Report from Washington By Caagreasmaa Have Martin Fourth OUtrict, Nebraaka This week the House Commit tee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce approved a bill wbteli would, if it becomes law, require ttie manufactures of TV seta to add 70 ultra high frequency chan nels. Thus, instead of receiving channels 2 through 13, as at pre sent, 70 additional channels would •J-— - ■ * have to be added. It would be a year after the bill becomes law before it would become effective; and then TV stations broadcast ing on the new channels would have to be built before it would be of any use. Price supports on milk were dropped by Secretary of Agricul ture Freeman, effective on April 1st, from $3.40 to $3.11 per hun dredweight, and the price sup port on butterfat was dropped from 60.4c to 57.2c per pound. Cause; unprecedented stocks <4 both milk and buttrrfat in stor age The House Agriculture sub committee handling the feed grain section of the farm bill approved this section by n spilt vote. II no«r goes to the full committee for action and o vote. Another section of the bill — to set aside land for recrea tlonai purposes — was rejected by the subcommittee handling this phase of the bill. The new agriculture bill should reach the Floor of the House for ac tion within the next few weeks. Continuation of the present feed grain law will be the main fea ture after the smoke clears. The receat settlement ol the steel negotiations, ui advance of the expiration of the labor oon tract, should help a sagging Scoo o»ny. Thu will allow steel pro duction to proceed uninterrupted and should help other industries to maintain a steady level ui po> daction If a strike bail taken place in the steel industry, we would have witnessed a strong demand for legislation to prohib it monopolies in the field of labor. There is strong sentiment build ing up m the United States for such legislation. The Veterans Administration has had $300 million in funds to use for housing. This money was ' IJJI I appropriated by Congress last year and has bean on hand, but, yet, the V’A issued orders last October to stop accepting town applications. When Congressman Ayers of Ohio recently smoked out this situation, an urdar went out from Washington to immedi ately begin furnishing direct toan applications to veteran# on the waiting list. Last week the House passed the Administration's new tax revis ion bill. Section 2 allows a 7% tax credit, under certain ciroimstan ces, to businesses and farmers which would reduce tax revenues to the Federal Goverenment by $1.2 billion a year. With a $7 bil lion deficit for this fiscal year staring us in the face and big spending programs being added regularly, I felt that this bill was fiscally irresponsible. I voted against this tax cut with a resul tant larger deficit. Congressional staff experts have predicted an other Federal deficit for the next fiscal year, which ends June 30, 1963, of $4.3 billion This is in contrast to the Administration’s predicted surpluss of $463 mil lion for next year. Unless Fed eral spending is curtailed sharp ly, the debt will have to be rais ed twice more within the next 15 months. There is only one an swer — stop spending! Venus News B) Mr*.
