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.
Western sources in Moscow
said the Russian announce
ment of the revaluation appar
ently was designed to give
the impression the value of
the U.S. dollar has fallen
A New York expert said this
could be a "financial Spm
nik" to Impress pro-Western
or neutralist nations.

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.

That is agreed between Lord

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. Earlier
Soviet announcements said
this was not a devaluation
but was due to increased pur
chasing power of the ruble.
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.
Washington officials point
ed out the new Soviet rate
would be ..0.9 rubles or 90
kopecks to the dollar, com
pared to the present official
rate of 0.4 rubles for $1.
