Plan Developed
Too Late; Won't
Raise Estimate
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower's new farm
budget, which went to Congress
yesteray, is out of date in one
important field.
The budget has nothing to say
about the cost of the acreage re
serve program, the administra
tion's plan for paying farmers in
cash or kind to reduce produc
tion of wheat, cotton and other
basic crops.
USDA officials said the acre'
age reserve plan was developed
too late to include in the detailed
budget, which was assembled in
the middle of last month. But
these officials insist the plan
won't raise the budget estimate
of government farm spending for
the 1957 fiscal year, which be
gins next July first.
Slight Increase
The estimate is $3,660,000,000,
a slight increase over the current
fiscal year. USDA spokesmen
said the cost of the acreage re
serve plan will be cancelled out
by savings in price support ex
penses if the program goes into
effect.
Following are some of the
highlights of this campaign-year
farm budget proposal:
Extension service payments to
states in fiscal 1957 would be
$48,000,000, up $3,500,000 from
the current fiscal year.
The Forest Service would get
nearly $96,500,000, an increase
of $3,000,000.
Watershed Developments
The Soil Conservation Service
gets a slight increase, too, and
the. President proposes a boost
of $3,750,000 in funds for small
watershed developments.
The Administration proposes
to make REA loans totalling
$230,000,000 in the 1957 fiscal
.year, up $15,000,000 from the
estimate for the current year.
And Farmers Home Administra
tion department would get more
money under the proposed bud
get. Marketing Research, which
plays an important part in
USDA's plans, will be boosted
from slightly under $24,000,000
oto more than $25,000,000.

GOP Said Promised
Chance To Cut Taxes
Washington (U.R) A lead
ing Democratic congressman has
charged that GOP congressmen
have been promised a chance to
vote for a tax cut before the No
vember elections.
House Democratic Leader
John McCormack said, house
leaders, lining up Republican'
votes against a Democratic tax
cut proposal last year, told GOP
congressmen President Eisen
hower would recommend tax re
lief for low-income groups this
year.
But house' Republicans denied
they had received such a prom
ise. President Eisenhower told
Congress in his budget message
yesterday that anticipated sur
pluses this fiscal year and in
1957 are not big enough to per
mit tax relief. He suggested that
these expected surpluses be used
to cut the national debt. "

Republicans Hail
President's Budget
Washington U.R) Republi
cans generally are hailing Pres
ident Eisenhower's balanced bud
get today as a major achieve
ment but some GOP leaders said
it might be trimmed here and
there.
Democratic congressional lead
ers, for their part, are ready to
take a close look' at the nearly
$64,000,000,000 budget.
Sen. Harry Byrd (D-Va.) called
the President's budget message
to congress an "orgy of spend
ing." Byrd said ' "Congress
should . . . restore this country
to principles of sound finance."
Sen.. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
has asked Congress to keep an
open mind on Mr. Eisenhower's
proposal for long-range foreign
aid commitments. He made the
appeal in the face of bi-partisan
opposition to planning foreign
aid as much as 10 years ahead.
The budget proposal includes
a jump in spending of more than
$1,500,000,000 over last year.
Mr. Eisenhower came out against
any tax cuts now.

Appropriations
Portland (U.R) Bonneville
Power Administrator William A.
Pearl said today appropriations
of $26,000,000 for Bonneville
power administration for the fis
cal, year starting July 1 have
been requested in President Ei
senhower's budget message. "
' The request includes $18,700,
000 for construction and $7,400,
000 for operation and mainten
ance. . .
Pearl said an additional $3,
022,000 from carryover of prior
fiscal years, available for con
struction, and $333,000 in reim
bursements will make a total
budget of $29,455,000 dollars.
Pearl said electrical facilities
in progress of construction dur
ing fiscal 1957' will transmit
Chief Joseph power to the Puget
Sound area, interconnect The
Dalles powerhouse . with the
main grid, and reinforce exist
ing facilities in the Seattle, The
Dalles, Portland, Coos Bay, Pas
co, La Grande, Wenatchee and
Spokane areas. Pearl said this
will require spending some $12,
731,000. V .

year, requiring $8,570,000, in

customer facilities, total -$1,715,-

facilities total $985,000.
Some 2,200 Americans lost
their lives in accidents with fire
arms in 1954 half of them in
their homes.
Green said th treaty the
tribes signed with the federal
government Aug. 11, 1855, was
never ratified by the.U. S. Sen
ate. Hence, Green thinks, the
Indians are a "sovereign peo
ple" entitled to payment for a
piece of southwest - Oregon 75
miles long and 40 miles wide.
Towns Included
The land includes virgin tim
ber stands, rivers and harbors,
and . also the towns of Reedsport,
Florence, Coos Bay and North
Bend.
Green estimated the land was
worth about $3,000,000,000. But
he'd be willing to settle for
$100,000,000. .
The lawyer said he thought
the' government ought to be able
to settle the thing and pay up
in short order since the land
in question was never conveyed
to the government.
If not, "We intend to apply
for seats in the United Nations,"
he warned. .
USDA Disposes of
Surplus Products
Washington (U.R) The agri
culture department reports it
disposed of 2,000,850,000 pounds

: The report shows that most of
the butter, cheese and non-fat
milk solids involved was given
away." On .New Year's day,
USDA was still holding 47,000,
000 pounds ; of surplus butter,
264,000,000 pounds of cheese,
and 3,000,000 pounds of dry
milk powder.
The cost of these support oper
ations is estimated only by fiscal
years. For the period from July,
1954, to the present, dairy sup
ports have cost $729,000,000.
Death rates in Denmark have
decreased steadily the past 15
years.
