Va—When high \rater blocked access to the scene of an accident, a railroad locomo tive served H an ambulance and brbugM Fred Wolford, 32, to the Williamson yards, where he was transferred by ambulance to a hos pital for aurgery. Washington Neva Washington—Former President Herbert Hoover's recent warning —that Vnoraaslug inflation threat ens the nation's prosperity—was taken to hart by many lawmaker* in the national capital. Mr. Hoo ver's words on the subject of a now depression were ominous. He said the current inflation showed signs of a depression "agony" which beset bis admtaistrstton 27 years ago. Hoover said tig federal budgets, if continued, would bring or. a depression. He apparently was re ferring to U>e 1958 fiscal budget proposed by the Eisenhower Ad »— »-A. tl ' l -t ft, n ■■ md m . i a# vninuucuuu, wnicii aecmary 01 the TreMUry George Humphrey lambasted initally. Thereafter, he clammed up ea the subject But Hoover explained why huge federal budgets and very high taxes would bring on a depression, and he should know something about depressions. Heavy spend ing by the government makes high taxes meeasary, he said, and both these factors contribute to (he move toward highter prices. This trend fbtces small businesses to sell to larger businesses, in some cases, and invaribaly reduces pri vate investment which provides new jobs and more efficient lower Colts. Hoover alio pointed out federal spending was much larger than budget estimates reveal, since esti mates do not include the opera tion of huge pension and trust funds and indirect spending, "rtie former President ssid total feder al, state and local operations ctst the taxpayer! $103,000,000,000 a year. These taxes tske so much front earnings, in many cases, he believes, that savings are unable to finance the needs of a growing population and economy. Hoover warned that it Was too difficult, under the preeeat tax structure, to begifi a new business, and said the Communists would be the great gainers should this country experience another severe depression, as the Reds have saM we would. He also warned that only a limited number of public works projects could be built by the government and that cititens will have to re alii* as much. Of all his statements, the one which Impressed Washington ob servers most was his clear warning that signs of a coming depression were apparent Congress will prob ably be more econoinj-mnidecl as s result of the ex-President's warn ing. And chances are good that the 88th Congress will pass a law requiring government agencies and departments to return all monies which are unspent at the end of appropriated for the fiscal year that time. , -, ' The civil rights battle, an an nual, Washington affair, is erupt ing |n both the Senate and House this year. On the House side the controversial Eisenhower civil rights program is being pushed by government officials from Attor ney General Herbert Browndl on down the line. The subcommittee bearing the testimony is stacked and does not include even one Southerner. Naturally, Southerners arc bit leriy protesting A* situation arid claiming tat the present House effort la a purely political show tor the votea of various group* They also claim Out the Eisen hower program, which would al low the federal govrrnmint to come into atatea and arrest people n varioua civil rights infringe men is would do violence to all the long- accepted doctorine* concern ing the powers reserved to the tutes But proponents of the program, tnctodbig BniWMil, aay the pro gram would not violate the rights of the states and would allow the Justice Department to ae« that all ciUseat had full freedom and rights to vote and live their lives under equal treatment and pro tection of the lawa. While proponents sensed almost tore victory in the House, they are concerned ever 'a possible Senate filibuater. In the upper legislative body, Minority Leader William Knowland has set March 1st as the deadline for considera tion of a civil rights program. Whether a filibuster and a fight over cloture will greet thia effort dependa on whether Knowland and other Senators can get some Southerners to join them in a constitutional civil rights ap proach. It is in the Senate, as usual, that the crucial, decisive battle will be fought.
