Eccles, First Security Corp. president. Mr. Martin said in Washington that the nation is in the midst of the worst financial crisis since 1931. In an interview, Mr. Eccles said Mr. Martin had not put all of the facts on the table. Our problem is this: We have a government today which is operating on a $20 to $28 billion annual deficit. We have a balance of payment deficit of $3.5 to $4 billion. We have $28 to $29 billion owed abroad, and we have less than $12 billion in gold with which to redeem that money." He warned that the only thing that we can hope to do is keep confidence in the dollar by our foreign holders primarily our foreign central banks. He said, This crisis today has been brought about because we have not adopted in Congress a fiscal policy which would cut back on our deficit we have not adopted a tax bill we have not adopted a cutback in expenditures. We have adopted a $3 to $4 billion increase in military expenses, and we are going to end with a $20 to $28 billion deficit. Our foreign bankers came over here last month met over e a weekend adopted a to order in of gold system try to protect the dollar to keep us from devaluating the dollar to keep us from increasing the price of gold, and they agreed seven central banks of the major countries agreed to hold dollars and not convert them into gold if we would adopt sane and sound domestic policies in the fiscal and monetary field.

The High clinic is being sponsored jointly by the Magna, Bingham, Hunter and Granger Lions clubs, in cooperation with the Utah State Division of Health and the Utah Society for the Prevention of Blindness. The time of the screening clinic is from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Persons having the test for diabetes will be given a test drink between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. After the test drink there is a two-howaiting period and then a small sample of blood is taken from the arm and later sent to the State Health Department Laboratory for analysis. It is recommended that people desiring to take the diabetes test refrain from dieting, but eat normally for two or three days before the test. However, no food or drink, except water, should be taken during the waiting period. There will be a charge of $1 to cover the cost of the test drink. The glaucoma testing will begin at 7 p.m. and continue until 9 p.m. There is no charge for the glaucoma test. It is done quickly and painlessly by an eye physician with an instrument called a tonometer, which measures pressure in the eye. Persons attending the clinic may have either or both tests.
