The &§jm®sm ®OTIL®®IK ARMS AND CHE TAXPAYER Nothing is certain irt the world ■ of national and inter national affairs, but the odds seem to favor a gradual down trend in federal defense spend ing. The Administrations’ budg et for the fiscal year starting July 1 calls for a, cut of more than $1 billion in defense ex penditures. Some analysts fore see further cuts of up to $5 billion over the next five years. The prospect of a reduction in defense spending raises a number of questions. The one t which will be discussed here is f its impact on the total federal ‘ budget and, through it, on the tax burden. It is probable the* the bulk of our citizens would elect to use any reduction in the de fense budget as the basis of further tax reduction. It is clear, however, that a vocrA and persistent group will regard the reduction in . the defense bur den as an opportunity to initi ate or expand government pro grams in non-defense areas. They will base their pleas on an Edleged need for roads, schools, parks, and welfare programs; o’n ill-effects that they can foresee for the economy if government spending is reduced; and on the i>eed to offset structural disloca tions that will accompany a re duction in defense spending. The most likely course of events is thrA the issue will L never be crystallized and de bated in clear-cut terms. There is always a collection of new * spending proposals ‘‘waiting in the wings”. Fiscal limitations may discourage their enactment art present, but they could quiet ly move on to the stage as shrinking defense expenditures make room for them. If this should happen, the result will be that, while defense expendi tures are falling, total govern ment spending will re main constant or continue to in crease, without the nation ever having made e«n explicit decis ion in favor of this course. Whether or not the problem is posed directly, however, it is certain to underly many dis cussions of our future economic growth. The nation can bear whatever burden is necessary to finance defense or other essen tial expenditures for a limited period. Nevertheless, in . the long run our economic growth end further increases in our liv WEEK-END SPECIALS ... , , • * Fresh Picnic Pork Roast 1 25« Cedar Farm Sliced Baton l 3sc Fresh Ground Hamburger • 39c ORANGE - GRAPEFRUIT PUNCH Hi-C Drink... 3 cans SI.OO NO. 303 CANS RED & WHITE Apple Sauce.... 2 cans 29c RED ft WHITE Mayonnaise........ qt. 39c SUN-SPUN 8i5cuit5........... 3 cans 25c El RED ft WHITE v , I Peanut Butter 12-oz. jar 29c I n JC M SUPER MARKET HOME OWNED HOME OPERATED I The Store Large E«&h 111 Phone 488-2317 I for Values . ..< Yet Small For Free Delivery I Enough to Feel Aalafrr- Every Day On Order?

It seems clear, then, that an effort to shift the benefits of any reduction in defense expendi tures to an expansion of non defense projects is fundrinental ly self-defeating. Temporary gains for particular areas and individuals will be made only at the expense of the country’s long-range growth. A better so lution is to reduce our present tax r;«tes, cut total government spending, and rely on the states and local communities to pro vide necessary community pub lic services. A further substantial tax re duction in this decade could do much more for the American economy than any alternative use of the funds released by declines in defense spending.

Washington The Administra tion is likely to get half a loaf here and half ia loaf there in the months Congress sits before it begins to fall to pieces under the demands of national conven tion jockeying and campaign ing back home. The President, who once stood firmly against “socialized medi cine,” now wants Medicare as a key part of his poverty pro gram. What he will get ap pears to be something different from the King-Anderson bill, if anything at all. The House Ways and Means Committee, which held hearings on the bill, is made up of more opponents than friends of the measure, and King-Anderson is. 1 unlikely to be reported out. It 1 could be introduced cm the Sen-j ate floor as an amendment,', though. Much of the opposition in the* committee stems from the , cost estimates supplied by health, education and welfare witnesses. The other witnesses agreed they were far too low. More oppo sition develops from the fact that Medicare means a tax in crease, light after another Social Security tax increase—and why move so swiftly to offset the tax cut? In some quarters, it appears i to he the belief that the elderly are more sickly in election year, So half a loaf would be in or der. Possible compromises in-1 elude expansion of the Kerr- Mills Art, which provides care for the needy etderly through state and federal funds; Medij earp, but only those over 72 could get it, or a program fi nanced through general reve-| nues and administered by Blue Cross or some private group. Whatever the hahy, it will he named Medicare. The bill to extend provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act to hundreds of thousands of workers not now covered, by, it. isn’t likely to amount to much—not even half a loaf. Rural, Southern and Western Congressmen seem strong enough to keep agricultural and logging! workers out of it. Plans to in-I elude hotel and restaurant workers have bogged down over a formula to take tips into ac count. That leaves hardly any one but laundry workers. The testimony of industry witnesses was so convincing that the penalty overtime bill won’t come out as the Admin istration dropped it into the hopper, if it comes out ‘at all. Meanwhile, the U. S. Mint an nounced that it was asking $500,000 to pay overtime be- LOT CLEARING SALE! “ “• Come on over ... Get the ear you want at the price you like”! Cheek our terms .. . UOVi down payments!
