> GOLD CHANGE i 2 —Nevada City Nugget, Friday, October 7, 1949 -ENGLE SAYS NO WITHOUT PUSH “Solution of the gold problem in the U. S. will not occur until this country is forced to take action by international monetary pressure,” said Clair Engle, con. gressman for the second Califorfe mia district which includes Nevada county, before ‘a meeting of the Grass Valley Lions club last week, Engle said he felt gold action was closer today than it had been for some time in the past but declared the federal reserve system, the treasury department and international monetary bank are strongly opposed to any change in the $35 per ounce in gold. “Financial pressure will bring . a change some day,” Engle said, , “and gold will come back.” Engle described thé confusion in the recent senate banking and currency committee hearings on his bills for a free gold market. This confusion resulted from two groups of economists who worlds apart in their thing. Literally the hearings bogged down from confusion, As a result it was not even necessary for the managed currency opposers to a change in the price of gold to take the witness: chair. Engle said his bills are still in committee. Engle remarked the atom bomb’, is.so potentionally deadly no na. tion would war with it. . Engle said congress does not, follow executive dictation today . and pointed to the Taft-Hartley act, the European aid bill, Brannan’s farm plan and the civil liberties bill. He said the nation spent $400,000,000 on a_ potato support program, after which the potatoes were burned or destroyed—a figure which equals recently passed low income housing legislation.

Carlson said he favored leasing the. building to the association. The board turned the matter over to its legal advisor, Vernon Stoll, for a report at the next meeting of the board. The board voted to transfer $500 from the general fund for repairs. The board awarded the Alpha Hardware Co. the job of repairing the courthouse roof, The job is estimated to cost $1,530. The board placed portions of three county roads—McCourtney, Wolf and Lime Kiln from Grass Vailey to route 49 at Higgins corner—under the federal aid secondary system. Road Commissioner J. F.
