sent the thing back-where the
effort at Tassage over the veto
failed miserably-bu he did not
abandon the farmer and the agri-
cultural economy. Instead, he
demonstrated the value of that

and the fact that it can be flexible

executive order, price supports
were boosted on wheat, corn, cot
ton, rice, peanuts and dairy pro-
ducts to level that Agriculture
Department experts estimate may
add half a billion dollars to farm
income this year.
At the same time President Eisen-

this session, separate soil bank
bill whereby farmers might be COM
pensated for removing land from
production, and including provi-
sions for advance payments to those
who have already planted for acre

BY the Associated Press

A Treasury official told q

hover administration probably
will have to ask for another
years extension of present excise
tax rates.
Dan T. Smith, ia xassistants
to Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey, also indicated that

taxes.
Mr.. Smith told a House Ways
and Means subcommittee that.
pending the determination Of
the new budget to be submitted
to Congress in January, it is too
early to offer any final recon-
mendstions on tax policy.
Questioned by Representative
Eberharter, Democrat Of Penn
sylvania. on whether he would
prefer reductions in the per-
sonal income tax OF in the retail
excise rates, Mr.. Smith replied;
II don't believe l can give
an advance blueprint, but l be-
lieve we should put the reduce
tion of personal income taxes
high up in priority"
The testimony opened a series
of hearings on possible excise
tax revision by a subcommittee
headed by Representative Fo-
rand, Democrat Of Rhode Island.

an-hour increase.
Workers Earnings Rise
The Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics also announced that despite
the rise in consumer prices, net
spendable earnings of factory
workers continued to rise and es-
tablished a new record high like
wise in october.
The average take home pay of
factory workers without depend
ants was $67s46 a week while
workers with three dependents
received $74.87. These amounts
an increase of so cents
in a month and approximately
$3.50 over the past year. Com
pared with october. 1855, the
family worker could buy is per
cent more goods and services
while the worker with no de-
pendants could buy almost 2 per
cent more.
The sharp rise in the average
prices for automobiles. which af-
fected the October index figure
so much, was due both to higher
list prices for 1857 models and
for smaller discounts as dealers
cleared their showrooms of 1856
models. Used car prices also were
up substantially.
Cars Up 1O.7 Per Cent
The rise in the prices of new
cars between September and Oc-
toher was put at 1917 per cent.
Evan Clague, Bureau of Labor
Statistics commissioner, said the
outlook is for continued firmness
on the cost Of living. He looked
for further increases in new
automobile prices and surmised
that the trend would be upward
in living costs in the next month.
He said, however, that various
factors may make the index
move downward after the first of
the year.
What effect the Suez crisis
will have on living costs remains
to be seen. he said. He added
that If there is a general oil
shortage the index may 60
higher.
He saw "firmness" but no
panicy movement in the living
cost index and no indication that
il might "blow the ton off"
