House to Begin
 Hearings Looking Toward Tax Cut

WASHINGTON R = The House Ways and Means Committee, which would handle any legisla- ton for a tax cut, agreed today to begin closed hearings Thursday on the state of the economy.
 It was understood public hear ings would be conducted later if the closed hearings, and any re- commentators from President Kennedy, result in a tax-reducing bill.
 The closed hearings will contin- ue for about a week with witnesses appearing by invitation. These are expected to include spokesmen for business, labor, farm groups and government, as well as academic economists.
 The decision to hold this round of hearings behind closed doors apparently was designed to keep from unduly building up tax-eut pressure on the committee, which was described as genuinely un- committed.
 President Kennedy has said he will recommend a net income tax reduction some time in the future
 Most recent indications are that the President will make up his mind whether or not to recom- mend a quick tax cut about the middle of August.
 Considerable sentiment has built up in Congress for tax cut at this session.
 Assistant Senate Democratic Leader Hubert Humphrey says a majority of the Senate favors it.
 This was indicated by poll he conducted, Humphrey told a news man Sunday.
 Humphrey said that Congress should legislate a tax cut this ses- sion, making it effective next Jan- uary.
 He said reductions should cen ter on individuals and include an increase in exemptions for depend ents by $100 or $2O0.

SECOND HIGH-ALTITUDE PACIFIC zNUCLEAR TEST
 SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT

HONOLULU R = Unless wea- ther or technical problems inter- fere, the United States will explode it's second high altitude nuclear warhead above Johnston Island late tonight.
 The shot-one of the last of the current Pacific test series-will be much weaker than the thermo- nuclear explosion which lit up the mid-Pacific July 8. That blast was set off at height of 21O miles and was seen from Hawaii to New Zealand
 Tonight's test will be at a pro- bable altitude of 30 to 40 miles and will be in the sub-megaton range, equal to between 10000 and one million tons of TINT.

I7.5OO ACRES ARE AFIRE
 IN II BLAZES ON YUKON AND KUSKOKWIM RIVERS

ANCHORAGE lR = More than 17500 acres of tundra and timber are ablaze today in western Alas ka where 1 separate forest fires are being conbatted by combined forces of military, federal and civ 1lian agencies.
 All were ignited by lightning during the past five days.
 Of greatest concern are a 3,5O0- acre fire near Holy Cross on the Yukon River, and 1000 acre blaze near Ophir, northwest of McGrath, which are out of control.
 A total of 190 men have been dispatched to fight these two fires. This leaves only 200 personnel to combat the other nine blazes, Jim Scott, fire control officer for the Bureau of Land Management said.
 Eight of the II fires are in the Anchorage district. Hundreds of air miles separate the trouble spots, centered mainly along the Yukon and Kuskokwim river drainages.
 At present, 21 aircraft-includ- ing five helicopters are busy ferrying smokejumpers, fire fight CTS, rations, borate and other equipment ranging from bandages to radios
 Now engaged in the eoordinatec effort are Bureau of Land Man agement, Army. Air Force, Ma. tional Guard, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Fish and Wildlife Service Bureau of Public Roads and com mercial facilities.

President kennedy's Press Conference IeIeyised Live To Europe

WASHINGTON tR - President Kennedy told an -Europ- en audience on live television to- day that Il cannot report progress toward a Berlin settlement with Russia and this is a "source of concern and danger to us all
 We hope that an accord can be reached. we will continue to try to reach one, but we have not made progress recently Kennedy said
 The chief executives words were carried direct to all America and to 16 European nations, in cluding communist Yugoslavia, in an unprecedented telecast via the Telstar satellite
 The President said that the re- laying of his words by Telstar ssis another indication of the kind of world in which we live"
 He said he believes the under standing which will inevitably come from speedier communica- ton will increase the well being of all peoples.
 Kennedy said the United States will not carry out further nuclear tests once tn. current series is ended, unless an analysis of new Soviet tests shows we are "foreec to-
 He called it deplorable that ar end of nuelear tests could not be arranged.
 Kennedy was asked why the United States of all the nations in the world permit it's currency to be exchanged for gold.
 The President said the resources of gold are quite limited. But he said this country has extensively improved it's gold situation.
 We hope we can bring our pay ments into balance by the end of next year. Kennedy said
 Those who speculate against the dollar are going to lose, he said, adding that the United States isn't going to devalue it's dollar.
 Kennedy said he felt those hold ing dollars abroad have very good investment. This country, he said, is very solvent country.

STATE REJECTS ALI BIDS 70. THREE TERMINALS ON S.E. MARINE HIGHWAY

JUNEAU tP The State De- paftment of Highways said today has rejected all bids for con struction of the Wraage11, Sitka and Petersburg ferry terminal fac ilities.
 Deputy Highways Commissioner Robert E. Sharp said the work would be re-advertised, with new specifications, new completion date and a proposal which would make 1t possible for one bidder to make an offer on all three ter minals.
 Sharp said the completion date change Was the most important factor in the decision to reject all bids.
 Original plans called for the Southeast Marine Highway Sys- tenn to start operation in early September, which would have re- quired completion of the terminals by then, leaving contractors little time for their work.
 With delays encountered in con- struction of the first ferry, the marine highway system now is not expected to start operating until mid November.

FARMERS ARE GOOD
CUSTOMERS OF INDUSTRY

That the nations IamerS IN i'm
portant customers for the indus
trial segment of the economy is
shCwn ~ a recent report by the
statistical reporting service of he
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
Last year, the service reports,
farmers crossed about $40 billion
out OF which they spent nearly
SGT billion for everything they
needed 10 run their businesses.
Every year farmers spend about
SIS billion for trucks, tractors
and ether machines and equip
ment as compared to 81 billion
spent by the primary iron and
steel industry for equipment and
now plants.
Farming uses more petroleum
than any other single Industry,
the report shows, and annually
farmers spend about S3.4 billion
for fuel, lubricants and mainteu-
ance for equipment.
Farmers are also big users of
electricity and annually use some
81 billion kilOwatt hours of cleo
tricity enough TO run Balti-

FRESH FISH

Now that the fishing season is
here again, homemakers will want
to cook their husbands catch to
bring out the best flavor of the
fish.
There are many methods of
cooking fish and hundreds of reci-
pes, but all have N thing in COM
mon; dCu't overlook. Overlooked
fish is dry and seems tough. Fish
is tender TO begin with and needs
cooking only to coagulate the pro-
tein. In testing for donenesS by
appearance, the flesh of the fish
will change from translucent to
Opaque. The best method of test
ing, however, is TO remove the
fish from the heat as soon as the
fish flakes easily with a fork.
A low or moderate cooking tenn
perature is usually suggested be-
cause less watching is necessary
and low temperature insures even
heat through the thicker parts Of
the fish.
Frozen fish do not need to bt
thawed unless they are to bt
cleaned, Dreaded or stuffed. HARD
frozen fish will take slightly long
er to cook than partially thaweC
fish. Thawing is best done on th'
refrigerator shelf with the fish
still wrapped.
Fish are classified as lean
and fiat" In general, white-fleSh
ed fish are clean; varieties witt
colored flesh tend to have NOR

NEW FEED STORAGE
FACILITIES

Stopped at Waldo Pust's farm
between Crane and Savage to
view the two new HarveStore feed
storage facilities which have Just
been erected. Also had the OPP
por5unity to discuss with MIR. Pust
some of his feedlot plans which
include two complete mechanical
anger units. He says this will give
him a capacity of around 400 head
of cattle ait one time. His future
plans also call for the possible
erection of one more storage unit
for hayage storage.
This is the second complete
Harvestore mechanical feeding
system to be installed in the Low
er Yellowstone Valley during the
past year. Water Reidle of Fair
view put his system into opera
ton last fall and has fed out one
batch of cattle with it.
Feeding facilities such as the
two mentioned above are common
place in the Midwest. They allow
for completely mechanical, push
button feeding of all kinds of
feeds including the newly coined
word "haylage". Haylage is par
TALLY dried alfalfa containing APP
proXimatey 35 to so percent mois-
ture, finely chopped and stored
in an alright structure. According
to research conducted by South
Dakota State College, this makes
for minimum field losses and max
imum retention of nutrients dur
ing storage. High moisture grain
is often stored, rolled, and fed
from a sealed storage unit along
with the haylage. Haylage is
blended with high moisture feed
grain from the sealed storage
units to make a complete mixed
ration.
Farm operations are continuing
TO become more and more mech
anized and livestock feeding is nc

SAFETY IN USING


To avoid getting into trouble
wi n residues when using peSti-
cides, the only safe thing TO do
is read and follow the label di-
rect;urs on the %container.
Farmers should follow three
simple rules to be sure that a
crop will be safe for shipment.
They are: First, use a peSticide
only on a crop for which it Is rec
commended on the label; second,
use only the quantity of peSticide
called for by the label; and third,
apply the pesticide at the time
recommended ON the label.
There is also soother reason Tor

DRYLAND CROP OUTLOOK

The small grain crop is making
rapid growth, and outside of hail
damage in certain areas, the crop
prospect is indeed bright. Exten-
sive hail damage was received in
the area south of Lambert and
extending through the county to
the Savage area. A strip ranging
from four to six miles wide was
severely damaged by a combina-
ton of hail, heavy wind and rain,
With winter wheat fully headed
out and a good share Of the barley
starting to head, very little grain
in the area will have a chance
TO make a comeback. Crested
whetgraSs which was about to be
cut also suffered extensive dam
age and yield and quality of hay
will be greatly reduced. e
Outside of the area damaged by
hail, then, dryland crops gener-
ally are good and making excel
luut growth. Some of the fields,
however, that were not sprayed
will have heavy weed growth,
perhaps in some cases more than
there should be. Salfflower is off
TO a good start and in most cases
is ahead of the weeds. Corn has
been slow growing, but with
warm weather and an abundant
sub-moisture supply a fairly good
crop can be expected. AS for flax,
most of this crop was seeded la
and weeds are a problem. Some
excellent flax stands have been
reported and a few operators have
sprayed to control weeds.
AS the season progresses, we
will continue to report on CROP
conitions in the county.

FOLIAGE FOR THE HOME

FOLIAGE FOR THE HOME
Foliage and Towering plants
have become increasingly popular
as decorative features in homes,
and business offices.
The great variety of types, sizes,
shapes and textures of plants
make attractive additions to in
erior decoration.
In contemporary settings, plants
may be made the center of at
-entiUu. Large-leaved plants such
IS dieffenbachia, monsera rubber
pants, aspidistra, and philoden-
dron are especially suited TO mod
ern ecor because they are large
enough to make them a feature
in the room. Several plants of a
single variety such as geranium,
coleuS or African violet can be
massed to form a display.
Small plants such as geranium,
fern and begonia are better suit
ed to the period or traditional
settings. These plants serve as &C
cessory decorations rather than
as features. Many OF the small va
rieties are often grosped together.
When selecting plants, remem-
Der that the different styles OF
decorating car help determine the
choice.
First decide where the plant
will be located. If an individual
plant or a dish garden is to be
used on a table, chest Or desk,
select plants of low to moderate
height. When using a specimen
plant on the floor for accent,
he largest types should be used.
The trailing or climbing plants are
most attractive in shelf, wall or
hanging containers.
In using a window area, the
grouping of one kind of pant
gives an appearance of uniformity
The practice of combining many
types of plants in a single rea i;
Ofttu more distracting than decor
