ship of gold money by private
United States citizens has been
illegal and thus a whole genera
ton has grown up with little
understanding of the immense
financial, political, interna-
tional significance Of gold as
monetary reserve. But because
you don't read or hear about
our gold problem in everyday
language doesn't mean that the
problem doesn't exist or Is 60
ing to disappear.
In this and the next two COL
umns therefore, I'll try in ques-
tion-answer form to explain the
story simply.
Why It's Important
Question - Why is our gold
reserve so important?
Answer - For more than a
quarter-century, the Treasury
has been committed to buy gold
from any seller at $35 an ounce
and to sell it to foreign central
banks on their demand at $35
an ounce. This has made the
dollar and gold the primary
mediums for settling trade
transactions among nations.
Also, under our law, the
Federal Reserve System-which
is our central bank-must
maintain a minimum of Is per
cent in gold backing against
Federal Reserve notes and
deposits.
Our gold reserve, as result,
is our dollars basic backing
and our dollar is the Western
Worlds basic currency. While
international gold and dollar
movements may seem myste-
rious mumbo-jumbo to most
Americans, the way the sophis-
ticated financial world views
them was put coldly by Ger
many's Finance Minister Lud-
wig Erhard more than a year
ago:
IF the sun, the dollar,
around which other currencies
revolve, starts to move, which
God forbid, the consequences
for the West would be unthink-
able"
The dollar is not starting ito
move" The "unthinkable" con-
sequences are not on the
horizon. But we are in the red
to other nations.
Our deficit to other nations
is a potential threat to us, an
indisputable challenge which
we must meet successfully. To-
morrow'S column will explain
our position and why we have
been losing gold.

Gold OutfIow-I

Week after week, gold is
flowing out Of the Govern
ment's subterranean vaults to
other major financial centers
of the West. So far in 1860 our
gold hoard has dwindled a
half-billion dollars. Since the
start of 1858 our reserve Of the
globes most precious monetary
metal has shrunk 81 billion.
Our gold hoard is the foun-
dation of the U. S. dollar, a
key reason why ours is the
greatest currency in the world
today. Gold is the pivot around
which all other currencies OF
the West resolve.
AS of this day we have SIG
billion left in our reserve at
Fort Knox and in mints across
the country, the lowest total
we've held in more than 20
years. What's more, there are
potentially massive cl a i'm S
against our reserves. For, un-
der our laws, around $12 billion
must be kept untouched as
backing to our money. In ad-
dition, foreign nations have
potential claims on the United
States Government equal to
the total hoard. There is nc
denying that our reserves are
declining, there is no doubt
that the outflow is causing
concern both at home ano
among our friends abroad.

ton is No! We are not witness

With BIO

CLEVELAND. Sept. IA (AP)
Walter j. Tuohy, president
of the Chesapeake g. Ohio
Railway, yesterday made bid
for complete merger Of the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad
with his company.
In a letter to the B&O. Mr..
Tuohy asked that lawyers Of
the two companies begin i'm
mediately on a study of the A.
nancial problems of a COM
plete merger and the operat-
ing savings that might result.
The Tuohy letter came in re-
sponse to a charge by Howard
E. Simpson, BIO president,
that Gao was not interested
in a prompt merger but merely
in controlling the BIO. Mr..
Simpson made the charge Mon
day after C&O directors de-
cided to extend the deadline of
their stock buying offer until
November 80.
C8SO has disclosed that only
30 per cent Of BIO common
stock is pledged to a merger
with the Chessie. New York
Central Railroad, also trying
to gain BIO stock, said it had
received pledges of about 81
per cent Of the stock.
In answering Mr.. Simpsons
charge, Mr.. Tuohy said Z. his
company had extended its
stock buying offer to prevent
the New York Central from
blocking the. merger with COM
petitive bids of its own.
He added that, while his
railroad will still try to buy 80
per cent Of the BIO stock, 1T
is by no means a mandatory
figure" Monday, the rail exec
utive said he was well satisfied
with the 20 per cent offer.

DIAMONDS SECOND BEST

star Stan Writer


A trim, honey blond who
looks like she should know
about such things insists that
diamonds, after all, are NOT a
girls best friend.
They don't pay dividends;
they cost money for upkeep
insurance.; they can't appre-
ciate in value, and they are

Of the arguments that Jane
Ford of Beverly Hills, Calf,
has against diamonds.
Let Miss Lorelei Lee and 9TH
er blondes of her ilk settle for
an ice-blue diamond tiara, Miss
Ford will take a blue chip stock

And striking a subtle blow
for all women, she added,
That's something you can't
say for men,"
Miss Ford is one Of those
dynamic women you generally
find in fiction but rarely in
real life. She's managed to
remain feminine and charm
ing while carving out a career
in a tough mans world of high

Started in Movies
Actually, she didn't start out
to be a stock broker. She went
through business school in Los
Angeles and for a while was
secretary to Mervyn Leroy, the
movie producer. She's been a
private pilot since 1914. She
plays golf with a IL handicap
and works a few hours each
week for several charitable and
civic organizations.
Miss Ford turned to the in
vestment field in 1851. Her
husband, a public relations
man for national rubber

did. Stocks, after all, diverted
her attention from such ex-
pensive baubles as diamond
rings and necklaces.
