Protests Hospital's BY LEWIS HANEY Prefeesar ef Economics, New York JJaiversMy" In a paper prepared for the American Bankers association, the economist of the Irving Trust Murray Shields, discusses the pro blem of government debt. No one man can accuse Mr. Shields of favoring pump-priming or a "managed currency." His main proposals are (1) to free private enterprise in order to get expanded production, and (3) to revise taxes in order to unleash Investment in free private enterprise. (Incidentally, he' predicts continued high taxes.) This all seems to be reasonable and sound. But is Mr.

Shields on eafe ground whin he tries to be op timistic about the public debt and the inflation associated with it, saying that they will not be too burdensome if production expands proportionately? His statement as reported is that debt of 300 billion dollars need not be too burdensome if "paced by proportionate or bigger growth in economic productivity." if we match the money supply with goods and services, inflation" will be remote. This is a widely held idea, and is found In New Deal circles as well as among more conservative economists. The first question that occurs to me, however, is, how big is the "if?" What are the chances that "produc tion" can be, or will be, stepped up in proportion to the vast and growing quantity of currency? Frankly, the "If" seems to me to be practically insurmountable. The public debt is not only enormous, but is growing. The government shows no tendency to end its "deficit financing," and that means bigger debt.

As the war spending is reduced, the peace-time spending is expanded. Does the' "money supply" U-Boats On Patrol In North Vv1 -A A 'O 1 -P VOl w. i 1 1 1 Dr. Selic A. Shevln, for 17 years a son Park Hospital, resigned in patient, Toyoko Murayama, 19, emergency esse.

Fight From Bondings Reinforced concrete pillboxes and mines were a i a aground; from the second floors of office buildings the Japanese poured down deadly mortar and machlnegnn fire. The enemy used the mortars with good effect, and of course, considerable damage to buildings. (NBC Radio Reporter George Thomas FolsUr said the Japanese were shelling the entire area, even the riorth bank of the Pasig. with a "heavy, arresting fire." (Folster described the enemy defense in the Intra mouros section as "so strong and so determined that it is certain to take considerably more time yet to clean out the Japs" from Manila.) Fires still burned in three sections of Manila yesterday, but seemed to be diminishing.

Maj. Gen. Oscar W. Griswold, l'4th Corps commander, told Associated Press Correspondent Fred Hampson that the Japanese have wantonly devastated a considerable part of the heart of Manila with demolition charges. "A lot of this destruction is wanton and of no military purpose," he said.

"It's ridiculous to assume they had stores in all those burned buildings. We are doing all we can to stop it, but we are up against a nesdle in a haystack Job." The. Japanese tried to land a baragr-load of reinforcement troops along the Torldo waterfront Just north of the Pasig river mouth, but these were wiped out. Food Situation Acute Caring 'for a large number of hungry civilians and liberated internees is not easing the army's task of clearing Manila. Transportation facilities are still insufficient to handle the large movement of people.

The food situation for civilians is acute. On BaUan, the 38th Division of the Eighth army reached the town of Moron in a 10-mile drive down the west coast of the historic peninsula to which many Japanese are believed to have fled. The Yanks on Bataan have seen some of the toughest fighting of the entire Lnson campaign. South of Manila, the Japanese counter-attacked twice near Tagaytay against elements of the 11th Airborne Division but were "bloodily repulsed," MacArthur reported. North of Manila, the Sixth division secured crossings on the upper Pampanga river at Rizal and at Bongabong, the farthest eastern penetration of the central Luzon plain.

From Bongabong a good mountain road leads to the west coast of Luzon at Baler Bay.

And his eyes are very bad now, he can see to read. But he gets all right, and even drives the car to town now and then.

We think he shouldn't be driving, but every time Aunt Mary mentions that, he goes out and gets in the car and drives to town, so she's stopped mentioning it. Dad helps with the dishes, and Aunt Mary reads to him at night, and last summer he even helped some with the harvesting when the neighbors were hard up for help of that, life is without duties or energy for him.

One of our neighbors, Mrs. Howard Goforth, came down with a violent rheumatism, so Aunt Mary drove over and put hot cloths on her for several hours, got noon time dinner for the farm hands, did the weekly washing, and then got supper ready for them before she came home- for her own evening chores. Next day a blizzard was on.

The Ice was so slick she didn't dare take the car out of the garage. The snow on the roads was two feet deep and it was bitter cold. Bo what Old Aunt Mary do? She Just bundled up and walked three-quarters of a mile over to Goforths, worked all day, and then "walked back in the evening through the snow. She sure doesn't take after her nephew.

Polverento Was arrested at- the Hotel Michigan at 3:50 i. m. by city police, who said that he had Jumped a bill of $48.50 at the Pre-mier-botci mean the total Including deposits and notes? If so, what limit is there to the total that may pile up? Indeed, one reason why I might doubt' that economio production should not increase as much as hoped, is that investors' may easily come to fear the dollar as a standard for deferred payments. (This is to say nothing of the difficulties of foreign exchange.) Again, no very large expansion in production-can be expected unless there is an adequate Incentive. Therefore, I ask, what Incentive now exists, or is in sight, that will lead free enterprisers to expand production? What about the prices for their products? These are mostly, held down or rolled back, and especially so if any considerable number are making good profits.

What about their expenses? Labor is constantly demanding higher wages. Raw materials, particularly farm products, are raised In price. And I note that Mr. Shields writes about "economic production," al though the government proposes vast spending for public works and other activities -that have no economic value. That makes the "if" much bigger.

The second question is, how can changing quantities of goods be matched against a quantity of money, except through changing prices? i And If production is to expand, wont wage payments, interest, dividends, and profits also increase? Wont the inflation gap grow? Finally, what is to become of the many billions of dollars in savings and "liquid assets?" If these are to be spent, on top of the growing currency incomes, and at present prices, if will take more goods than one can imagine to match the money supply.

Spy Said To Be Important Nazi Military Man NEW YORK, Feb. 10- (AP) -Identification of Erich Glmpel as an important Nazi official was provided by American-born- William Curtis Colepaugh as their closed military trial c-f spy charges resumed today at Governors Island.

Although the greater weight of evidence in the trial so far has dealt with activities of the 26-year-old Colepaugh, his 35-year-old companion was described yesterday in thlx fashion: "Glmpel had a private office in the security army headquarters at Berlin and had his own private secretary. He appeared to be an important individual as knew everyone around the headquarters and was treated with respect, because they saluted him; he did not salute them." The words are Colepaugh's, taken from a statement which he gave the FBI and which was entered as testimony. The two men are accused of entering the United States from a submarine Nov. 29 to commit sabotage and espionage. The Niantlc, youth's statement also told how he jumped ship last year in Lisbon and went to Germany where he attended a school which prepared him for his secret mission to his homeland.

mission was to obtain information regarding shipbuilding, airplanes, rockets and any war information that would be of value to Germany," the statement said. "Our mission was to last for two years." Colepaugh told the FBI J'I do not feel I owe any particular allegiance to the United States." He also said he wanted to join the German army and added "it would have been a little difficult to fight my friends, but it would have made no difference to fight the American army."
