Devaluing the Dollar U. ,S. News and World Report, in its July 29 issue, discusses the effect that devaluing the dollar would have. Just what do we mean by “devaluing the dollar?” The U. S. government would simply increase the price of gold from its present $35 an ounce. This would make the dollar worth less in terms of gold. The present “price” of gold was set in 1934. Prices for everything else have raised considerably since then. The U. S. gold-mining industry has been almost forced out of business, because it can no longer produce gold profitably for $35 an ounce. But what effect would devaluation have on Decatur? Would prices skyrocket, land values, and insurance premiums, increase? When gold was freely convertible to and from dollars, undoubtedly there- would have been noticeable effects from devaluation. But, today, and for the past 29 years, it has been illegal for you and me to own gold. Therefore, your house, stocks, and other assets would not increase in dollar value, because you cannot convert your dollars into gold. Prices of goods other than gold would not be pushed up automatically. Os course, some businessmen would begin loooking for excuses to raise prices (as all of us businessmen do!) and the fact that more money could be in circulation would mean cash spending around the entire world. too. We must remember that many countries quite friendly to us back their currency with dollars rather than gold. Holders of dollars abroad would get less for their dollars. Undoubtedly other countries would immediately devalue their currencies, too, and this would mean that the dollar’s exchange rate for other currencies would not be greatly affected. Gold-producing nations, such as Canada, South Africa, and Russia, would be helped. The gold industry in the U. S. would revive International consequences, where the foun-dation-stone of she free world’s trade and payments system is gold, would be very great, compared to the internal effect that would be felt in Decatur. The stock market would fluctuate, probably down initially with “loss of confidence in the value of the dollar” and eventually up, as the number of dollars in circulation increases, while the amount of property available remains roughly the same. Foreign nations might hold more gold, less dollars, with new controls on international commerce, which would hurt industry everwhere. President Kennedy has made it clear that tampering with the value of the dollar would be resorted to only as a very last resort. Other ways of settling our balance-of-payment problems will be tried first. But with sl6 billion in our gold reserve, and s2l billion outstanding debts abroad, it would be very tempting to cut the value of the dollar 50%, by doubling the value of gold, and this mean that we would owe s2l billion in gold, but have $32 billion in gold at Fort Knox!

Deer Hunter Kills Son Os Neighbor BROWNSTOWN, Ind. (UPD—A jobless father seeking a deer out of season as meat for his hungry family shot and killed a neighbor boy and wounded his brother Wednesday. Manuel Dean Rouse, 13, R.R. 1, Freetown, was killed by a rifle bullet through his back and his brother, Melvin, 15, was wounded by fragments from the same shattering slug. Alonzo Harris, 32, a neighbor of the Rouse boys and their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rouse, was questioned after he ran more than a mile through the thickly wooded brushland in and near the Hoosier State Forest to summon help when he discovered the brown moving object he fired at was not a deer. Harris told Sheriff Harvey Green of Jackson County that he was an unemployed factory worker. He said his family needed food and he decided to go deer hunting, although hunting deer this time of year is illegal. Harris said he saw the boys’ brown shirts, thought they were a deer and fired with a Japanese rifle. Melvin Rouse said the brothers were hunting groundhogs with a rifle, grew tired of that sport and began to search for ginseng, a medicinal herb of commercial value which grows in the area. After awhile they stopped to rest and lay down side by side on the floor of the forest. The shot which killed Manuel pierced his back and chest. The bullet splintered and three fragments hit Melvin in his right side. He was taken to a Seymour hospital but was not believed to be »n serious condition. Harris was not charged pending ■‘further investigation.
