Move to test U S gold clause plan disclosed in Washington
A new test of the administration gold clause abrogation aims to force treasury acceptance of government securities at their old gold value for tax payments.

Taft's suit over a $1.06 interest coupon on a $50 gold liberty bond prompts the government response to dismiss claims.
