Cresdp Denies
Westinghouse
Knew Of Deals

PITTSBURGH, April S (AP)
Mark w. Cresap, jr., presi-
dent of Westinghouse Electric
Corp, told the company's 18th
annual stockholders meeting
today Westinghouse never di-
rectly or indirectly condoneC
actions of executives convicted
of antitrust violations.
Mr.. CreSap said Westing-
house top management knew
nothing of the antitrust viola
tionS and did not secretly OF
unofficially condone such ac-
tionS.
In a 33-page statement, Mr.
Cresap touched on several
aspects of the recent Govern
ment antitrust cases in Phil
adelphia involving WeSting-
house and a number of other
electrical equipment manufac-
turerS.
Mr.. Cresap spoke as reports
circulated Westinghouse man.
agement might come in for
criticism by some stockholders
over recent charges of price
fixing on heavy electrical ap-
paratus. WESTINGHOUSE, Cen
eral Electric Co. and 27 other
electrical equipment makers
pleaded guilty or no defense to
the charges.
Eleven Westinghouse officials
were ordered to pay SGT, 900 in
fines and two we're ordered to
Jail. j. H. Chiles, Westing-
house vice president, went to
Jail for 80 days. The firm was
fined $382,OOO.
Mr.. Cresap told an estimated
$500 or more stockholders that
there was nothing in the COM
pany's operations for 1956-59-
the period covered by the in
dictmentS-to give even the
slightest indication of any at
temptS at artificial pricing or
ALLEGATION of business"
The Westinghouse president
defended his decision not to
take any disciplinary action
against the executives involved.
He repeated an earlier state
ment that while their actions
could not be condoned it was
his opinion they did not act for
personal gain but in the "mis-
taken belief they were further
ing the company's interest"

NEW YORK. April S (AP).-
The burst of heavy trading in

warning by Keith Funston,
president of the New York Stock
Exchange, against unSound in
vestment practices.
Mr.. Funston says:
There is disquieting evil
dence that some people have
not yet discovered that it is
impossible to get something for
nothing, and they are attempt
ing to make improper use of
the facilities of the investment
community"
He says the exchange has
received reports indicating
that some "would-be investors"
have been trying to buy shares
in companies whose names
they could not identify, whose
products they did not know
and whose prospects were highly
uncertain.
Mr.. Funston'S advice to in
veStors was to follow time
tested guideposts" advocated by
the exchange, including skep-
ticism about tips.
Mr.. Funston issued his warn
ing yesterday after stock mar

Star Science Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. II - A
noted space scientist today
predicted virtual "commuter
service" to the moon by 1875
and commercial earth to-orbit
space travel by 1880.
The forecast came from DR..
Hermann Heinz Koelle of the
Marshall Space Flight Center,
Huntsville. Ala, in a discussion
of the topic. How Much Space
Flight Can We Afford?"
Eis paper. delivered at a
meeting of the American Rock
ct Society here, was one of
many indications of growing
concern among space experts
over the high cost Of space
manship.
DR.. Koelle predicted that
something between So billion
and $11 billion probably would
be the annual national eXpen-
diture on space by 1875. Be-
tween a quarter and a half Of
this would be available for
procurement and operation OF
space vehicles, he said.
The Space Outlook
With such OUTLAWS, DR.. Koelle
said. this should be the space
picture over the next 20 years:
I'VE can have permanently
manned large space stations
around 1868. We can reach,
by 1875, an annual transport
capacity Of 5000 roundtrips in
earth-to-orbit traffic.
I'VE can expect that COM
mercial space transportation
between the earthS surface and
a low altitude orbit will be
developed in the 1850 Pc
Rod. We will be able to estab-
lish a manned lunar station
permanently around 1870 and
develop this into a small lunar
settlement by 1875.
by 1928 our resources
and the efficiency of space
transportation systems will per-
NIT us to start the first
manned planetary expeditions.
Sees No Harm to Economy
DR.. Koelle indicated that
such a program could be car
ried out on almost a business
as-usual" basis without dislo-
eating the national economy. A
national emergency that would
require an about space effort
could result in 10 times this
activity.
The Germantown scientist
based his study on a buildup Of
space funding that would keep
step with expected growth Of
the gross national product.
This Sum-the total worth Of
everything done and produced
in the country-is somewhat
more than $500 billion this year
and. according to DR.. Koelle
lis expected to grow at average
rate of 3.5 per cent per year" "
Total expenses for major
national security" including
money for space, will continue
to represent go per cent of the
GIMP. in DR.. Koelle's view. He
expressed the belief that cur
rent military strength will re-
main virtually unchanged in
the future and that the cost OF
