in setting Short-term credit pol

Prior TO 1888, Short-tcrm cred
ii was an Elusive thing. 1t was
readily available in boom times,
yet grossly inadequate when the
gong Was ruugn-whcn credit
was needed the most. In bad
times many lenders and merch-
ants serving rural Columbus
County not only couldn't lend
money but had TO call their
loans and accounts to meet
heavy defandS for money. This
compounded the farmers prob
lens. When farmer was forced
TO repay his loan on short no
tlce. he often suffered heavy
losses. He had TO sell crops and
livestock either before they
were ready for market or when
the market prices were depress-
ed.

DETAILS of A miniature cold

Details OF q miniature cold
war crisis that occurred in a
Los Angeles hotel room during
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
American tour were learned
today. The hour was LAS am.
and the principals were Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko and Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge, Mr.. Khrushchev's
offioial escort.
Mr.. Lodge was working on
his nightly report to President
Eisenhower when he got a tele-'
phone call from Mr.. Gromyko,
three doors down the hall. The
Foreign Minister said he wanted
to pay an official call" at
once.
A moment later Mr.. Gromyko,
accompanied by an interpreter,
arrived. quivering with indigna-
ton. He wanted to protest,
he said, the treatment that had
been accorded Mr.. Khrushchev
In Los Angeles.
He particularly objected to
the tight security precautions
and indicated he felt the Gov
eminent was trying to make
the trip a failure. Unless con-
ditions changed, he declared,
Mr.. Khrushchev would return
at once to Washington and
then to Moscow.
Mr.. Lodge soothed the irate
Russian, pointing out that the
Federal Government does not
have control over local author
tiles and that obviously 1t was
in the best interests of Presi-
dent Eisenhower as well as Of
Mr.. Khrushchev that the trip
should be a success.
Although the threat to call
the whole thing of was not
taken seriously, there was a
fear in official quarters that
Mr.. Khrushchev would be so

back to Washington that the

populace TO rise against their

officials. On the other hand,
he clearly has shown he is will

UNDERSIGNED by the fact that

isfled with much less.
The early passage in both
Senate and House Of high-cost
airport and housing bills did
not aid them in moving any
faster to the White House. Last
week they suddenly were scaled
down.
The Senate-approved bill to
provide $500 million to relieve
economically distressed areas
and a House committees bill to
provide $4.4 billion for school
construction over the next four
years have little chance Of ever
getting any further.
Reductions Called Apparent
Republicans caution that
some of the money reductions
are more apparent than real.
They contend that the re-
vamped programs still contain
provisions fundamentally con-
trary to administration policy.
They suspect the Democratic
showdown is mainly in a stop
gap and delayed-action move
Having denied all along that
they are reckless spenders" or
mere obstructionists Of admin
istration proposals. Speaker
Rayburn. Senator johnson and
House Democratic Leader Nc
Cormack refuse to concede that
the new look Is anything more
than a responsible determine
ton to make a legislative record
in the Nations best interests.
But whether or not the Re-
publican taunts got under their
skin or whether they became
convinced that some sort Of
housing and similar measures
had to be enacted by the Dem
ocrats this year. the Democratic
leadership is now advocating:
/. A S1.3 billion two-year
housing bill. This compares
with the $2.l billion four-year
measure passed by the Senate
last February. and a SIS billion
bill passed by the House. Presi-
dent Eisenhower recommended
a s1.35 billion six-year program
costing only 81 million for fiscal
1860. The Democratic "com-
promise" would cost about S24
million the first year and also
provide for $4,000 new public
housing units, which Mr.. Eli
senhower did not recommend.
Millions for AirpOrts
2. A bill giving $50 million a
year for two years in Federal
funds to States for airport inn
provements. The Senate's orig
inal bill called for sass million
over four years while the House
voted 1927 million. Mr.. Eisen-
hover recommended $500 mil

promise" would cost $50 million
the first year instead of the

Budget Cutting Scramble
Has 1860 Significance

SOS million proposed by the
administration. But the two
year total would be actually
larger because the administra-
ton recommended only SIS mill
lion for the second year. $45
million for the third and SIS
million for the fourth.
3. A housing loan program
for veterans. This compromise"
would provide 500 million for
direct housing loans in rural
areas. q provision the President
did not recommend. But 1t con-
tains the provision he favors
for increasing the interest rate
on mortgages guaranteed by the
Veterans Administration.
Democrats feel sure their new
bills are waterproof" since they
would cost little more than the
Presidents original requests
and sometimes even less. One
way this is done Is to decrease
the number Of years the pro-
gram is authorized.
Fear Presidential vetOes
House @. o. P. Leader Hal
leck says he isn't at all sure
Mr.. Eisenhower will accept
these compromises. But other
influential congressional Re-
publicans fear their party will
be placed in an untenable po-
litical position II the President
doesn't accept them.
White House disapproyal,
they say. could give Democrats
a major social" issue next
year. On the other hand, they
say presidential approval, in
addition to giving the Demo-
Gratis credit and prestige. also
could lead the Democrats to
push for expanded programs
next year.
To put their stamp on bills
asked by the President, the
Democrats often write in some
OF their own pet projects while
Keeping the overall cost rela-
lively low.
In the housing bill compro-
mise. for instance, $4,000 new
public housing units were
provided for that Mr.. Eisen-
hover did not request.
Democratic Maneuvers
With a budget surplus a
possibility. no Democrat wants
his party to get the blame for
legislation that might cause
this surplus to become a deficit.
To prevent the Republicans
from taking credit for the sur
plus, the Democrats are in
tensively looking for means to
cut not only their own early
programs, but also President
Eisenhower's.
Thus Chairman Smathers Of
the Senate's Democratic Cam
paign Committee told his
Florida constituents last night
that Congress probably would
cut Mr.. Eisenhower's budget by
SIS billion this year.
