Donations to the 'New March of Dimes' Will Help Prevent Crippling Diseases Millions of families throughout the United States this month have re ceived March of Dimes “mailers.” If the millions on the receiv ing end of this gigantic mail operation coast-to-coast and in Hawaii and Alaska have not already done so, now is the time, to return the familiar en velope with a donation to the county March of Dimes chap ter, local leaders urged this week. The world’s largest vol untary health organization is seeking to prevent crippling diseases, with its sights set at birth defects and arthritis and at continued work in polio. These mailers, which repro duce the campaign theme, “Prevent Crippling Diseases— Please Say Yes to the New March of Dimes,” were ad dressed in great part by selfless volunteers who, by combing through telephone and other directories, were able to “spot” just about every family in their county. Addresses of new homes, not included in tele phone books, were obtained by these volunteers from real es tate boards, tax lists, from other official records, and from chambers of commerce. Hopefully, each of the 44 million families in the United States will have an opportun ity to help prevent crippling diseases by contributing to the March of Dimes between now and Jan. 31. The blue mailer contains an envelope with a pocket for a March of Dimes contribution by check or cash and with space for the donor’s name and ad dress. A brief message ad dressed to “Dear Neighbor” explains the expanded program of The National Foundation, and elsewhere on the mailer a few health figures are given— for example, that birth de fects cripple one out of every 16 babies in the United States; that arthritis and rheumatism afflict 11 million Americans; and that polio can still strike down any one of more than 85 nillion unvaccinated persons n the country.

Washington, D. C. A show down on government spending is! at hand —and members of the congressional economy bloc are sending out -urgent appeals for support in their effort to elimi nate all unessential expenditures. Activity along this line has been intensified following Mr. Eisenhower’s annual messages to Congress coupled with Presi dent Kennedy’s spending pro gram proposed thus far. Pointed support for a grass roots economy campaign—which' at the same time set up guide| posts for the Kennedy Admini-| stration—was provided in Mr. | Eisenhower’s messages sent to Congress just before the January 20 inauguration of the new I President. “It is imperative for the ex tension of economic growth at a high and sustainable rate,” Mr. Eisenhower asserted, “that the' budget be kept balanced and thatj we act responsibly in financial! matters.” Mr. Eisenhower’s fiscal/leg-i acy to the Kennedy Ac’.ninistra tion is what was described as a prospective surplus of §79 mil lion for the current year (ending next June 30) and a $1.5 billion ‘ surplus for the following year. There is considerable skepti-; erm in informed circles, how ever, about actually attaining these goals—unless an effective | drive is waged against wasteful! spending.

This is something that Congress has repeatedly refused to do. Another reason is that the Kennedy program—as announced by the President in his campaign and as detailed in the Demo cratic platform, which he sup-! ported—calls for multi-billion dollar increases in the present spending’ level. The Kennedy position is that his program can be carried out. within a balanced budget, (1) by economizing in other expendi-i tures, (2) by closing tax “loop-1 holes", and (3) by creating addC tional tax revenue from an ex panded economy which he con-| tends his policies would-'stimu-j late.

Such a fiscal situation, it is ■ added, would threaten further depletion of the nation’s gold re serves by encouraging investment abroad as a result of lessened confidence in the dollar. President Kennedy’s specific legislative proposals to Con | gress had to await his inaugura | tion. But the apprehension of ! Conservatives mounted daily fot ;ioWln g publication of big spend | ing recommendations from task ! forces appointed by Mr. Kennedy to study a variety of national | I issues. 1 For example, the task force to 1 investigate the nation’s economv advocated that gpver nme n t spending be increased, during the fiscal year starting next June 30, by between $3 billion and So billion in order to com bat what was carefully labelled as the current "recession”. Most economists agree that present economic conditions are headed for an upturn fairly early in 1961—which would be long before any government spending program could possibly have any substantial effect. Members of the economy bloc were critical, too, of some of Mr. Eisenhower’s spending recom mendations. They thought a sub stantial amount of trimming i could be done without affecting j the national security or any es-. sential program. Some of the proposals resulted from congres sional action which the admini stration had not recommended. Mr. Eisenhower proposes that government spending jump to $80.9 billion—which would set a new peacetime record during the 1962 fiscal year starting next July 1. This would represent an in- i crease from the $78.9 billion es- j timated for the present fiscal! year—and from the $76.5 billion! spent in 1960. Receipts are estimated at $82.3 ] billion —the highest in the na tion’s history—for the 1962 fiscal year. The estimate for the cur-, rent year is $79 billion compared j with $ 7.8 billion for last year, j (All the figures are rounded in billions). Conservatives object to such! consistent confirmation of the well-known economic law, de-i veloped by Professor Parkison of Great Britain, that “expenditure, rises to meet income.” The Conservatives would like! to see this additional income de voted to tax reduction and re ducing the national debt rather than to more and more govern ment spendin. Washington What Congress does—or does not do—in 1961 will be determined, to a major extent, by the outcome of the | contest between the political! skill and power of President-1 elect Kennedy and the political skill and power of the South ern Democratic-Conservative Re publican congerssional coalition. ; That contest is expected to continue throughout the session— j and beyond. It is possible that one side may be victorious on some issues and be defeated on others. But success or failure —■ or a compromise—will not come! without a battle on important I issues. Indications are that the con-1 gressional session which started on January 3 will resemble, initially—-to a considerable ex tent —the one held last August after the two national political! conventions. But there are all-important differences which could shape; the nation’s future from now on.'

House is necessary to override a| veto. , But the legislation left over* from August is only the begin ning of the far-flung program | advocated by Mr. Kennedy in the Democratic platform and during the presidential cam paign. I This program would involve additional multi billion dollar Government spending—which he maintains could be done within a balanced budget. It would bring about a vast expansion in the power of the Federal Gov-1 ernment to regulate the conduct: of business and the lives of the people. j Just what success Mr. Kenne-! dy has in obtaining congression- 1 al approval of his proposals de pends upon the reaction of Con gress. , The consensus in Washington is that he will wage an all-out battle for everything on his pro gram that he regards as possi-, ble of attainment. What is stopped will be due to the effectiveness of congres sional opposition—and not be cause of any lack of eagerness on the part of Mr. Kennedy. Major emphasis at the start of the session has been placed by: Mr. Kennedy—and his congres-1 sional leaders —on the following industry-opposed legislation left over from last August: 1. Medical aid for the elderly covered by Social Security—with an increase of one-fourth of one 1 percent in the present Social Se curity tax on both employers and employees. 2. An increase from SI.OO to $1.25 an hour in the present I minimum wage and broadening! of coverage to include several I million additional employees. 3. Federal subsidies for de pressed areas, education and housing. Mr. Kennedy has made clear that “ a good number” of other proposals will be presented to Congress by him “as time goes on.” These are expected to cover, among other things: tax revis- Get More For Ycu Corn WE ARE PAYING $1.15 FOR NO. 2 YELU)W CORN Call 2210 If You W ould Like It Hauled Set* Us For Your Seed Corn Conie By This W f eek And Get A Free Chicken Catcher.
