Budget Head Soys-
Sure, Tares are Up
But So are Incomes

IT sold three heifers to
pay my county tax bill in
1894" the farmer said.
"And I sold only three to
pay this years bill.
But this year, I had some left
over" he added.
This conversation was re.
peated yesterday by County
Budget Officer Newton F. Butts
on the eve Of passage of the
1854 million 1959-60 county bud
get.
The farmers views tailed
with those of Butts: the average
county taxpayer will get more
county services for his money
this year than he did 25 years
ago.
sure, people will look at their
tax bills and say, But my tax
blIl's higher" Butts said.
"But so are their salaries and
their purchasing power" he
pointed out.
Butts, who has worked on IL
annual county budgets, puts it
this way: if the county has to
spend 81 for a certain service
for which it had to pay 81 ten
years ago, the county would be
getting more, proportionately,
than 1t did 10 years ago. And
that saving Is passed on to the
taxpayer, he said.
He attributed the more-for-less
formula to a streamlined, more
mechanical form of government

ices I've just described are bud

to agree; you get more for pro-

ed.
AS a form of comparison,
Butts said that in fiscal 1946.47,
the county had an assessable tax
base of S192 million (now it's
over 81 billion. The tax rate
that year, he said, was $3.50
(58 cents fon general county
purposes, 80 cents for schools) !.
"And what counts here" Butts
said, ''is that the ratio Of bond

For NATO:
French Woes

The echo of a strong mans voice
rang loud and clear through the
council halls of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization last week.
There the military chiefs of the
Western alliance considered a de-
mand by President Charles de
Gaulle Of France for a stronger
role in the organization. They
responded by ordering the removal
OF three fighter-bomber wings of
the United States Air Force pres
emily stationed in France to other
bases in Great Britain and Ger
many.
Their decision was not unex-
pected. It was the immediate
result of Gen. de Gaulle's insist
ence on French control of NATO
atomic arms stored within France.
American officials felt it was
necessary to move their bomberS
to bases where atomic weapons
could be stored nearby. The
United States Congress has in
sisted that all American atomic
warheadS remain within direct
control of American commanders.
The decision also served to I'M
derscore growing tension within
NATO over Frances role. Gen. de
Gaulle has refused to commit his
air force to an integrated NATO
defense force, and has demanded
equality with Great Britain and
the United States in shaping a
plan for use of nuclear weapons.

Steel Talks:
NoProgress

For a time last week it ap-
peared that the ice foe which has
chilled prospects for averting a
Nationwide steel strike might be
melting. Company and union ne
gotiators traded minor concessions
and began drafting some of the
language that would go into a new
wage contract covering 100000
steelworkers. David ]. Mcdonald,
president of the United Steelwork-
ers of America, few to Pittsburgh
for a secretive conference with
Vice President Nixon. Mr.. Nixon
held separate meeting with Ben
jamin F. Fairless, president of
the American Iron and Steel In
stitute and former chairman of
the United States Steel Corp.
The word was circulated at the
two-month-old wage negotiations
in New York that the steel COM
panies were ready to make wage
offer if the union would agree to
contract changes that would elm
mate alleged feather bedding"
practices and balance out the cost
of a pay boost.
But yesterday the negotiations
again took a gloomy turn. The
steel companies announced after
another bargaining session with
