Roof Blows Off Again

The Presidents 1888 billion
budget proposal is not only the
worlds all-time largest in peace or
war, but certainly the most fan
tastic. The anticipated S11.9 billion
deficit, however, falls a little be-
hind breaking the record, being
half billion below the Eisenhower
deficit of SO. AS heretofore, Chair
man Harry F. Byrd, of the Senate
Finance Committee, and the best
informed budget analyst in the ma
ton, is not impressed with the de-
ficit estimate. His own projection
is that spending will top 500 bill
lion and if the Kennedy tax cut
is voted by Congress, the deficit
will be $14 billion.
A year ago the President warned
us that deficit spending could
cause initiation Today, his fear is
of "a chronic deficit of inertia due
to inadequate economic growth,
which is apparently to be over
come by cutting taxes, paying Gov
eminent workers still more money
and hiring 36,500 more of them!
BY his own estimate, the Presidents
goal is a debt of S315,6O4, 100000.
In his message, the President re-
ported specific progress in improv
ing worker efficiency in Govern
ment bureaus: Three thousand en-
ployees now do the work of 1900
in the Veterans Bureau, single
Treasury employee now issues
nearly three times as many checks
and bonds as in 1858, another
group processes third more loans
per worker, and so it goes. Millions
have been saved, thousands of jobs
eliminated. But we need 36, 500 more
Federal workers and a share of the
S4.5 billion increase sought for the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1963-01-24

Answer: we are. Look at just a
few of the facts:
We buy wheat from our farm
ers at artificially high prices-and
sell it to the Soviets at artificially
low prices. We sell them vital ma
chine tools-on easy credit terms.
We supply the resources to con-
quer their worst African enemy,
Katanga. We force pro-Communist
governments on our allies in Laos
and pressure the Dutch into
turning West New Guinea over to
pro-Communist Sukarno
Our foreign aid arms Yugoslavia.
It enables Poland to give North
Vietnam the ammunition to kill
American soldiers in South Wet
nam. 1t built up Laos-to make it
worth the Communists trouble to
take it over.
It's our money that's building
the new African satellites, Guinea
and Ghana. Just as it was our
sugar subsidy that built up Castro.
We pay the Communists dues in
the UN-via unauthorized State
Department gifts. And we just gave
Castro S62 million worth of des-
perately-needed food and medi-
cines.
Is the picture getting clearer?
Once we understand where the
Communists are getting all their
strength, the solution becomes
obvious:
To defeat the Communists, we
don't need a Peace Corps, for
eign aid, a freedom academy, the
UN or anything else.
All we need to do is to simply
stop helping them!
Without our help, the Commu-
nists could not hold their crum-
bling empire together more than
six months.
And since we're in a life and
death struggle-in which we're re-
quired to pay $50 billion per year
for defense-why do we continue
to provide this help?
Our foreign policy should be
simple: We will conduct no business
whatsoever with any Communist
rulers. That means no foreign aid.
no American gold, no embassies in
the U. S. to use as spy centers, no
prestige from American recogni
ton. no purchase of our goods -
no help at all.
And we should tell our allies to
make a choice-either do business
with us or the Soviets-but not
both. We want no middle-men to
continue to relay our help to the
SovietS.
Such a policy would end the
threat of Communist conquest. 1t
would free billions from our de-
Tense budget to be returned to the
people to improve our living stand
ards.
Our future depends upon our
ability to do what is right and
necessary. We must recognize our
mistakes and then withdraw all
support from the Communist world
If we do, victory will certainly
be ours.-American Way Features,

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
After reading your editorial in
last weeks Republican, | decided
to make a few suggestions which
1 feel would be helpful to Garrett
County.
Salt. mud, or snow on our roads
isn't the most important problem
facing Garrett county, the major
problem that confronts the county
is the same one that has confronted
the county for years, employment.
Despite what some people say,
there are very, very few career
opportunities in Garrett county.
While the rest of our state moves
forward. we in Garrett county sit
still. Each June our two high
schools graduate some of the fin
est young people in the state, if
not the finest, and where do they
go? To Washington, Baltimore,
etc, because their county has moth
ing to offer. The same holds true
for our men and women at college
or in the armed forces. We. have
nothing to offer people who want
a real career with future. We
can do something to improve the
present condition if we want to,
and | am sure that the majority of
our people want a better future
than is possible in the county.
There are certain steps which
are necessary before real progress
can be made. First, the attitude of
the minority that has stopped new
Jobs from coming into the county
in the past, must be changed.
Second. we must promote our
county for industry We have many
advantages to offer any industry.

1t calls to mind quotation, 'The

of Indifference Perhaps Governor
Tawes thinks the mentally i'll hos

it might be placed in that category.
Or maybe it was one of the other
spirits which motivated this drastic
slash.

To the Editor, and the People of

To the Editor, and the People of
Garrett County:
In response to the "taX hike" in
this county, believe it to be the
most irresponsible piece of doing.
They hardly get set in their
chairs after saying they would try
to keep from a raise, then a week
later here it isl
l would like to see the figures
for the past four years showing
the increase in assessable basis
shown following this letter. year
by year.
Just at time when the people
are starting to show interest in
their community development,
along come the Commissioners and
dump wet blanket on their
initiative and attempts to better the
county and our summer resort.
Mr. Jones said he would explain
in next weeks paper. 1 hope he
can explain to the intelligent
people of Garrett County why
tax raise at this time.
Anyone who has an assessment
of $1,000 would have to pay an in
crease of $3.50 over what last
years taxes were What will you
pay?
With the situation in Washing
ton going broke slowly by several
billions at a time and the condi-
ton of finances in surrounding
states, why wreck the initiative
of our people when we are getting
started to help ourselves?
I would like to know what others
have to say 1t is your pocket they
are reaching into!
Respectfully,

Some of them are: a good hard
working labor force, very good
schools which are getting better
and no racial problem, to name but
a few. Third, we need civil serv-
ice commission This is a must for
our county. and something we have
needed for a long time. All en-
ployees that work for the county
and are not elected to an office
would be hired on their ability to
do the job, not on their political
pull, as we now have This would
give the public the kind of service
they are paying for and should
have, and would also give the en-
ployee the job security they need
and don't have at present.
Let's all work for a better Gar
rett county in 1868, county that
will be the pride of Maryland. 1t
can be done. let's do it.

 Midst the poinsetiaS around town are found some delightful gift sug- gestions that may help you solve that annual problem of what to give"
 Last year I was lost for an idea for family gift for friends living Outside. A sudden inspiration, and as it turned out, very good one, was the book, T Am Eskimo - Aknik my Name" It sells for only $3.95 at Kathy and Otto Schultz's shop.
 Who doesn't have a bunch of loose snapshots tucked away that they iaven't bothered to mount. There's no more mounting, paSting of corners, with the new photo al- bum at Polar Curio. It's bound with a lovely brown leatherette cover and has plastic pockets - you just slip the picture in. Eight dollars will buy this welcomed gift for any member of the family, young or old.

Currency Swap
Policy Appears
To Halt Upsets

NEW YORK (AP). - Elk
change Of currency among
nations seems to be effective
in stabilizing temporary up
sets in the foreign exchange
markets, a study showed to-
day.
Federal Reserve officials said
cumulative drawings of cur
rencies under exchange agree
ments with 10 foreign central
banks totaled 1918 million by
tie end of August.
The practice was established
10 months ago. It amounts to
bilateral agreements between
the United States and other
countries for an exchange of
currency on request.
Customarily, a swap origi-
mates when one natien needs
the currency of another to take
its own excessive supplies off
the foreign exchange market.
On August / repayments
totaled 1915 million.
TIE Federal Reserve report,
written by Charles A. CoombS,
vice president Of the Federal
Reserve Bank Of New York,
was the third issued on the
program.
It showed the Federal Re-
serves net debtor position was
$73 million, compared with
SOS million last February.
Reserve officials saw the re-
port as weakening the cases
for new international currency
systems since the casual swap
agreements seemed to be serv-
ing well.
