HOUSE VS. PRESIDENT ON ECONOMY BUDGET
The economy wav< which has swept Congress, and the nation, is
producing cuts m tm Pr. >:dent's budget, the largest ever to be sub
mitted to Congress during peacetime We believe that the budget
is going to be cut a.id ma: it should be
Howev-r :r. ■: the Administration — on political grounds
—it should bi rcmen-bi red that this Administration is now com
pleting it» second year .-t operating in the black While it may be
propos rt d to 'pt nd r. ir.-nev than is wise, it cannot be denied
that the Admin.'tr.>t.. n has lived within its budget in the last two
years and prop. ses t. do - - next year
This is a:, aehu-vi .•.erf - : which the Administration can be proud,
even thougn it m.gn: be argued that the Administration is attempt
ing to spend too mu.h. in the coming fiscal year Generally speak
ing. when tne Government operates m the black, it is a sign of at
least a safe economy which helps to produce a stabilizing influ
ence in the nation and makes for a stronger currency abroad.
Therefore, if Congress cuts the budget —as seems inevitable —
and reduces spending for the coming fiscal year, the Administration
will probably operate well in the black and wind up fiscal 1958
with a surplus of several billion dollars Depending upon the ex
tent of this surplus .s a possible tax cut. perhaps retroactive to
January 1<: 1958 When we say this, we assume that this session of
Congress will vote the tax cut. and there is a chance that it will
be retroactive to the first of next year
There is still some hope that a tax cut may be voted at this ses
sion Prominent Democrats have gone on record as saying they
are in saver of it However, it must be remembered that the Presi
dent has a veto power and will probably use it if he does not think
the tax cut wise at this time Mr Eisenhower has indicated that he
does not think the Administration is operating solidly enough in
the black to permit the tax cut. now. and thus a veto would be like
ly Therefore, it seems that a successful tax cut bill will not come
along until next year

CONGRESS HITS HARD AT EISENHOWER BUDGET
The House of Representatives recently dealt President Eisen
hower and the Administration another sharp blow on the budget
when it approved a defense bill calling for expenditures two and a
half billion dollars less than the President had requested
This action came in the last days of May. right after the Presi
dent had appealed to the people of the nation in several speeches
Moreover. President Eisenhower sent his secretary of Defense and
Secretary of State to Congress, where they made appeals for the
restoration of defense fund cuts
Despite the efforts of the Administration, the House defeated
by almost 100 votes a Republican-sponsored move to send the re
duced bill back to committee This removed the last stumbling
block in the way of passage of reduced expenditures, and the
House then passed the bill which whacked about two billion dollars
off the Defense Department s 1958 appropriation.
Unless the Senate is inclined to increase such measures more than
one suspects. Congress seems to be ready to reduce President Eisen
bower s budget by several billion dollars There have beer, reports
that the reductions were unimportant, and were not reductions in
actual spending In some cases, this is correct
However, when Congress lops off two and a half billion dollars
in requested appropriations for the Defense Department, whether
they be for this year or next. Congress has at least refused a re
quest for two and a half billion dollars And we suspect that Con
gress will manage to save enough money in this session to make
a tax cut possible in the second session of the Eighty-Fifth Con
gress.
FARMERS RETIRE ON SOCIAL SECURITY
One of the unrealized costs of the money squeeze on the farm is
the recent trend of farmers to retire From the Social Security Ad
ministration comes word that self-employed farmers are retiring
four times as fast as the administration estimated in 1954
The claims, it seems, really started rolling in in April. 1956. when
farmers could first qualify under an amendment to the Old Age
and Survivors’ Insurance bill, by showing net earnings of S4OO for
1955
In that year 1956. claims totaled S 160.000 Then, in 1956. Congress
passed another amendment which allowed coverage to include their
share-croppers, an amendment which is somewhat controversial.
In 1957 400.000 claims have been filed by farmers or their widows
Obviously if farming were more prosperous than it is today, fewer
claims would be filed This is another cost of our relative farm re
cession

FARMERS BUILD PONDS IN CONSERVATION MOVE
The Department of Agriculture reveals that U. S. farmers built
87.430 new ponds in 1956 The total is a record for any one year.
Also encouraging is the report from the Department of Agri
from the Soil Conservation Service since that service was first
offered The average size of these ponds is from one to two acres
each
Americans interested in conservation and in other farm manage
ment fields will find this news encouraging. Most of these small
ponds were developed to aid in soil conservation, to supply water
for livestock, for fire protection, irrigation, for fish management
and the improvement of wild life habitats
The States which have taken great advantage of the soil Conser
vation Service's aid in this category are Kentucky, where 64.318
qpnds have been built and Mississippi, with 56.187 ponds, among
others.
The Soil Conservation Service says that most of the ponds have
been built in the Southeast, the Northeast and the Midwest.

The world is heavily populated with individuals who would
do ‘great things if they had fine positions or plenty of money
However, the world has very few men or women who are striving
to do the little things in life in a manner that befits the doing of
the greater things
There Is much talk today, for example, about the value of
family life What do the average father and mother, in this day,
do for the benefit of family life? For that matter, what contri
buttons does the young son. or the young daughter, feel impelled to
make in developing a happy family circle that, in too many cir
cumataocea. is but a theory?
Happy family life is a cooperative affair. It does not depend
on father or mother, or son or daughter, alone. Unless all work
for the common good, to be as unselfish as possible, then there
can be no completely happy family circle. But It is worth think
tat about and working for. What are you going to do about it?

Comment On
SPORTS
By Pete Fritchie
The big question in the American
Ix-ague is whether the Chicago
White Sox will fold again this
year as they have in past sea
sons. Al Lopez, who won 111
games in 1954 with Cleveland to
set a record, isn’t acting like he's
expecting to collapse at any time
in the near future.
But the record indicates the
Sox will weaken Will they defy
the record and fool the baseball
world and win a rags-to-riches
victory? Could be The writer
can't see it and because that
sentiment has been expresed in
the past several years, sharp re
actions have been received
Nevertheless, we stick to it.
Il would be a good thing if the
Sox did win. It would be good for
the American U-ague and base
bail And on the credit side, the
Sox have speed, gusto, defense
and great pitching. Their weak
neas is supposed to be hitting
enough. Their chances improve
with each day —as long as they
stay hot.
The ankecs are not going to
roll over and play dead. Bobby
Shantz has been the savior so far
but the pitching is there. The
hitting should be. Cleveland and

in the campaign that follows, the
Democrats will have to lead with
their best to win.
Mr. Eisenhower does not in-1
tend to sit idly by and let the
conservative-nationalist wing of
his party take over when he ।
steps down. He does not wish to ,
go down in history as a popular |
military leader who was used by
the Republicans, his policies dis
carded after he was no longer
available to draw votes.
On the contrary, the President
thinks the future of the Republi-1
can party is in following the pro
gressive Republicanism which
he has espoused. And to that end
he is prepared to fight it out
from now on through the elec
tion campaign of 1960.
The President and many other
Republicans feel that many
Americans are overlooking the
accomplishment of the Adminis
tration in balancing the budget,
in the furor over spending which
has been raised since he pro
posed a record break, g spend
ing program for the givernment
in fiscal 1958
Even though the proposed bud
budget is high, it is true that the
President has put the govern
ment ledger in the black for the
la«t couple of years and pros
p< i-ts ire that it will remain in
the black in fiscal 1953. even
.: the full budget, as proposed,
•ere accepted in Congress —
■ .ueh I* not going to be the case
So the President can tell the
voters that even though some of
them fee! he seeks to spend too
much, they should remember
that this Administration is in the
black and has been there for sev
eral year'
The controversy over radio
active fall-out is to get hotter
Too many scientists are speaking
out against further hydrogen
bomb tests to allow any allaying
<>f fear' which are building up
among many citizens.
New evidence, or evidence lent
substantial support, shows that
1 some danger might exist from
the tests and continuation of
them That is one reason the 1 Ad
ministration is probably pushing
harder for a disarmament and
nuclear test agreement with the
Russians
Detroit, '■upposed to lx* contend
ers. are strong enough to cause
trouble —as arc the Bed Sox
And both Baltimore and Kansas
City are tough enough to affect
। the race So an upset coul be
। produced by a number of things,
taken together.
Detroit has as much talent in
its first nine as any team in the
league and if the hitters were as
hungry as Chicago's, the Tigers
could be right up there Jack
' Tighe ran t seem to get his hit-
Urs going Boston is doing bet
ter than some thought. Witht ight
pitching the Sox might wind up
in the first division again. Cleve
land has done well considering
they have been without Herb
Score for a long time. So then
are many possibilities in the Jun
ior League.
Look for a two or three team
race in September. The Yankees
will be in it. Either Cleveland.
Detroit or Boston will probably
be in it too. At some point along
the way some team is going to
knock off the White Sox three or
four straight —as the Yankees
did early in the season. If the Sox
slump, several teams will be
ready to take up the slack. And
we think they” experience a let
down in July or August. The hit
ters on that team can't .stay as
hot as they are right now and
some of the other teams In the
league arc going to start hitting
before the end of the race, tor
sure.
