	Guardian \| Barber Conable
		Barber Conable, who has died aged 81, is best remembered as the man who took the World Bank by the scruff of the neck, totally reorganised its often sclerotic bureaucracy and persuaded the US Congress to double the amounts the bank could disburse to developing nations.
		Not the least of Conable's contributions to the folklore of the scandal was his description of a Nixon comment, recorded on the White House tapes on June 23 1973.
		Conable's principal expertise was in budgetary issues, and he played a significant role in modifying the internal distribution of federal funds and in American tariff reform.

	Why the Death Notice of Congressman Barber Conable Caught this Historian's Attention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Barber B. Conable, a 20-year Republican congressman from New York and former president of the World Bank, died at the age of 81.
		Through it all, Conable remained a voice for moderation, and in 1976 he steadfastly supported Gerald Ford for a full term, despite a thundering primary challenge from Ronald Reagan, in which the former governor almost snatched the nomination from the incumbent president.
		Conable also put the "k" in "401k." As a way to protect the pensions of Eastman Kodak employees, a major constituency in his district, Conable amended section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.

		Barber had paid $46 for his copy of E.W. Vanderhoof’s Historical Sketches of Western New York, and a collector from Buffalo said he had been looking for it for years and was so surprised to find it that he wouldn’t even take time to argue with our $210 price.
		Barber was pleased to recall that the New York State Museum’s William N. Fenton, who wrote extensively on the subject, called Barber’s masks the finest collection in the country in private hands.
		Since Barber was chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Museum of the American Indian when it was in New York City, and was a Regent of the Smithsonian at the time of his passing, perhaps his masks have gone back to the Indians.
