Circus Thrills Big Crowds In Bethlehem The thunder of elephant's feet shook the ground under the big top and brought on squeals of pleasure from the hundreds of youngsters gathered to watch the Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers combined circus yesterday in Bethlehem.

Under the direction Rex Williams, the three herds of pachyderms circled the three rings, stood on each other's backs and flipped girls in sparkling costumes into the air their Trapeze Act The all new edition of the combined circuses features The Flying Gaonas from Mexico City who thrilled the crowd yesterday with their feats on the high trapeze. Their performance featured a tricky "double passover," a maneuver in which two of the three men in the troupe hurtle past each other through the air, one from the catcher to the bar, the other from the bar to the catcher. On the difficult triple flip, a miscue left the audience with their hearts in their mouths. The catcher missed. The net did not.

Other performers in the three rings were the Franconia Family, daring bareback riders from Italy; the Bale Troupe European Horse Show; a Hungarian troupe of jugglers and the Six Meiers, Swiss bicycle daredevils. Outside the big top on the midway, sideshow performers such as Princess Anne, the world's smallest woman at 39 inches and Bobo the Rubber Man were featured.

It tells whether your usual manner of payment on open accounts is to pay within 30 days of billing or in more than 30 days but not more than 60 days or if you are two payments past due on an installment account. With this information, the store credit sales manager or other credit-granter must decide whether or not he will extend credit to you. A spokesman for an Allentown department store explained how the credit bureau's report is used. "Basically we look to see whether the faithfully honors obligations. We use the report as a general indication of his willingness to pay.

If a customer has had some bad debts or has been delinquent in payments, in following up his case we may find out this was due to a marital problem, for example, and that his current record is good. We do not ask for income figures because this doesn't mean anything if we don't know his obligations too. But we can go on his past record, especially if he has shown his willingness to pay his bills." No "Invasion of Privacy" The files in the credit bureaus are kept confidential. "Every attempt is made to insure that the person seeking information from our files is authorized to do so," explained Stanley Gilbert of the Easton office.

Week's Domestic News Shows Favorable Trend Continued From Page D-1 Some analysts have been predicting that the payments deficit for the first quarter may be around $1 billion and for the year as a whole it $2.5 to $3 billion. "Warns of Overextension James J. O'Leary, chairman of Lionel D. Edie economic consultants, underscored the dangers inherent in the current financial and economic situation when he said this week: "Our economy is becoming more overextended.

Wages and prices see certain 10 escalate. Preservation of confidence at home and abroad in the value of the dollar requires a balanced use of fiscal and monetary restraint. "Without this, we may be forced into direct government controls of wages and prices. We may also be forced into government control of capital issues, and selective credit controls." Banker David Rockefeller also sounded a warning, saying that a federal tax increase of at least $10 billion was most urgent as well as a slash of several billions in federal spending. Toward the weekend there were reports that the administration and members of Congress were nearing agreement on a spending tax package.

That would return rates close to their 1963 levels. Economist Pierre Rinfret said: "I'm in favor of it. We must show our willingness to defend the dollar. It would have been a mistake to have raised taxes in the last 15 months, but the timing is right now. The economy can stand it and I don't believe it would be knocked down too Market Cautious With uncertainties abounding, it was hardly surprising that the stock market moved cautiously and narrowly.

The Employment Service Notes Anniversary Continued From Page D-1 to be covered, whether the applicant is required to use his own car, etc. Miss Yellis and her co-workers do not lose sight of the fact people are involved. "We're dealing with human beings," she said, "and we have to gain the confidence, respect and complete trust of our clients and our applicants. "'You can't help getting involved, and after a while you begin hoping with the applicant that he gets the job and are as happy as he is if he's accepted." There have been some changes during the years that Miss Yellis has operated her agency. "In 1947, secretaries were earning between $25 and $30 per week.

Today they earn from $75 to $110 per week," she remarked. "I also recall a year when the placement bureau of one large university called us to assist them in placing the graduates of their engineering program. You wouldn't see that happening today." Today, she said, certain advertisements bring in a big response from applicants. Highsalaried engineering positions and openings for commercial artists, company pilots, attorneys, controllers and personnel directors always result in many inquiries. After making this observataion, she stressed that the employment service is not a place of last resort, some mistakenly think.

"Ninety per cent of our applicants are people who are employed. Perhaps they are in spots where they can't advance further, so they come in to upgrade themselves. Or they are planning a move in or out of our Has National Listings Miss Yellis also operates as a member of National Personnel Associates, which is comprised of privately owned employment agencies. Membership is limited to one agency in each city with the exception of metropolitan areas where five is a maximum. As one of the 150 members of NPA, Miss Yellis' agency has connections throughout the United States, and is able to advertise local openings nationally or place local people in other areas.

She is also a member of the National Employment Association, a lobbying organization which also prescribes a code of ethical practices. In 1958 she took on the Kelly Girl Service. now known as Kelly Services, which supplied temporary help to area employers.
