Where were you, Mr.. Goldberg,

lism on domestic economic issues.
What are the real objections to
Strauss?
First, that his record with the
A o m ic Energy Commission
showed a subservience to the
viewpoint of the private power
lobby. He showed it not only in
the Dixon Yates affair but in
nearly all his plans Cor the way
he has delayed plans for the de-
velopment of peace-time use Of
atomic energy. While the rest of
the Western nations move ahead,
we continue to lag because the
private power companies want
all the benefit of the research
paid for by the taxpayers, while
retaining all the profits and con-
troll in their own hands.
The next objection is that
Strauss is considered even more
conservative than his predeces-
sor, Sinclair Weeks, when it
comes to initiating moves to aid
depressed areas, increase aid for
the unemployed, Or trying to
work out trade agreements with
the Iron Curtain countries. In
these areas, except the last, it
must be acknowledged that his
opponents are guessing on the
basis of his past performance.
They are not sure what he might
do because Strauss himself ap-
parently has not given the mat
tiers too much thought up to this
point.
But they do know the Secre-
tary of Commerce enjoys a stra-
tegic position in shaping the do
nestle economy. AS one newspa-

proaches everything from the
viewpoint of Wall ST. rather than
from the viewpoint of Main St"

HOW DID THEY DO IT? -
While all banks benefited to some
extent Patman explained that
1910 of these securities went. to
only 2 per cent of the banks in
the nation. Almost $50 of the
bonanza went to 18 banks in New
York City.
"How did the commercial
banks of the country acquire this
S10.4 billion of government Sc
curities? In nutshell, they Gre
ated the money with which to
buy them. They created new
money in this amount on the
credit of the US. which cost them

RGS)."
Patman explained that the Fed
eral Reserve gave its member
banks additional reserves" and
that because of the fractional re-
serve system on which CONNER
cial banks operate this meant
that each bank could create "sev-
eral dollars of new mony for
each dollar of new reserves"
1t was not only enormous prof.
its to which Patman objected, he
explained. 1t was that this sys-
tenn of allowing the banks to
create money-credit has inherent
within it great future dangers to
the economy. Right now, it might
be added, the banks are under
taking tremendous propaganda
campaign to convince federal au-
thorities that they be required to
keep as reserves" only 10 per
cent of every dollar in credit they
issue.

Store Salesman
Acquitted in Trial
For $4,000 Fire

Charles N. Gibson, 40, was
acquitted yesterday of setting
fire to the Crosby Shoe Store,
300 block of Fourteenth street
NV, after evidence the Gov
eminent sought to present had
been ruled inadmissible.
Mr.. Gibson, of the 1400 block
of Columbia road NV. had
been accused of setting the fire
there last May while employed
at the store as a salesman. The
fire caused an estimated dam
age of $4,000.
District Court Judge Mat
thew F. MCGUIRE entered a
judgment of acquittal of Mr..
Gibson, after holding that the
Governments main evidence
a statement made by Mr.. Glib
son to a fire investigator-was
lnadmissible. The case had gone
on trial before a jury, which
had heard testimony mainly as
to the damage done by the fire.
Judge MCGUIRE ruled that
Mr.. Gibson, who had not been
arrested when questioned by
the investigator, Fire Depart
ment 1t. Kermit r. Mullins,
had been under psychological
duress" when making the al
legged statement.

heart in this respect by large

Asks Specific Goals
Prof. Gordon complained
that under both the Republic
cans and Democrats the annual
economic report has not been
specific enough In predicting
economic goals. He said an
administration should not be
afraid to say frankly in these
reports what range of wage
increases 1t believes compatible
with price stability.
Discussing world trade, the
witness said he has a suspicion
that this country is slowly and
in somewhat hypocritical ways
becoming more protectionist.
I'VE continue to preach the
need for a liberal, non-discrim-
inatory trade policy in our rela-
lions with other countries, but
we are not above using dis
criminatory quotas ourselves
and even enlisting the support
of the exporting country to
enforce Them" he said.

the approach road network as
"shockingly ugly" and absurd. ="
Mr.. Thompson was one Of
the sponsors Of legislation
which provided a Foggy Bot
tom site for the National Gull
tural Center. He has objected
that the approach road network
would mar the beauty Of the
proposed Cultural Center.
+ The latest controversy over
the long-delayed span was
kicked up three weeks ago
when the Fine Arts Commission
withdrew its approval Of the
bridge design. The commission
said it took this action because
the Highway Department had
not forwarded approach road
plans to the commission as
promised and because the APP
proach roads would damage the
Lincoln Memorial area.
Working With Architect
Mr.. Thompson said the pro-
test letters came from the Ma
'tional Music Council, the Amer
lean Educational Theater As
ISOLATION and Walter Reuther,
president Of the United Auto
Workers union.
District Commissioner Well
ing said the Highway Depart
ment is working with Edward
Durell Stone, New York archi-
tect designing the Cultural Gen.
ter. to solve the problems in
golving the center and highways.
The Cultural Center Board of
Trustees has not taken part
In the controversy.
A spokesman for Arthur S.
Flemming, Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, said
that while the proposed high
way network is a drawback.
1t is not viewed as an insur-
mountable problem.
Equal Importance"
Commissioner yelling said
he regards the Cultural Center
and highway network as "of
equal Importance in their own
fields" He added that the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission made it clear that the
Cultural Center would be To-
Gated in the remainder of the
area after the highway net
work was established"

GoafProposed
For U. 5. Jobs,
Growth, Prices

A "4-4-l" formula for
achieving reasonably full en-
ployment and steady economic
growth was laid before the
House-Senate Economic Com
mittee today by Prof. r. A.
Gordon Of the University Of
California.
Assuming that even So
called full employment" must
allow for about 3 per cent Of
the labor force being out Of
jobs at any given time, the
witness proposed this goal:
Try to keep the average rate
Of unemployment at less than
4 per cent a year, while aiming
for a 4 per cent rate Of annual
growth in gross national prod
uct, with an increase of not
more than per cent a year
in the level Of prices.
Consumer Pays for Peace
"This is my All formula, "
the witness said. IF necessary,
! should be willing to pay a
slightly higher price in terms
Of the price level, but we should
see If we cannot develop poll
cies which hold the cost In
terms of imitation down to /
per cent per year."
Prof. Gordon said employers
want industrial peace and de-
velopments during the last Is
years Suggest to them that the
price that has to be paid can
be shifted to the consumer"

ance to wage increases shown
by the steel industry this year

College RemOdels KrehbieI Bridge
With Modern Wrought Iron Ratings

Face-lifting of Bluffton col
lege's popular Krehbiel foot
bridge across Little Riley creek
was recently completed by the
college maintenance crew, cour-
tesy of the Krehbiel family which
donated the bridge.
Arranging for the work was
Joe Krehbiel, a Californian who
recently stopped at BC to visit
his sister, Mary, a junior at the
school. They are both descend
ants of the H. J. Krehbiel
family, who donated Krehbiel
Bridge as a memorial to the
college about 1919. At that
time H. J. Krehbiel and his fam
lily were living in Trenton, Ohio,
where Rev. Krehbiel was pastor
of the Mennonite Church. Several
of his children attended Bluffton
college, including Walter, Mary'S
father, and Arthur, whose daugh-
ter, Laura, was a student here
in 1867.
Prior to 1919 there was no
bridge over Riley Creek. Step
ping stones were provided, but
they were absolutely useless in
high water, of course. Girls who
didn't want to risk snakes and
high water usually went to class
by way of the College avenue
bridge.
While attending his daughter
Ruth's commencement in 1918,
Rev. Krehbiel was impressed by
the need for a footbridge across
the Riley and decided to donate
one. By 1919 or 1920, Krehbiel
Bridge had been built - a
rustic bridge with log ratings
and an archway that featured
the name "Krehbiel" written in
twig letters. The first bridge
was built by c. B. AmstutZ, then
Commissioner of Buildings and
Grounds, and since then the col
lege has assumed the response
bility of maintaining the bridge.

Candidates Fail
To File Expenses
With Election Bd.

Thirty-five of 243 candidates for
municipal offices in the recent
elections held in Allen county
have failed to comply with the
state law requiring that they file
a list of their campaign expens-
eS with the board of elections.
The statewide deadline for fill
ing the expense accounts by the
candidates was at 4 p. m. Fri
day.
Out of the 35 who did not file,
10 were elected to office, accord
ing to r. G.. Patterson, clerk of
the board of elections.
The penalty for not filing with
in the IS day period following the
election is that candidates will
not be able to run for office for
five years. However, the 10 can
didates who were elected will be
able to serve out their terms of
office.
The 35 candidates who did not
file their expense accounts will
be notified of the ruling by Coun-
ty Prosecutor Anthony Bowers.

eral Conference in Bluffton this
summer, Arthur Krehbiel de-
cided that something should be
done to make the bridge more
permanent. He discussed his
idea with Mary's father, who
authorized his son Joe and
friend, Art Bergthold, to go
ahead with the bridge project
since the boys had planned to
make a trip East anyway.
Arriving on the Be campus,
Joe and Art surveyed the situa-
ton, obtained wrought iron rail-
ing from Lima, and soon were
outfitted in welder's masks, re-
placing the wooden railings. The
new bridge, still incomplete, will
eventually have a wrought iron
archway saying ''Krehbiel" on
me Ropp Hall side.
Herman Hilty and members of
the college maintenance crew,
Glenn Snyder and Mike Ahi-
jewych, have been busy putting
the finishing touches on the
bridge.

Christmas Seal
Sale Is Given
Extra Push

An extra push to the sale of
Christmas Seals this week has
been planned with the Allen
County TB association mail sale
standing now at SIS, ,292.90.
Mrs. Wilford Steiner, 1859
Christmas Seal Chairman for the
county wide campaign, said an
all out effort will be made this
week to spread the word in re-
minding everyone to send in
contributions. She said reminders
from the tuberculosis and Health
Association of Allen County will
be mailed next week to all those
persons not heard from at this
time.
These are not intended as
"Duns", she said, But simply to
remind folks who have not sent
check or cash payment for their
Christmas Seals. Everything is
voluntary of course, so we're not
asking for return of the seals"
Annual sale of the seals, it was
pointed out again, makes possible
in this county the free selective
chest X-rays, tuberculin test
ing programs, health education
in classrooms, and certain serv-
ices to patients in TB hospitals.
ITO continue with our increas-
ed service in this line" Mrs.
