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:

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.

Treaty Talks
PARIS Lfi Informed sources
said Tuesday that France's Na

even begin debating ratification of
the European army treaty before
the April 26 opening of the Geneva
conference on Korea and Indo

be a long and bitter one, may
open soon after the Geneva meet

The unyielding attitude dis
