Gifts by Government
Threaten Farmers,
Federation Is Told
BY the Associoted Press

SEATTLE, Dec. 9.-The presi-
dent of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation today described
what he termed the get-it-from-
the -Government-for-nothing phil
osophy as IAN insidious fallacy."
Allan B. Kline criticized the
theory in a message prepared for
the annual convention of the farm
organization, as differences ap-
peared to be brewing over what
stand the federation should take
on the issue of Government sup
port of farm prices.
The stand taken by the organ
ization at last years Chicago con-
vention was that farm price sup
ports are an appropriate and nee
essary protection against unrea-
sonable price declines. It is not,
the responsibility of the
Government to guarantee profit
able prices to any economic group"
Calls 1t Infiationary.
Mr.. Kline. an Iowa farmer, ad-
the convention today:
"The philosophy that the citi-
zen can get something for nothing
by getting it from the central Gov
ernment aids and abets imitation"
He called imitation, already long
continued, dangerous path"
He warned also against price,
fixing and regimentation. always
sold to the farmers as an advan-
tage." He described them as
real threats to rising standards
of living in agriculture.
1--WE need to look very critically
indeed at these propositions
Whenever a politician says to the
farmer: Vote for me and I will
give you so-and-so.' and fails to
note there are costs involved, he
is practicing a dangerous kind of
political trickery."
Rhode Island May Join,
Mr.. Kline's message was the
highlight of the second days pro-
gra moi the convention which has
drawn close to 5000 delegates
from Al States and Puerto Rico.

Federal City Group
To Oppose Easing Of
Building Story Curbs

The Committee of 100 on the
Federal City will oppose new at
tempts next week to throw out
strong zoning restrictions on the
number of stories in buildings
limited to 10 or 130 foot heights.
The committee of the American
Planning and Civic Association,
composed of Washington civic
leaders, expressed its opposition
yesterday in a resolution, which
will be presented at a District
Zoning Commission hearing on
December Is.
Specifically, the group rejected
two proposals to come before the
commission. One would eliminate
entirely restrictions against the
number of stories permitted with
in the height limitations. The
other would permit changes from
10 to II stories in 11O-foot build
ings, and from II to 13 stories in
130-foot structures. and would
give builders credit" for space
used to house utility facilities.
Compromise on Parking.
In a slight compromise, how
ever. the committee decided build
ers should be allowed to exclude
from the story, category space used
either for off-street parking or for
such utilities as heatinggand ven
tilation.
In other actions, the group,
headed by c. Melvin Sharpe:
l. Voted 'unalterable opposi-
ton" to construction of a Poto-
mac River bridge connecting with
E street NV. between the Memo
rial and Key Bridges.
2. Unanimously approved plans
for the first slum- clearance project
in Southwest Washington, in a
76-acre area bounded by E and
I streets and Fourth and South
Capitol streets. Maj. Gen. U. S.
Grant Sd. Blair Lee and Harry S.
Wender were named to present
this view to the Commissioners
at a December II public hearing.
3 Decided to withhold support
of specific projects in the proposed
$319-million public works pro-
gram, as we'll as support of pro-
posalS to raise water taxes and
impose a new sewer tax. The
group. however. approved in
principle proposals to seek large

non-interest loan to largely A.
nance such a works. improvement
plan.
Highway Action Withheld.
The committee also withheld
action on the proposed District
highway program, after Tracy B.
Augur, head of a special housing
subcommittee, criticized aspects
of the plan.
Mr.. Augur, urban planning Of
flcer for the General Services Ad-
ministration. said he thinks a
weakness of the Districts ap-
proach is that its experts base
their estimates too much on past
experience, and not enough on
possibilities of future development.

Corning DepIores Cu'
In Funds for Schools;
Calls II Cruel Blow
House Slash to Force
Less Service to Children,
Superintendent Says
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing today declared action of the
House Appropriations Committee
in refusing money for salary in
|creases mandatory under the law
was q "cruel blow" and would be
reflected in less service to school
children.
DIR. Corning made the COM
|ment in discussing the school
budget for fiscal 1858 at his regu-
lar weekly press conference. The
committee reported out the Dis
trict budget earlier this week,
taking a big slash out of not only
school funds but the whole "rock
bottom" city budget.
The school superintendent
pointed out the House group hao
refused to allow $613,893 destined
to pay mandatory salary increases
Raises Must Be Paid.
1.-THE salary increases are re-
Iquired by law" DR.. Corning said
Although the financing was re-
moved, the increases will have to
be paid. We will have to effect
Economies within the budget
which means less service"
DR.. Corning said this meant
simply that there would have to
be less personnel, less maintenance
Iof buildings, less supplies so that
$613,893 could be saved to give
the increases.
1T seems obvious to me that
the members of the committee
could not have realized the dam
age being done by the extent of
this cut. It is much more drastic
than anything ever cut before -
he said. 1--WE don't know yet how
lit will be accomplished"
To Hit White Schools.
DR.. Corning pointed out that
since the colored schools have a
shortage of teachers, the greater
burden Of the economics would
have to be borne by the white
schools.
He said the school budget each
year is presented cut to what are
considered minimum essentials. -
That minimum budget, he con-
tinued. was cut drastically by the
Commissioners before it was sent
to Congress. The main slash by
the city heads was in construction
reduced from $12.5 million to SIS
million.
DR.. Corning said that before the
budget was sent to the Commits
sioners, $250.00O was cut from
salaries - the equivalent of SO
teacherS-from the white schools
These positions in the white
schools will be abandoned this
year and will make up partially
