Financiers plan test case on gold clause in US money
May 9 Washington. New Deal attorneys face a fresh worry as prominent financial interests back a move to test the nullification of the gold payment clause in government securities. A New York law firm is said to aid, proposing the Treasury be asked on June 15 to accept a Thousand Dollar Treasury Note due that day in payment of sixteen hundred ninety dollars income tax. The group argues the government promised par value on maturity and thus made securities receivable for taxes equal to a thousand times twenty five and four fifth grains of gold.
