George Humphrey hat been one
of Ihe main pillars of (he Eiseri
hower administration, generally
credited with being the "strong
man" of the cabinet and one on
whom the President leans quite
heavily for counsel. A lawyer who
became a leading industrialist, he
is rated as a staunch conservative
in financial affairs. He has worked
hard to balance the budget, has
labored to get more of the national
debt funded into long term bonds,
has opposed tax cuts that would
hurt the treasury position.
Just now, however, he is talcing
sides against the Federal Reserve
Board for its authorization of an
other boost in rediscount rates last
month. In an address before the
National Press Club Humphrey
explained his position. He felt that
there were certain "downward
pressures" which would fend off
inflation without the curb of an
extra charge for credit. He made
it clear however that the FRB was
an independent agency, that while
the treasury might offer opinions
the FRB s job is to make its own ;
decision, which is what the FRB
lias been doing.
The "pressures" which Humph
rey noted were the lag in auto
sales and a tendency toward in
ventory accumulation. There are
the "natural conditions" which in
his opinion would provide the cor
rectives needed in the business
world. The secretary went on to
emphasize the necessity to main
tain confidence on the Dart of
business and the general public.
Then Humphrey went on to . say : ,
Confidence is essential to the
maintenance of jobs. Our job

SALEM HEIGHTS - Residents
of Liberty-Salem Heights Fire Dis
trict will vote Tuesday on a pro
posed SfiO.OOO bond issue for the re
location and construction of a new
fire hall and purchase of additional
equipment. Vofes will be cast from
2 to 8 p.m. at Salem Heights Com
munity Hall.
Proponents of the measure point
nut that a new fire hall and greater
facilities will sharply reduce cost
of fire insurance.
Present fire hall on Cheney Way
near 99E reportedly lacks suffi
cient room for equipment and
operations and heating also is said
to he a problem. Proposed new
headquarters would be located
west of S9E on Sunnyside Rpad.
The district currently has one
truck and one pumper. Plans for
new equipment include another
pumper
The group initiating the measure
held two public hearings but was
concerned because public response
was not as good as expected.
