End of Gold Standard Backing From Treasury
The Treasury on Wednesday urged phasing out gold as a monetary anchor citing market rumors and volatility. Volcker, Burns, and Nixon aides reiterated that the new system may reduce gold’s role while keeping dollar policy consistent. London market chatter is seen as separate from actual dollar value.

Allies Reject Enemy Bid For Talks
PARIS API The United States and South Vietnam rejected for the fifth consecutive week Communist proposals to resume the peace conference on the Vietnam War. After the rejection Mme. Nguyen Thi Binh, Viet Cong premier and delegation driver here, announced she would leave Paris Thursday for Africa. Washington said the United States will return to talks only if the Communists signal readiness for serious discussions. The Viet Cong delegation later asked again for American or South Vietnamese delegates to return to resume negotiations. Both the U S and South Vietnamese delegations sent refusals for a fifth week, insisting negotiations address distance and the North Vietnamese invasion and offensives in South Vietnam. The conference was suspended May 4 as neither side showed willingness to negotiate seriously. The Viet Cong statement urged immediate end to bombardments and a restart of conference on Vietnam as a path to serious negotiations.
