Hodge Gives
~Guilty Plea,
008 13 Ic
'Goesto ,fail
fiPR2;NGIELD7, Ill. WP-Oriville
E. Hodge, pale and tense, pleaded
1r"guilty yesterday to charges involv-
ing his million-dollar check-cash-
ing swindle, then went to jail to
awaIt sentencing next Monday.
The dapper, free-spending ousted
Illinois state auditor told his at-
torneys he wanted to be sent to
prison immediately.
When Circuit Judge Clem Smith
announced a week's delay before
fixing punishment, the once-influ-
ential Republican official slumped
in his chair with head bowed, a
haggard look on his face.
Taken to Jail
Hodge, 52 years old, who had
been free on $100,000 bond, was
taken immediately to the Sanga-
mon County Jail and placed in a
cell tier with seven other prisoners.
His attorneys said they would
seek permission to remove him to
a Springfield hospital on the
i grounds he is ill and needs medical
attention.
Since he has been sitting out
the days in seclusion at his plush
Lake Springfield home, Hodge has
been treated by a physician and a
psychiatrist, who reported he was
depressed and exhausted.
Judge Issues Writ
A few hours later, Federal Judge
John P. Barnes in Chicago issued
a writ directing Sheriff Arthur
Gross of Sangamon County to
;4 produce Hodge for arraignment in
Chicago tomorrow morning on
federal charges of misapplyingj
$872,000 in federally insuredj
bonds.
4 The charges against Hodge in-
clude 329 counts of forgery, em-j
bezzlement, confidence game and
conspiracy with possible prison
terms ranging from one to five
y and one to 15 years on each count.
The indictments charged him
with looting the state treasury of
i nearly $650,000 but prosecutors
have said the amount will run
over a million. The scandal same
to light in July.
lodge, who once dreamed of
p becoming Illinois governor, has
taken full blame for the scheme
in which bogus state warrants were
cashed, although his former office
manager, Edward A. Epping, has
been indicted on similar charges.
Hodge has said he spent the
money on high living, bad invest-
ments and campaigning.
During the court proceedings,
Hodge answered with a weak, al-
Smost inaudible, "Yes, sir" when
Judge Smith inquired if he desired
to change his previous plea of in-
nocent to guilty.

Legislatures
Concerned,
Analyst Says
Administrative rules and regula-
tions, often questioned by the ordi-
nary citizen, are fast becoming a
major concern of state legislatures,
according to a report scheduled for
publication by the University this
fall,
The legislatures themselves have
spawned a lot of the rules indirect-
ly through th creation of numer-
ous state administrative agencies,
with power to regulate various
activities, explains David L. Hoye,
legislative analyst at the Univer-
sity's Legislative Research Center.
Now-partly as a result of citizen
protests-the law makers have be-
gun to take steps to insure that
administrative rule-making re-
mains within boundaries stablished
by legislation. At least 19 states
have passed acts prescribing mini-
mum standards for administrative
action, he notes in a manuscript
prepared for "Currnt Trends in
State Legislation."
Michigan's activity in this area
dates back to 1943, when the
legislature passed an act requiring
publication of administrative rules
after their approval by the attor-
ney general.
Expressing his support for more
action of this kind by other states, 1..H w a s h e e f c
Howe says, ". . . the mere fact
that the agencies are aware that
their actions are being subjected to
regular scrutiny and control from
an outside source . . . would act
as an inhibiting factor against
misuse or excessive use of rule-
making powers."
He suggests that legislatures can
exercise this watch-dog function
best by avoiding any general re-
quirement that all rules be ap-
proved by the legislature before
becoming operative and by con-
centrating their attention on new
rules or ones protested by the
public.

U.S. Industrial Rate Beats Russia

By A. I. GOLDBERG
Associated Press Staff Writer
UNITED NATIONS (R)) - The
Russians may have hopes of over-
taking the United States this year
in the Olympic athletic competi-
tion, but they have a long, long
cU' Research
Team Studies
Steel Growth
Should the steel industry expand
its capacity? If so, how can ex-
pansion be financed?
The answer to these questions--
basic to the future of the American
economy-are now being sought by
a University business research
team . financed by the Brookings
Institution.
Prof. Donald R. G. Cowan, who
heads the research, points out that
Russia, West Germany and Great
Britain all have faster growing
steel industries than the U.S. At
present, he adds, American steel
makers plan to add about 4 million
tons a year to their output.
Whether this planned growth
will be sufficient to meet the na-
tion's growing defense needs and
consumer demand is a key question
facing industry, labor and the
public.
Since expansion of steel capacity
requires a large volume of this
basic metal, the professor notes,
accelerating the present rate of
growth could place a severe strain
on existing plants, most of which
has been operated at or near 100
per cent capacity for the past two
years.
The cost of expanding steel
capacity is also exceptionally
high, the professor says. In gen-
eral, industry has three alterna-
tives for financing expansion:
1. Increasing profit margins on
present production- a step which
tends to curb expansion of the steel
market, open new demands by
organized labor and raise opposi-
tion among steel users;
2. Putting increased capacity
on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, using
investment capital from outside
,sources-a cdstlY method becausE
of today's high interest rates; and
3. Introducing more modern
methods of manufacture, involving
lower capital requirements and
labor costs-a process which in-
volves increased expenditures foi
basic research and steel making.

row to hoe in making good any
boast they'll ever pass the United1
States in industrial production.
For years, the outside world
could only guess at Soviet produc-
tion figures. Now, in line with the
asserted Soviet "new look" and its
avowal to make more use of the
United Nations, the Russians have
furnished the UN Statistical Year-
book with a batch of carefully se-
lected figures in eight fields - the
ones in which they are second or
third among the nations of the
world.
Theye're still silent on their
position in 175 other fields listed
in the yearbook's statistical tables.
It is presumed that if they were
even close, they would have come
up with information on their pro-
duction in these fields too.
In the world industrial arena,
the United States has a clear lead
in nearly 60 important products-
from alumnium to butter. It also
has enough seconds, thirds and
fourths in other fields to clearly
outshine any other nation if in-
dustrial might were measured like
an Olympic meet.
The new Soviet figures did indi-
cate extraordinary advances from
1937 through 1954 in production
of the eight products on which
they reported: coal, crude petro-
leum, pig iron, steel, cement, elec-
trio energy, woven cotton fabrics
and woven woolen fabrics.
But as the accompanying chart
shows, in 1954 they were close to
the United States in only two
fields, woven woolens and coal.
The Russians claimed a sharp
increase in electric energy output,
a highly significant statistic be-
cause electricity is the key to ex-
panding other production.
In 1929, Russia's electrical out-
put was 6,200,000,000 kilowatts. In
1937 it was 36,200,000,000. But
1950 the figure reached 90,900,-
000,000 and in 1954 it was 149,-
400,000,000, the yearbook says,

A Russian propaganda publica-
tion ,the Soviet Weekly, boasts
that 1955 production was 170 bil-
lion kilowatts and that by 1960
Soviet power stations will be gen-
erating 320 billion. The magazine
claims Russia roselfrom 15th place
among producers of electricity in
1920 to second place now, with
current output in the Soviet Union
exceeding that of Britain, France
and Sweden combined. /
In addition to completing new
waterpower stations producing
about three million kilowatts each
by 1960, the Russians say that
atomic energy will be operating
stations of similar size in areas
short of local fuel resources. They
have claimed for two years that
they took the initiative in pro-
ducing electric energy through
atomic power.
The Russians have talked for
a long time, of course, about what
they plan to do. Future statistical
yearbooks should show whether
they've really done it.
