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

33k the West had better start

- $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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.
