Hope Diamond Devalued In Estimate Of Federal Assets
A federal report fixes the national assets at 262.05 billion dollars as of mid 1958, but values many items at original cost. The Hope diamond is carried at zero value, while a 2,322 acre Randolph Air Force Base site is listed at zero and the White House grounds at one thousand. The report notes reforms to list assets at realistic acquisition costs. The Japanese representative in the United States was elevated to ambassador on April 6, 1905.
