Washington “lf Uncle Sam
is 'going back into uniform, as
Mr. Kennedy indicated, he will
have to decide whether it will
be a Santa Claus suit or mili
tary khaki.” j
“Uncle Sam cannot be a
soldier with a knapsack t>n his
back and a Santa Claus with
a gift sack on his back, all at
the same time.” j
These two quotations the
first from the Republican Con
gressional Committee and the
second from Rep. Brown (R-
Ohio) —point up colorfully the
controversy that is increasing in
intensity on Capitol Hill.
The dispute is over Mr. Ken
nedy’s request to Congress to
boost defense expenditures by
$3,454,000,000 without at the
same time making specific rec
ommendations for elimination of
unessential military and nonde
fense spending. |
The controversy could have
fag-reaching repercussions in
many directions on the legisla
tive program considered by Con-

Many members of Congress
! agree with the solution pro
posed by Senator Butler (R
--■ Md.):
“The President,” he said, “has
promised to submit a balanced
budget next January. But why
j wait? Why not work today to
balance the budget by reducing
non-essential spending?
“If the nation is to tighten its
belt in the years ahead to meet
the challenges of the Soviet
thrust, then it seems only fair
, that the Administration go on
a bureaucratic diet and eliminate
from its menu erpendable, non
defense programs and projects.”
Members of the congressional
economy bloc, who like every
! one else support whatever spend
ing is necessary for national de
fense, contend that, with the
government having a $3,900,000,-
000 deficit during the fiscal year
just ended and confronted with
a deficit estimated at between
five and ten billion dollars next
year, Mr. Kennedy should:
1. Abandon his costly program'
for federal subsidies for school
construction and teachers’ sal
aries, which could be handled!
better and more economically at
the state and local level than
Iby government bureaucrats in
Washington.
2. Withdraw or modify the
portions of his tax program |

I have a rather good backlog
of quotable quotes which I wish !
to share with you. These have
been gleaned from various and !
sundry sources and are thought
provoking to say the least.
' “In 1960 the farmer received
j only 39 cents of tnt- dollar spent l
by the consumer for food, com
pared to s'. cents he received in i
1947.”
“Most people of the world |
spend naif their income for 1
food. People in the U. S. seen* |
only 21 per cent of their in I
icmc for food in 1959.’
Think about the following
two quotes and see if you cat.
suggest a solution:

producer in our economy with

5. Hold down on farm aid ex

world crisis is expected by many
to increase the market for farm
products and thereby contribute
to agriculture prosperity.
6. Recommend trimming in ev

Congress to provide funds fori
the present fiscal year.
Foreign Aid Expenditures
The foreign aid legislation be
fore the Senate would, in the
opinion of Senator Byrd (D-Va.),
authorize the expenditure of
$11,600,000,000. in the current fis
cal year and—if continued at the
same rate —would cost $36,600,-
000,000 over the next five years.
This would be in addition to
the $90,800,000,000 spent by the
United States for foreign aid
from the end of World War II
through June 30, 1961.
These figures were emphasiz
ed in a speech to the Senate by
| Sen. Byrd in opposing the Ken

“Polluted ' .air poisons many
plants in the United Stales, .de
stroying the older leaves first
and gradually killing the entire
plant.” This problem is becom
ing more serious each year and
is being:, studied in several cri
tical areas. Air. .pollution may
be causing oilier “physiological”
disturbances in plants which
were first thought to be path
ogenic.
And. speaking of leaf troubles,
you have no doubt noticed a
rash of leaf spotting on oaks
this spang. Chewing insects
are responsible for one condi
tion and a fungus (Actinopelte)
for the other. You can tell the
difference if you carefully ex
amine the leaves.
The control of these insects
and the disease would require
the early application of sprays
employing the use of expensive
equipment. Right now the
troubles are more disfiguring
tnan seriour. However, persist
ent attacks in succeeding years
could reduce the leaf efficiency
to such an extent that control
j programs would be necessary.
j Health For Ail
When You Feel Fine
| During the first three months
j of this year, 1,580 people walked
I mto the Manhattan division of
1 the New York City Department
: of Health to be screened for
diabetes. None of them had
1 any reason to think they had
diabetes. They had responded
to an intensive “come in and be
tested” campaign. The tests
lound 70 people with diabetes,
five people with not-quite-right
sugar metabolism who might be
come diabetic in time, 16 border
line cases who should be regu
larly checked, and 35 with ab
,*.d. ...ai findings whose illness
has not yet been positively diag
nosed. Altogether, 126 people
had something wrong in just
one area of health and didn't
know it.
Most people wait until , they
have some alarming symptom
before going to a doctor. It’s
far smarter to have a check-up
while you’re still feeling fine.
Many illnesses: which can be
cured or controled easiy in the
eary stages give no symptoms at
first. .You can have high . blood
pressure, diabetes, tuberculosis
without knowing it. If these
hidden illnesses are ignored, they
can result in death or disability.
If they are found and lreated
early, they may be no problem
at all.
And when there’s nothing
wrong, it’s a wonderful feeling
to get the doctor’s, “Everything's
OK!” So be smart and get a
complete physical check-up ev
ery year.
