ANNUAL ADULT FAMILY NIGHT BENEFIT CHRISTMAS CHARITY Friday - Dec. 20th Grange President - Predicts Action on Wheat By March 1 WASHINGTON (UPI) - Thcltatives of the organizations at president of the National Grange said Friday he believes there is "an excellent chance" Congress will act on wheat leg islation before March 1. Hershel Ncwsom made his prediction at a news conference after a grange-sponsored meet ing of nine big farm organiza tions. Of the nine farm groups only the American Farm Bu reau Federation was not repre sented at the two-day meeting. The Farm Bureau wound up its annual convention Thursday at Chicago. President Johnson has called a meeting of national farm lead ers for Dec. 18 to discuss wheat and cotton legislation. Meeting with Johnson and Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman will be spokesmen for the Farm Bureau, the Grange, the Nation al Farmers Union, the National Farmers Organization, the Na tional Federation of Farmers Cooperative, and the Coopera tive League of the U.S.A. Newsom, flanked by reprcsen- Tax Amendment Would Aid High Bracket Persons WASHINGTON (UPI) -About 14,000 high- bracket taxpayers stand to gain a tax break if Congress approves an amend ment to the tax bill that the treasury estimates will cut gov ernment income by $45 million. The amendment would permit taxpayers earning $50,000 or more a year to pay a maxi mum rate of 50 per cent on their incomes. The present rate is 91 per cent. But, the "simplified" system would at the same time disallow all personal deductions, such as interest, medical expenses,! charitable contributions and ; most tax credits and exclusions. The plan was approved by the Senate Finance Committee Fri day in its first major vole on I the $11.1 billion lax-cutting bill already approved by the House. The proposal was added to the House bill, and there were strong Indications it would be dropped next yenr when the hen ate voles, or, in House - henale deliberations on a compromise measure. The Treasury Department was known to be lukewarm, best, in its support of the plan The proposal specifics that single taxpayers may pay a flat 40 per cent on their first $50,000 of income, or the first $100,000 for married couples filinc a Joint return. They would pay 50 per cent on all addition al income. Irrigation District Hours Are Altered The Rogue River Valley Irri gation District office will he open part-time during the as sistant secretary's vacation period from Dec. 17 through Jan. 1, according to Secretary Manager Harold Sexton. Hours during weekdays, ex cept for legal holidays, will be from 8 a.m. to 8:30 n.m. and 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. 5 Frccwjy at Central Point. Eve SUNDAY, DECEMBER the grange-sponsored meeting said the group "commended the action ot tne House wheat sub committee in beginning new congressional hearings now leaning 10 ine immediate deve opment of a program for tho I9h4 wheat crop." Wheat growers in a referen dum May 21 turned down (he administration's wheat program for 1964. The administration pro gram was strongly opposed by the Farm Bureau. The program called for strong production and marketing controls and price supports of $2 per bushel. After an overwhelming d e f e a t by farmers, the only wheat pro gram left provided for price support of $1.25 per bushel for those who complied with their acreage allotments. Agriculture Department econ omists estimated that failure of the administration's wheat pro gram to be approved meant farm income from wheat alone would drop about $600 million. Johnson recently expressed con cern at this and directed Free man to press for strong wheat legislation. The grange-sponsored meeting issued a statement saying it strongly supports the objectives of Johnson and Freeman and "pledge our support In obtain ing early congressional approv al of wheat legislation." Nowsom said there was no unanimous agreement on the sort of wheat program that should be enacted but said there was unanimous agreement on the need for some sort of pro gram.
