In cluded In the program was a call for reorganization of the de fense setup to bring an end to present bickering. The President also 'said he shortly would send a special message to Congress outlining more in detail his pro posals to correct the organiza tion defects in the military ser vices. Among omer tnings recom mended by the President, were a five-year extension of Recip rocal Trade Act. a $1 billion sci ence education program, greater exchange of nuclear secrets with our allies, a balan ced budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1959, a strenght ened foreign aid program, and an improved early defense warn ing system. The President left most of his legislative recommendations for his budget message, which he sent to Congress Jan. 14. His budget for fiscal 1959, called for an expenditure of $73.9 billion and it estimated receipts of $74.4 billion, which could provide a thin surplus of $500 million. The president asked Congress for $39.8 billion, well over half the budget, for the military ser vices, an increase of $1 billion over the current fiscal year. He ruled out any tax cut this year and expressed the hope that no tax rate increases would be ne cessary. He did say he favored some kind of tax relief for small business through techni cal revisions and also called for removal of unintended tax bene fits and hardships. A surprise feature was the President's portal rate proposal. He ured Congress to raise the ante in the House-passed mial rate bill by boosting out-of-town first class letter rates to five cents, while increasing local first class mail to four cents a long with the boosts proposed for air mail, second and third class. The new proposal would in crease postal revenues by about $700 million in fiscal 1959, which compares with about $526 mil lion in the House-passed rate bill. Even if this recommenda tion was acceded, "The postal deficit would still be substantial the President observed. The increase would be offset partially by a pay raise propos ed in the budget for postal en ployees plus an extra $25 mil lion the railroads are expected to get for hauling the mail. The President again asked for extended coverage of the mini mum wage-hour law to new workers, primarily retail em ployees. Taxes The House Ways and Means Committee began a month of hearings Jan. 7, on tax reform plans, with a parade of witness es calling for tax changes to help small business firms. Committee Chairman Mills(D Ark.) said he expected the hear ings, covering all topics from general tax reductions plans to such technical areas as the tax ation of corporate reorganiza tions, would provide "a great fund of information which can lead to revision of our tax laws to the ultimate benefit of all our people." He indicated that after the hearings are finished, the Committee will decide whether action is possible this year in some relatively technical areas. Some 250 persons are expected to testify. The first witness spoke in sup port of a bill, by Rep. Curtis (R., Mo.) which would waive in come taxes on up to 20 per cent of a firm's net income if it were used to exRand the capital as sets or inventory of the busines, A representative of the Ameri can Retail Federation argued that "small and medium-size re tailers have experienced consid erable difficulty in obtaining capital to finance the increased cost of capital equipment and to expand their inventories, facili ties and services as demanded by the increasing population." Larger firms, he told the Com mittee, can raise equity capital through retained earnings and issuance of new securities, but smaller firms can't issue new stocks and have practically no retained earnings. Several businessmen argued in favor of a maior tax cut, claiming that substantial cuts in individual and corporate income tax rates are needed to help the ecomomy out of its current re cession and put it back into a period of growth and expansion. They supported identical bills sponsored by Committee mem bers Sadlak R., Conn.) and Herlong iD., Fla.) which prc- Vi'Ir f.ir ;i "Tililll.il f I v i V'AV IV- duction m indivKlunl aiui cor porate income tax rates to top Improved Farm Practices Save $10 Billion If American farmers were farming now as they did in 1940, the housewife would be paying $10 billion more each year for groceries. This estimate is credited to Dr. Byron Shaw, administrator in Agricultural Research in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, states M. D. Weldon, Extension agronomist at the University of Nebraska. Back in 1940, each farm work er produced enough crops to feed himself and 11 other per sons. Today he produces enough to feed himself and nearly 20 others. This great increase in output per farm worker has been due to higher crop yields per acre, better livestock, more mec hanization and improved soil fertility. Commercial fertilizer has been a big factor in helping farmers to increase their returns per acre, per hour of work, and per dollar put into crop production. This helps cut the cost per bus hel and gives farmers a better chance for profits. At the same time it puts more meat and groceries on the counter at lower cost to the housewife. rates of 42 per cent. The indivi dual tax rate now goes all the way up to 91 per cent and the corporate rate is 52 per cent.

"In view of the serious teacher shortage, such a high rate of loss among younger teachers poses a serious problem," com mented Commissioner of Educa tion Lawrence G. Derthick. "Not only Is the country los ing a large number of qualified teachers after just a few years, but many young men and wro men who are trained to teach fail to take teaching positions." he added. Thirty per cent of those who were graduated in 1956 with qua lifications to teach did not enter the profession. Salt Lake Troject Aided Little Valley, Utah Billed as the worlds largest non-atomic explosion in history, a blast peeled more than 3,000,000 cubic yards of rock from a cliff here. The explosion of 2,138,000 pounds of dynamite and nitrate fertilizer sent clouds of dust swir ling hundreds of feet into the air. It was the fourth in a series of explosions to produce fill ma terial for a causeway being built across Great Salt Lake.

O. Steen, Game Commission director. "Most of those farmers who contacted me, "Steen said, "ex pressed the opinion that guar anteed reasonable annual in come was attractive when com pared to the risk of gambling against such hazards as hail, drouth, rust, insects, and de clining prices for their products. Steen said that a number of his visitors were older men who are beginning to think about tak ing life a little easier. This pro gram, he pointed out, is just what the doctor ordered. Primary purpose of the pro gram is to cut down on surplus farm production and to conserve the soil and its productivity. An added benefit will be the restor ation of farm game habitat. The expanded Conservation reserve program makes it pos sible for farmers in Nebraska and three other trial states to take all of their cropland out of production and rent it to fed eral government for conserva tion uses for a five to 10-year period.
