Cm stall Tribune want axil,
Washington, Jan. 1
A Joint congressional commit
tee's preliminary recommenda
tion for sharp reductions in farm
appropriations and expenditures
drew fire today from house ag
riculture committee members.
They were virtually unani
mous in their criticism of sug
gestions for savings made in a
report by the joint committee on
non-essential expenditures, es
pecially regarding possible cuts
in the farm program.
Approximately $400,000,000
of the $1,300,000,000 the joint
committee said could be shaved
from the federal budget during
the emergency would come from
the department of agriculture or
agencies operating through that
department.
Strong For FSA
The committee's recommenda
tion for abolition of the farm se
curity administration was unani
mously opposed oy agriculture
committee members who re
mained in the capital during the
holidays. The FSA has a direct
appropriation of $70,500,000 and
authority to borrow $120,000,
000 additional.
Representative Pierce (D-Ore.)
a high-ranking member of the
agriculture committee, said he
would vigorously resist aboli
tion of the FSA and the farm
tenant program.
"We have done a great deal
to rehabilitate the farmer in re
cent years, and we must not il
low the farm program to be
thrown back to where It was In'
1933," he said. !
Would Drop NYA
Pierce said substantial savings
could be affected by abolishing
the national youth administra
tion and by sharply curtailing
the operations of the civilian
conservation corps, the WPA
and the public building admin
istration. Representative Hook (D-Mich.)
said some of the recommenda
tions Indicated that the economy
committee had not gone into the
problem of expenditures thor
oughly, and declared it was er
roneous to class agriculture ex
penditures as non-essential.
PORTLANLTQUIETED
New Face
Portland, Ore., Jan. 1. UP)
A quiet Portland greeted the
new year last midnight, street
crowds being thinned by war
time regulations and cold weath
er to proportions of an average
Saturday night
Only scattered cheers and an
occasional automobile horn
marked the year's advent.
Police said accidents and ar
rests were nominal.
Egg a Day to Keep
Japs Away -Slogan
Owatonna. Minn., Jan. 1.
"An egg a day to keep the
Japs away" is the Red Cross
county drive slogan.

ute one egg a day for 30 days
to aid in raising the county's

J.FAG TAX START
EXPECTED SOON
Salem, Jan. 1 W) Collec
tion of the state cigarette tax of
two cents per package might be
gin within two or three weeks,
the state tax commission ad
vised Governor Charles A.
Sprague yesterday.
Collection will be made by
means of stamps or meter can
cellations. The tax would raise
$1,200,000 a year, five-sixths of
the revenue to be used for old
age pensions and one-sixth for
vocational education.
The Oregon Retail Grocers
association, however, is expect
ed to seek a court order over
ruling Attorney General I. H.
Van Winkle's opinion that the
measure should not be referred
to the people. If the association
is successful, collection would
be delayed until after the No
vember election.
New faces will be pushed to
ward screen prominence in the
coming year by movie makers,
hopeful they'll find new stars
on their hands. Prominent
among those the public will see
a lot more of during 1942 will
be Janet Blair (above).

VASSAR'S CUPID SLOWER
Poughkecpsie, N. Y. (UP)

the bishops traveled to nearby
Fort Frederica, where they saw
the "Wesley Oak", historic spot

Salem, Jan. 1 UP) Stat
