vmmSDAt AFTERNOON, APRIL 15, ID# • Here's Discourse On Pigs In Washington By RAHMAN W. NICHOLS (V) Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON - HD F. Joseph Jiggs Donohue, retiring head 01. the District of- Columbia commis sioners, wishes outlanders would 1 stay out of things that concern only the nation’s capital. Jiggs was inspired to this de claration by a remark made by Rep. Sid Simpson of Illinois, chair *man of the House District Commit tee which voted against daylight time for the D. O. Simpson allowed me to quote him tftusly: “When a hog wants to wallow, without bothering to look at the a., sun or the clock." * That remark stirred up the tiger in Donohue, who is being replaced by a Republican. Made him snort, in fact. Said the commissioner: “I don’t care when the hogs wal ' Glad Tidings Troop * Ends First Month Under the' leadership of Shelton Norris, its scoutmaster, Troop 700, sponsored by the Glad Tidings Church, has Just finished its first month as a chartered unit of the Boy Scobts of America. The new troop* now consists of two patrols and is growing fast. The troop has already taken one m, overnight hike, which was enjoyed by everyone who went, in spite of the usual mishaps and mistakes which beset all green campers forgotten cooking utensils, short age of blankets, etc. Plans are now underway to profit by these mlsr takes and to do much better at the Harnett County Camporee on May Ist.

So far as I know there Isn’t a pig sty in the whole district. Here we have only dogs on the lawn, pet rabbits in the hutches and parakeets in the living room.” Donohue elaborated. He said that those Illinois hogs are not so smart, either. He was willing to give good odds that there isn’t a sow or boar or suckling pigs In the whole mid west that can look across a thou sand miles and tell what time it is , by the big clock atop the D. C. Postoffice Building. ■ “Besides, hogs have bad eyes. I used to know a pig that had to wear bifocals to find his way to ; the slop pall,” he said. Donohue will have you know that it’s the same, year after year. “Each spring,” he bellowed, “some congressional committee fid just completing the basic scoutmas ter training offered by the Harnett District Training Committee under the chairmanship of Herschel Bar bour of Dunn. Robert Willis, assistant scout master, provides the “two-deep” leadership so necessary for efficient scouting. Robert Page is chairman of the troop committee. J. L. Jack son, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Jackson, of Dunn RTO 4, is sen ior patrol leader; Gerald Frix, son of Mrs. Ruby Frix of 810 S. Wash ington Street is scout scribe. The regular Boy Scout custom . of doing at least one good turn i each day Is taken very seriously by Troop 700. At each meeting i there is a check up of that point dies around with our time. It’s gen erally the fellows who would like to see standard time in their own dis tricts who hold up the works. Representatives from farm areas, mostly. Seriously, we want to ride along with the Eastern seaboard, which has daylight time. It would be confusing if we didn’t. The commissioner pointed out that Maryland and Virginia which bound Washington both have fasti Committee Asserts Spending Can BeCut WASHINGTON OP) The Com mittee for Economic Development said tpday government spending “can and should be cut enough” so that excess profits and individual Income taxes can be reduced on schedule! Under present law, the excess profits tax .is scheduled to expire June 30, while individual Income taxes would drop about 10 per cent beginning next Jan. 1, and corpor ate levies would be reduced 10 per cent next April 1. President Eis enhower has said tax revenues should not be reduced until the budget is balanced. CED is a private non-profit ec onomic research organization. In a on “tax and ex penditure policy for 1963." the com mittee said a cut of anything more than $4,400,000,000 in former Pres ident $78,600,000,000 federal spend ing program for fiscal 1954 would be sufficient to allow some cuts in current tax rates. A spending cut of $6,600,000,000 would be enough to permit the scheduled elimination and reduct ions over the next 12 months, it said. CED based its spending reduction figure on the $6,600,000,000 “cash” for the previous week. The two organized patrols are the Flying Eagles and the Wildcats. D. C. Johnson, son of Mrs. A. E. Johnson of 8. Magnolia Ave. is patrol leader of the Eagles, Joseph Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. THE DAILY RECORD, DtTNN, N.

Folks working In the dis trict and living in one of these states wouldn’t know what time it was all summer long, he said. “Why don’t the outlanders tend to outlanders business?” he asked. “They are afraid they might lose a few farm votes, when actually the District Committee Is voting a bill which affects only our city.” budget deficit, estimated by Mr. Truman for fiscal 1954—n0t on the more familiar $9,900,000,000 “admin istrative" budget deficit he outlined. The.“cash” budget involves only actual cash payments to and from the government Which CED said “gives a better indication of the in flationary or deflationary effect of federal finances.” The administra tive budget lists payments to and from the government and those within it—such as money put into the social security trust fund, and not to be paid out for many years. Congress usually has used the “administrative” budget as a guide in balancing federal income and outgo. If present taxes were continued, the cash budget could be balanced with a $4,400,000,000 cut in the Tru man spending program, CED said. But the CED said taxes should not be cut until it is clear that the necessary economies will be ach ieved.
