The letter also recommends that Prosecutor Spelman take "any other action as may be legally required" against Farina and Peck. Prosecutor Spelman said he plans to conduct an investigation to "see what the facts are." He has asked both justices to re-examine their accounts.

"A re-check will take some time to do, but right now it looks, as though these two cases are faulty bookkeeping more than anything else." Spelman also said: "The auditor general uses police reports of arrests and convictions as a starting point. These reports frequently show the imposition of a fine and costs, when, in fact the justice has suspended payment completely'. This happens all the time in hardship cases and in arrests when the violation is a technicality rather than a serious breach of the law." "In such Instances, the justice naturally would have nothing to turn over to the county treasurer." Farina confined his position to the statement he read over the phone. When first advised of the auditor's report yesterday, he indicated flatly he thought the audit was in error. PECK ATTRIBUTED his citation to his failure to properly credit fine and cost sentences which he suspended.

Peck pointed out he received no money in these cases, so consequently he didn't credit any to the county. Justice Peck also said during the last 18 months, he paid into the county treasurer $500 or $600 over his regular, amount by means of a clerical error. He said the money was paid in accidentally when the legal form on bond forfeitures for traffic tickets were changed. Peck said he felt this would take care of most of the shortage. Peck, an active justice for 16 years, was critical of the public announcement made by Auditor Szymanskl.

R. Grace, Carrier, for growth. Q. My wife and I are 52 and 56, own our home and have $3,500 cash in banks. Plus: 20-to-50 shares of Texas General Electric, General Motors, Carbide and $29,000 worth of funds, plus $11,600 In bonds, all matured.

Is our program balanced to meet future inflation? A. Your stocks and funds are all good quality and should do a good job for you if we run into serious inflation. The bonds, of course, are not inflation-proof. Roughly, you have four times as much money in equities as In dollars (E bonds and savings account). I think that's a pretty good ratio and I'm not so sure of either inflation or a rising market as to urge you to switch more out of the bonds into stocks.

You can get a bit more by putting the bonds into Federally insured savings and loans. But other than that I'd be inclined to stand pat for the time being. Q. I am 26 and have just drawn all my money out. of the bank and sold my bonds to buy six shares A.

T. two Bethlehem Steel and five Illinois Power. Did I buy good stock? A. I have no quarrel with the quality of shares you bought (although at 26 you don't have to be quite that conservative). What puzzles me is what happened to convince you all of a sudden you no longer money in the bank? Have you written off women for life? (I'm assuming you're unmarried).

Keep the shares, accumulate the equivalent of a few months wages in the savings bank and then resume buying stock on a regular basis, investing whenever you can in American Airlines, Phillips Pete, Carrier, Corning Glass, Alle-ghahy-Ludlum and others with growth potential in basic industries.

DELAY BUCHANAN MEET BUCHANAN, Jan. 19 The guest night meeting, scheduled by the Worn en's Christian Temperance Union for Monday evening, has been changed to Jan. 28 In the Church of the Nazarene, By SAM SHULSKY Author of "The Stock Buying Guide" Q. I recently read an article on TMT Trailer which so impressed me that I have- been considering taking the money I now hare in the savings bank, $10,000, and investing it in this company. I am 62, receive a pension from N.

Y. Telephone and am now employed as a receptionist. I hope to retire at 65. A. I wish I had a psychoanalyst to help me with your answer.

It is evident that all your life you have been a steady, sober worker, storing up bonds, and an annuity, and earning a pension from the telephone' company which is worth $25,000, now holding down a job with a large metals company. Now, at age 62, only three years from retirement you suddenly decide you are going to plunge all your substantial savings into a speculation merely because a broker thinks highly of it. TMT Trailer is a new company in a new industry. It may very well out to be the best idea yet in overwater movement of freight. Or it may flop.

And you may not get either decision for years. I can very readily see a young man risking, say up to five per cent of his investable funds in such a project. But for a man on the threshold of retirement to put all his savings into it would be sheer folly. In three years you will need a safe steady income. It seems to me you should prepare for that by investing in companies which have already proved their ability to earn money and pay dividend.

Q. I am 42, with my own home, five children, and $50 to $100 a month for investment. I started with the monthly investment plan, buying Wesfrrighouse and now National Biscuit. Any other ideas? A. So far, so good.

I think you ought to continue in this vein, trying for both income and growth prospects.
