Ziegler Says Nixon Loan Old Story

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS White House press secretary

Ronald L. Ziegler refused Mon­day to discuss a suggestion that Howard'Hughes obtained politi­cal favors for a $205,000 loan he made in 1956 to President Nix­on's brother.

"That's a story that is about 14 years old . . . I have nothing to say about it," Ziegler replied to a question. "It is an old sto­ry that was fairly addressed" in 1960.

When the story about the loan broke just before the 1960 presi­dential election, both Richard Nixon who was then vice presi­dent, and his brother Donald denied that Hughes had been given any favorable treatment

The loan came up again this week in the controversy about a purported autobiography by Hughes, the billionaire industri alist who hasn't been seen in public for more than a decade

Clifford Irving, an author who said he collaborated with Hughes to compile the book in more than 100 hours of taped interviews in several locations to the Western Hemisphere, said in a television interview over the weekend that Hughes identified Clark Clifford as the man who asked him for the loan for Nixon's brother.

Clifford, onetime adviser to former President Harry S. Tru­man and later defense secre­tary in Lyndon B. Johnson's ad ministration, denied any con­nection with the loan, although he acknowledged that his firm had represented the Hughes Tool Co.

Irving said that what Hughes got in return for the loan was described hi the book, and that while the book does not call Hughes a "fixer," it pictures him as a man "who makes very careful arrangements to see that he gets what he wants."

Mutual Funds Investment Companies

Mutual fund managers may have had a lot of reasons to sound defensive last year, in­cluding the market trouncings some of them took in 1969 and 1970, but most funds had no cause to apologize for their in­vestment performance in 1971.

Even when measured on the broadest gauge—the composite index of all New York Stock Exchange issues—a majority of funds did above-average work for their holders.

Of 526 funds, 313 could boast of beating the 12.3 per cent gain of the Big Board index. Another 131 funds were able to outpace the 6.1 per cent rise of the Dow Jones industrial average al­though they didn't match the NYSE composite.

Good Gains Some of the gains were little

less than spectacular in the jagged valleys and peaks of the 1971 market

Nicholas Strong, a $38 million-assets fund based in Milwaukee, zoomed 85.5 per cent to lead the performance field.

Four other funds racked up gains exceeding 50 per cent—44 Wall Street up 70.7 per cent; Afuture, 67.4 per cent; Channing Venture, 61.1 per cent; and Row Price New Horizons 52.3 per cent. Fourteen funds were up 40 to 50 per cent, another 33 were up 30 to 40 per cent, and 261 funds scored gains between 12.3 and 30 per cent

By A. LEOKUM A volcano is an opening hi

the earth's crust Material from Inside the earth is blown out, or erupted, through this open­ing. Most of the material that comes out is gaseous, but there are also large quantities of mol­ten rock, which is called lava.

The eruption is really a gas explosion. During this explo­sion some of the lava becomes finely powdered. This is makes the eruption took a cloud of black smoke.

What causes the eruption? As you know, the deeper we go down under the surface of the earth, the higher the temper­ature. At a depth of about 20 miles it is hot enough to melt most rocks.

When rock melts it expands and needs more space. In mt-t»in areas, such as where moun­tains sre being uplifted, the pres­sure under the becomes torn in-nearby areas So molten reck (enQed "mag­ma") collects there.

This material rises along cracks that are being temnd by the uplift But the

of rock over it, it bursts forth as a volcano. The eruption lasts until the gas is gone.

So a volcano is connected with a focal reservoir of melted rock in the crust of the earth It is not related to the center of the earth, as some people think.

In most cases, a volcano has a short period of activity which is followed by a long quiet period.

as the funds on the other end of the scale.

There were 54 funds that had plus signs smaller than the 6.1 per cent of the Dow, for ex­ample, and 28 funds that reg­istered declines in net asset value per share. The biggest backtrackers were Technical Fund, off 23.1 per cent; First Hedge of Boston, off 26 per cent; and Competitive Associates, off 23.5 per cent.

Asset Value Used Figures used in comparing

the funds are the net asset value per share at yearend and at yearend 1971. The NAV of each fund was adjusted for capital gains distributed during the year but not for dividends, a method viewed as keeping fund results as comparable as pos­sible with the unadjusted aver­ages.

The ranking was compiled specifically for this column by Arthur Lipper Corp. which has been tracking the funds on a weekly basis.

On a full reinvestment basis, the 344 growth funds in the list had the best relative perform­ance as a group, advancing 19.8 per cent on, average. The growth-and-income, income and balanced fund sectors each were up slightly more than 14 per cent. Five bank and in­surance funds gained 32 per cent, on average. The Lipper index of the largest growth funds was ahead 23.2 per cent for the year. Lipper's average of all' the funds, adjusted for reinvestment, was ahead 18.1
