Old Timers in Congress Cautioning on Stampede Toward Cut in Income Taxes By RAYMOND LAHR United Fresi Correspondent Washington (U.R) Some old-timerg in Congress are cau tioning against a stampede to ward tax reduction on the basis of "paper cuts" in the budget. These warnings are coming from men like Sens. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) and Styles Bridges (R.N.H.) and Rep. Daniel A. Reed (R-N.Y.), all charter members of the economy bloc. They are not talking against tax reduction. They are just be ing more cautious than the House Democratic leadership, which sees a good chance for passage of a tax reduction bill effective next Jan. 1 if two conditions are met. The conditions are that there must be no sign of a. down turn in federal revenue, and that Congress must take a substantial slice off President Eisenhower's 72 billion dollar budget, wai Cuti Stand Up? Any difference on how to ap proach tax reduction is largely a difference in degree. But there is a fear on the part of the more cautious members of Congress West Advised To Plan College Expansion To Handle Growing Need fte Francisco (U.R) Dr. G. 3t"er Durham, vice president atf Ve University of Utah, be 33k the West had better start fjganing right now to expand 3 colleges and universities. - $urham expressed this belief jSfatrsday night at a banquet fcqsiBg the two-day Western Re afraaal Conference on Post High SJ Education. He said the West's school pop ulation is growing fast because cf the advance of "war babies" into higher grades and because of the shift in population from east to west. 'Aralanche' Expected He and nearly" every other speaker warned that colleges and universities will be snowed under by an avalanche of stu dent applications in the next 10 years. 4 CLUB NEWS Eagle Point Sheep Club The Eagle Point Sheep club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John B.

"There must be improved planning in the West," Durham said. "It is something of a de pendent area, educationally speaking because it enrolls 20 per cent of the nations college students, but turns out less than 14 per cent of the doctorial de grees." "It is from the ranks of Ph.- D's that college teachers come.' Summarizing the sentiments of most of the speakers, Durham said that governors, at least six of whom attended the meeting, should convene state conferen ces immediately to plan for edu cational needs. Will Find Answers Tracy L. Strevay, dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sci ences at University of South ern California, predicted the west will somehow handle the floods of students expected in the .next 20 years. He said Western colleges can expect enrollments to double or triple by 1975. At the same time, he recalled that enrollments in creased five times between 1900 and 1925, doubled between 1925 and 1940 and doubled again be tween 1940 and 1955. "We found answers then and we will find them again," Stre vey said.

It was voted that each re ember should take his turn dang the reporting. W next meeting will be held at tte home of Robert Allen on (Maar 8th. Robert Allen Reporter Japan Ferry Sinks; 24 Known Dead Tokvo (U.R) A ferry boat carrying three times its normal capacity of 77 persons ran aground and capsized Friday in Japan's scenic inland sea. irsx reports said 24 persons were dead and 80 others missing. Cause of the accident was not immediately known but an un confirmed reriort said a 17-year- old boy playfully took the rud der and grounded the vessel, it turned over almost at once. It was the second major disas ter in the Inland Sea in two years. On May 11, 1955, 158 per sons were drowned and another ten persons were listed as miss ing when a government-owned ferry sank after a collision. Press reports reaching Tokyo said the 39-ton No. 5 Kitagawa Maru ran aground some three miles off the coast near Hihara, a town 40 miles northeast of Hiroshima. It was reported carrying 218 persons and an un known number of crewmen. Survivors were picked up by fishing boats and other small craft which rushed to the scene. Clouds hovered over the In land Sea Friday but the seas were reported not especially rough. The Inland Sea, desig nated a "national park," is fa mous for the beauty of the hun dreds of tiny islands which dot its normally placid and mirror like surface. that a politically-attractive tax cut may be based on cuts in ap propriations bills that will not stand up. Thus Reed. House GOP spokes man on tax legislation, said it was premature to talk about tax cuts on the basis of "paper cuts" in appropriations which may be offset later by supplemental ap propriations. Byrd and Bridges said Con gress must know how cuts in ap propriation will affect federal spending in the coming fiscal year, starting July 1, before act ing on tax reduction. In the maze of government bookkeeping, Congress is never sure when a cut in an appropriation will show up as a cut in spending. But Bridges thinks Congress can take action this year to trim S2,500,000,000 from the 72 bil lion dollar spending total for fiscal 1958, the government year that starts July 1. Then, lie said, some of the saving could be ap plied to the federal debt and some to tax rtlief. Byrd is saying he favors tax reduction if it can be done on a , budget deficit. As chairman of the Senate Finance Commit tee, he would be in a strategic position to influence the course of any tax "bill passed by the House. Earlier Estimate Seen The administration normally does not come up with new Talent Students Compete in Contest Talent National commercial competition was' completed at Talent High school early this week. Local preliminary results showed Maudalene Searcy, a senior, scoring top honors in the first year shorthand division, with seven errors out of a possi ble 760. Scoring second in this division was Gloria Quacken bush; Nylia Cooper and Char mian Tipsword tied for third. 1 Second year shorthand win ners' were Thelma Cole and Peggy Walls, tied for first, and Joann Schulz, second. Eight other girls qualified for awards in shorthand. Five first year typing students qualified, with Patricia Neifert first in that division. Second year typing was led by Priscilla Welch. The unlimited section was headed by Peggy Walls, also a shorthand winner. Contest typ ing material was a 15-minute timed writing on unfamiliar copy. Bookkeeping tests were taken by seniors Marlys Whillock and Lianis Burnette. They will be scored at contest headquarters. Official results of the national competition will be released from contest headquarters, Teaching Aids Exchange, in mid May. More than 6,000 students from all 48 states had registered for the annual event. Talent High has won several individual and school awards during the past 10 years. revenue and spending estimates until Congress has passed all ap propriations bills and adjourned for the year. Since it probably would oppose any tax reduction bill this year, it can be expected to provide some earlier estimates this year if a tax cut bill gets up any steam in the House. In January, the administration estimated federal revenue for fiscal 1953 at 873,600,000,000, leaving an indicated surplus of $1,800,000,000. . Staff experts for Congress will provide a more up-to-date esti mate next month. There have been hints this May estimate may be somewhat below the ad ministration's January forecast. If so Congress will have less lee way to work on a tax cut. Orchard Heating History Reviewed At Growers Meeting About 80 fruit growers and orchard foremen attended an or chard heating meeting Wednes day at Bigham hall, Medford. The meeting was conducted by C. B. Cordy, county horticultur al agent. W. J. (Bill) Rogers, U. S. weather bureau fruit frost fore caster, reviewed the history of fruit frost forecasting which has been conducted in this area since 1917. He complimented local growers on progress in adopt-' ing new equipment and tech niques of orchard heating. - He cited Sunday morning, April 7, as .an example of pro gress in reducing smoke inci dence. He explained that even with moderately heavy firing, the smoke in heavily populated areas was not objectionable. Thermometer Interpretation . Thermometer interpretationn was discussed as it relates to critical temperatures for blos soms and young fruit at various stages of development. Rogers suggested close study by individual growers of local conditions affecting variations in orchard temperatures. He sug gested adjusting heating . prac tices accordingly to help cut or chard heating costs. He expteined the relationship of "ceiling" to heating practices, and noted that heaters burned at too high a level not only waste fuel but tend to create updrafts which raise the ceiling above a given area. This means a greater volume of air must be heated, thereby delaying the rise in tem perature needed to protect -fruit, he said. Rogers recommended burning heaters at lower levels and placing sufficient heaters in the orchard .to handle the need for maximum use. On nights when only light fir ing is indicated, it is possible to light a portion of the heaters for adequate protection and con servation of fuel. Rogers may be contacted through the county extension office in the Jackson . county courthouse. Friday, April 12, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE House Voles To Hire Extra Clerk (or Mail Washington (U.R) The House of Representatives is a strong believer in that old Pony Express slogan: "The mail must go through." Particularly, its mail. So Thursday as Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield prepared to slash postal services across the nation because of a dearth of ready cash, the House voted to hie e an extra mail clerk Not that the House was wor ried about getting its mail on time. Summerfield had warned that unless Congress gave him $47 million by midnight Friday the drastic cuts would go into ef fect. But that wouldn't affect the congressmen. At least, not their congressional mail deliveries. Washington Postmaster Roy M. North assured everyone that despite Summerfield's cuts Con gress' mail would go through: 14 deliveries a day week days, 10 Saturdays and five Sundays and holidays.
