Mahon has spoken of a possi

The administration plan recog

be ready to put a large part of
the bomber ' force on continuous
patrol in an emergency so it
could not be destroyed on the
ground and could swiftly retaliate
against missile attack.
The administration plan also in
creases planned intercontinental
ballistic missile squadrons from

drop below 2.5(10.0(10 for the first

A strong case can be made for
the argument that the budget will
t.uy less defense in fiscal 11)111,
which" starts July 1 than for fis
cal IflfiO. That is because, as do
fense officials have emphasized
manpower costs, the price of
weapons and the bill for operation
iind maintenance increases an
nually.
Eisenhower recognized this in
his budget message. He said that
ii. creases in operating costs out
weigh savings from reduced pro
grams and "Irom economy meas

Some military leaders believe
the budget should have been 2
billion to 3 billion dollars greater.
Thry are concerned about the
long-range implications lor U.S.
strategy in a plan that essential
ly holds the spending line in the
face of rising costs.
Delense Secretary Thomas S.
Gates Jr., however, has slated
the administration's position this
way in capsule form:
The United States is far super
ior to Russia in strategic bomb
crs, the chief means of deliver
ing nuclear weapons today. While
Russia will have "moderate" mis
sile superiority in the next three
vears, it 'will not he enough (or
the Russians to make a "ration

power is clearly superior. While
Russia has tar superior numbers
of ground forces, the comparison
is "more favorable" when the

Gold Scales
'Discovered'
By RUTH KING
A pair of scales that once
weighed some of the gold from
the fabulously rich diggings of
northern Siskiyou County along the
Klamath River, came to light the
other day in the vault of the
First Western Bank at Dorris.
The scales were discovered and
brought out to public view after
having lain unused since the days
that the yellow metal was taken
in quantity (rom the earth to be
turned into the channels that pro
vided meat and bread and strong
drink (or the men who shoveled
and sluiced and panned and
dredged.
The scales were remembered by
William G. Hagelstein, now ad
ministrative vice president of the
statewide banking system of Great
Western Banks. Hagelstein, who be
gan his long banking career in
1914 as a janitor with the First
State and Savings Bank in Klam
ath Falls, has progressed through
hank ownership, and presidency o(
the Butte Valley State Bank, Dor
ris, to his present increased ad
ministrative status. The Dorris
bank was merged some time ago
with Great Western. !
No one remembers using the
scales at Dorris, but there is lit
tle doubt that the small weighing
device determined the amount of
cash that many a man pocketed in
the days when white men and Chi
nese and some women staked their
last dollar and sometimes their
lives on gold.

Inflation Top Problem
Says Banking President
NEW YORK (UPI) - In the
year-to-year operation of banking,
the banker acts as a .custodian
of dollars without being responsi
ble for keeping them at a certain
size in purchasing power.
He can operate with or without
inflation. He pays out dollars, be
they large or small, with equal
celerity. He isn't responsible for
the value of the money he han
dles. But bankers are the ones who
best understand money opera
tions. They know the economic
climate best suited to dollar sta

The committee painted posters,

front with its long-rane antU
inflation program.
John W. Remington, president
of ABA, told United Press Inter
national that his organization is
convinced that "inflation still is
our No. 1 domestic problem one
we are going to have to contend
with for many years to come."
He found neither the recent
leveling off in living costs nor the
stock market decline that carried
on most of this year as offering
any grounds for the belief the
inflation problem is about to
vanish.
Educated for the law, Reming.
Ion turned to banking as a trust
officer for the Lincoln Alliance
Bank & Trust Co. of Rochester,
N.Y., 30 years ago. Today he is
president of that hank, now known
as the Lincoln Rochester Trust
Company.
He has been traveling around
the country, speaking against the
evils of inflation and the respon
sibility of bankers in educating
the people in its dangers.
"There are many people, some
in influential positions," says
Remington, "who are unwilling or
unable to agree that we have had
a serious inflation or who say
that if we have inflation, lets
have more of it or who would
say that a little inflation is a
good thing and that a rising price
level is essential to economic
growth. Still others say inflation
is inevitable."
Inflation Poses Challenge
This situation, he says, "pos
a challenge which the banking
industry must meet through every
resource at its command.
"As bankers, we play a unique
role in the functioning of the
nation's economy.
"Millions upon millions of peo
ple look upon us as guardians ol
their money the tangible, bank
able fruits of their labors, their
savings.
"We represent to them respon
sible trustees in stewardship of
their money and responsible
leaders in the world of finance
who handle their money in such
a way that it will retain its value
for them in future years.
"Because of this trust, which
so many people place in us. we
must continually strive to earn
and justify it.
"As responsible leaders, we
must make our voices heard nrlt
only to our own customers but
also to the citizens as a whole,
as well as to our law makers.
"You might say, therefore, that
this new, big and ambitious pro
gram we have initiated shows
that we fully accept our respon
sibilitiesthat we really mean
business in this fight lo reserve
the value of Ihe dollar, foster
sound economic growth in a
stable economy."
No Danger
Remington doesn't see danger
of a runaway inflation in the
foreseeable future. But, he holds,
the continuing threat is "the virus
of creeping inflation."
In fighting this threat, the ARA
is aiming its informational activi
ties at grass roots education,
Remington says. The association
plans to use all available methmfs
in its program nation-wide dis
tribution of specially prepared
booklets and leaflets, speeches by
bankers before local community
organizations, special bank dis
plays, advertising and wide pub
licity. "Using both the written and the
spoken word," Remington says,
"we will seek to explain the fac
tors underlying economic growth,
help combat the notion that infla
tion is inevitable, show why a
shrinking dollar is always cause
for concern, and advocate policies
that are a must if we are to have
orderly economic growth in our
lifetime."
A lot more goes into the prescrip
tions I fill than fine, fresh drugs.
There goes also, years of expe
rience and special training a lot

most of all, a firm premise to
