U. S. Is Hopeful
Knowledgeable financial
sources said that, despite the
unfavorable gold outlook, the
United States is hopeful that
sales will be held to 1861 levels
through the use of two tech
niques:
ickr S
l. The Treasury and Federal
Reserve System are ready to
deal aggresslvely in foreign
currencies. The Treasury started
such dealings last year and,
according to informed esti-
mates, was able to head off
an additional $500 million of
gold sales at that time through
its currency operations.
Here is how dealings in for
eign currencies can reduce
sales of gold: Assume that
Britain has 5000 million in
United States dollars which it
plans to use to buy United
States gold. The Treasury or
Federal Reserve could buy or
borrow an equivalent amount
of pounds sterling, using the
British currency to buy up
Britain's dollars. In other
words, there would be a swap
of sterling for dollars instead
of dollars for gold.
2. A number of European
central banks have reached an
unWritten understanding that
they will help the United
States curb speculation in the
London gold market.

NEW YORK, Mar. 30
A steel labor pact with the
fringe on top could set a new
style. Or, rather, it would en-
phasize and perhaps speed up
the trend toward putting in
creased benefit payments ahead
of pay hikes in the industries
where wage scales already are
above average.
Fringe benefit costs account
for an average Of some 8 per
cent Of total payments to labor.
In some industries the costs are
as much as Is per cent of hour
ly pay.
The new emphasis is tied
closely with the current fer
ment throughout industry to
get more job security. In one
form or another, the search
for security is behind most
fringe benefits. That is what
spanked demands for pensions,
injury compensation, jobless
benefits and insurance for
medical care, old age, survivors
and disability.
Seek to Spread Work
The current stress on easing
the adjustment pains during
automation of plants and Of
fices is behind the demands for
higher payments in the earlier
fields of security benefit. 1t
also fuels the drive to spread
out the work by such new bene-
fits as longer vacations, paid
furloughS for older workers,
gradual retirement ahead of
the cutoff date.

The Treasury announced
yesterday that foreigners

That increased March sales to
$3.50 million, compared with
500 million in the first two
months of the year.
Gold sales in 1861 totaled
1857 million and all signs point
to a heavier outflow this year
because of the strengthened in

ing wrong with girls shower
ing together, and for you to
side with one girl who felt
embarrassed" to shower
with other girls has created
a problem in our school. We
cannot provide private show
ers, and only 20 out Of my
400 girls object to gang show
ers. Showering after gym is
vital for cleanliness and in
order to be sure all girls
shower I must give them a
lower grade if they refuse.
PHYS ED TEACHER.
i agree thaC Sn0Werlng
after gym is necessary, but
the issue was: should girls
be forced to strip and shower
together-and If they refused
for reasons of personal mod
esty or home training, should
they be given a lower grade?
/ say there should be private
showers for those girls who
object to diSrObing before
other girls. If the school can
not provide facilities, no girl
should be penalized for in
sisting on her right to per-

C.
THE DICTIONARY says:
coexiStence of contrary tend
encies or feelings. Haven't
you ever seen expressions Of
love and anger-by the same
person towards the same per-
son-within moments? Here's
one example: A small child
runs out into the street and
barely misses being run over
by a car. The mother rushes
out, kisses and hugs her in
reinsurance and love, one
moment; the next, the
youngster gets a backside
whacking from the angry
mother for being naughty.
Likewise, Lets kiss and
make up." are common, but
useful, words to help band
age the wounds just given
and received in rage by one
or both partners in a mar
riage row.
You might say that sick
ness and health are, in a
way, ambivalent. For ex-
ample, an apparently
healthy person may be sick
without realizing it; and an
apparently sick person may
not believe that he is really
healthy. Let's put it this
way: contrariness xists

LADIES WHO lie and,
when caught, say: "Oh, I
made q mistake" Women
who wear blue on their eye
lids. Danes who pick crazy
hats and wear them solely
to attract attention.
Martyrs. Drunks. Females
who dress to entice, and then
scream for help when a man
makes his move. migrate
daughters. Women with
smooth faces and wattled
necks. Flirts who deceive with
false eyelashes, teeth, hips
and bras. Females who try
to cultivate an accent they
admire.
Young women who think
they can smile a policeman
out of writing a summons.
Ladies who backbite t h cir
friends. Those who offer ad-
vice to a Rocky marriage.
Those who believe that, in
any dispute. their children are
never wrong.
Those who think they can
compete with men. Cheaters.
Wives who have fallen out Of
love but go on pretending.
Unmarried girls who think
it's "cute" to fleece their
dates. Short dresses. Neck
lines which require incessant
adjustment. Very short bobs
Women who pretend to be
stupid so that stupid men will
feel smart.
Ladies who never give up
trying to marry off a plain
girl friend. Mothers who are
