Russian gold dispute stalls legal battle in New York
Twenty crimson casks of gold valued at 3201 pounds of Russian gold are involved in a federal suit filed by France to recover bars held by Equitable Trust Co and Chase National Bank. The case questions Soviet ownership and the US stance on recognizing the USSR, with American courts lacking clear authority to sue the Soviet government. The embargo on Russia gold and bank title guarantees complicate assay and ownership issues. In Freisburg Maryland, Mrs Freis Ross dies at 90 leaving 7 children and many descendants.
