Russia To Put New Value on Ruble Jan. 1; Reasons Studied By United Prais International Russia puts a new valuation on its ruble Jan. 1 and the monetary move was viewed today as both economic and psychological.

California now is tied with Pennsylvania for second place Elizabeth Taylor Said Victim of Meningism London-IUPD - Film beauty Elizabeth Taylor's doctors said today that she is suffering from a virus infection called meningism, which caused her infected teeth to flare up and send her to the hospital with agonizing head pains. Observers pointed out that meningism is not to be con fused with meningitis. A med ical dictionary defines men ingism as "the name applied to a condition with symptoms closely resembling those of meningitis but due simply to a feverish state." Two of Miss Taylor's phys icians, Dr. Carl Goldman and Lord Evans, agreed on the the Russians actually had de valued the ruble In what amounted to an admission the ruble is now overvalued in international trade. Tru Value Difficult The differences between Western and Communist econ omies make it difficult to determine the true value of the ruble. The Soviets announced Mon day that it would have an Increased gold value, on Jan. 1, and the ruble-dollar ex change would be 90 kopecks to the dollar. There are 100 kopecks to the ruble and this would make the Russian cur rency note worth about U cents more than the Ameri can dollar. The ruble currently is ex changed at the rate of four to the dollar and 10 to the dollar at the special tourist rate. The new ruble-dollar valu ation would apply only in Soviet controlled territories, where the ruble has not been convertible to gold since 1928.

"We are sticking to our diagnosis, meningism a long drawn out virus infection which caused infected teeth to flare dp. That is agreed between Lord Evans and myself. Dr. Rex Kenamer, who had treated Miss Taylor in Los Angeles, arrived Monday night and was met at the air port by her husband, singer Eddie Fisher. He conferred with Dr. Gold man. Monday's announcement did not mention the Soviet plans to introduce a new "heavy ruble Jan. 1 which would be worth 10 old rubles.

According to the Soviet an nouncement, the new gold content of the ruble will be .987412 gram of pure gold The current gold content is set at .222168 gram of pure gold. The Soviet Union will re call all rubles now in circula tion, and return one new ruble for 10 of the old ones. Wages and prices will be re duced in the same ratio.
