Black Market Gold
Brings $51 An
Ounce On Macao
MANILA, i/P)—An international
black market dealing in millions
of dollars worth of gold bullion
and golden Mexico pesos destined
for inflation-beset China is doing
a thriving business on Macao,
Portuguese island colony at the
mouth of the Canton river, official
Filipino sources said Saturday.
Chinese merchants, desperate
for some readily convertible means
of exchange, are paying stiff pre
miums to obtain the precious
metal, these sources said.
While members of the world
monetary fund have sought to
keep the price of gold stabilized
at $35 a troy ounce, Macao trans
actions run at a minimum of $51
an ounce. This premium has cre
ated a golden flow toward Macao.
Where Chinese purchasers can ob
tain possession without fear of
confiscation by the Chinese gov
ernment, which has banned pri
vate trading in gold.
Finance Secretary Miguel Cua
derno said Saturday that the Phil
ippine republic has cooperated
with world monetary fund mem
bers by refusing to permit export
of gold to Macao or any other
point where it is definitely known
that black market prices prevail.
Argentina is 2,300 miles long.

Army Air Force
Marks Field
Friday, August 1, was Army
Air Force Day, and citzens of
Nome were invited to inspect air
planes and equipment at the local
Marks Field. Several types of
planes were lined up on the park
way and were open to the public,
types including bombers, amphibi
ans, trainers, navy type planes
and specially-equipped search and
rescue planes.
Radar equipment recently ob- j
tained for the local air base was I
also on display and was explained
to visitors who were interested in
witnessing the spotting of aircraft
flying in the vicinity. The equip
ment is housed in a huge trailer
truck arrangement with the power :
plant on the truck and the elec- j
tronic equipment on the trailer.1
The revolving and stationary an
tennae network is atop the control
room.
The spotter and control posi
tions, of which there are five, are
arranged so that each operator
can view the area on an echo map,
which shows the refelcted image
of any object in the path of the
ultra-high frequency radio wave
, of the transmitter, thus, the signal
reflected from a plane is made
visible to the operator, who can
follow its course, and give instruc
tions for landing.
The map or reflected image is
viewed on a large radar-scope,
which can be changed by the op
erator, to cover areas of 30, 15,
and 7172 miles radius.
The new equipment will greatly
facilitate blind landings and make
for safer night flying in the area. |
The “air show’ was put on by
navy-type planes flying in forma- |
tion and singly in a radius of!
twenty miles.
Col. John E. Bodle, commanding
officer of the Nome Air Base,
spoke on the radio, commemorat
ing the day. He gave a brief his
tory of aviation, from the Kitty
hawk days to the present, and the
dire need for a strong, and up-to
the-minute, United States air
force, with continued stress on
training of youth for protection of
the future.
Last but not least, was inspec
tion of the fire fighting equipment1
which is in charge of fire chief
Sam Huxley. The large two-story
building on the north side of thei
runway, houses four big trucks
which are complete fire-fighting
units, ready for any emergency.
The upper floor contains apart- i
ment and dormitory for the crews, i
