President To Send
Red-Ink 1956 Budget
To Congress Monday
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower sends to Con
gress Monday . a red-ink fiscal
1956 budget aimed at keeping
America militarily and econom
ically strong in this, year of "an
insecure peace."
Copies of the 1956 fiscal year
budget were distributed to news

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

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,

$10,200,000,000, Air Force $15,

secretary $500,000,000. In ad

Federal Road Program May Hurt Education
Similar
Washington (U.R) An offi
cial of the' National Education
Association -said - Saturday that
President Eisenhower's multi
billion dollar highway building
program? "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."

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

operation, according to the Long
Bell executive.
