    New Treasurer
Of U. S. Once
Telephone Girl
Bv I1AIIM1V u xt.
When tho phono ,.lnBrln the offlol
o the Treasurer of the United
oiuius, pretty ivy Baker Priest
ansjvera with a V a'minme!
u Then she reaches In her desk,
whips out a head receiver set ad
justs It and starts talking ' '
,ats 'he w"y Mrs. Priest op
erntes. Once a telephone opera
tor always a telephone operator.
u,mT C,an. ?,et a 101 ot wm done
while I talk and listen," she told
me nvan interview.; "Sometimes
i jot down notes or even add a
, few lines to a speech' I may be
writing. It's easy if your hands are
jree. A telephone operator learns
to do a lot of things at the same
time.
Mrs. Priest Is the second, woman
treasurer in history. The flr$t was
Georgia Neese Clarke, who was
appointed by President Truman.
Mrs. Clarke had a background in
the banking business. Mrs. Priest
has none. She has dabbfed In
merchandising, done a little teach
ing and in recent years she has
been interested in politics, partic
ularly in her native Utah.
Appointment r. Surprise
Her appointment as treasurer
came as a surprise. After the elec
tion she did some research on how
women could fit into the Republi
can scheme of things, .
"I got a call to report to Re-
publican headquarters in New
York," she said,' "Naturally, I
thought they wanted to know what
I had found out in my survey. I
nearly fell over when I learned
Mr. Eisenhower wanted me to be
come treasurer."
, Maybe Mrs. Priest was lucky to
get the appointment at that. She
was a committeewoman from
Utah, but had no control over her
delegates to the GOP- convention
in Chicago.
"All of them," she. said, "were
lined up against Mr. Eisenhower.'
Mrs. Priest. In her job, has a
lot of other duties besides adding
her signature to new paper mon
ey. Her office is essentially the
banking facility for the gov
ernment and Is required under law
to service practically, the entire
Federal establishment.
Has Many Tasks
She is charged particularly with
the receipt, disbursement, and ac
counting for public monies;, the
procurement, custody, issue and
redemption of United States paper
money and coins; the furnishing
of checking account facilities to
all agencies of the government;
the payment of principal ' and in
terest on the public debt ; and the
safe-keeping of . securities deposit
ed as collateral and otherwise.
The lady needs a lot of hands,
although, of course, she has others
to help her. ,
Mrs. Priest doesn't find much
time to be with her husband, Roy.
He's in the furniture business and
travels most of the time. But she
takes pride and delight in her three
youngsters Patricia Ann, 16;
Nancy Ellen, 11; and Roy Jr., 10.
Roy, she said, is, a fancy dan
with a fly rod.
The office of the treasurer has
some advice for all of us on how
to handle' our money, if we have
some after taxes.
"Every day," Mrs. Priest said,
"we receive capped plumbing
pipes, tin cans, shoe boxes,
Mason jars and even bed casters
all containing the charred and
mutilated remains of what once
was money.. The moral to that is
don't hide your money at home.
The house might catch on fire;
or some snoop might steal your
savings." .
Smaller Pig
Crop Foreseen
WASHINGTON, June 22 OB The
Agriculture Department today
, forecast a 1953 pig crop of 84,226,
' 000 head, down 8 per cent from last
year.
The total included a 50,726,000
head spring crop, down 10 per cent
from last year, and an estimated
33,500,000 head expected to be pro
duced this fall, down 5 per cent
from last year's fall crop. -
The spring crop produced from
Dec. 1, to June 1 goes to market
the following fall and winter. The
fall pig crop produced from June
to December will be marketed
next spring and summer.
The decline in pig production be
gan last year when farmers were
facing high feed prices in relation
to what they got for porkers. As a
result, housewives are now paying
higher pork prices. .

than we have been analyzing the
situation. There has been no
change In the situation."
McKay recommended Nichols to
President Eisenhower April 22.
The appointment, which does not
require senate confirmation, has
been blocked by C. P. Jackson,
a special assistant to Mr. Eisen-
nower.
Nichols refused to comment on

Tiny Gun Dwarfed
By- Finger Tip
WATERFORD, N. Y. (IP) The
smallest gun ever made at the
nearby Watervliet Arsenal is a
proud possession of Col. Sidney
Hammersley (ret.), who once was
stationed at1 the famous weapons
lactory..
The gun is dwarred by a man s
finger tip. It's made of rolled steel,
and the hammer can be pulled
back and is operated by a spring.
Although realistic in appearance,
the gun won't shoot.
Hammersley, now the Water

took months of his spare time.

Lower Potato
Prices for 1953
Are Expected
WASHINGTON; June 22 (IB Ag
riculture Department experts said
today potatoes will be cheaper this
year, as much as three cents
a pound under 1952 retail prices,
if the big harvest now in prospect
materializes.
Last year housewives paid an
averago of about 7V4 cents a pound
for potatoes when the crop totalled
347,500,000 bushels. This year it
looks like farmers vlll come
through with a 385,000,000 bushel
crop and the drop in prices is
expected to push the retail price
down to between 4'4 and 5 cents a
pound.
: Specialists warn that a killing
freeze in the ,big potato growing
areas between Aug. 20 and Sept.
1 could bring a "drastio change"
in the picture. ' '
Bumper Harvest
But the way things look now, it
will be a bumper harvest.
: Government's price supports on
potatoes-ended in 1950, after an
outlay of nearly $560,000,000 in
eight years.
The average 1 cents a pound
housewives paid last year came
aner tarmers drastically cut out
put to meet a free1 market.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T.
Benson has warned growers that
high prices the past two seasons
have "unduly influenced" them to
boost output this year to about
25,000,000 to 30,000,000 bushels
more than is needed. He said the
mistake could be "very costly to
mem. . ...;.
Price Support Pressure ."
However, pressure on Conn-ess
has resulted in consideration of
making potatoes again eligible for
some kind of federal s u p p p r t to
neip tarmers out or a low price
fix.
When the old price support pro
gram was killed, it was killed with
such emphasis that potatoes now
are the only crop the department
is toroioaen- to Duy in any way,
shape or form, not even for the
school lunch program.
