Yanks Have Ruble Trouble MOSCOW UP) The U. S embassy' here estimated It lost about $50,000 through Russia's revaluation of the ruble, and spokesman indicated it- might take special action b y Congress t o keep the embassy going on its present basis. The embassy was caught in a snare because of the State Depart ment s own rules, a spokesman said. Theoretically, under State Department regul; ''ns, an em- oassy officer could be held re sponsible for the entire $50,000 loss, he said, explaining: The Stale Department rules said no embassy could keep more man $100 on h;.nd, and that an officer would be respoi.siblc for any loss incurred in violation of the edict. But the embassy, of necessity, had to keep thousands of dollars m cash on hand. The embassy could not keep a bank account. The comptroller general does not allow U.S. repre sentatives abroad to pay the costs of such accounts, the spokesman added.
