solidate the Nittany and Pollock
areas. -
BOTH LOTT and Joseph Tech,

FOR A ESTER PENN STATE
Ike Backs Conduct
Of Former Aide
WASHINGTON (W) Former
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
said yesterday he is ready to be
nailed to the cross if the: man who
served as his secretary of the
treasury ever did a'crooked thing.
Eisenhower spoke out after Sen.
Stuart Symington, D-Mo., said the
taxpayers stand to lose more than'
$1 billion in government. stock
pile operations, largely as a result'
of what he called "special treat
ment" accorded some companies.
SYMINGTON made the state
ment as he pointed his Seilate in
vestigation of defense stockpiling
toward a series of government
contracts with nickel mining and
smelting companies headed by
former Secretary of the Treasury
George M. Humphrey.
AS FOR STOCKPILE opera
tions in his administration, Eisen
hower said they were carried on
under laws "enacted 'long before I
I got. there." He said he always
aimed to avoid/ using stockpile '
operations to .regulate the econ
omy.
His administration always tried
to avoid buying when the price,
was
,going up, he said, because
"the government has no business
being in speculation."
The armed services subcommit
tee conducting the' inquiry has
subpoenaed books of the Hum

clarifying conflict problems and

in all details.
Final examinations, according
to the committee proposal, would
