Tax Cut “Justified,”
Bill’s Author Says
WASHINGTON.—The government
is on the potato merry-go-round
again, pouring out millions of your
tax dollars to hold up the price of
spuds.
Right now, this looks like a big
year for Uncle Sam as a potato pur-
chaser.
The growers, knowing a govern-
ment-maintained gravy train when
they see one, are producing far in ex-
cess of goals fixed by the Department
of Agriculture to meet needs.
Department officials say there is no
question that the potato support price
provides an incentive to produce—in
most cases it guarantees the grower
a good profit. Support prices aver-
age about $1.90 a hundredweight but
in some areas run up to as high as
$2.90 for No. 1 potatoes, sacked and
loaded.
The department figured about 66
million bushels of early potatoes
would be enough for U. S. consumers.
But growers are turning out some 93
million bushels of these early pota-
toes—a surplus of about 27 million
This doesn’t count the more impor-
tant fall crop, on which no estimates
are yet available.
The government is almost sure to
get stuck with most of the surplus.
So far, it has taken more than 6,618,-
000 bushels off the market at a cost
of more than $10 million.
At this time last year the govern-
ment had bought only slightly more
than a million bushels.
Q.—I have been drawing $57.50
each month from my $10,000 War
Risk Insurance since my discharge
:from the Army after World War I.
.Are such payments discontinued aft-
er the $10,000 is exhausted?
A.—No. Payments may be con-
tinued for the remainder of your
life, provided your total disability re-
mains unchanged.
Q.—I would like to appear before
the Rating Board to explain my own
elaim. May I do this?
A.—Yes, but a definite appoint-
ment should be made and you should
be there at the time for which the'
hearing is designated. Expenses in-
cidental to going to or from the Rat-
ing Board must be borne by you.
Q.—Why do I have to pay the two
monthly premiums instead of one
when I reinstate my lapsed National
Service Life Insurance policy?
A.—One premium is for the 31-day
grace period following the date of
lapse, during which the insurance
was continued in force without pay-
ment of premium; the other is for
the current month of your insurance
policy’s reinstatement.
Q.—My son, a World War II veter-
an, is in a VA hospital in a distant
city. Will I be permitted to visit him
every day if I go to live in the city
where the hospital is located?
A.—Yes, if his condition permits
such visits. All Veterans Adminis-
tration hospitals have special hours
set aside each day for visitors, the
same as civilian hospitals.
I **|
Predicting that the Republicans
will take full control of the govern-
ment in January, the Minnesotan
added that, with “sufficient econ-
omies,” he not only thinks individual
income taxes can be cut by another
$4,000,000,000 in 1950 but excise
levies can be reduced as well.
The Veterans Administration
prohibited the expenditure of
government funds for veterans’ train-
ing courses of a recreational or avo-
cational character after July 1, 1948.
The new VA policy is in compli-
ance with the Independent Offices
Appropriation Act for 1949 in which
Congress directed that VA provide no
further payments for courses of this
type.
These
courses
gliding, personality development,
tertainment courses, sports and ath-
letics, bar-tending and certain music
courses.
Training veterans to fly or related
aviation courses will be paid for by
VA only where the veteran estab-
lishes that the training is in connec-
tion with his present or contemplated
business or occupation and can pass
required medical examinations.
Veterans presently enrolled in
courses of this type will be allowed
to finish.
But no future enrollments will be
authorized by VA unless veterans
completely justify that such training
is in connection with their present or
contemplated business or occupation.
Courses of education in approved
public or private elementary or sec-
ondary schools or institutions of
higher learning are not affected by
the new VA policy. Neither has there
been any change in the status of rec-
ognized vocational training, institu-
tional on-the-farm training or other
training-on-the-job.
“The prohibition of the Appropria-
tion Act of 1949 is in accord with and
reemphasizes the underlying spirit
and intent of the educational and
training provisions of the Service-
men’s Readjustment Act,” a VA
spokesman pointed out.
“Therefor, veterans should not seek
to pursue courses for avocational or
recreational purposes, but only
courses which will contribute to the
veteranss’ vocational or occupational
advancement or educational objec-
tive.”

OKLAHOMA CITY. — Prairie
Grove School has gone up in smoke
signals.
Next fall the little schoolhouse will
stand empty and forlorn, and its 15
pupils will be transferred to nearby
Guthrie district.
All because some students got their
smoke signals crossed.
In bad weather it was a tradition
that no smoke from the school chim-
ney meant no school today. Smoke, on
the other hand, meant glasses as
usual.
Then came the big March blizzard.
Teacher Ruth Shope told the class to
stay home till it was over. But next
day she went to clean the classroom.
It was cold, so she built a fire.
Promptly two pupils showed up
through the drifts—and did so for
two days more. Miss Shope
marked the other 13 absent
washed windows.
But fate was sneaking up.
heavy absences dropped the attend-
ance average .22 below the state’s
daily requirement of 13 for an inde-
pendent school.
The local board claimed Miss
Shope wasn’t really teaching school
those three days and begged her to
teach three extra days at the end of
term to square the record. Miss
Shope, however, wanted to go home
and school was out, period.
It was, permanently.
The state is in the middle of a
hard-boiled campaign to merge such
tiny districts. It refused to reopen

of
this year’s tax cut bill said Saturday
the 1948 budget surplus “more than
justifies” that $4,500,000,000 income
tax slash and points the way to an-
other almost as large in 1950.
Chairman Knudson of Minnesota of
the House ways and means commit-
tee, attributed the record $8,400,000,-
000 Treasury surplus on June 30 to
savings which he contended Congress
forced on President Truman.
He called Truman, who had the tax
cut passed into law over 1
“the greatest peacetime spender”
