But If you compare the
March. 1860. dollar with the
dollar Of a year ago this spring
it's worth only about a penny
less. While this is not absolute
stability and over a generation
a loss of q penny or so a year
compounded does add up to
real depreciation, this Is rela-
tive. reasonable stability of q
great currency.
And If you compare the
March. 1860. dollar with the
dollar Of last fall. it's actually
worth a fraction more.
Few countries can boast rec
ords as good as this.
Traditionally neutral Swift
zerland-the capital OF the in

the mark and pound.
Other Currencies Slide :
As for other currencies, "a
measure of their depreciation
is that last year the cost OF
living in Canada rose 6 per
cent. In France, 8 per
cent. In Holland, about
2A per cent. In Finland,
about 10 per cent. D.. In India
about 2 per cent. -.
Why the shift in the dollars
position? Primarily, it reflects
control Of imitation. Infiations
simply do not thrive in a coun-
try with a balanced budget,
credit restraints. ample plant
capacity. plentiful supplies Of
goods. fierce competition. All
these conditions exist in the
United States today.
Why the change in the
dollars reputation? Primarily,
this reflects the mounting be-
lief Of f1nanciers in other lands
that we can and we soon will
get our foreign trade back into
balance by increasing our ef-
flciency. our exports and other
common-sense moves.
Our dollar remains the lead
ing currency of the world today.

so per cent interest in the
Murray studio in 1856 for more
than 81 million. He is asso-
ciated with Mrs. Ethel M. Fis-
tere in the operation.
Ballet Schools Hit
Among dancing studios
which specialize in ballet, tap
dancing and modern dance,
however, business is not SO
brisk. The principal reason, ac-
cording to Leon Fokine, owner
Of the schools which bear his
name at 1911 Columbia road
NV. and in Rockville. is that
business is so competitive.
Mrs. Clifton Batson, owner
Of the Linda Verrill Studio OF
Dance, 1921 Wisconsin avenue
NV. also complained that the
increase in business has not
kept up with the increase in
costs.
I'VE Just aren't accomplish
ing as much" she said.
/ Credit is Inducement
Some studios have resorted
to credit as an induccment to
attract new business. The con-
tracts are arranged generally
through Washington area
banks, which collect the pay
; ments individually and return
the proceeds to the studios
after their percentage has been
removed.
Almost all our people bud
get their program" said an Of
flcial of a large studio. They
pay as they 60 along. That's
the way we prefer it, and they
seem to like it better.
That's the same reason
people buy a car on credit"
The same studio gives q dis
count of up to 10 per cent fol
cash. but relatively few people
contract their lessons that way
Credit. however. has involved
some studios in more lawsuit,
than they care to recall. Ir
one case, q 19-year-old stenog-
rapher, earning $3,l85 a year
had signed up for 100 hours
of dancing instruction at ST..

the Governor conducted the
hearing to help him decide
whether to sign the measure
and permit it to become law.
Ed Lockhart Of the Baltimore
Better Business Bureau told
the Governor his organization
frequently found savings and
loan organizations unwilling to
release a financial statement or
even a list of officers.
In one case he said the man
in charge of the association Of
fice told him he did not know
the names Of any Of the officers
and that he got instruction by
q daily phone call from a man,
whose name and address he
did not know.
Favor Approval
Two Maryland savings and
loan leagues and the United
States Savings and Loan
League joined with the bureau
in urging the Governor to sign
the bill to protect the savings
public and the good name of
the industry"
In recent years a number of
savings and loans located in
Maryland, but controlled by
interests outside of the State,
have engaged in Nationwide
mail solicitations offering high
dividends and expensive gifts.
Stephen Slipher, legislative
director of the United States
Savings and Loan League, told
Gov. Tawes the bill has national
implications because the asso-
Citations are soliciting all over
the country and people making
their investments are unaware
Of the lack of regulation in
Maryland.
He said that even under the
new bill Maryland controls
would be the most lenient in
the country" adding that thou
sands Of small associations over
the country have prospered
under much more rigid State
laws"
Tydings Urges Signing
Delegate Joseph Tydings,
Democrat of Hartford, sponsor
of the bill. said the measure is
designed merely to keep fly
by-night operators" out of
Maryland and to protect the
public against loss.
The bill requires savings and
loan directors to be residents of
the State for at least two years,
requires them to file annual
financial statements and pro-
hibits a firm from using the
word insured" as part of its
name to lure savers. Violators
get fine of up to $4,000 and
up to three years in prison.
Baltimore Attorney j. Calvin
Carney representing the unin-
sured State-chartered associa-
tions, agreed with the need for
regulation but asked the Gov
ernor to veto the bill because of
its defects and adverse effects
on Maryland's legitimate State
chartered institutions.
A resolution of the City Coun-
sci of Baltimore calling for
the bills veto was also pre-
sented.
Gov. Tawes said he is con.
cerned about the "unfavorabll
light" thrown on the State b,

 Four more bills were introduced Monday, bringing the total for the 22-day session to an even 150 measures awaiting action.

Treasury Opposed To Rise in Gold
By CHARLES R. HOYT

WASHINGTON - The Treas ury Department has reaffirmed its opposition to increasing the price of gold. The Administra- tion's views were expressed in a letter last week to Senator Bart lett.
 Two bills are before the Sen ate - one a Bartlett bill for free marketing of gold, and the other co-sponsored by the Alaska Sen ator, which would raise the price of gold to $70 per ounce for all gold domestically mined and rendered to the Treasury. w. H. Britt, Director of the Mint, was emphatic in stating, "The Administration has made it clear on many occasions that the United States has no intention of increasing the price of gold" Sen. Bartlett, former miner, has been pleading the cause of the gold miners since his early days as a voteless Delegate to Con- gress. During his first session as full-fledged Senator with voting privileges, he introduced or CO., sponsored measures to relieve the plight of the miner and rebuild the industry which at one time was the. backbone of Alaska economy.
 "Too many mines have shut down, and more will follow in | the near future," Sen. Bartlett said, eff something isn't done to either raise the price of gold or enter it on the free market"
 The Senator pointed out that the official value of $35 per fine Troy ounce was established back in 1884, and since that time ev- erything else but gold has risen in inflationary stages. The price of machinery to mine gold has skyrocketed, but the price of the commodity remains the same; which has forced shut-downs of most mines in Alaska, and pre- vented opening of new ones," Bartlett said.

Wash. Congressman Would Abolish Taxes On ShipbOard Supplies

WASHINGTON, R - Rep. Don Magnuson CD-Wash) introduced a bill this week to eliminate taxes on supplies sold on U. s. ships and aircraft that operate exclu- sively between the Pacific Coast and Alaska and Hawaii.
 Magnuson said when the two territories became states, the Customs Bureau ruled that under the tariff act supplies sold to passengers and crews on ships and planes operating from the Pacific Coast were subject to ex- else taxes and duties.
 Such charges are not applied to U. s. and foreign flag carriers in foreign commerce and U. s. carriers operating from Atlantic and Gulf ports to the United States, Magnuson said.

Planners Report Stirs Drive to Set Affairs In Order'

JUNEAU, lR - Rep. Earl Hill strand, chairman of the House Fi- nance Committee said Monday his group expects to deliver its views on the controversial State Plan- ming Commission capital improve ments report late today.
 He said the committees report will differ from that of the Sen ate Finance Committee, which was submitted Monday, but de- clined to say what the differences would be.
 However, Hillstrand said his committee is not dissatisfied with the Senate committees recom- mendations.
 The Senate group, headed by Sen. Al Owen, urged state lead CTS to take positive steps to "set the economic affairs of the state in order"
 The Senate committee said the Planning Commission report had Consequence and stature," but the committee felt Alaska would exceed growth forecasts in the planners report and that reve- nues would be higher than anti cipated.
 The planners predicted a fi- nancial crisis for Alaska.
 Hillstrand and several legisla- tors have called the report too pessimstic.
