PAGE TEN RUSSIAN GOLD IS BEING SENT '- TO GERMANY, Legal Skirmishes Which Kept Treasure Idle Six Weeks Not Yet Ended —— New York, April 6—(AP)—Five million dollars worth of gold bars sent here last February by the Rus- sian government was on the way back to Europe today, but the legal skirmishes which kept the treasure} idle in bank vaults for six weeks! were not yet ended. The gold was on the liner Dresden en route for Bremen. The soviet gold arrived on Febru- ary 21, consigned jointly to the Chase National bank and the Equita- ble Trust company. It was to have been used as a basis for credit in trade relitions between the soviet and the United States. But the treasury department re- fused to accept it for assay. Mean- while, the bar lay stacked in vaults, losing interest at the rate of $700 a ay. Shortly after the treasury depart- ment .announced its decision, the Bank of France started suit in the United States district court for session of the gold, alleging that be- fore the Russian revolution it had deposited with the State Bank of it Russia $5,000,000 which never was returned. This action still is pend- fing, but no attachment was issued against the gold and there was no legal bar to its removal. Representatives of the soviet bank here said the gold was being sent to a bank in Berlin, where it would be| restored to use for credit purposes. This would not affect the status of | pending legal actions, they said, and the interests of the two New York banks concerned had been fully pro- tected, Two Veteran Hotel Men Join Staff of Patterson Hostelry Two veteran hotel men have joined the Patterson hotel staff, Ed- ward G, Patterson, proprietor, an- nounced today.
