Kennedy seeks to free silver from government backing
New York AP reports silver investors dumped part of their holdings after prices rose from 9 1/4 cents to about $1.04 an ounce, prompting President Kennedy to ask Congress to gradually remove silver from U S government control. The plan would demote silver to coin use only, while the Treasury remains required to buy newly mined silver at 90 1/2 cents. Demand from industry and electronics has spurred consumption to about 430.7 million ounces in 1961, with 542 million ounces used in coinage and 62.8 million sold for commercial use last year.
