ton to give up the idea of a bal
anced budget.
So, for the first time since the end
of World War III and for the second
time in peacetime history, Congress
received an Administration recon-
mendation of deficit financing and
an unbalanced budget The Eisen-
hover budget was frankly unbalanced
the day he submitted it.
In recent years under President
Truman there had been unbalanced
fiscal accounts. But these were not
by the Administration
Every time Mr.. Truman sent up a
budget to Congress, he suggested tax
increases to balance his recommended
Congress did not levy
the taxes to offset the appropriations
it voted.
The Administration asked that the
debt ceiling be- raised to 1920 billion
in the closing days of last session.
The House agreed. The Senate dis
agreed.
At the same time spending was cut
in the neighborhood of $4 billion.
IN previous columns | have discussed
his cut-and said that | thought it
vas unwise because it came mostly
,ut of national defense.
And around 81 billion in tax cuts,
'oted during the previous Admins
ration, were allowed to become eff
ective.

GI Home Loan Request
Highest In Four Years

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LDNS)-
The highest single months total of
CT home loan appraisal requests III
nearly four years was received by the
Veterans Administration during June.
VA said it received 92,919 apprais-
al requests for proposed dwelling
units and existing homes in June, the
fifth straight month an increase was
reported.
1t was the highest month since
October 1850, when appraisal re-
quests for 1874 proposed and exist
ing homes were received just before
credit curbs were invoked.

er must store his collateral safely, ac-
cording to government specifications,
much as homeowner must keep his
house in repair to protect the invest
ment of the bank which holds his
mortgage, says CONGRESSIONAL
QUARTERLY.
In 1858, farmers were guaranteed
80 per cent of parity for wheat. Prices
they actually received averaged 80
per cent of parity. One cause was
failure to qualify for support loans
by storing the wheat. Farmers with
out storage had to sell on the unsup-
ported market.
Comprehensive figures on storage
needs and capacity are not available,
but recent Agriculture Department
estimate placed the potential shortage
at $50 million to $50 bushels of ca
pacity, mainly in the corn belt and
Great plains. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson has warned that, with
average weather, 1854 production
added to all-time record carryovers
of former crops-can mean the most
serious storage problems we have
ever faced"
STORAGE FARMERS WORRY
1t is the farmers responsibility to
provide storage for his crops, either
on his farm or in commercial facili-
ties, but the government offers in
centives =
He may get Commodity Credit
Corporation loan covering up to 80
per cent of costs and payable over
four years at 4 per cent interest.
He may charge off costs in five
years, saving taxes; a pending bill
would accelerate amortization to one
year.
To encourage expansion Of COM
mercial storage facilities, the CCC
offers to reduce the risk of over
expansion by guaranteeing certain
levels of use in new facilities. Five
year tax amortization also is avail
able.
To reduce its own storage require
ments, CCC encourages farmers to
hold onto SURPRISES which it otherwise
would have to take over. The farmer
may extend loans on his 1853 crops
if he keeps them on his farm instead
Of delivering them to the CCC. Par
Elephants in this "reseal'' program are

hey hold for CCC.
CCC also has been buying and
building storage bins for its own
needs, and has stored some SURPRISES

Crop loans are the basic device for
supporting prices of storable crops.
The farmer gets loan on his wheat,
for example, equal to it's value at the
support level. His wheat is collateral.
If market prices remain below the
level, he keeps the loan and
the government takes the collateral.

Sales Taxes Lag
Behind '53 Total

Despite gains recorded in three
majer classifications, weekly sales
tax collections continue to fall be-
hind the record receipts of a year
ago. State Treasurer Roger w.
Tracey said today.
Collections for the week ending
August q, 1854, amounted to
S2,689,091. This was a decline of
S174,4O1. or 500 per cent from
the S2,S63,492 collected for the
corresponding week last year.
The three increases ranged from
S5,272 in the general department
store classification to S28,7 ,784 in
the building group, Tracy said. In
the five other claSsifications how
ever, the declines ranged from
S12,432 in the food classification
to S115,929 in the automotivc
group.
Tracy pointed out that in the
latter category, the drop in taxes
received from the sale of motor
vehicles accounted for S99647 of
the overall decline in the CLASH
fiCatiOn.

Fire Loss High
When Barn Burns

A barn on the farm of Agricul-
tural Lands, Inc, located north of
London near the intersection of
u. S. Route 40 and State Route
38 managed by Arthur Cornell,
was completely destroyed by fire
about 2:30 Tuesday afternoon.
The blaze is thought to have start
ed from sparks from the exhaust
of a tractor, according to London
firemen, who answered the call
with the Community truck driven
by Bob Stewart.
In the barn were said to be ap-
proximately 5000 bushels of oats,
1000 bales of hay and so sheep
herders.
Estimate of the loss could not
be learned.

Stewart, answered a call to the

200 Pints Needed
For Blood Bank

Last call for blood donors to
register for the visit of the Mo-
bile Unit Friday, September 3 at
the London Presbyterian Church.
Rather this is the last reminder
that the unit will be in London
from 10 to four o'clock Friday, to
receive donors.
An all-out effort is being made
in London and surrounding area
to recruit every possible donor to
help fill a quota of at least 200
pints, say Judge Maurice Z. Beat
hard, chairman of the County pro-
gram for the Red Cross and Miss
Ruth E. Armstrong, recruitment
chairman.
Registrations are always en-
couraged, but those who are not
able to make an appointment will
be most welcome, any time they
call to make a donation, officials
stated.
Can the unit go back with 200
points to the credit of the COM
munity? It's certainly worth a
try; but it's up to those who are
able to donate, says Judge Beat
hard.

Cuban Trade Big
Benefit To Ohio

WASHINGTON-Cuba, pushing
ahead with its secondary-road con-
struction program, has recently
purchased $1,30O,O00 worth of
road machinery, a substantial part
of which comes out of plants in
Ohio.
Fifteen graders were purchased
from the w. A .Riddell Co., Buoy
rus. Eighty other road machinery
units were bought from Interna-
tional Harvester, part of which
were manufactured at Information
ais plant in Springfield.
Another Ohio firm, the Huber
Co, of Marion, recently made a
substantial sale of rollers and mo-
tor graders for another Cuban
highway construction project. The
Gallon (OD Iron Works has also
been supplying Cuban contractors
with road building machinery.
These machinery sales to Cuba
from Bucyrus, Marion, Spring
field, and Galion-are striking eX-
ampleS of Cuban trade helping
create mutual prosperity for both
the United States generally and
Ohio specifically.
It required the sale of 10000
tons of raw cane sugar from Cuba
to the United States to make pos
sible the recent S1,300,000 worth
of road building machinery from
Ohio. Hundreds of employees in
the Ohio factories and in Cuba's
cane fields and crushing mills
were provided with work because
of the interchange of machinery
for sugar.
Cuba imports approximately
S1O0,OO0,000 worth of machinery
and vehicles annually from the
United States, a considerable por-
ton of it coming from Ohio's
plants.
In fact, Cuba, with but 100000
people-only three-fourths as pop
ulous as the State of Ohio-is the
sixth largest customer for Ameri-
can exports, its purchases amount
ing to about half a billion dollars
annually.

week before he was reported miss
ing, was their last communication

injured an ankle and would enter
hospital for treatment. The par
