Prof. Anthony Costantino, of the University of Iowa department of money and banking, told Iowa City Kiwanians at a noon luncheon at Hotel Jefferson that stressing growth possibilities would automatically bring prices down.

He said that because of. an overemphasis by the federal government in the last five years on the inflationary threat, the nation has lost 90 to 100 billion dollars worth of goods and services. Costantino said the government, in stressing the nation's ability to produce more goods and services, should work toward three goals: 1. Unemployment should be kept at a minimum. This includes unemployment of working ers, and idle factories and land.

The professor said the administration's soil bank policy toward productive farm land. with the goal of taking land of production and thus reducing crops, is a negative approach to the problem and should be abandoned. 2.

Cunningham did not identify the three. However, both Synhorst and Gov. Herschel Loveless said they hadn't seen the request. That would leave Abrahamson, Spry, and State Auditor C. B.

"There are auditors all over the place in the state government- the comptroller's. office, the auditor's office, and the bureau of criminal Loveless "I don't see why one of them couldn't have been called upon to make the investigation," the governor added. Stevens, in his report, said there was evidence that the income tax returns by the highlyplaced tax commission employe involved had been made out in 1959 and inserted in the files for a couple of previous years.

The attorney general's office, however, concluded that there was insufficient evidence support a criminal charge.

The governor said the total for similar work in 1957 Was $46,083 and in 1958 it was $46,079. "I wouldn't know what we can attribute the increase to," Loveless said.

"I don't know why there was more need for this kind of. legal work last year than in previous years. would have thought that right of way procurement would be about equal in all three years." LOVELESS SAID he feels the legislature should consider taking the assignment of attorneys to handle the right of work away from the attorney general. Instead, he said, the legislature should set up a legal department with sufficient manpower in the highway commission, to handle all such matters. "It seems to me this could be handled with much less outlay of money if there was legal department hired by the commission," Loveless said.
