its history there have been AS
failures among insured banks,
most OF them in the agency's
first eight years when the
banking industry was pulling
out Of the depression. Up to
1900 banks folded annually
during the late l920s and early
l930s prior to its establishment.
Mr.. Cooke said that Con-
gresS will probably be asked
this year to increase the in
surance limit on individual &C
counts to $4,000. The present
maximum is $4,000.
In commenting on the per-
feet year Just past, the chair
man listed as contributing fac
tors more progressive bank
management, better services to
the public and increasing eff
ficiency OF supervision" by
regulatory authorities. Deposi-
tor confidence, created by de-
post insurance, was also a
fundamental factor, he added.
Since 1943 failures among
insured banks have never ex-
ceeded five in any year. There
have been four years with this
many, the last in 1861.
Mr.. Cooke said the FDIC had
discussed a total of $359.7 mil
lion in aiding depositorS in the
AS banks that closed. An esti-
mated 1898 million will be re-
covered, leaving a net loss of
SPIT million to the corporation
on insurance transactions.

he finds is hardly what the
Kremlin claimed.
For instance, Mr.. Khru-
shchev frequently boasts that
the Soviet Union spends only
about is per cent Of its budget
on defense while the United
States spends more than half
OF its budget on defense. The
budgets are not comparable
because the Soviet budget is
the only budget in Russia and
includes all that would be in
our State, city and village

equivalent OF what we spend on
private education and OF what
our industry spends on mod

Mr.. Khrushchev's claim is
nonsense 10 begin with, there

hide their military spending by
splitting up the outlays among
other sectors OF their economy.
Much Of the science. education
and propaganda spending will
be for military needs, and this

"A good part OF the 26 per cent
earmarked for industy spending
also will be for military needs
industry spending includes sub
sides for defense plants. Most
OF the scientists paid by the
government are working on
military projects"
Finally, the Soviet budget in
cludes a category marked "se-
cret." which accounts for 8 per
cent Of all spending. Here is
where spending for rockets, H.
bombs and military hardware is

lion acres, the same as In 1862.
A mo" vote would mean about
65 million acres in production.
On production, a Eyes" vote
would mean about IL billion
bushels, while a mo" vote
would mean production of about
is billion bushels, or about 300
million bushels more than need
ed. On income, a Eyes" vote
would mean a gross wheat in
come of 1913 to $2.4 billion. A
mo" vote would produce gross
wheat income some $7O0 million
less, or about SIG billion for
1864. Gross incomes on typical
farms would be reduced on the
same proportion, and net in
comes WOULD be cut sharply.
The Secretary also has point
ed out that the vote on wheat
referendum has international
implications, and the fact that
there could be some 300 million
bushels of wheat without a
home in 1864 is a cause of
grave concern among our world
allies, an Asses spokesman said.

tuberculosis
Cases Rise
During Year

X-ray surveys of the Mont
gomery County tuberculosis
and Heart Association detected
SO new, active cases of tubercu-
losis in 1862, according to the
annual report of the associa-
ton.
The total represented a sharp
increase over 1861, when the
number of new cases dropped to
69 from the "a reported in the
preceding year. For unexplain-
ed reasons, representative of
the association said, the num-
Der of cases has varied sharply
from year to year.
Altogether the association
provided 28,541 x-rays during
the year-15,893 in its regular
community program and 12,648
during surveys conducted at
business and industrial estab-
lishments. All were provided
without charge in accordance
with the association program.
In addition to the tubercu-
losis, the x-ray program turned
up Alb suspected heart condi.
tons and 20 suspected cancer
cases, the report said.
Along with its regular x-ray
program, the association pro-
vided 1888 tuberculin skin tests,
from which 1899 reacted posi-.
lively. Immediate x-rays are
recommended in all positive
cases.
During the year the local
association cooperated with the
National tuberculosis Associa-
ton and the America Thoracic
Society in an intensive public
education campaign to alert the
population to dangers from
respiratory diseases, fourth
among all major causes of
death. Along with tuberculosis,
they include emphysema, chron-
ic bronchitis, fungus infections
and cancer.

Mrs. Kathleen Summa
operator of Noah's Ark, an
animal placement agency, is
in trouble with the law.
The Bethesda housewife, who
founded the animal adoption
agency and operates it from her
home, has been accused by
county authorities of operating
a commercial enterprise in a
residential area.
Neighbors, according to coun-
ty coming authorities and the
states attorneys office, COM
planned she was selling animals
from her home.
Mrs. Summa, through her at
tOrney, Barnard T. Welsh, says
she uses her home at S914
Grant ST., only to make tele-
phone calls and not to sell
animals.
Mrs. Summa started her anil
NAL adoption agency in mid
1859.
Her attorney said the agency
operates this way: a person
who wants to place an animal
for adoption calls Mrs. Summa.
And persons who want to adopt
animals call her, too.
After carefully Investigating
the persons wanting to adopt
the animal, and making sure
from a veterinarian that the
animal is healthy, Mrs. Summa
then brings the former owner
and the new owner together
by telephone.
County authorities say they
have evidence that Mrs. Summa
has sold animals from her
home.
