Gold Outflow Less
Less Than Predicted
WASHINGTON UP! — The gov
ernment said the U. S. balance of
payments deficit in July, August
and September was not quite as
big as estimated earlier.
The Commerce Department
said the deficit, which has led to
heavy sales of gold to foreigners,
was at an annual rate of $4.1 bil
lion in the third quarter. The pre
liminary estimate had been $4.3
billion.
In any event, the amount was
up sharply from the second quar
ter rate of $2.8 billion.
A heavy flow of American capi
tal to Europe, to take advantage
of higher short-term interest rates
there, was largely responsible
for the quarterly increase.
Lucille Lomen, Nome born
daughter of Mrs. Alfred Lomen
and her late husband, has been
named to the top legal post at the
General Electric Aircraft Nuclear
Propulsion Department. She is the
first woman to hold the position
of counsel with a General Elec
tric department.
