Gold Facts

All Coin and Bullion in World Would Make 32-Foot Cube.

Hu United Pres* NEW YORK. March 10.—Here are a few facts about gold, compiled by New York university professors. Since Columbus discovered America the world has produced about 1,000.000,000 troy ounces of pure gold, worth in United States coinage approximately $23,000,000.000. Piled in one heap, all this gold would make a cube 39 feet 11 inches on each side. At present there is in gold coin and bullion throughout the world about 580,000 000 troy ounces worth $12,000,000,000. This would make a cube 32 feet 4 inches on each side. The United States supply is worth $4,045,000 000 and would make a cube about twenty-two feet on each side. About 150.000.000 ounces of gold are estimated to be hoarded in India and the Orient. This is worth $3,000,000,000 and would make a cube about 20 feet 3 inches on each side. ROOSEVELT IS BACKED Madison County r ”ub Sends Resolution to Leaders. Hu Timex special ANDERSON. Ind..

No Bar on Certificates, Says Woodin

WASHINGTON. March 10— Secretary of Treasury William H. Woodin Thursday said that he has "no objection to issuance of clearing house certificates or other evidence of claims against assets of banking institutions in communitties where local conditions make such actions necessary." Woodin's statement follows: “Notwithstanding the expected early opening of banks, the secre-

tary of the treasury interposes no objection to Issuance of clearing house certificates or other evidences of claims against assets of banking in s titutions, in c o m m u n i ties where local conditions make such action necessary. "The regulation issued March 7, 1933, remains effective, granting

permission to clearing house associations and other associations organized to provide an adequately secured medium of temporary exchange to issue certificates against sound assets of banking institutions, such certificates to be delivered by such institution to its creditors and depositors on a pro-rate basis.” The ruling opens the way for issuance of clearing house certificates in addition to an expanded bank note circulation, where such procedure is desired by individual communities. The regulation issued on March 7 dealing with the issuance of clearing house certificates provided that clearing house associations and other associations organized to provide an adequately secured medium of temporary exchange are permitted to issue certificates against sound assets of banking institutions. In making the regulation, Woodin ruled “that no such certificates should be issued Friday, March 10. without consent of the secretary of the treasury addressed to the clear-

ing house or other association proposing to issue such certificates." and further provided "that this permission may be revoked in the event that a national plan to meet the existing emergency is proposed by the secretary of the treasury if in his opinion the success of such plan would be inconsistent with the operation of the certificate plan.”

Van Nuys Given Posts on Important Committees

WASHINGTON. March 10.—Senator Frederick C. Van Nuys Thursday was assigned to the committee on judiciary, the committee on foreign relations and the committee on expenditures in executive departments. Democratic leader Joseph T. Robinson offered to Van Nuys a seat on the committee on finance, the

Woodin's announcement was regarded as a "safety valve" measure so that communities could avail themselves of the use of clearing house certificates. Reports received here indicate issuance of certificates may be necessary as a temporary measure in a number of communities.

most powerful committee of the senate, but the Hoosier senator said he preferred the judiciary committee. because of the vast amount of labor legislation which it handles. Van Nuys was the only new senator assigned to foreign relations, a committee of considerable prestige, which will have jurisdiction over the St. Lawrence treaty.
