
pressive still, Of course, and it
represents almost half the
Western worlds gold reserve,
but against it are potentially
immense claims.
Under our law. $12 billion
must be earmarked as backing
for our currency, In addition,
there are foreign claims in dol
lars or their equivalent here
equal to our entire gold hoard.
for which the claimants theo-
retically could demand payment
in gold. Hence the rising worry
about the adequacy of the
United States gold reserve and
this second Of three columns
designed to explain our position
and problem.
Question - Could foreign
claimants start a flight from
our dollar, demand gold en-
masse, cause an "unthinkable"
crisis?
Answer-It's conceivable, but
that's all. First, only about half
the dollar balances here belong
to central banks, and these are
the only sources that can get
gold on demand. The rest is
held by private sources, and to
get gold these would have to go
through quite a rigmarole.
Many wouldn't want to do it
under any circumstances.
Second, so tightly is the West
tied together financially today
that only if the central bankers
completely lost confidence in
the United States dollar might
they start a run and cause an
international crisis. They
haven't lost confidence in the
dollar. On the contrary, con-
fidence is high.
Third, sophisticated finan-
ciers recognize that no bank
keeps a dollar Of cash on hand
to match every dollar depos-
tied, and the United States
needn't do this with gold either.
Britain's pound is strong, and
yet claims against her amount
to three or four times her gold
reserve.

Grafton. Through the prewar
1930s, most Of the worlds gold
flowed to us for protection,
After World War II. we were
the globes great producers and
sellers of goods. and so critical
was the shortage of dollars,
gold and goods elsewhere that
under the Marshall Plan and
other programs. we gave and
loaned tens of billions to help
our friends buy our goods and
rebuild their factories. We have
worked for years to end the
shortage of dollars abroad,
help other nations regain their
strength and redistribute our
gold.
QuestiOn-Why are we los
ing so much gold now?
Answer-Because our pro-
grams of rehabilitation and aid
have been so successful and
now other nations are able to
compete with us in the worlds
markets as suppliers and pro-
ducers. We still are selling
abroad more goods and Serv-
ices than we're buying from
abroad, but our other pay
mentS are so huge that we're
running what is technically
called a balance of payments
deficit with other lands
meaning we're spending more
abroad than we're taking in,
and as a result, other countries
are building UP claims against
our gold.
