Ike's Spending Proposals Put Him Ahead of FDR, HST Totals Lrle c. Wilson By LYLE C. WILSON United Presi Correspondent Washington (U.R) Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt was what the Broadway crowd would call a fast man with a buck. Tl, - 1 r . jr' a .ucib means uc p' 'y was a big Ki ') J FDR's fat ceaoetime spending pro grams of $7 or $8 billion and and there abouts in a single year panicked the finan cial community. President Harry S. Truman came along after that and set new spending records. And. now. President Eisenhower is spend ing at a peacetime rate which makes FDR and HST look like pikers. On the basis of estimates for the current fiscal year, the Ei senhower administration will have a four-year spending total of $267.9 billion. That is for Mr. Eisenhower's first term. He has begun his second with bud get estimates for continued big spending; in fact, record peace time spending. FDR served three full terms and spent in each of them, re spectively. S29 billion. $37 bil lion and $306 billion. Mr. Roose velt's $306 billion tops Mr. Ei senhower's first term expendi ture, but FDR's spending was largely for World War II. Mr. Roosevelt was in the red every year during his presidency. HST Also Had Deficits Mr. Truman spent $172 bil lion in the four-year term he in herited on FDR's death in April, 1945. HST was in the red more often than not. World War II spending was being tapered off then, but not much. Mr. Truman won a presidential term in his own right in the 1948 elections and he loosened the purse strings thereupon. In HST's second term, govern ment cost $223 billion, plus a considerable accumulation of de ficit spending which must be paid sometime by somebody. If Mr. Eisenhower's spending record is shadowed a bit by FDR's World War II spending, the present ad ministration has a clear spend ing lead over Mr. Truman. While he was spending that $267.9 billion, Mr. Eisenhower was a busy tax collector. Come next June 30. which is the end of the current fiscal year, and Mr. Eisenhower will have col lected approximately $263 bil lion, an enormous sum of money take of all three Roosevelt ad- ' which is not much under the tax ministrations put together. The 12-year Roosevelt take was more than $300 billion. Mr. Truman collected taxes with a heavier hand. His eight year take was more than $395 billion. Mr. Eisenhower will run his tax take up to about $526 billion in eight years unless he reduces government costs suf ficiently to make tax reductions feasible. Complaints From Humphrey Secretary of Treasury George M. Humphrey is besinnine to grumble where he can be over heard that taxes and government costs must be reduced or else. The or else, Humphrey believes, would be a devastating depres sion. Mr. Eisenhower has a quick ear for the advice of his secre tary of treasury, so maybe tax cuts are coming sometime, but not soon. The spending figures put Mr. Eisenhower right up there with the New Dealers and Fair Deal ers as a spender of other peo ples' money. There is, however, a difference. Mr. Eisenhower is no New Dealer on government deficits. He does not like to spend borrowed money and he has put considerable effort into balancing the federal budget. It is balanced now. Mr. Eisenhower has learned the hard way what others had to learn before him: That cutting government expenses is next to impossible. Few but the old tim ers around town will recall that Franklin D. Roosevelt made gov ernment economy a big issue in his first presidential campaign. He was going to reduce govern ment expenses by 25 per cent, but he never was able to make good on that. He decided, in stead, to spend the country out of depression. That did not work, either. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Prew Correspondent Aline 1oshy Startled Man Startles Cashier Seattle, Wash. (U.P A bash ful little man speaking with a slight foreign accent appeared at the Pan American Airways office here recently and inquir ed about the price of a ticket to Auckland. He seemed startled when an airline representative quoted a tourist fare of $500 or a first class rate of $650. His bewilder ment was such that the airline representative went on to ex w lf lone way to New Zealand nearly 10.000 , miles. The man sighed with re-; lief. ,J "No. no." he said.

Hollywood (U.R) Santa Anita i has "loaned" Joe Frisco the horse-playing, stuttering comedi- a n for a come back to the movies. But so far the morose Joe sees two draw backs: Early hours and strong cigars. The old-time stage and vaudeville star is a comics comic, but often a non-working one. The big stars from Bob Hope to Jack Benny break up when they're around Joe and borrow his gags, but who gives him roles? Joe hasn't worked in pictures since Bing Crosby's "Ridin' High" nine years ago. But this year will be Joe's year. He has a dramatic part in "Sweet Smell of Success." starring Burt Lan caster and Tony Curtis. He's scheduled to play himself in "The Jazz Age" and to appear in a movie on Jack Dempsey's life. Paramount is dickering for his life story. To see Joe away from the horse tracks and before the camera at Hecht-Hill-Lancaster Productions is a novelty. Cigars Too Strong "They gave me dollar cigars to smoke in this scene too strong." mourned Joe. "I asked them to g-go g-gct me 15-cent cigars. "And if I could get up at 12 o'clock this would be a wonder ful job." he said. "These hours remind me of when I was travel ing through Kansas playing nightclubs. I couldn't find a ho tel so a farmer let me sleep in his attic if I'd help him with the chores the next day. "He raps on the door. It's d-d-dark. He says, will you help me for an hour hoeing the pota toes? I say, what t-time is it? He says, 3 a.m. What, do you have to d-do, I say, sneak up on the potatoes?" Joe waved his cigar and sipped on a manhattan for lunch after his scenes. He had a brandy eggnog for breakfast, it seems. Pheasant Under Hubcaps "Not hungry. Had a big din ner last night," he explained. "I ate at the home of some rich Texan and we had pheasant un der Jaguar hubcaps." I asked Joe about his trade marks horses and stuttering. "Everybody has a habit and horses are mine," he said. "You can't beat the horses, but I love to play them. "I've stuttered since I was little. The kids at school laughed at me so my mother let me. stay home a lot." Joe, who lives alone in a Hol lywood apartment, looked seri ous a moment. But then he leap ed back to his gags. "Tune in next week and see if Pinky Lee gets out of the molasses jar," he rasped. is That So? One of the rare pleasures af forded to those of us who love animals, come winter, is the 'fine old literature that goes with our avocation. Just listen to this: The Eagle: When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of j genius; lift up thy head. William j Blake, from The Marriage of J Heaven and Hell. j The Horse: Honor lives in the manes of horses. An Arab prov erb. The As: There is no charac ter, howsoever good and fine, but it can be destroyed by ridi cule, howsoever poor and witless. Observe the ass, for instance: his character is about perfect, he is the choicest spirit among all the humbler animals, yet see what ridicule has brought him to. Instead of feeling compli mented when we are called an ass, we are left in doubt. Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson. The Owl: Owls have very ex pressive note; they hoot in a fine vocal sound, much resem bling the vox humana, and re ducible by a pitch-pipe to a musi cal key. This note seems to ex press complaceny and rivalry among the males: they use also a quick call and an horrible scream; and can snore and hiss when they mean to menace . . .

Friday, January 18, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGQfT) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Explosion Resistance Built Into Walls Chicago (U.R) Structural engineers have found that resist ance to nuclear explosions can be built into clay masonry walls. The tests were conducted by the Armour Research Founda tion of the Illinois Institute of Technology of Chicago in an eight-side structure built near Clay City, 111. The eight walls, constructed ; by the Structural Clay Products ' Co., of Geneva, 111., varied in thickness from an eight-inch wall ' of four-inch brick on four-inch i concrete brick to a 12-inch solid j brick wall. The explosion was equal to the one in "Operation Cue" in which S i atomic blast last spring in Ne vada, j Robert Taylor, director of the i Structural Clay Product Re-j search Foundation said that thei thinnest wall made of his com-; pany's product withstood the j blast as well as any of the ! thicker walls. i SAWDUST Blower Dump Push-Out Eagle Wood Co.

Use Tribune Want Ads Exotic Plants, Fish Help Curb Infection Los Angeles (U.R) Sub stances from exotic plants, fish and animals may help prevent infection in burns and open wounds, it is believed by two University of California scien tists here. Damaged tissue in burns and wounds makes it easy for bac teria to grow. Even antibiotics ofen fail to preveni such infec tions. The scientists hope to fight such infections with enzymes taken from plants and animals. Promising enzymes have been extracted from papaya, tropical fig trees and pineapple and from the tissue of tuna fish, cattle and hogs. Work on the new treatment is being done here by Dr. Seth Willard Smith. Dr. W. G. Clark of the University of California Medical School, Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Veterans Administration Center. Their studies are supported by the U.S. Army. The researchers belive that enzymes will "digest away" the damaged tissue which favors bac teria. Enzymes normally break down complicated proteins so that living matter can utilize them as, for example, in the human stomach where they as sist digestion. -a- that the owls about this village hoot in three different keys, in G flat, or F sharp, in B flat and A flat. He heard two hooting to each other, the one in A flat, the other in B flat. Query: Do these different notes proceed from different species, or only from various individuals? Gil bert White, Natural History of Selborne. The Bee: The bee Is more hon ored than other animals, not be cause she labors, but because she labors for others. St. John Chrysostom, Homilies. The Cat: Rousseau. Do you like cats? Boswell. No. Rousseau. I was sure of that. It is my test of character. There you have the, despotic instinct of men. They do not like cats because the cat is free, and will never consent to become a slave. He will do nothing to your order, as the other animals do. Boswell. Nor a chicken, either. Rosseau. A chicken would obey your orders if you could' make them intelligible to it. But a cat will understand you per fectly, and not obey them. James Boswell, Dialogue with Rous seau.

The Whale: . . . this peaking of the whale's flukes is perhaps the grandest sight to be seen in all animated nature. Out of the bottomless profundities the gigantic tail seems spasmodical ly snatching at the highest heav en. ". . . Standing at the mast head of my ship during a sunrise that crimsoned sky and sea, I once saw a large herd of whales in the east, all heading towards the sun, and for a moment vi brating in concert with peaked flukes. As it seemed to me at the time, such a grand embodi ment of adoration of the gods was never beheld, even in Persis, the home of the fire worshipers. Herman Melville, Moby Dick.
