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.

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.

Prices Paid Oregon
Farmers in Decline
Corvallis' (IP) National farm
prices continued their upward
trend during Aril but prices
paid Oregon farmers declined
slightly, according to Mrs. El
vera Horrell, agricultural econ
omist at Oregon State College.
Mrs. Horrell blamed the Jag
ging prices in Oregon on lower
prices paid for poultry and grains
other than wheat. Potato prices
in April, averaging less than
half those of a year ago, also
held down the Oregon index. But
Oregon farm prices are still an
average of two' per cent higher
than a year ago.
