RUSSIA RESUMES GOLD
SHIPMENTS TO AMERICA
Russia, after a wartime lapse, is selling large quan- titles of gold to the United States again.
It rose to third place last year among the nations whose shipments have boosted the United States Govern.. ment's stocks of gold to cpproximately three-fifths of the world's total.
The Russian sales began, last was recuperating from April. The $33,729,000 Russin Illness at the Foo Ming Hospital got for its gold in 1946 was in addition to more than $18,000,- Sarcy paid the Thulz brothers 000 it. netted on cash trade! "generous"

Finally Sarey refused to pay the blackmail and the Tautz brothers kidnapped him and his nepliew, n Mal. K. Y. Tang, at his Great Western Road residence.
Sarcy was taken to 70 Jessfield Road, the puppet gendarmerie hold- out and subsequently taken Nanking, where he was offered pup pet posts. But he refused them.

IN HOLES
Three hundred Romans are living to-day in literal "holes in the wall," and they like it.
All are artists, or would-be. Russia exported $100,035,000 in goodsgriostly furs and manganese artists.

These trade figures do not include $298,950,000 which Russia got from the U.S. last year via UNRRA, lend- lense and private relief.
Since Russia bought ne gold from the United States its shipments during 1946 accounted for more than a tenth of the U.S. $311,404,000 net ad imports, meaning an execs of gold cceived over that shipped to the rest of the world.

The shipments from Russia were almost $3,000,000 higher than those of 1940 but about $11,200,000 under those of 1941-the last year before the wartime suspension of gold xb|pping.
Like the denizens of New York's Village and London's Greenwich Soho, some of the wall-dwellers are fairly normal. Others are eccentric.
