Page 20 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, Salem, Oregon Tuesday, FVLruary 23, 1954 Economic Adviser For Spurring Business WASHINGTON ( - Dr. Arthur F. Burns, chairman of President Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers, said Tuesday be consid ers it important to stimulate both individual and business spending but that he believes spurring busi ness expansion is a way to do both. And, he said in an interview, he is still confident of the business outlook, in large part because "there is no sign of any decline in business investment spending, al though consumer spending is. lag ging a bit.'.' ...... If business outlay for new plant and equipment should fall off, Burns said, "we might really be in trouble." The President's ' chief economic adviser said the current business dip has gone no deeper than he had anticipated. Burns declared that the debate between some economists and poll' ticians whether it is better to tight the business decline by tax policies tnat would give increased spend' ing power to business or to con sumers is unsatisfactory to me. Sen. George (D-Ga) sharpened the debate last week by proposing that the business downturn be bat tled by putting increased spending power in the pockets of individuals from $600 to $800 this year, and to $1,000 next year, '.t was estimated that the first increase would cost the government 4 Vi billion dollars in revenue yearly. City Purchasing Method Criticized by Council Low bids recommended by City Manager J. L. Franzen were ac cepted by the City Council Mon day night on cement, manhole and catchbasin covers and lamp hole frames, but criticism was leveled at the city manager for permitting bids to be called for directly by the department that uses the material alter, it is bought "If we are going to have a pur chasing agent let's have one," one member said, and Purchasing Ag ent Charles Barclay said the bids had not been called for directly by him. Foreign Service Extravagance WASHINGTON (fl - Investigat ing congressmen say they found 13 British tenants living in the American embassy' in London and getting room service for meals be c a u s e American purchasing agents snowed "very poor judg ment" in acquiring the property. The congressmen said they also found instances of "inexcusable Inefficiency" and extravagance in a survey of the land and buildings bought by the State Department from Tokyo in London. In Rome, 33 embassy housing units cost $21,057 each, without furnishings, the congressmen re ported. This is as expensive as the frequently investigated new hous ing project in Bonn, Germany, they added. Their comments were made dur ing hearings, made public Tuesday, by a House Appropriations Sub committee on the State Depart ment Duagei. Tne survey was made last fall by Reps. Bow IR Ohio), Coon (R-Ore) and Preston (D-Ga). , PRINCE TO VISIT U.S. THE HAGUE, Netherlands 11- Prince Bernhard of The Nether lands, who is inspector-general of the army, will pay a few weeks visit to the United States next month, the army information serv ice announced Tuesday. He will leave March 4. City Engineer J. If. Davis, whose department will use the materials, said all concerns" oper ating in the community were ask ed to bid, but Alderman Fry said that wasn't a proper way to ask for bids and that it isn't general ly done. Alderman Tom Armstrong re minded the Council that it was making a new policy in purchas ing the materials for a full year's operation and asked that a study be made to see if a differential can be allowed for local firms making bids. Alderman David O'Hara doubted the legality of this, but the investigation will be made. Valley Iron & Steel of Eugene was low bidder on the steel ma terials to be purchased, its bid being $6732. Other bidders were: Holt Equipment Company, Inde pendence, $7019; Salem Iron Works, $7730; Bend Iron Works, $8711; Fick Foundry. Tacoma. $8994; Industrial Iron Works, Portland, $9357; W. W.

Accuser of Warren Sought LOS ANGELES Wl One of the unevaluated charges against Chief Justice Warren has been attribut ed to Roderick J. Wilson, sought by police at the request of San Francisco's district attorney. The district attorney, Thomas C. Lynch, says Wilson is a former press agent and private detective who is wanted in San Francisco under a 1952 indictment charging suborination of perjury in connec tion with an automobile accident damage case. But Paul Lee Moore, who de scribed himself as an associate of Wilson, said Monday that Wilson is an attorney, an honorary doctor of laws and a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for governor. Moore also said that the San Francisco charge against Wilson is not true, and that he believes Wil son is conferring with attorneys preparatory to surrendering to San Francisco authorities. Wilson himself could not be lo cated for comment. Abraham Lincoln was an exnert wrestler in his youih.

French Delay Treaty Talks PARIS Lfi Informed sources said Tuesday that France's Na tional Assembly probably won't even begin debating ratification of the European army treaty before the April 26 opening of the Geneva conference on Korea and Indo china. However the debate, certain to be a long and bitter one, may open soon after the Geneva meet ing starts. The sources said such a sched ule was only tentative and might be altered by unforeseen events. But they believed it likely that the Big Four foreign ministers Western high commissioners want " 7. 7"7 ETZ II West Germany Seeks Talks BONN, Germany Wi The to talk with the Russians about easing restrictions on trade and travel within divided Germany. They outlined their ideas in sim ilar letters Monday night to So viet High Commissioner Vladimir S. Semenov and his Berlin rep resentative, Sergei Dengin. They proposed negotiations for the re moval of what they called "un justifiable obstacles" set up by the Russians between East and West Germany and East and West Berlin. Acting four days after the wind- up of the Berlin Big Four foreign ministers conference, which dead locked on the question of German unity, the United States, British and French commissioners sug gested elimination of such things as: The Red border death zones. street barriers, red tape on west erners' travel in East Germany, the Communist system of controls leaving French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault free to return to lead the parliamentary battle for the European Defense Community pact. Sources close to the cabinet said Tuesday that Bidault and other ministers who favor EDC ratification are now much more optimistic about its chances in the Assembly than they were a few weeks ago. The unyielding attitude dis played by the Soviets at Berlin contributed some to this fresh optimism, they said.
