Washington—The death of Sena
tor Alter W. Barkley has deeply
saddened all of us. We had some
how grown to think of him as the
leavening force in the Senate.
Barkley
Dr. Frederick Brown Harris is
the chaplain of the Senate. I at
tended Senator Barkley’s funeral
at Foundry Methodist Church, and
was so impressed by the eloquent
and accurate tribute that Dr. Har
ris paid my late colleague at the
funeral service that I am goiii;
to quote part of it here. Dr. Har
ris said:
‘,We are vastly poorer because
his eloquent, passionate voice will
be .heard no longer in the Nation’s
councils, on its platforms, and in
its forums.
“For us there is an altered world,
since but a few hours ago he went
down in full armor with unabated
powers, having lived his strenuous
years up to the hilt.
“We think of one who with un
bowed head and unembittered heart
met life’s tragic losses, and who
found constant fun in living, and
who reveled in laughter; who loved
folk more than fortune, and who
was valiant as a knight of old i*i
righting wrongs and enthroning
justice; and who counted it as part
of his religion to help see that his
country was well governed.
“He so numbered his days, ap
plying his heart to wisdom, because
the whole world was the House of
the Lord, as echoed by thq last
phrase which fell from his lips.
“We come in gratitude to think
tenderly of one who occupied high
office and yet never stooped to low(
designs; one who was greatly hon-'
ored by his countrymen, but who
ever put principle above pedestal,
one who was a partisan with deep
convictions without blind spots.”
As one reporter wrote about the
funeral, “An onlooker, unfamiliar
with American politics, would have
found it impossible to tell whether
Senator Barkley was a Republican
or Democrat to judge from those
who moved out into the rain.”
All North Carolinians can rejoice
in the fact that this great man’s
forebears were North Carolinians.
He and I often spoke about his
connections in North Carolina.

’55 Consumption Os
Dairy Foods Up 4%
Americans consumed 411 pounds
of dairy foods per person during
1955, 4 per cent more than in
1954, it is announced.
Fluid milk consumption rose to
140 quarts per person; ice cream
and dry milk hit new all time
highs; butter added to its gains,
continuing an upward trend in
sales begun in 1953; and cheese,
cream and evaporated milk held
their own.
These facts were revealed recent
ly in the 19556 issue of “How
Americans Use Their Dairy
Foods.” a special report issued an
nually by the National Dairy Coun
cil, the non-profit, nutrition re
| search and educational agency of
the dairy industry.
Price-wise, American consumers
paid less for dairy -foods during
1954 and 1955 than at any time
since 1950, less in fact than the all
foods average. For example, while
the all-foods price index stood at
110 as compared with the 1947-49
average of 100, the dairy foods in
dex for both 1954 and 1955 was
only 106.

Armed Forces Day
! President Invites Citi
zens to Visit Military
Installations
’ President Dwight D. Eisenhower
who has proclaimed Saturday, May
19, as Armed Forces Day for 1956,
has issued an invitation tor all Amer
icans to visit military installations
holding open house during the day
i long observance.
In his proclamation, the Presi
dent said, “It is appropriate that
the Armed Forces of this nation
dedicate a special day each year to
the demonstration of their opera
tions and capabilities.”
The President urged all Ameri
cans to view the Armed Forces of
the United States engaged in tasks
which demonstrate to the world our
free way of life. He said the Arm
ed Forces “have steadfastly served
as champions of the security of our
country.”
He has also directed the Secre
tary of Defense and the Secretaries
of the Army, Navy, and Air Force
as well as the Secretary of the
Treasury on behalf of the Coast
, Guard to mark May 19 with ap
propriate ceremonies. He urged
them to arrange for demonstrations
and displays at Armed Forces in
stallations, to invite participation
by representative of all religious
faiths, and the Governors of the
States.. Territories and possessions
of the United States. ■
He further stated, “Not only do
I call upon my fellow citizens to
display thd flag of the United
States on Armed Forces day, in
manifestation of their recognition
of the sacrifice and devotion to
duty of the members of the Armed
Forces, but to avail themselves of
the opportunity to further their
knowledge of our defense posture
and of the men and women who
constitute our real national
r strength, by attending and partici
pating in the local observance of
the day.”
This Armed Forces Day will be
the seventh annual exposition of
America’s “Power for Peace.”
Some Hav Claimed
To Be Poor Quality
Livestock losses caused by
: drought-induced vitamin deficien
cies may continue through the ear
ly spring months unless livestock
producers are on guard against
them, the American Foundation for
Animal Health warns.
“Hay from drought-stricken
areas may have poor quality and
may be low in vitamin ‘A’,” the
Foundation says. “Feeding of this
low quality hay over an extended
period may result jn poor health
for stock.”
Vitamin A deficiency is especial-'
ly important in cattle, but can al
so be a problem in swine, sheep
and horses. Weak, blind calves
that often die shortly after birth,
and breeding failures, may result
from this deficiency—even though
the cows appear normal.
Cattle fed on hay or ranges low
in vitamin A may show signs of
shipping fever when shipped to
feedlots. Those signs actually are
caused by the vitamin shortage, the
Foundation reports.
Rapid breathing, swollen legs,
loss of appetite and emaciation are
symptoms of both shipping fever
and vitamin A shortage. Officials
of the Foundation point out that
because the two conditions require
different .treatment, a veterinary
diagnosis is needed to determine
the real cause.
Night blindness is another of
the first symptoms of vitamin A
deficiency. Cattle affected by this
condition canont see in dim light.
The condition may progress into
permanent blindness in young cat
tle because of damage to the optic
nerve.
“Corrective rations and proper
supplements, under veterinary
guidance, can help prevent, losses
from this cause in areas where the
drought has damaged the vitamin
content of feeds,” the Foundation
«says.

Tax Talk—An estimated $2 bil
lion surplus for the current fis
cal year, forecast by the staff of
the Joint Economic Committee, has
kicked off a new wave of tax-cut
ting talk on Capitol Hill. Republi
cans and Democrats are dusting
off their old tax reduction propos
als and coming up with new ones.
Actually, some members have in
dicated their belief that the growth
in revenues will be such as to pro
vide a surplus in the fiscal year
1956 of as much as $4 billion . . .
with an even higher surplus in the
fiscal year beginning July 1.
Most of this talk centers around
the next fiscal year—not this—and
ir. based on continuation of the
present growth in revenues.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
was still firmly opposed to tax re
duction after top Administration
officials reviewed the outlook. *
A sobering note is also being in
jected by some members of Con
gress who agree that revenues are
increasing rapidly—but point out
that expenditures are not being
held down in this election year.
For example, the House of Repre
sentatives in passing six appropri
ation bills thus far, has exceeded
the President’s January budget by
over $l2O million.
President Eisenhower has asked
for an additional SSOO million for
the military. Passage of the pos
tal rate increase—involving $350
million—-is in doubt. The S2OO mil-

Continuation of the trend toward
greater election-year spending
could quickly wipe out any pros
pective surplus and even produce
another deficit. And the optimistic
forecast of the Joint Economic
Committee staff may become an
open invitation to Congress to ap
prove new spending projects.
1.L.0. Rebuffed—The senate (43
to 40) refused to approve increas
ing the American contribution to
the International Labor Organiza
tion so long as Communist dele
gates—masquerading under the
false claim that they are repre
sentatives of free employers and
of free employees—are permitted
to sit in 1.L.0. conferences.
The Senate decision was made on
a bill which would have raised the
ceiling on 1.L.0. contributions from
$1,750,000 to $3,000,000.
Senator Bricker (R-O) offered
an amendment stating that the
ceiling should not be raised if dele
gates from the Soviet Union—or
other Communist countries are
