COP CLAIMS OF BIG
SAVING labeled nFAKEu

Republican claims of a huge 81
per cent saving in the first spending
bill were labeled by Democrats as
fake. Since the House Appropriation
Committee failed to set aside millions
Of dollars it will have, to appropriate
later, critics said the COP was making
a phony attempt to make the public
think it was effecting economies.
ITEMS LEFT OUT
More than tnree-1ourths of the
money the bill usually carries, said
Rep. Clarence Cannon (D-Mo.), top
ranking minority member Of the COM
mittee, had been left for later ac-
ton in another measure.
Alleged reductions were obtained
through such acts as refusing to ear
mark Treasury funds for the annual
government contribution to the re-
tirement fund for federal workers.
On this the Washington Post re-
marked:
'Knocked out was the entire $176,-
1879, 200 the government is supposed
to pay in the coming year to the Civil
Service and Retirement Fund, as we'll
as 1892 million in interest payment
the government owes on the fund"
MUST MEET OBLIGATIONS
Democrats said the government
must eventually meet the commit
ments, and has usually appropriated
the money annually.
The appropriation bill, it was point
ed out, also did not include as usual
the big-money agencies such as the
Tennessee Valley Authority, Atomic
Energy Commission and the Veter-
ans Administration. Normally" said
the Washington Post, "these agencies
are spared heavy cuts, and if included
in this bill would have reflected a
less dramatic savings record, Accord
ing to some critics."
Democrats also attacked the COM
mittee refusal to grant a $188 mil
lion request for stockpiling strategic
and critical materials. They said

SPRUCE Beetle Threatens States
ECONOMY, METCALF Tells Ike

est Service, Congressman and com.
munity leaders in the infested area
was summary of the problem anC
a suggested solution.
In his summary, Metcalf said the
beetle has infested more than 500 mil
lion board feet of spruce in seven
National forests in Montana and Ida
no. The beetle moved into timber
blown down by high winds in 1949
and 1850, he explained, and is threat
ening adjacent stands.
Unless the trees in the infested
area are logged off, Metcalf warn
ed, 1--WE may lose timber with a
market value up to $500 million
and suffer indirect losses which
may run much higher"
By, indirect losses, he said, he
meant losses to communities depend
ing upon timber resources for their
existence.
With logging will come other prob
lens, according to Metcalf
He said logging and milling facili-
ties in the area are adequate" to
carry out the program, already be-
gun ''well' by larger companies, but
the medium-sized and smaller OPP
orators will need financing if their
facilities are to be utilized efficient
ly.
The salvage operation would mean
that a lot of trees would be cut in
a comparatively short time, Metcalf
told the Committee, he said they must
be stored and released gradually in
order to prevent glut on the mar
ket which would depress prices.
These logs can't be stockpiled be-
cause they check, Metcalf said But
they can be stored in ponds and lakes
for an indefinite period.
'It is proposed to get these logs
out of the forest and into wet stor-
age as quickly as possible, saving and
them with present facili-
ties as fast as the market will alb
sorb the lumber" Metcalf said. "The
plan requires water storage of sew
eral millions of board feet of timber
in 1854"
In addition to financing, Met
calf said smaller operators also
would need a minor change in For
est Service regulations to take part
in the program. He said for the
duration of the salvage operation
the USFS. should defer payment
for this timber until the logs were
withdrawn from storage ponds and
lakes. Present policy requires pay
ment off the stump.

u. S. FARM PEOPLE ELECT
A BILLION DOLLAR
CLUB MEMBER

CHICAGO = (CNS) = Through
their purchases, farm people made a
new member for Americas "Billion
Dollar Club" last year. They don't
own it, and they don't control it,
but the dollars they spent for farm
machinery boosted International Har-
vester Company into the exclusive list
of Sc giant firms, each with assets
of more than 81 billion.
The "club" got five other new
members last year-a 1919 increase
in just IL months. The hot war, cold
war years since 1941 more than
doubled the "club's" membership.
The clubs roster includes "a banks
and other financial institutions, IA
insurance companies, eight oil COM
panies, six railroads, four utilities,
two auto makers, two steel firms, two
electrical good manufacturers, two
industrial chemical firms, INC, and
Sears Roebuck.
Metropolitan Life heads the list
with $11.6 billion in assets. The IL
largest club members have assets
greater than the total value of all the
lands and buildings included in the
nations "a million farms.

The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1953-05-08


(D-Mont.) has asked President Ell.
senhower to investigate the possibility
of declaring Western Montana and
Northern Idaho a disaster area SO
Federal funds would be available as
loans to medium sized and small lum-
gency program to save up to $500
million worth of timber.
Our economy is threatened by
the loss of up to $500 million worth
of timber in the Pacific Northwest
as result of the spruce bark beetle
infestation," Metcalf wrote the
President.
SIN addition to this direct loss,
there is danger of the infestation
spreading, with resultant damage to
many communities depending upon
timber resources for their existence.
There also is fire hazard"
He said the House already has
taken the first step in a multipurpose
operation aimed at salvaging timber,
stopping the beetle, eliminating the
fire hazard and maintaining the 40
year sustained yield timber program.
That step, said Metcalf, is provid-
ing SIS million for Forest Service
access roads so lumbermen can get
to the timber.
The money was included in an APP
preparation Bill passed by the House
last week. 1t represents a little more
than half the almost $40 million re-
quested for this purpose. Metcalf APP
peared on behalf of the Appripria-
ton before a House subcommittee,
which put SIS million of next years
budget request into a deficiency APP
preparation bill for this year.
The second step in the operation,
Metcalf wrote the President, is to
make loans available to the small
and medium sized operators whose
financing is not adequate to permit
them to handle job of this size.
That is, if we are to do the job eff
ficiently and economically, utiliz-
ing all the facilities in the area.
81 therefore, ask that you investi-
gate the possibility of designating
this area a disaster area, thereby
making available Federal money for
loans to these smaller operators, so
that there would be no time lost in
such a designation once Congress
provides the access roads"
