Copies of the 1956 fiscal year budget were distributed to news papermen here Friday.' They, Two Congressmen Blast Policies on Overseas Attaches Washington (U.R) Two farm belt congressmen blasted the Ag riculture department ' Saturday for its refusal to say whom it hires and fires as agricultural attaches, one also charged the department with encouraging these overseas agents to become "booze hounds." Rep. Usher L. Burdick (R-N. D.) demanded that William G. Lodwick, chief . of the depart ment's foreign agricultural serv ice, be removed from his post. He' also said an official sugges tion to Attaches that they "en gage in the give and take of social affairs" was the worst ad vice ever given government workers. Refuses to Comment Lodwick on Friday refused to discuss what the department had done with 11 agricultural attaches it inherited along with controversial land reform expert Wolf Ladejinsky from the State Department. He told a re porter it was not a legitimate question. Asked if government business is not public business, Lodwick replied: "It is not and you know it" Rep. Fred Marshall (D-Minn.) in a separate interview endorsed Burdick's view. He denounced as "deplorable" the f Depart ment's secrecy policy and said its emphasis on social, entertain ing was questionable. - The Agricultural Department under recent legislation was given responsibility for' 54 agri cultural attaches who formerly worked overseas for the State Department. It accepted 30. of the remaining 24, J 2 were career foreign service officers who were elected to remain with State in other jobs. l L ' ' ' i 88 ' 7U. 0,v -3.3 . MS? OPEN SUNDAYS OPEN WEEKDAYS . . , therefore, know the precise amount the administration in tends to spend and how much it expects to receive in taxes to defray the cost of government. These figures, however, will not be released publicly .until pre sented to Congress at noon EST Monday. Estimates Possible However, on the basis of past reports from administration of ficials and from . the President himself some estimate may be given of the dollars-and-cents the government expects to spend and receive. Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey indicated last month at a news conference that the government is trying to limit the deficit for the 1956 fiscal year to less than $3,000,000,000. At that time he did not know whether the goal' could be reached. At any rate,- he ruled out any balanced budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Early this month, informed sources reported that Mr. Eisen hower's spending budget tenta tively at the time shaped up at about $63,000,000,000 with a deficit of slightly over $3,000, 000,000. For the current fiscal year, the most recent figures i indi cated the government would go into the red about $4,700,000, 000 with spending at $64,000, 000,000 and receipts of $59,300, 000,000. From Mr. Eisenhower's State-of-the-Unlon message and other sources, this much can be gleaned of what; will be contained in the Taxes There will be no tax reductions this year. Moreover, the President will ask that the corporation tax rates scheduled to drop from 52 to 47 per cent on April 1 be continued at pres ent rates, and special Korean excise . (sales) taxes on autos, liquor, and tobacco be continued. However, the President hoped for tax reductions next year, v Military The defense budget shaped up at about $35,000000, 000 with the Air Force getting the major share. Ikmay be divid ed Army, $9,000,000,000, Navy $10,200,000,000, Air Force $15, 300,000,000, and unified activ ities directly under the defense secretary $500,000,000. In ad dition military aid expenditures for foreign nations r all to aid in the global free world's de fense are expected to be about $3,200,000,000.

"will discriminate against education" unless sim ilar help is provided for build ing SChoOlS. . ' 'X ' f " ; ; Dr.- J. L. McCaskill, legislative director of the 1,000,000 mem ber teachers organization, said in an interview that he fears some states will use for high ways money that should go for schools if federal highway grants are , expanded greatly "without commensurate aid for school construction." ' ' ' There is a 370,000 classroom shortage at present; NEA. reg ional meetings agreed unani mously this winter that $1,000, 000,000 in federal money is needed annually for, the next five years to make up .the de ficit. ;,. ;.r '.;, McCaskill said he feared the states may be tempted to use school funds for road building "because they get a ,. dollar's worth of highways for every 50 cents they put up" under the government's "matching" road grants. McCaskill believes more fed eral money is needed for road building but said "every argu ment in favor of it is equally applicable to schools and, in some cases more urgent." Long-Bell Plant Sets Added Plywood Shift Longview (U.R) J. D. Le land, president of Long-Bell Lumber. . Company, has an nounced the addition of a second shift at the company's plywood plant here. Leland also revealed plans to eliminate a shift at the com pany's west head mill. - This curtailment would affect about 170 employees, while the new plywood shift would involve about 100 additional workers. -1 Elimination of the. west head mill, Leland said, is a part of a general shift from sawmilling to production of other wood pro ducts and by-products. - Many of the workers dropped from the payroll at the sawmill will be employed in the plywood operation, according to the Long Bell executive. be about the same in this fiscal year about $2,000,000,000.
