In addition, the second deficiency appropriation bill, now in conference on Capitol Hill, includes $150,000 to strengthen ot mints and assay offices. Hiding Place is Secret. While Treasury officials would not disclose just where it has stored its $9,147,000,000 stock of gold, about $3,- 000,000,000 is reported piled up in the Denver Mint, and a similar amount in the New York Assay Office. Only about $18,000,000 is in gold coins, which soon will be melted into bullion. Other gold is reported in the Philadelphia Mint and in various Federal Reserve Bank strongholds. Much of this bullion is believed to be destined eventually to the Fort Knox stronghold, which, like the new San Francisco Mint, w!ll be as im- pregnable as modern science can make it. Both will be of granite and rein- forced concrete construction, with passageways separating the massive inner vaults from the outer walls, Guarded by Machine Guns. ‘The Fort Knox building will have a granite roof which engineers believe will make it almoest bombproof. Guards will be on 24-hour duty in four machine-gun “pillboxes” mount- ed in the outer walls. Interlocking “I” beams of special steel will reinforce the 2-foot thick walls of the San Prancisco vault Port Knox specifications call for “I” beam, mesh or interlocking steel spirals over which the concrete will be poured. “It would take skilled mechanics s month to drill into these vaults,” 2 procurement official said. Elaborate “electric ears” and other protective devices will augment hu- man watchers at the gold strongholds Ploodlights, gas and radio equipment and emergency generaiors are planned “Criminals would have practically no chance to pierce these vaults,” the official continued, “and even a general uprising or mob attack could be stood off for some time.” At hearings before a House Appro- priations Subcommittee W. C. Cram, Jr., technical adviser in the Treasury. said precautions were being taken against the possibility of mob assaults. Marriage Licenses. Albert T.
