HEER DISCUSSES DEPRESSION CURE Dr. Heer Tells Economics Semi nar of Use for Government Funds During Depression. Dr. Clarence Heer addressed the meeting of the economic seminar Wednesday evening with a talk on the implications of popular economic theories on the fiscal operations of the gov ernment: He said that the current wri ters on economic problems gen erally concede that we possess the requisite resources and tech nical skill to support everybody on the basis of a much higher standard of living than has ever been achieved. Yet in the midst of potential plenty, millions are now living in abject poverty. Governmental Spending One explanation of this para dox places the blame on the dis parity between the rate of money savings and the rate of capital investment. Unless savings are actually spent on the production of new capital goods, purchasing power bogs down and a defla tionary cycle is set in motion. The deflationary effect of a de cline in the production of new capital goods can and should be offset by a proportionate expan sion of governmental spending. The government will get the necessary funds for this purpose, according to the proponents of the plan, by the use of its credit. The national income has - de clined by some forty billion dol- ars since the peak of the pros perity period. As the price-pumping opera tions take effect and as the forty billion dollars of lost income is egained the need for further public spending will cease and the national income, restored to its prosperity level, will furnish the tax funds with which to re tire the initially incurred in debtedness. MacFarland Appointed Sophomore Officer To Take Place of Harry Dosher Who Failed to Return. George MacFarland was ap pointed treasurer of the sopho more class Thursday in place of Harry Dosher who was elected o the position last spring, but was unable to return to school.

Louisville, Oct. 18. (UP) Federal agents tonight had their first definite clue as to the direc- ion taken by Thomas Robinson, Jr., who is sought as the kidnap er of Mrs. B. V. Stoll. . . An automobile abandoned in Springfield, Ohio, was identified hrough finger prints as having been driven by Robinson. Also the serial number of a five dollar bill that he gave a rooming house keeper coincided with the num bers of the Stoll ransom money. Fled East Although Robinson fled east it is considered possible that he may have doubled back, perhaps heading toward Chicago. Federal agents do not antici pate his immediate capture but regard it as inevitable. A special session of the grand jury has been ordered for Satur day to consider evidence against Robinson's wife and father, who are charged with violation of the indbergh law. The victim of the crime was feeling fine today' and reported as doing well. Father Arrested Thomas' Robinson, Sr., father of the kidnap suspect, was for mally arrested in Nashville late oday on charges of aiding and abetting the abduction. Through Attorney Montagu Ross he pleaded not guilty. The elder Robinson's bond has been set at $25,000. He was re- eased shortly afterward. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for October 26.
