1934. By Associated Press) ASHINGTON, June officials believe the new- silver purchase plan will cause a currency expansion of at least $940300,000, with corresponding Increases In commodity prices by the end of the year. This was disclosed today after Representative Dies (D-Tex), coauthor of the plan, announced the treasury already had bought around 70,000,000 ounces of silver. The exact amount he said, could not be ascertained positively because the metal was being purchased on markets all over the world, and the treasury tabulations were not up to the minute. Average Price Paid It was reported elsewhere that the average price paid for the silver already purchased was 44 cents an Details Bared Of Intimacies Woman Identifies Preacher As CL 1 i ui iue Man She Marned; Seeking without paying Denies Were Ever Wed They ounce.

The law now requires the treasury to buy silver until that metal constitutes 25 per cent of its monetary reserve. Against all silver purchases, the treasury must issue certificates based on the price paid for the metal. Dies said the treasury estimated it would have to buy 1.254.000,000 ounces of silver to comply with the new law. Two Billion Ounces "Counting the silver now owned by the government, this will give us about 2,000.000,000 ounces of silver," he said. "Under my bill, the treasury can Issue $2.058.000,000 of new silver certificates based on the sil ver we must acquire.

Treasury actuaries, and administration officials, however, reached their estimate of $940,500.000 in new currency by the first of the year on a different valuation.
