Profs define problem, not solution
Some economists at the University of Kansas interviewed last week disagreed on the best possible solution to the economic crisis and argued that something needed to be done soon.
THE PRESIDENT'S budget proposal, which shows a $2$ billion deficit, his tax rebate plan and his proposal to increase the tax base in steps said in the right direction. Shaffer said.
Shaffer said that he was in general agreement with President Ford's economic policies, but that past history had shown that more must be done to bolster the economy.
The United States isn't in a genuine depression at this time, according to Harry Shaffer, professor of economics. He said that a more accurate term to describe the country's economic woes was stagnation, rather than a description of inflation and stagnation, he said.
"The two main problems with the economy are inflation and unemployment." Shaffer said. "During the Nixon years the primary emphasis was on inflation, but the real danger for the nation right now is unemployment."
Ronald Olsen, professor of economics, agreed with Shaffer. Olsen said that he generally supported the President's economic proposals, but that they were only a start toward strengthening the nation's economy.
Rising unemployment means reduced production of goods and services, less consumer spending and further economic burden for those who can least afford it, he said.
Four men remain in Douglas County Jail
Monday after being arrested Saturday night
in connection with three apartment
blocks during the KU-KState
basketball game.
4 men charged with burglaries
Being held in lieu of stouffer are: Jeff Turner Jr., 21, Stouffer Place; Albert C. Bormaskai; Tepeka; H. John Hammail, 20, Bormaskai and Samuel L. Jordan, 20, Stouffer Place.
Each is charged with three counts of burglary and three counts of theft in connection with the burglary of three apartments at 905 Emery, Turner and Jordan are held in lieu of $ 4,000 bonds. Thomas and Hammard are being held in lieu of $ 7,300 bonds.
Mike Thomas, director of the Security and Parking Department, said the four men were spotted and identified in a car after the game. Search warrants were issued, Thomas said, and the men's homes were entered.
Thomas had another warrant for his arrest outstanding when he was arrested for the burglaries Saturday night. In it he is charged with two counts of burglary and three counts of grand theft in connection with a robbery Feb. 11 at Stoffer Place.
Howard L. Kelley, 25, Kansas City, Kan., was also arrested, on a charge of illegal possession of marijuana, during the arrest of two suspects in the case of the suspects in his burglary case was being searched when police officers found marijuana allegedly in the possession of him. He was released from the Douglas County jail after charges charged in connection with the burglars.
Engineers suggest load limit for bridge
A load limit of 8 to 10 tons for the Massachusetts bridge over the Kansas River was recommended Monday by inkey and Turnipseed, consulting engineers, calling for the limit is to be considered by the Lawrence City Commission today.
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said that the ordinance would probably go into effect Friday, following its approval and publication.
The object of the load limit is to protect the bridge's superstructure, he said.
Major users that would be affected by the load limit were notified of the impending limit. Steve Glass, treasurer of Lawrence Asphalt, said his company had received a request to appear at the Lawrence City Commission meeting about the load limit.
Vehicles that exceed the load limit will have to cross the river on the turnip bridge. Three-axle trucks are charged 25 cents to cross that bridge.
Wildmen said the limit would prevent many trucks from crossing the bridge, including sanitation trucks, concrete trucks and dump trucks. But wilderness would still be able to use the bridge, he said.
Glass said that the turnpike could cause a 10 to 15 minute delay in deliveries on the east side of Lawrence. He said that since his company worked on a bid basis, the company would temporarily have to absorb the increase in transportation costs. On new bids, he said, the increase would be passed on to the customers.
Wilden said that arguments against the limit might be pointless since the city has the jurisdiction to impose such a limit to assure the safety of the bridge.

“It’s a kind of return to the 1930s” Olsen said, and I believe that it is an inefficient way.
Olsen said he favored a tax reduction of $25 billion instead of the $12 billion tax reduction proposed by President Ford. He added that the tax cut was to increase consumer spending.
An aspect of Ford's economic package that Olsen disagreed with was the employment which would create a company which would create subsidies by the federal government.

Olsen said that if he were advising the President he would encourage a more extensive tax rebate plan and more funds for transit. He said it would be as urban transit and public school systems.

Leland Pritchard, professor of economics, said he was also in favor of subsidizing public transportation. But he criticized the government's employment. Pritchard said a huge amount of public service employment was needed to stimulate the economy and consumer spending.
"But we won't be able to solve our unemployment problem until inflation is gone."
Pritchard said the major cause of inflation in this country was the manner in which the Federal Reserve had mismanaged the country's money.

The Federal Reserve has allowed the nation's money supply to increase at a rate three times greater than that of the previous decade, be said.
If he were assigned to mend the nation's economy, Pritchard said, he would allow the oil companies to charge whatever they wished. But he would recapture their profits with net income taxes and higher taxes on imported petroleum products, he said.
Pritchard said he would also support immediate tax rebates to the poor and the use of income taxes to subsidize public research of alternative sources of energy.
Shaffer, Olsen and Pritchard said that rationing wasn't the answer to the nation's
"Rationing is costly and hard to enforce," Shaffer said.
