he would await the official
outcome before claiming vic

A late tally of unofficial
returns amounting to more

gave Belaunde 614,767 votes

UNITED
GOLD VAULT OF THE FREE WORLD
(This is the first of two articlas)
It's a large room, about 30 by 100 feet, with a spectacular
location. It's 83 feet below the streets of New York's financial
district, It's 33 feet below sea level, It rests upon the very
bedrock of Manhattan Island.
It's a vault protected by an elaborate system as spec
tacular as Its location. No one can get into the vault unless
three men, each with three different keys to fit three separate
locks, open the doors. A guard force of expert marksmen is
on watch at all times. No one even can approach the vault
of course, unless his credentials are beyond question. At the
end of each business day, a special guard turns a wheel
which closes a cone-shaped, 90-ton steel vault and lowers it
three-eights of an inch into place. The ritual of the door
closing reminds an onlooker of a cork going into a bottle.
What Is this room? It Is the vault which lies at the bottom
most level of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at 33
Liberty St., Manhattan, and which today holds over $13 bil
lion of the free world s gold more gold than is stored in any
other place in the Western world.
"Cold" Is in the htadlinas all otr lha world today as
lha nations of in Wast continue to pile up anormous
claims against tha U.S. dollar and wa intensify our efforts
to k..p tham from turning Ihtir dollar claims into our
gold, thereby draining our gold raserva to a dangerously
low level and putting an intolerable strain on our dollar.
Because we have for years been persistently spending
more abroad than we have been earning abroad and because
as a result our foreign creditors have built up dollar balances
which they have exchanged in part for gold, our gold hoard
is now under (13.8 billion, lowest since 1939. While so far
In 1963 we have lost "only ' another 1180 million, our balance
of payments position Is still bleak, and the Treasury itself
admits the outflow of gold from the U.S. will accelerate.
Thus, the worried minds of the free world are concen
tratlng more and more on this subterranean vault in which
so much of the West's gold Is stored, and thus, with an of
ficial of the New York Federal Reserve as a companion, I
went down to the bedrock of Manhattan Island the other
day to see it. Since this Is a visit few of you ever will make,
some impressions might Intrigue you.
Just watching each man use his special key to unlock a
special part of the doors so you can get into the vault is an
experience.
Once inside, there is the startling spectacle of gold bars
representing tens of millions of dollars piled in long rows
In the middle of the big room. A standard gold bar is about
the size of a common building brick, but each bar 7 Inches
long, 3 inches wide, 1 inches thick weighs almost 400
troy ounces or almost 27 pounds. To indicate what this weight
means, the men who shift the bars around wear heavy cor
rugated aluminum shoe guards so their toes won't be crushed
if a bar Is dropped.
Each gold bar is worth $13,434.79.
Tha huge scale on which tha weight of gold bars com
ing into the vault Is verified Is another impressive sight.
So sansitiva is this scale thai it will weigh an object to lha
nearest 1100 of a trop ounce one-third the weight of a
dollar bill. (My companion placed a dollar bill on tha scale
and It moved perceptibly.)
Then there are the 118 cages lining the walls in which
the gold bars of each country owning metal are carefully
slacked. Each gray-wired cage has two combination locks
and a padlock which can be opened only by different Reserve
officials. Each Is identified only by a number and the Federal
reserve will not reval the identity of the country behind the
number. On some cages are wax seals indicating when their
contents were last checked by the Reseve.
We were at ease as we wandered around the vault which
has no parallel anywhere, but the clock-and-dagger atmos
Dhere was unmistakable nevertheless. As one more illustra
tion, it has an alarm which can seal off all means of escape
from the bank within 10 seconds.
. Naxti How gold flows out of tha United Siataa today.
Map Is Necessary For Capital Travel
By MAHIJANE DUNCAN
Washington, D.C. - Imagine
a large diamond. This one is
balanced precariously on one
tip, criss-crossed by a tangled
skein of red and black lines,
splashed here and there with
blobs of green, and surround
ed by a large rectangle mark
ed "The Capitol Mall."
This is an image engraved
forever upon one's conscious
ness after weeks of studying
maps titled "Washington and
Surrounding Areas."
For a newcomer to most
cities, the first requirement is
a map. Since there are more
new comers to Washington
than any other American city,
there are, perforce, more
students of maps than else
where. Their cars can be seen
stopped on busy streets while

was elected a member of the
board of directors of the Jack

the youngest of the health

prevention, treatment, reha
bilitation and education In the
field of mental illness.
He stated the Mental Health
association is concerned with
not only the patient in the
state hospital, but also with
the disturbed child In need of
guidance, the recovered men-
tal patient trying to find his
place In the community, and
clergymen, police officers or
teachers who need to know
how to deal with problems of
mental Illness.
He emphasized that it Is one
of the most crucial health
problems of our day.
To acquaint board members
with the work of professional
agencies, Mr. Evans intro
duced David Kuhns, director
of the Jackson County Wei
tare commission; Mrs. A. J.
Kanclicr, supervisor of public

their drivers ponder the in
tricacies of the city's high
ways and byways.
After a while it becomes a
game. Finding a new and bet
ter way to get from one side
of the District to the other -from
suburb to District or
suburb to suburb - both tax
and stimulate the imagina
tion. For instance, when I
found a way to get to a
friend's house that saved five
minutes and avoided four
stoplights, I felt akin to a
mountaineer who had located
a new route to the summit.
Time-saving is as important,
or more so, than mileage
saving - not to mention the
saving in wear and tear on
the nerves that is accomplish
ed in avoiding traffic tie-ups.
Bob's solution to this particu
lar hazard is to leave early
in the morning and return
late - or perhaps this should
only be classed as a dividend
of keeping very long office
hours.
Avoids Peak Traffic
My drives Into the city are
not usually made at peak traf
fic hours. However, I have
gotten caught in the home
ward rush, which begins at
four or earlier and goes on till
after seven. My reaction, upon
finally and miraculously ar
riving safe at home is, "How
do people go through this day
after day and keep their san
ity?" I must admit I take a cer
tain pride now in being able
to find my way around. How
ever, I will confess to leaning
heavily on my map. I try to
study it surreptitiously when
on the road, so that others
will not know that i am
a tourist. . .
Not that there Is anything
reprehensible about tourists.
It is just that one hopes to
graduate, eventually, to being
a wily denizen of the Wash
ington jungle - at least before
the home-folks come to visit.
Jobs in Western

However, the gain fell short
of the expected increase by
