Senators Seek Quick Passage
OF Disputed Tax Overhaul Bill

return - a $1.4oO, 100000 annual
tax reduction. But he lost 5O-33 aft.
er Sen. Millikin tR-Colo), the ad-
ministration leader on the bill, raj
Lied all but two Republicans pres
ent against it and got help from
nine Democrats.
The only major administration.
sought provision which has been
mauled in the Senate is the one to
give relief b stockholders on ,divi-
dend income.
Millikin himself dropped out part
Of this section, in the face Of Dem
ocratic attacks on it as a rich
mans benefit. Sen. Edwin C. John.
son (D-Colo) then eliminated an
other major portion Yesterday with
an amendment adopted 6l-13.
As this provision was approved
in the House, it would give ex-
emption on $50 Of dividend income
and permit the taxpayer to deduct
S per cent on his dividend income
above $50 from his tax in the first
year Of the bill. In the future
years, the exclusion would be 500
and the credit 10 per cent.
But as whitfield down in two DAYS
Of Senate voting, only the exemp-
ton of $50 remained. The admins
tration, however, will get q chance
to restore at least part Of the
House benefit in conference.
The Senate last night rejected
6O-2O an attempt by Sen. Morse
(Ind-Ore) to knock out Of the bill
its biggest revenue.losing section
the accelerated depreciation fea-
ture for corporations and individ-
ualS.
1t also reversed an earlier de-
cision and knocked out of the bill
a section giving single persons who
are heads Of families the benefit
of full income-splitting new en-.
joyed by married couples.
But the House voted this provi.
sion, and senators who wanted it
in the bill got an understanding
that the Senate conferees would
look favorably on giving the benefit
at least to those in low-incoine
brackets.

UncleSaln Is
In The Red AS
Anticipated

WASHINGTON R-July /:
First day of q new fiscal year for
the government and it looks like
Uncle Sam wound up the old year
IN the red by about 3N billion
dollars that had been predicted.
However, the deficit for the fis-
cal year ended Wednesday may
be a little smaller than previously
estimated. Revenues evidently
were lower than anticipated, but
cuts in government spending went
deeper than previously predicted.
The government begins its fiscal
or business years on July / and
closes its books annually on June
80. The year beginning now is
fiscal 1855, for which President
Eisenhower has predicted a deficit
next June 80 Of about s. ,s2s, 000, 600.
In his budget message of last
January giving revised estimates
tor the fiscal year just ended, Eli.
senhOwer NEGLECTED that fiscal 1854
spending would total about so, 9O2,-
100000 and net receipts would
come to approximately $67, 629, OOO,-
600. That would leave a deficit Of
about 3N billions.
The treasury will not have final.
complete figures on the fiscal year
until about July 10. However, it
Appeared Thursday that fiscal "a
receipts would total about "a 3/4
billion dollars, or approximately
IA billions under President Eisen-
hower'S January estimate. It ap-
peared also that spending would
come to about 67N billion dollars,
or about 3 billion dollars less than
the January estimate.
The government appears to have
wound up fiscal 1854 with a debt
Of about 40 billions. This leaves
the Treasury borrowing authority
ct about five billion. However, the
Treasury has said it will need to
borrow approximately 10 billion
during the next six months, when
tax receipts are low.
The Treasury is expected soon
after the end of the fiscal year
to renew its request, stymied in the
Senate last year, for an increase
in the z7s@billion legal debt ceiling.

PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mex. Up -
Emilio Sandoval sat slumped in a
straight-backed chair III the door
way of his ruined hotel. He rubbed
the three-day stubble of black and
gray on his jaw and glanced back
at the bare room, at the warped
boards cluttering the stone floor,
at the five-fot water mark On the
walls.
"You will forgive me, please, if
I don't get up" he said.
His clenched fist made circular
motion over the pit of his stomach.
81 am upset by this" he said.
81 have a bad feeling in here"
Monday night Sandoval had been
hurrying to clear the lobby of his
hotel before flood waters moved
in. He was trapped in the hotel
when the rising water took a sud-
den surge.
81 never thought to see it hap
pen," he said. Nothing like it ever
happened before - to see the wa
ter racing down that street"
That is why Sandoval is like
most of the living and the dead
in PiedraS Negras - they never
thought to see it happen.
Now the border sun bakes the
caked mud in the streets and SHIN
mers off the foul waters still stand
ing in many places. There is no
water system left in the town of
some $4,000 across the Rio Grande
from Eagle Pass. Children squat
and scoop water out of the streets
to quench their thirst, and old
women bending double to wash
their clothing in the pools bring it
up coated with slime.
Across the border south Texans
have gathered up donations of food
and a helicopter assigned to the
Red Cross by Gary Air Force Base,
San Marcos, Tex, brings it across,
trip after trip. But the only distri-
button system is to pile the food

ators, a marathon session behind

holiday ahead, gathered for a quick
push to final passage today OF the
administrations disputed tax over

Leaders on both sides predicted

Several senators said they
Planned to vote against the giant
tx revision measure on final pas
age. But its approval, pretty much
il the form sought by President
Eisenhower, seemed assured.
Members were saddened by the

midnight last night.
Butler was the second-ranking

A Letter From
BILL LANTArF
Dear Neighbor:

Dear Neighbor:
On June 22nd the GI.Rill Of
Rights observed its tenth ami
versary. When the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt signed this
bill into law in 1914, he said, this
law gives emphatic notice to the
men and women of our armed
forces that the American people
do not intend to let them down."
The GI-Bill was designed to help
veterans in their readjustment to
civilian life. 1t contained three ma.
jor benefits, ~ guaranteed loans
for homes, farms and businesses;
(2) education and training; and
(3) readjustment allowances for
periods of unemployment. The
first benefit is still in effect while
the second is drawing to an end
and the third has been concluded.
Through the GI-Bill, American
World War II veterans have be-
come the most educated group Of
people in the history Of the United
States. Because of their training,
the veterans have raised their in
come level to the point where they
are now paying an extra billion
dollars a year in income taxes. At
this rate, the GI-Bill trained vet
Grams alone will pay off the entire
SIS billion cost Of the CT educa-
ton and training program within
the next Is years.
Americas veterans, with the
help of CT loans, have become the
largest single group Of hometown
ers in the United States. They pay
more real estate taxes to States,
cities, and counties than any group
of equal size. During the past
decade, $500, 900 one out Of
every five men and women who
served in World War II - obtain
ed VA-guaralteed and insured
loans valued at $23.s billion. Ninety
per cent Of these loans were for
homes. The record reveals that
ESQ, 900 CT loans, amounting to s.
billion, have been repaid in full.
Defaulted loans on which the VA
has made good the guaranteed
portions to private lenders num-
Der less than one per cent Of all
veterans loans.
More than 1890, 900 veterans -
half of all who served during the
war-were trained and educated
under the GI-Bill in the last ten
years. The majority of veterans
attended schools below college
level, while great numbers went
to college and universities, took
on-the- job training, and enrolled in
institutional on-farm training. In
cluded in the below college group
were 10000 veterans who were
given the chance to learn to read
and write in accelerated grade
school classes for adults.
The GI-Bill has raised both the
educational and income levels of
veterans, as well as those Of the
nation. The average male veteran
today has completed high school
and had some college, while the
average non-veteran male Of the
same age group has been able to
finish little more than two, years
of high school. In 1S43, the average
income for male veterans, be-
tween the age 1854, was less than
the non-veteran male. By 1888 the
average income Of male veterans
rose 81 per cent while the non.

Forcing is the florists word
for making plant flower out of

same With all bulbs. Bulbs deve-
lop even in storage, and take

they are ready to grow When

roots. since top growth without
good roots is weak. and seldom

NOR LONG TIME, people have recognized
Il that Ford is the Worth More" car And
they have been expressing their preference
in great and growing volume of purchases.
The reason is simple. More and more people
have found in Ford everything they want
and need They have found that Ford offers
exterior beauty that has set the trend for
the industry d. interiors that are SO colorful
and in such good taste that just sitting in
a Ford is fun.
If you're IN the market for any new car,
you'll be missing something if you don't
come in and vahe-check a Ford point by
point. And when you Test Drive Ford and
find ont what brilliant performer it is, you'll
really understand why Ford is Americas

plants which kill sheep and other
animals such as rhododendron, lau-
rel, and hemlock. Speed 80 m.p.h.,
jump 8 #. high, 80 feet horizontal.
MANAGEMENT: Much controver-
sy among public as to what deer
eat. In Spring and Summer they
nip the tender buds and leaves of
grasses, lie gumes, vines, wild
flowers and trees. In the Fall,
store away layers of fat for coming
cold and gorge on acorns and other
mast. In Winter, subsist on what is
at hand; pick and nibble on twigs,
needles, buds, catkins and other
native vegetation. Nearly all
native grasses are heavily utilized.
Food patch paintings of common
grains, grasses and legumes within
woodlands and establishing large
refugees have been effective in
building the population in Mary
land and at the same time helping
farmers protect crops against deer
damage. Screw-worm and botfiy
infestation may take a greater
yearly toll than is generally
realized.
VALUE: A most valuable game
animal providing sport, flesh, hide,
and trophies of high grade. About
1900 or more killed annually in
Maryland; record weight-232 lbs,
killed in Kent County.
