GOLD HOARD DROPS; FOREIGN ACCOUNTS BETTER WASHINGTON, March 21—®— Gold holdings of the United States government have declined more than $370,000,000 in the six mqnths ince the foreign currency devaiu- ations last September. Officials here expressed belief to- day that the chief cause for the| withdrawals has been improvement in the balance of international ac- counts. This, they said, is taking the pressure off foreign countries to send gold here to pay for goods and enabling them to rebuild reserves with gold from this country. A small percentage of the metal went into U.S. manufacture of jewelry, dental appliances, etc. The decline in the gold stock since it reached the peak of $24,- continued the search yesterday and j spotted nccasional sea NO TRACE FOUND | Anchorage, Alaska, March 21— | —Search planes failed today to | find any trace of three men who had keen reported riding an ice floe perilously toward the sea.
