While sonate independents sought
today to strengthen the inflation
ary provisions of the administra

veteran Virginia demoorat, de
nounced the devaluation of the

gold contont ot tbe dollar.
Expansion Estimated

no mandatory currency expansion
provided in the original bill.
"We are considering whether
or not to provide tor the man

upon the surplus gold resulting
from devaluation." Borah said,
