President Seen
Wrong on U. 5.
Defense Needs

Representative Mahon, Dem
ocrat of Texas, says President
Eisenhower was horribly
wrong" in assessing the Ma
tons defense needs before the
Korean War and lis wrong
now" in handling military
spending.
Mr.. Mahon, chairman of a
House Defense Appropriations
subcommittee, yesterday said
Mr.. Eisenhower before Korea
supported a defense budget of
$l5.5 billion year. Mr.. Ma
hon said this was peanuts
compared with the amount &C
tually needed.
Representative Scott, Repub-
lican of Pennsylvania, appear
ing with Mr.. Mahon in a tele-
vision debate on MICS Ameri-
can Forum. said Mr.. Eisen-
hover. who was president of
Columbia University at the
time. was thinking of peace
time needs and not of the
larger requirements which
stemmed from the Korean War.
Mr.. Mahon said Mr.. Eisen-
hover was wrong then and he
is wrong now" in appraising de-
Tense finances. The Texas
Democrat said the President
simply doesn't have the oppor-
tunity to spend months going
over the defense budget line
by line"
Congress members handling
military funds have this OPP
pOrtunity. he said, and they
were justified in giving the
President 1913 million less for
defense this year than Mr..
Eisenhower finally requested.
Mr.. Mahon said that by
ordering the Pentagon to hold
defense spending to $38 billion
this year. even though many
more billions are available. Mr..
Eisenhower confirms" the ac-
ton of Congress.
Mr.. Scott took the position
that the cut Of 1913 million

Farm Outlook For
1857 Set Toward
Reduced Volume

This is the season of the year
when most of us do considerable
crystal-ball gazing. Most of us en-
joy a quick look backward and the
attempt to crystallize the informa-
ton cleaned into an accurate pre-
diction of things to come. After
all - the future is determined by
the course of events of the past.
Predictions, if properly evaluat-
ed. can play an important role in
helping us accurately plan the for
Incoming farm operations.
The Agriculture Department has
forecast a Slight improvement in
farmers income next year but
hold out no hope for a break in
the cost-price squeeze. The Agri-
cultural Marketing Service has
pointed out four percent increase
in net farm income during the
first nine months of this year and
said further gain is likely next
year.
The 1857 projection said the
Soil Bank program will reduce the
volume of farm products for the
market, but the farmer will show
slight gain from higher prices
and Soil Bank payments. Costs are
expected to be about the same
with higher prices offset by few
er acres in production.
Forty to forty-five million acres
might go into the Soil Bank in
1857 and thus be taken out of pro-
duction.
Reduced hog production this fall
is expected to cut meat production
in 1857, halting a five year in
crease Hog prices are likely to
be the best since 1854.
The rate of growth in cattle
numbers began to slow down in
1858. !. Z. And in the past two years
has been fairly stable. Beef pro-
duction will probably stay near the
1856 volume. It has been predict
ed that profits from cattle feeding
will be only average during the
coming year.
Consumers are likely to boost
food expenditures at about the
same rate as their income increas-
es. But, costs of marketing are
likely to continue high and only
part of the increased food expen-
ditures will go to farmers.
Prospects for 1857 are for the
total economy to grow, but at a
less rapid pace. Much of the 1857
gain will probably be in the form
of higher prices.
