Two Million Ounces Auction Of Gold Could Be Slow WASHINGTON (U PI) Today's auction of 2 million ounces of gold, valued at perhaps $400 million, will not be much different than government sales of surplus desks.

Six employes of the General Services Administration, the government's property management agency, gather around a plain, government-issue table. One will open sealed bids. Another calls out the offering. The third writesdownthebid.Two are observers. The items auctioned are 400-ounce bricks of 99.9uper cent pure gold.

The experts suy it will take a minimum of SG8.000 to get one. Successful bidders will have to pay with cash or certified check and make arrangements for removing the gold from stockpiles in New York, Denver and Sun Francisco. GSA and Treasury officials declined to speculate on the demand. Charles R. Stuhl.

publisher of the authoritative Green's Commodity Market Comments, was one of the private experts to predict the bidding probably will be slow. "I would expect no more than 10 per cent of the gover- 'ment's gold offering to be said. Stahl, whose gold predictions have been accurate for the past two years, said the Treasury auction will depress world gold prices even more. Gold dropped nearly S30, from peaks of nearly S200 an ounce, early last week. Gold prices plummeted on world markets after U.S.

demand failed to materialize when the 41-year ban on private gold ownership expired. Stahl said the Treasury probably will accept bids that are no more than S3 below the London price for gold today. Bused on last week's experience, minimum acceptable bid would be about S170 an ounce. Treasury William B. Simon said less than 1 per cent of the government's gold holdings of 276 million ounces were being sold to offset any rush in demand and increased imports thut would weaken the U.S.

The Sinn Fein, political arm of the IRA's militant Provisional wing, said Sunday it would help set up talks with Britain on extending a holiday season truce Indefinitely. "We are willing to act as messenger boys between the government and the Provisional IRA leadership," said Seamus Loughran, the Sinn Fein's northern organizer. The IRA Is outlawed in Northern Ireland, but the Sinn Fein is a legal political party in the troubled province. There was no Immediate reaction from Britain to the possibility of talks aimed at ending the Protestant-Roman Catholic fighting, which has taken 1,143 lives in the province. The holiday truce, which entered its 15th day today, is the longest cease-fire since sectarian strife erupted In August, 1969.

The truce Is scheduled to end on Jan. 16.
