Natural Resources Conservation Week
Planned In Virginia For October LII

Vireinia's annual Natural Re-
sources Conservation Week has
been set for October ll-l7, The
dates were designated by Cover
nor John S Battle, who issued
the following statement:
1T seems appropriate that Vim
ginians of all walks of life should
pause annually to take stock of
the natural resources that have
contributed SO much to make ours
a great State. In order that we
may alert ourselves to the i'm
portance of protecting and using
wisely these natural resources. I
urge all Virginians to join With
the Virginia Association Of Soil
Conservation Districts in the third

Benton Cites Savings.
Mr.. Brenton said he does not
share the feeling expressed in
some quarters that a recession
is to be expected. He cited the
savings of American people, now
running at an annual rate of
SIT billion, as a substantial
cushion for the economy. He
added he has see. no psychology
of fear in his travels over the
country.
A youngish, heavy-set man
with graying hair, he spoke in

people Of the United States"
Reviewing the last two years
Mr.. Robertson said production
and employment have been at
very high levels, the buying
power of the dollar has been
relatively stable, credit has not
been so easy to obtain and that
it costs a good deal more than
it did in 1850.
"ThoSe changes in our A.
nancial situation have not been
coincidental," he said. Each
is related to the others and no
one of them could have hap
pened alone.
Superficial Analysis.
"Yet there are superficial
analyses made constantly, stress
ing one aspect: that when pub
lie utilities issue long term
bonds, they may have TO pay
per bent instead of 3; that when
an individual buys a home, the
interest rate on his mortgage
may be 5 per cent instead of 4;
that when the Federal Govern
ment borrowS for 80 days, it
pays around 2 per cent-more
than twice what it paid a few
years ago." he continued.
THAT looks pretty bad. We
are told that higher interest
rates make it more costly today
for a man to buy a home for
his family, and that taxpayers
you and I-bear a heavier bur-
den because the Government has
to pay millions more in interest
every year.
But what about the fact that
the man who wants to buy a
home for his family no longer
has the jitters that come from
constantly jumping prices? And
what about the fact that the
Government no longer has to
pay billions more every year for
the things it purchases, as hap
pened when imitation was swell

Robertson said, is designed "tc

Controller Of the Currency Ray
M. Gidney said it would be diff
cult to find evidence that the
current higher interest rates have

interest rates have risen, he said,
they are still at a very moderate
level.
The Controller, who admins
ters the regulations affecting Ma
tional banks. said those banks are
in a strong position and the
overall picture is very good"
Savings deposits of commercial
banks and mutual savings banks
have risen to $65.7 billion from
$28.8 billion or more than 125
per cent in the last 10 years
and are still rising.
This was emphasized today
by Wendell T. Burns, president
of the Savings and Mortgage Di-
vision. He is senior vice presi-
dent of the Northwestern Ma
tional Bank of Minneapolis.
The banks increase amounted
to $4.6 billion in the year ended
June 80, compared with a gain
of $50 billion in the previous
year, he said. Commercial banks
gained $2.8 billion to reach $42.1
billion while mutual savings
banks gained $1.8 billion to
reach $23.6 billion.
Increase Over $12 Billion.
Including savings and loan
funds, life insurance reserves,
United States Savings Bonds and
postal savings, total liquid saw
ings approximated $210.6 billion
on June 80, an increase of $12.2
billion from a year earlier, he
added.
1T has been an encouraging
year to the saver as well as the
savings bankers" he declared.
Along with the growth of saw
ings has been an upward trend
in the rate of interest paid. The
dollar reward for thrift has
been increased. Savings have
become more attractive.
Confidence in a flexible"
credit policy of the Federal Re
serve System and caution" of
the Treasury in meeting the
problem of Federal debt manage
ment was expressed by Roy L.

He predicted that the Federal

Maryland Assembly
Gets ; Bills 10 Shift
| Planning Functions
By q staff Correspondent Of The ssur

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. g. The
much discussed legislation to
abolish the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission was introduced today in
the Maryland General Assembly.
Three bills were introduced in
the House of Delegates by the
joint Montgomery and Prince
Georges delegations. All six
Montgomery delegates and four
of the six Prince Georges dele
gates are Republicans.
If approved. the bills would
transfer the function of the
planning commission to the two
counties. The Montgomery func-
tons now held by the bi-coupty,
State controlled agency, would
be put under the County Council,
which also would be given au-
thority to set up a county wide
planning commission to replace
the present upper Montgomery
County Planning Commission.
Prince Georges would get a
seven-member planning commits
sion appointed by the Governor
with Jurisdiction over the same
urban area now handled by the
State planning group. This is the
same provision that was in the
1851 law rejected by the legis-
lature. The Montgomery delega-
ton also tried unSucceSsfully to
abolish the planning commission
in 1947 and 1949.
