Lord Astor Plans to Quit
Britain to Avoid Toxes

LONDON. Sept. % (AP).-
A British peer announced today
he is quitting his English home
land TO escape death duties
that could cripple his family's
fortunes.
The 76-year-old Baron AStor
Of Hever said he has decided
TO spend the rest Of his life
abroad to save his properties
in the United States and Brit
ain from near-extinction from
taxes after he dies.
A new finance act, introduced
this year. imposes English es-
tate duties on real property
abroad owned by people dcKni-
ciled in Britain. The AStor
family has assets In the United
States.

law of Lady AStor, the former

Lord Astor announced his de-
cision In the Times, the news
paper Of which he is chief pro-
prietor.
Lord Astor said his family
has an interest in a trust in
the United States created by
his father-the first Viscount
Astor-who originally was an
American citizen.
"AS a result Of the change
introduced by this years fl
nance act the capital Of this
American trust fund would be-
come liable to English estate
duty on my death at the top
rate Of 80 per cent"
If that happened, the Baron
said, it would be very difficult
for his heirs to meet the death
duties on his English property
and the American trust fund.
It would certainly mean, he
said. that his historic family
seat-Hever Castle in Kent
and much else would have to
be sold.

Mr.. Dillon said United

The United States Is start
ing . major Campaign TO break
the tradition that world trade
depends entirely upon gold,
dollars and pounds. ,
Such other strong eurren-
cies as French francs and West
German m arks can serve
equally well as monetary re-
serves, Treasury Secretary Dill
lon said yesterday.
Mr.. Dillon said the United
States increasingly win acquire
and count these curreneies As
part Of its reserves. reducing
dependence upon gold. Other
countries should broaden their
reserves In a similar way. he
implied.
He explained the policy at q
news conference, during which
he politely but firmly knocked
holes in Britain's new monetary
plan. Britain'S plan. he said,
might increase rather than re-
duce dangers to the interna-
tional monetary system.
American sources previously
had revealed bits and pieces OF
the new reserve policy. Brit
aims proposal apparently
pushed the United States into
publicizing the American plan
and disclosing its potentially
large scope.
Mr.. Dillon went much further
than the administration had
gone previously In committing
the United States to the new
reserve policy. He also used
stronger words in criticizinR
the British proposal than q
Treasury spokesman used ear
lier this week.
u. 3. willing to Discuss
But Mr.. Dillon said the
United States Is willing to dis
cuss the British plan and other
suggestions for STRENGTHENING
the international monetary
system. He emphasized the
United States contention that
the American plan can handle
all foreseeable monetary prob
lens for the next five or 10
years. and that any need for
other major innovations lies
In the distant future.
The news conference was
held at the end Of the 5-day
meeting of the international
Monetary Fund and World
Bank at the Sheraton-Park
Hotel.
In another wind-up Develop
ment yesterday, Britain's

the National Press Club, but
he emphasized its flexibflity.
Mr.. Maudling also said devalu-
alton Of the dollar Is "incon-
eeivable."
Both the British and Ameri-
can plans aim at increasing the
supply Of curTencies uSable as
reserves. When q nation spends
more abroad than 1t receives,
it must use its reserves to pay
international obligations.
Traditionally, these reserves
consists Of gold. dollars and
pounds, all of which are al
most universally acceptable for
settlement Of accounts.
Payment Deficits
Plenty Of dollars. and pounds
are available arouAd the world
now, because the United States
and Britain have large bal
anee-of-payments deficits.
That Is. they spend, lend, in
vest and give away more dol
lars and pounds abroad than
they receive from foreign
sources.
But the United States, at
least, Is moving toward balaTAc-
ing its international income
and outlays and a balance of
payments surplus. When this
effort succeeds, some experts
fear, there will be an interna-
tional shortage Of dollars, and
this will impede world trade.
Mr.. Maudltng proposed to
meet this problem by creating
q mutual currency account,
In the INF. Participating gov
ernmentS could put excess
amounts Of various foreign
currencies, not just dollars and
pounds into this account.
Currencies deposited in the
aecount would be guaranteed
against loss Of value. Theo-
retically. therefore. they would
be completely acceptable in
settlement Of international OBJ
legations and disable aS reserves.
This system. Mr.. Maudling
maintained, would increase the
worlds supply Of reserves
dollars, pounds and other cur
rencies.
Guarantees Doubted
Mr.. Dillon said the United
States would be unwilling to
give an unlimited guarantee for
the value Of dollars deposited
in the account. and questioned
whether 1t would be practical
to limit the deposits. He ex-
pressed doubt that other eoun-
tries would guarantee their
Icurrencies.
