a attention" should'be
given attempts to devise methods
whereby the Federal Reserve
could exercise more effective con-
trol over bank lending.
Bank Loans Factor
"Actually," Prof. Smith said,
"the greatest weakness of Federal
Reserve policy recently has been
its inability to curtail the lending
activities of the banking system.
Surely the greatest financial factor
in inflation since the end of 1954
has been the increase of over 30
per cent In bank loans..
Federal Reserve operations in
the sale and purchase of govern-
ment securities In the long-term
market probably could have
brought about a greater increase
than has occurredr'in long-term
interest rates since 1954, he said.
"This mig3t have caused a some-
what greater curtailment in capi-
tal investment with beneficial
anti-inflationary effects.
"Properly coordinated with gen-
eral credit controls, selective cred-
it controls could widen the impact
of monetary policy by giving it In-
fluence / in those sectors of the
economy which now seem quite
immune to its effects," Prof. Smith
said.
Policy Effects Economy
The different effects which a
tight money policy has on various
segments of the economy does not
generally reflect the pattern of
consumer preferences and indif-
ferences in the prqductivity of real
resources, he said.
"At present, these effects seem
to be due to ignorance on the part
of consumer borrowers, imperfec-
tions in both capital and com-
modity markets, and certain pecu-
liarities of our institutional struc-
ture. In the light of this, the 'im-
personal' and 'non-discriminatory'
character often attributed to gen-
eral credit controls begins to look
somewhat like an illusion."
Quarterdecks
Schedule Talk
Prof. H. A. Benrford of the de-
partment of naval architecture
and Jack Posner, member of the
staff of the David Taylor model
basin, Carderville, Md., will speak
to the Quarterdeck Society at
7:30 p.m. today in the Michigan
Union. ,
The commercial feasibility of
nuclear tankers will be discussed
by Prof. Benford, who has studied
a tanker on the Persian Gulf-east
coast run. This is said to' be, the
most profitable run for nuclear
powered merchant ships.
City Plans
Industrial.
A nnexation
A large area of land south of
Ann Arbor is being considered for
annexation and planning is under-
way in the City Planning Depart-
ment, according to City Adminis-
trator Guy C. Larcom, Jr.
The Planning Department is at-
tempting to define the area that
would be logical for southern ex-
pansion of the city. A proposed
layout of principle streets and
plans involving a land-use pattern
is being worked out by the depart-
ment.
Much of the proposed annexa-
tion would be used for industrial
purposes if present plans ma-
terialize.
The land under consideration
specifically is the area of S. In-
dustrial Highway, which runs
south from E. Stadium Blvd. and
is a short distance east of S. State
St. Some of the land along that
street. is already within the city
limits. There are at least 1,000
acres that should be annexed, ac-
cording to the city administrator.
ROEBLING MEDAL:
Walter Hunt Acclaimed
By Mineralogical Society
11
Prof. Emeritus Walter F. Hunt
of the Mineralogy department was
awarded the Roebling Medal for
distinguished, scientific achieve-
ment at the annual meeting of the
Mineralogical Society of America
held yesterday in Atlantic City,
N.J.
Prof. Hunt is the second Uni-
versity faculty member to receive
the highest award given by the
M.S.A. to its members. Prof-
Emeritus Edward H. Kraus, form-
er dean of the literary college, re-
ceived the medal in 1945.
The Roebling Medal was estab-
lished asa memorial to Washing-
ont A. Roebling, who supervised
the construction of the Brooklyn
Bridge, designed by his father.
Roebling became vice-president of
the M.S.A. and at his death left a
gift under which tlhe medals were
established.
Prof. Hunt, the 16th recipient
of the award, served as chairman
of the department of mineralogy
from 1933 to his retirement from
the faculty in 1952.
He received his Ph.D. from the
University in 1915 and in 1922 be-
came editor of the American Me-
teorologist. He held the position
of editor for 35 years, retiring in
1956.
The American Meteorologist re-
ceives articles from, all over the
world, and is the largest profes-
sional publication of its kind.
Prof. Lewis S. Ramsdell, chairman
of the department of mineralogy,
is the present editor.
Of the M.S.A. members present
for the organizational meeting in
Dec. 1919, only four survive and
are still active in the group.
They are Prof. Hunt, Prof.
Kraus, Prof. Ransdell, and Prof.
Chester B. Slawson, all of the
University's department of min-
eralogy.

School Resources Lowr
Prof. Chandler, a member of the
Board of Directors of the Federal.
Researve. Bank of Philadelphia,
said the United States is putting
too little "of our. national re-
sources into our school systems.
But I do not believe that main-
taining continuously easy money
for school construction is either
an appropriate or an effective
way of achieving our ends. You
cannot maintain low interest
rates for schools without main-
taining low interest rates for ev-
erybody competing with ^ the
schools ,for credit, materials and
labor."
Commenting on the current
tight" money policy and its ef-,
fects, he said:
"Before concluding, as some do,
that we should -assume 'easy'-
nioney for everybody in order to,
bolster housing construction, we
might try the simple expedient of
removing ceilings on interest
rates applying to (government)
guaranteed miortgages, so zs to
permit builders to compete freely
for loan funds."

WEEKEND SPECIAL
-Thursday, Friday, Saturday
It's been said that the atomic submarine
"Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it
only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist.
Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken
valuable slace aboard the "Nautilus" for the
only soft-drink vending machine in the entire
submarine fleet.
Naturally (or you wouldn't hear about it
from us) it's a Coca-Cola machine. And not
unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite
respectable.

drink, Coke!
