Farm Expenses Up Half Billion Expenses for farm production in 1963 apparently are running a half a billion dollars more than the $28.2 billion Incurred In 1962, according to the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. These expenses have been going up over the years, accord ing to USDA, as farmers continue to adopt labor-saving techno logies, purchase proportionately more resources, and pay higher unit costs for production Items. Investments in machinery and equipment may Increase this year, as shipments of tractors by manufacturers, farm machinery and equipment during the first half of 1963 are sharply above last year.

CAPITOL CORNER. By Rep. Glenn Cunningham Washington, t). C (Special) The House approved spending at the rate of almost a billion dol lars an hour when ihe Space Agency authorization bill was acted upon recently. The President recommended $5.7 billion, which was cut al most half a billion dollars by the Space Committee of the House of Representatives. But the total was still nearly $2 billion more than last year. The House of Representatives had only five hours allotted for debate on this major bill. Many felt that there were too many questions left unanswered as to the judicious use of this huge sum of money. I was one who voted against this bill as an ex pression of disapproval for the too rapid build-up in this field. My vote alsp reflected the hundreds of letters which I re ceived on this subject, almost unanimous In opposing a "crash program" to reach the moon which this legislation authorizes. Official confirmation has been given to the report that Presi dent Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev have exchanged some 40 secret messages. This exchange is not without some precedent, such as that between President' Roosevelt and Prime j Minister Churchill prior to our entry Into Warld War II and dur ing the War. But exchanges of this number have been rare between leaders of opposing camps. Certainly these messages must pertain to vital matters, for why would they exchange messages about other things? Questions are being raised as to whether these are secret ne gotiations affecting the entire nation's security. It Is suggested that the public be kept Informed In at least general terms as to what Is going on in this ex change of messages. One of the financial experts in Congress Is Rep. Thomas B. Curtis of Missouri, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee which Is considering tax legislation. Curtis recently wrote some simple facts about our Federal financial status: "Spending has to be controlled so that, when we talk In terms of tax cuts, we are not talking about financing a tax cut by a new bond Issue. Such a bond is sue would mean nothing more than deferred tax Increases."
