Civil Benefits
Spending Higher
Than During 1954
. New York - (I'Pll - A study
by Tax Foundation, Inc., on
I e d e r a 1 domestic spending
programs in a 16 year span
said that direct government
spending benefitting business
was estimated at 307 per cent
more in 1962 than in 1954.
The figures were contained
in a review on the growth of
govern m e n t spending pro
grams. It said budget spend
ing for all civil benefits will
total an estimated $26 bil
lion in fiscal 1963, up 126
per cent from 1964.
Private Organiiation
Tax Foundation, Inc., is a
private non-profit organiza
tion which is engaged on gov
ernment spending and tax
ation. It says its purpose is
to aid in developing a more
efficient government at less
cost to the citizen and tax-
It estimated direct expendi
tures benefiting business at
9 7R hillions in 1962, com
pared with $679 millions in ;
1954. It broke these down into ,
four major categories. Fori
1962, these were air transpor- j
tation, 718 million; water .
transportation, $645 million;
postal service, S853 million;
and all other, $545 million.
The study said that the ex- !
penditures classified under
commerce covered "activities
of general assistance to busi- j
ness, such as air and water j
transnnrtation. airport con-
struction, highways, and the
costs of the post office de
partment not covered by pos
tal receipts. Small business
receives specific aids in ad
dition to general benefits."
Trust Fund Excluded
It specified that the funds
listed as of benefit to business
did not include expenditures
from the federal highway
trust fund, which was estab
lished July 1, 1957, to cover
federal highway aid to the
states. Continuation of high
way aids in the budget, the
Tax Foundation said, would
have put 1962 expenditures
at $5.9 billion rather than
$2.9 billion; eliminating them
from the budget in earlier
years would make the $2.9
billion for 1962 companies to
an expenditure of $697 mil
lion for 1954.
Housewives Save
Money By Using
Convenience Food
Washington - (UP11 - An Ag
riculture department study
shows that the housewife
saves money by using some
of the convenience foods.
These are foods that undergo,
prior to retailing, some prepa
ration ordinarily done in the
home.
Some of the convenience
foods that are cheaper than j
comparable home prepared
items are concentrated orange
Juice, canned chicken chow
mein, instant coffee, frozen
lima beans, canned orange
juice, spaghetti, cherries, and
devil's food cake mix.
Total Bill Smaller
Department researchers
said that of 158 items studied,
42 were less expensive and I
116 were more expensive
than their home - prepared
counterparts. The department 1
said the typical housewife
buys enough of the money
saving items so that her total :
food bill is smaller than if
she bought only fresh items
to be prepared in her own ,
kitchen.
The study showed that for
each $100 spent in grocery
stores for food. $14.03 was
spent for convenience foods.
About two-thirds of the con
venience items in the study
were bought in very small ;
amounts. Less than 5 cents
per $10 was spent for each
of 102 of the items such as
grapefruit sections, canned
rice, crabmeat, raspberries,
and chicken fricassee.
