YOUR BATTLE

Courageous men in Congress
are fighting your battle for budg-
cit and tax reduction. Newly
elected Senator Lausche oppoS-
ed a SIS million Federal appro-
priation for Pan American
games to be held in Cleveland
in 1859, saying: "The Federal
budget must be cut. I cannot
support for Ohio something that
I would oppose in another State"
Cleveland is the biggest city
in the Senator's home state.
There has been a prairie fire
of protest mail from men and
women in all walks Of life, de-
manding heavy cuts in the budg-
ct followed by tax reduction.
But, pressures for spending by
minority groups, seeking hand
outs from the Treasury, are ter
rifle.
The people themselves Will
have to curb their own demands
for public spending if they ever
hope to reduce the burden OF
crushing taxation.

FACING THE FACTS
w. A. Robinson


The Memorial Hospital Drive
should remind us. to take a look
at our health future. Have you
noticed who fares worst when
it comes to health needs and
health costs? If you will take
a look at the obvious, you will
see something that should shock
you into immediate action. Who
is it that gets it hopelessly "in
the neck" when the lightning
Of serious illness strikes? When
your doctor says you must have
an operation, or the school
nurse says your child must have
tonsilS out or be fitted for glas-
seS, or when there is need for
a blood TRANSMISSION to pull you
through, you can get these
things If you are very rich or
poor enough to be on relief.
BUT if you are unfortunate
enough to be earning fair liv-
ing and buying a home and able
to give the daughter or son
music lessons the least you are
in for is serious embarrassment
and the worst is a long, long
term Of financial involvement
that may cause you to lose that
house that you are so proud OF
and will certainly end all but
the bare necessities for you and
your family for several years.
Fortunately, we don't have to
stand constantly on the brick
of disaster; there is way out
for us. We can get health and
Decentralization insurance and
blood bank insurance. It costs
something but it is worth every
cent if you have the good judg-
ment to get the right kind. Hos
pitalization insurance is becom-
ing popular and many compa-
nies are offering bargains" that
are worse than no insurance at
all because they give you a false
sense of security. If you don't
know about these things, call a
hospital and ask the business
office. You don't even have to
give your name. The blood bank
insurance is so cheap it will
surprise you. Illness can come
and come suddenly and it costs
so little relatively to be prepar-
ed. Get that policy right away!
That really isn't all you need.
You could have the insurance
and still find that there is no
bed in any hospital for you. 1t
happens every day. That is why
Memorial Hospital is putting on
a drive for funds to add more
beds. A great many people, who
can afford to go to any hospital
any where and pay for the most
elaborate accommodations, pre-
fer Memorial Hospital because
it is the kind of humanitarian
institution it is, but Memorial
is a place where the people on
the south-side feel possessive.
We feel at home there as we
do nowhere else and there is
good reason for that. Some Ne
gro groups have contributed to

of general interest.
WASHINGTON - Nation wide
protests rolling in on Congress
against high taxes - accompa-
MED by threats of a "tax revolt"
have made a deep impression
in Washington.
An immediate result is a
scramble for political advantage
that would come from lowering
the onerous burden of federal
taxation. This contest centerS in
Congress.
There is sentiment in Com
gress to enact a tax cut bill be-
fore adjournment of the present
session-effective next Jan. l.
This sentiment is found chiefly
in the House. Senators talk more
of a tax cut bill next year.
CONGRESSIONAL SENTI-
MENT-Members Of the House
especially sensitive to public
say that their mail demand
ing tax reduction now equals
that urging the slashing of Pres
ident Eisenhower'S $71.8 billion
budget.
Speaker Rayburn, after a
meeting with Democratic men,
bers of the tax-originating House
Ways and Means Committee,
said that while chances for tax
cuts appeared good, Democrats
will not make a decision until
"around June" on whether they
will try to push through a bill
this year to take effect next
January /. Mr.. Rayburn added
that Democrats are not going
to be irresponsible"
Rep. Reed R-N.Y0, ranking
Republican on the Ways and
Means Committee, called pro-
misses of tax reduction vague
and premature" While convinc-
ed that Clover taxes are essen
tial," Mr.. Reed added that such
reduction "can be realized only
to the extent that reduced gov
ernment spending makes it pos
sible or to the extent that such
tax reduction compelS a con-
comitant spending reduction.
A cautious attitue towards tax
cuts is also evident in the Sen
ate. Sen. Byrd (D-VaD, chair
man of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, wants first to see the END
result of budget-cutting efforts,
which now total aout 81 billion.
He indicated that So to 81 bill
lion would have to be cut if tax
reduction talk is to be translated
into action. Sen. Bridges (R-N.
H., ranking Republican on the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee. takes much the same view.
Should the Democrats try to
push through tax reduction, 1t
is almost certain that it would
be either a $10O increase In the
present $500 personal exnption;
the old discredited $40 tax cred
it: or a split in the first $2,OOO
bracket, with lower rate, PROB
ably 10 per cent, instead OF the
present 20 per cent, applying
to the first $1,000.
Republican strategy as to the
exact form of tax reduction to
be supported, should the Demo-
Gratis open such a drive later
in the session, is not quite clear.

consideration of drought dis

three States.
The announcement he will

to Secretary of Agriculture
Benson was made by Gov. STAN
ley yesterday after he conferred
with several Virginia agricul-
