Ike's Budget Speech Recalls Humphrey's Hair Curling' Quote Lyle C. Wilson By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (W President Eisenhower's telecast effort Tuesday night to rally the vot ers behind his spending poli cies makes it appropriate to day to give an other thought to who s a i"d whose b u dget would curl whose hair. A lot of the voters would miss that one if it were the S64, 000 question. And would they be surprised! Just for fun, ask yourself what Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey did say about a hair curling de pression back there in early January when the new Eisen hower budget had just hit Con gress between the eyes. What Humphrey actually said and the question to which he was responding went like this: Question Poised Q: Mr. Secretary . . . looking at this budget, I find that the lion's share of the increased ex penditures is for, mutual secu rity and defense. Is there any hope anywhere in the world sit uation that you can do any cut ting in defense spending- in the next few years? Humphrey: I think there is; Yes, I do. I think that there is some hope you can reduce ex penditures all along the line. I would certainly,-deplore the day that we thought we couldn't ever reduce expenditures of this terrific amount, the terrific tax take we are taking out of this country. If we don't over a long period of time, I will predict that you will have a depression that will curl your hair, be cause we are just taking too much money out of the economy that we need to make jobs that you have to have as time goes on." The point of all of this, if any, is that Humphrey did not pre dict a hair curling depression or any depression to come mere ly from adoption of the one year spending program proposed in the new budget. He was thinking years ahead. Humphrey thought then, and the President now is publicly in agreement with him, that the budget could be cut some. More- Bill Would Register Talented Legislators Columbia, S. C. W Rep. William Dobbins introduced a resolution in the state legisla ture to require legislators "haring experience in the arts of judo, 'rassling boxing and fisticuffs" to insert such infor mation in the legislative man ual. "It behooves the novice and lesser skilled members to have knowledge of such information for their protection," the reso lution said. . The resolution, prompted by a fist-fight last week between two senators was " given a quick one-two and counted out. over, Humphrey felt then and now that it should be cut. The phrase "hair curling de pression" caught public fancy and remains today about all the average voter is likely to re member of Humphrey's January budget remarks. However definitely Humph rey intended his hair curling crack to apply to the long haul future, it became attached to the immediate budget. It was on the voters' misconception that day of what Humphrey actually meant that the administration lost the budget ball. Eisenhower team play on the budget mostly has been inept and fumbling ever since. If Gen. Ike regained possession of the budget ball Tuesday night he can count himself mighty lucky. Run...

Free Oeliverj Pickin' Pears News and Notes Frcm Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH During the years that Monday evening dances have been held in the domiciliary theatre, the Camp White orchestra has al ways' been available to provide music. Recognition of this service was given by the VFW auxiliary at their May dance with the pre sentation of citations of merit to Jim Rea, retiring orchestra lead er, Estel Coffee, William Lowe, Barton Stevens, Roland Reed and Guy Vinson, members of the band. A citation also was presented to William Wolfe. This award was more than poetic justice, for Wolfe provides the coffee at refreshment time for every event on the calendar. He has been doing this for three years. Lelia Birch, department hos pital chairman, VFW auxiliary, made the presentations. Such extra attention by volun teer workers makes life interest ing for those who live a routine existence for the most part in the dimiciliary. Caesar Muzzioli is another vol unteer who brings enthusiasm to Camp White with his accordion band, and a willingness to serve, with his wide musical knowl edge, as the occasion warrants. This spirit also is seen in such a program as the dance review of children from Grants Pass, sponsored by Mrs. Ethel Mars, last Friday night. Other towns, including Ashland, Talent, Eagle Point, Rogue River and Central Point, likewise send little troup ers for the entertainment of the handicapped and disabled vet erans at Camp White.
