I (AP).-Colombia completes the
first lap on its road to de-
mocracy and economic stabil-
ity with the Inauguration of
4 DR.. Guillermo Leon Valencia
as President today.
. DR.. Valencia, 81, a conServa-
tive. takes over as chief execu-
Z tive from liberal Alberto Lleras
Camargo after four years of a
unique political system alter
Z mating the presidency between
Z the once warning Liberal and
/ Conservative Parties.
{ The system was evolved in
1858 as a solution to political
fighting which killed about
zoe, 900 Colombians in the pre-
'ceding decade and led to the
dictatorship Of Gustavo Rojas
Pinilla.
Conservatives and liberals
buried the Ratchet to GUST Gen.
Rojas Pinilla in 1857, then kept
it buried to lead the country
away from dictatorship and
financial chaos. Despite chal-
lenges from dissidents of both
parties, DR.. Valencia won L.
746,030 of the total 2,644 1874
votes cast in the presidential
balloting last May.
Banditry Survives
The parties divide seats in
Congress and on district and
local councils evenly, and the
national government is a coali-
ton. But banditry inherited
from the political wars kills an
estimated three persons every
hour. and remains a serious
problem in the mountains of
Western Colombia.

attack an attempt to stir up
old antagonisms during inaugu-
ration festivities.
DR.. Valencia has been in
politics since 1899 but never
has been closely identified with
any political faction. He ad-

Economic Experts Split
In Recession Advice

Academic and labor econo-
mists called today for prompt
tax cuts to prevent a recession.
but a dissenting business
spokesman said higher profits
would cure the economy's all
ments.
The conflicting advice was
offered to Congress at a hear
ing before the Senate House
Economic Committee. These
public hearings on the state
Of the economy, the need for
tax cuts, and monetary policy
started today as the House
Ways and Means Committee
approached the end Of its
closed sessions In the same
general areas.
Meanwhile, Senator Javits,
Republican Of New York, urged
in a Senate speech that Con-
gress enact a SIS billion tax
cut for individuals and corpo-
rations before it adjourns this
year.
Actually, chances for emer-
gency tax cuts this year have
faded, so the practical argu-
ment is shifting to the question
of how to reduce and reform
taxes next year. The issue is
whether tax cuts should aim
mainly at stimulating con-
sumner purchasing power by re-
ducing taxes in low-income
brackets, or whether the econ
omy needs tax relief for bust
ness to encourage investment.
PrOxmire Hits Tight Money
AS the Economic Committees
hearings started, Senator Prox-
mire, Democrat of Wisconsin,
charged that the Federal Re-
serve Board is throwing sand
in the engine" by pursuing
tight money policies, when the
economy needs more fuel"
Senator Proxmire said Fed
eral Reserve policies could frus-
trate attempts to stimulate the
economy through tax cuts, just
as easier money policies might
make tax cuts unnecessary.
The disSenter on today's
panel Of witnesses, Ira T. Ellis,
economists for the E. I. Du Pont
de Nemours & Co., said the
economist for the E. I. Du Pont
but he emphasized that eco
nomic activity still is at record
high levels and that the Nation
is maintaining its growth rate
Of the past II years.
Opposes Massive" Action
He said unemployment is not
as bad as it looks, because job
lessness is concentrated among
youths and workers changing
jobs, rather than hitting hard
at adults who have been unem-
ployed for long periods.

Powers Won
By Ben Bella

ALGIERS, Aug. z (AP).-The
Algerian provisional govern
ment of Premier Ben Youssef
Ben Khedda surrendered its
powers today to the Political
Bureau headed by Vice Premier
Ahmed Ben Bella.
A communique issued by Mr..
Ben Bella's office said "the
powers held hitherto by the
provisional government Of the
Algerian Republic (GPRA) are
henceforth exercised by the
Political Bureau"
The communique said the
GPRA continues in existence as
the institution of the revolu-
ton" Hntil a meeting of the
National Council of the Alge-
rian Revolution (CNRA)-the
self-appointed Nationalist Par
lament which directed the
Algerian rebellion - scheduled
for early September.
Figurehead Role
The Ben Khedda regime thus
assumes formally the almost
entirely figurehead role it has
had since Algeria became in
dependent. Its assumption OF
actual control over the adj
ministration of the country was
stymied by the bitter struggle
for power between Mr.. Der
Bella and his opponents.
Government functions have
deteriorated to a minimum, and
those that have been performed
have been handled by local
military authorities in the vari-
GUS sectors of Algeria and the
provisional executive set up by
the Evian peace agreement with
the French.
Under the agreement last
Thursday which ended tempo
rarily the quarrel between
Algeria's politicians, the Politi-
cal Bureau was to take over
the nations leadership until
the election of a constituent
assembly, scheduled for Sep
TENDER 2.
May Ease Confusion
The agreement stipulated the
Ben Khedda government would
remain In office, retain con-
troll of foreign affairs and
would hand its formal reSigna-
ton to the CNRA meeting i'm
mediately after the elections.
The immediate result of to-
days announcement may be tc
ease the administrative con-
fusion which has beset Algeria
since the end Of French rule
on July 3.

litical Bureau the seventh

Employment would increase
if profits rose, Mr.. Ellis said
warning against massive Gov
eminent action to prevent nor
NAL fluctuations in business
activity.
j. Frederick Weston, eco
Monies professor at the Univer-
sity Of California at Los Ange-
les, said the economy's recov-
cry from the 1960-61 recession
is drawing to a close.
He called for immediate ac-
ton to ease the fiscal choke
by reducing corporation anc
low-bracket income taxes.
If the administration and
Congress wait to cut taxes, hi
said, stronger action will be
needed and bigger budget def.
cts may result.
BY refusing to cut taxes In
1857 or 1858, Mr.. Weston said
the Eisenhower administration
contributed to a record peace
time budget deficit of more
than SO billion when a reces.
sion struck.
Downturn Predicted
Daniel B. Suits, economics
professor at the University o.
Michigan, said the present sit.
uation is similar to circum.
stances that led UP to the 1861
recession, and predicted ar
economic downturn within the
next six months, with unem-
ployment rising from So tC
over 7 per cent in the next
year.
He urged gradual release OF
the tax brake" through taS
reductions Of IS billion to $1(
billion.
At the same time, he said
the Government should in
crease spending.
James Wishart, research d.
rector of the Amalgamatec
Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen, also warned Of q
recession and urged prompt
tax cuts and spending increases
Senator Javiits, often q
supporter of administration
proposals, criticized President
Kennedy for what he called
"agonizing indecisiveneSS."
Mr.. Kennedy said several
weeks ago that he would study
economic indicators, then de-
eide whether to ask for an i'm
mediate tax cut to spur the
economy. He has indicated he
might announce a decision
later this month.
The domestic economy "iS
moving sideways in such a way
as to present a clear and pres
ent danger Of another recess
sion," said Senator Javits.
He added that Mr.. Kennedy
is compromising the difficulty

CastrO's Ransom For Prisoners Is lst In 10th Century

Cuban Prime Minister Fldel Castro has become the first head of state in the goth Century to suc- cessfullv exact commercial goods in exchange for prisoners of war.
 The Cuban leader accomplished that Friday when he signed an agreement to swap LIB prisoners captured in the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion in April l9bl for much needed medical supplies and food.
 The last international ransom was demanded of the Allies by the German Gestapo Zehieftaln .Heln- rich Himmler during World War IT.
 Himmler offered to exchange the lives of million Jews for 10000 trucks. T he offer, negotiated through Hungarian Intermediary by the late Adolf Eichmann, was refused.
 However, ever since man real- ized the commercial potential in holding his prisoners hostage in stead of killing them. ransom has been a profitable adjunct of war fare.
 Ransom was so commonplace in the wars of the Middle Ages that 1t became an accepted part of the customs of war.
 Knights had the right to ransom themselves from their captors. Their retainers back home were obli2ated. to chip in as needed.
 When Richard the Lion-Hearted of England was captured in Vienna while disguised as woman. the knights of England contributed s4 each toward his ransom.
 To raise the rest of the S500,000 ransom, the English levied what scholars have said was the first tax on movable property. Late in the 100 Years War, the French paid S2.5 million to free King John from the British. The sum was so large it had to be paid on an in stallment agreement.
