SultS-Whether it be a water
color of a deer fighting for its
life, a deadly snake coiled to
spring or an eagle soaring
gracefully through the skies
are almost Photographic in
their detail and accuracy.
But like many persons of
unusual bent, Mr.. Weber is
not anxious to talk about his
ability or career.
He. apparently would rather
talk about the "neighborhood
kids" that swim in his creek
or how he bagged a leopard
at 80 feet in Africa or how
his pet skunk went back to
its family in the nearby woods.
1t doesn't seem to occur to
him that the walter Weber
story" is a good story In its
own right.
1t isn't far wrong to say he
came by his occupation some
what by accident. True
enough, he always could draw
and paint, but his early ambi-
tionS were to be a ZoologiSt.
AS a boy, he painted animal
and bird pictures and later
studied art. After graduating
from the University of Chi
cago in 1927, he went to the
South Seas with a Chicago
Museum expedition.
He was it's scientific illus
traitor and the die was cast
for his career.
In 1885 after more years of
work and study, he became
a Wildlife technician for the
National Park Service in the
Southwest and then came
here as it's chief illustrator.
He later was on the National
Museum staff here.

articles, but that it covers only
half Of the drawer area so
that items in the lower section
can be handled without effort.
In this instance, the drawer
is used for canned goods and
condiments, convenient next
to the stove area. Another sug-
gestion is to use the lower
section for pots and pans,
either stacked or hanging on
a pull-out rod, if that is the
storage most needed.
When used for a center cup
board, rather than one locat-
ed in a corner, the drawer can
be left open on both sides and
a frame placed around the
base so that the articles will
not tumble out.
Closed, the drawer presents
a smooth facade that ties in
with other kitchen cabinets.
If you wish to adapt this idea
in an existing kitchen, uni
fornity of design will be
maintained.

The problem Of storage Is
not only accommodating a
large number of items, but
also rendering them COM
pletely accessible. Here's an
idea that accomplishes both.
Instead of the so-usual cup
board with standard doors.
this entire cupboard operates
as a deep drawer and pulls
into the kitchen. The side
next to the wall is solid, the
opposite side open. so that
everything is within easy
reach.

Godfrey Flooded
With Well Wishes
By c. {. ButterfieId
Associated Press Staff Writer

Associated Press Stoff Writer
NEW YORK.
It will be a long time before
Arthur Godfrey gets back on
the air, but most of his fans
are wishing it wasn't so. So do I.
Godfrey is one of the rarities
in show business. His appeal
has become so nearly universal
that his name is synonymous
with radio-TV. His layoff tor
surgical treatment to his hips
brought such a flood of we'll
wishes that it has been a physi-
cal impossibility for him to read
them all.
Normally Godfrey takes an
eight weeks vacation beginning
in July. This time he will be
away from television at least
four months and radio nearly
as long, depending on the speed
of his recovery. He has indicated
he does not expect to be able
to use his legs for some time
even after that. possibly han
ding assignments from a wheel
chair.
Godfrey, whose success has
been due more to his down-to
earth personality and humor
than to the quality of his sing
ing or his ukelele playing, has
assembled staff of entertain
ers who shouldn't have too much
trouble in carrying on without
him on CHS with the help of
f1ll-in mes.
Yet, he's going to be really
missed, for there's not another
Godfrey anywhere in sight.
Meanwhile. you might like to
note his next birthday is Au-
gust 81. He will be SO then.

5 Of IS Are Rescued
In Air Crash Off Luzon
BY the Associoted Press

MANILA, July 30.-A United
States amphibious plane with Is
men aboard crashed at sea of
Luzon Island today and five sur
vivors were rescued. the United
States Navy said.
Planes and ships continued
searching the area, about so
miles off the west coast.
The plane was based at Sang
ley Point naval station on Ca
vite Island.
Two of the five survivors were
reported seriously injured and
all were suffering from shock
and exposure.
They were picked up by a
United States Coast Guard plane
from Sangley.
The plane crashed landed
shortly after radioing at 4::28
am. that it was returning to
base. The Navy said it sent no
distress call

of the possibility that given all
the best of the financial breaks
they might squeeze through to
1854 and not exceed the debt
limit. But they say the arith-
metic is all against that as of
now.
The billion debt limit
was fixed by Congress in June,
1916. Before that the limit had
been $500 billion. The most
Uncle Sam ever;owed was $279.8 8
billion in February, 1916. In
subsequent years the debt was
pared to around $3.50 billion, but
began rising again after the start
of the Korean war and the huge
outlays for defense.
Secretary Humphrey did not
bring up the question of rails
ing the debt limit earlier be-
cause Congress did not decide
finally until a few days ago
how much it would appropriate
for defense and foreign aid for
this fiscal year. In other words
Mr.. Humphrey couldn't tell what
his situation was until he was
told by Congress how much he
was to spend.

met with Mr.. Foley and Mr..
Lynch, who have a law firm to-
gether here.
At this meeting, the subcom-
mittee representatives insisted on
access to the "logS" and offered
to look them over in the Offices
of the two former officials.
This offer, it was reported,
was refused by Mr.. Foley and
Mr.. Lynch on June Is and the
next day the subcommittee, in a
formal meeting, reaf6rmed its
position. The two were given
until June 10 to accept-and
that. finally, they did.
Neither Mr.. Kean nor Mr..
Tobin would discuss in advance
the nature of the cases, or the
number, that would be taken up
in the hearings beginning Mon
day.
But from other committee
sources it was learned that pos
'sibly five cases would be con-
sidered. These cases. it was said.
would involve the issuance of
favorable rulings to taxpayers in
situations which ordinarily the
ruling would not have been IA
vorable to the taxpayer"
One of the cases, it was
learned, would involve by indi-
rection a New York political fig
ure.
In announcing the series of
hearings. expected to run three
or four days. Mr.. Kean said:
I'm May of this year, we
brought out in public hearings
two cases in which former Sec
retary of the Treasury John w.
Snyder obtained special benefits
for taxpayers. Our hearings Rext
week will deal with a number of
additional tax cases involving
undue Treasury influence"
Mr.. Kean said the suoccmmit-
tee has no plans for calling Mr..
Snyder as a witness. But he
added that if the former Secre-
tary wishes to be heard he
may be.

rowing beyond the amount set
by Congress.
That's why the Treasury peo-
pie have talked the President
into seeking a raise in the debt
ceiling even though they know
it could result in a real battle
in Congress and perhaps post
pone adjournment indefinitely.
The amount borrowed by the
Treasury to date is about $272.5
billion, already pushing hard
against the maximum set by
law. Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey has said the Govern
ment will need from SO to Sc
billion more in new money to
make ends meet until the end
of 1858. That is. he figures,
necessary expenditures will ex-
ceed income by that round num-
ber. And the only way the
needed new money can be OBJ
tanned is by borrowing it.
Cash Balance Helpful.
There is a large "kitty" called
the Treasury cash balance that
will help out in this situation,
but officials doubt that it is large
enough to keep borrowing within
present limits. This balance
is money which has come into
the Treasury from taxes and has
not been spent. A couple of days
ago there was about $8.8 billion
in it.
But like the housewife with
charge accounts coming due, the
Treasury people know there are
bills coming in to them in the
next few weeks which will cut
this cash-in-hand down to about
81 billion.
Also somewhat like the house
wife, the Treasury cannot fore
cast with accuracy just how big
the bills will be in the future.
Neither can it tell, of course,
when some unusual emergency
might arise calling for a larger
outlay of cash than was expected.
So a reasonable amount of cash
must be kept on hand to handle
these demands that can't be fore
seen. A reasonable amount" to
the Treasury is around 81 billion.
1t probably could be cut little
lower. but the Treasury wouldn't t
feel safe if it was cut much
lower.
Might Squeeze Through.
So the Treasury is sort of in
the position of the housewife
who has a husband with cham
pagne taste and a tight hold on
the pocketbook. He tells her to
see to it that the family lives
high but to spend no money
while so living. Congress has
told the Treasury to spend all
of this money, but in another
breath fixed it so the money
can't be obtained.
