I To the plain spoken, mild
hammered Texan, the new de-
velopment loan. policy makes
plain horse sense at a time
when this country is losing
dollars. An aide, echoing Mr.,
Anderson's views, said:
What if we provide cash for
a country and say, go buy
yourself a power plant in West
Germany Would we be help
ing that country or West
Germany. which doesn't need
any help?"
In dollars and cents the new
policy is unlikely to have a pro-
found effect soon. From Mr.
Anderson's point Of view, this
may not be too important.
The Secretary has always
emphasized the Importance of
confidence, which often can be
influenced as much by psychol-
ogy as by measurable develop
mentS.
In one sense, the new loan
policy is a psychological move.
It is intended to show the
world that the United States
will take any action necessary
to maintain confidence in the
dollar. y
This in itself could help in
spire confidence, though Mr.
Anderson's critics aren't buying
this argument.
Balanced Budget Stand
Mr.. Anderson takes much
the same view toward a bal
anced budget. He has conceded
privately that a small deficit
would be no financial disaster
However. he insists on seeking
a balance because otherwise. he

Foreign Aid Changes
Attributed to Anderson
BY FRANK CORNER
Associated Press atan Writer

Robert B. Anderson, the quiet
man who is Secretary Of the
Treasury. has quietly brought
about a hard-eyed reappraisal
Of the United States foreign aid
program.
Just as important. he has put
across a new policy designed to
insure that a bigger proportion
of loans to underdeveloped
countries are spent in the
United States.
Working behind the scenes,
Mr.. Anderson won administra-
ton backing for these major
policy moves without touching
Of an acrimonious public de-
bate. @ '- - E
Infiuence, Stressed
His performance has solidi-
fed the widespread impression
here that he is the most in
fiuential member Of President
Eisenhower's cabinet.
While the Secretary's aides
take pains to point out that
Mr.. Eisenhower made the de-
cisions and the new policies
are administration policies, Mr.,
Anderson was the architect.
He acted because he felt
some changes might be made
in the aid program that would
help stem the outflow Of gold
and dollars from the United
States.
This outflow, measured in
terms Of the country's balance
of international payments, will
reach $14 billion this year.
Since trade produces'a surplus,
all of this deficit results from
military spending abroad, for
eign aid and private invest
ment overseas.
AS the Treasury chief. it is
Mr.. Anderson's job to watch
this deficit because it inevitably
affects the stability Of the dol
lar.
Critics say that the benefits
to be gained from tying de-
velopment loans to purchases
in the United States ere pid-
ding compared to the poten-
tial harm.
They say it represents q
turning-away from this coun-
try's liberal trade policy and
may encourage protectionist
forces.
-
As Internationalist
Mr.. Anderson does not see
himself as a protectionist but
rather as an internationalist.
He believes the payments de-
flcit itself would strengthen

able that among all the snap
shots taken by you during the
past year, some are going to
stand a good chance of win
ming at least a weekly SIS prize
at the local level.
If you feel that you have
no suitable photos already

Der last years winners.
Action May Help
Although action is not a
necessary requisite. it may
well help. When shooting pic
lures of the children or pets
or other animals, try to catch
them in some sort of inter-
esting activity. For example.
a snapshot of a youngster
catching a ball will be a lot
more interesting than one of
the same lad sitting stiffly
posed on your front porch.
BY the same token, you will
come up with a fine snapshot
if you can catch the family
cat playing with a ball OF
yarn or in the act of Sneaking
up on an unwary bird. Dogs
can easily be prevailed upon
to act comically simply by
having someone romp with
them while you aim and
shoot the camera.
Race track fans can take a
camera along and come home
with exciting and action
packed shots of the ponies
coming across the finish line.
So, for q greater chance to
win one of the prizes this
year, try to get some life into
your pictures. Next week we
will discuss other ideas that
may be helpful.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
U. S. Mints-2

On July 4, 1929, in Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson's adj
ministration, the cornerstone
was laid for the second
United States Mint. 1t was
on the northeast corner Of
Chestnut and Juniper streets
in Philadelphia, about a mile
west of the first building. The
white marble structure, in
Grecian style, cost more than
5000, 900.
The mill and screw process
of coin striking, in use since
the 10th century, was carried
over to the new building. In
1896, however, a new steam
press method was imported
from France. This was con-
sidered such a major advance
in technique that a special
medal was later struck to
commemorate the event.
Medals early became a Seri-
GUS part of the mint's busi-
ness. Moritz Furst, a die
sinker and seal cutter of
Philadelphia, made some dies
for medals before the War of
1912. In 1922, Congress for
mally instructed the director
of the mint to strike "a rea-
sonable number of medals
commemorative of important
events in the history of the
United States" These are
still available, and include a
series of presidential medals
from Washington to Eisen-
hover selling at $3.50 each.
One of the most artistic Is

Another activity of the
Philadelphia Mint, which ex-
banded as its efficiency in
creased and time permitted,
is the production of proof
coins. Originally these were
the first run from new dies,
carefully handled and more
perfect than regular run
pieces. when intended as
presentation pieces to visit

were first polished and the
coins hand struck.
Proof coins now are sold at
the Mint for the current year
only, at $2.10 a set. Popular
ity of proof coins ca n be
gagged by the increase from
