Some new fiscal statistics
have been released that show
the enormity and the complex
ity of the contractual activities
of the Air Force. Congress Il
primarily interested in the an.
nual appropriations Of $20.t
billion, of which $11.3 billion il
spent on research and produc-
ton Of military hardware.
However. aircraft and missile
contracts often cover a period
of years and are not Of the
firm exact price Of commercial
products. They range from let
tiers Of intent, letter contracts
cost-plus research contracts
C o S reimbursement develop
m e mt contracts to negotiated
production contracts. Final
prices are based on complicated
cost rules and auditors reports
on funds spent.
The Air Force estimates II
has around $18 billion" in &C
tive contracts now in progress
There is about $7.8 billion In
"uninvoiced dollar b balance"
i.e., m oney due contractors

production contracts are listed

Open Contracts Are AT Problem

at 67,750 with the breath-tak-
ing value of 1852 billion.
These figures do not include
any local purchases made al
airbases or ALSO research con.
tracts issued to colleges anc
non-profit organizations. These
are valued at $1.9 billion with
$3.50 million In uninvoiced dol

Some of the completed but
unsettled contracts date back
to the Korean War. Most have
very small amounts due but are
held open by contractors fol
legal easons. Any favorable
court decision or Controller
Generals ruling applies to un.
settled contracts. Congress has
given much attention to initia
contractual agreements. At the
height Of the Korean War ir
1851, the Pentagon had issued
$40 billion In letters of intent

YOUR MONEYS WORTH :
Dollar DevuIuino-.
An Explanation
BY SYLVIA PORTER

devalued by any stroke Of the
pen" deal!
Q. Why does anyone favor
dollar devaluation?
A. Because our foreign credi-
tors have such enormous dollar
claims against our gold reserve
and our hoard has been
shrinking, the proposed "solu-
ton" Is that we write I'D the
value Of gold so we'll have q
"profit"-and so will all other
countries owning gold-the ba-
sic precious metal that backs
paper currencies today.
If we raised the price of gold
from $35 to $40, our $15.6 bill
lion gold reserve would be
worth $31.2 billion. We would
have doubled the amount with
which to settle claims against
us. At $40 an ounce, our gold
would be a much less attractive
buy to foreigners.
Because our dollars value in
other currencies would be cut
in half, the cost of our goods to
foreigners would be cut in half
too. theoretically, our exports
would be twice as attractive,
and theoretically this would
boost our sales abroad. At the
same time, the value of a dollar
to a foreigner would be cut in
half and the cost of goods we
import would be doubled.
! theoretically, imports would be
much less attractive and we'd
be less eager to buy imported
goods. For instance, a German
car costing $4,000 or 5000
marks would cost $4,000 for the
same 5000 marks.
All this assumes other coun-
tries would sit by and let us
devalue our dollar by ourselves
and not follow suit.
They could not sit by and let
us do this - which is why a
unilateral devaluation by the
United States is unthinkable.
Why do other countries de-
value? How would devaluation
affect prices here, change the
dollar? These answers tomor-
row.

Nevertheless, fears about de.

the deficit in our balance Of

from $35 to $40 an ounce. Tit
gold value Of the United Statei
dollar would be 1/70th Of ar
ounce instead Of 1/35th. The
dollar would have been de-
valued by half.
@. How could devaluation be
achieved?
A. 1t could be done only by
an act Of Congress. Under
the Breton Woods Agreement
Acts Of 1945, the President can
not even propose devaluatior
unless Congress first gives him
the authority to do so, and ever

This is ex- pensive, but necessary. The present portable resuscitator requires changing of bottles every 20 minutes; a difficult, delicate operation under any clrcumstaees. The ehange-over from the present one-litter to the four-1itter ambulance is necessary because of the in- creaslng frequency of multiple passenger accidents on our highways It is terrible when an ambulance has to pull away from an accident scene with one patient, while others may be Writhing on the ground in pain and agony-Wst as urg- ently in need of care and hos pitalization
