WASHINGTON REPORT At

Defense spending has been
11 rider a rather heavy attack In
i ccent months. There are many
Congressmen, myself included,
who want to sec waste trimmed
out of the defense budget. We
Relieve that tax dollars should
be used efficiently in all aieas
of govei nment, and that defense

comes to evaluating cost effec

A glance at the facts shows
that much of this talk about the
Gangers of the military-industrial
complex is a smokescreen to cov
er the real culprit in the federal
spending problem the “wel
fare-handout complex.” While
the military has been taking an
e\ er decreasing peicentage of the
budget, welfare costs have moie
than doubled since 1960. Yet, it
is more welfare money that is
usually called foi by those who
attack defense piogiams so vehe
mently
It is hue of couise that we do
spend much money on militaiv

not tiue is that this spending is

as they were being called upon
to finance the war in Southeast
Asia. This means that fiom a

complex" cost the taxpayers
about $3O billion more than the
military-industrial complex.
It also is interesting to look
at the percent of the Federal
budget devoted to various types
ol programs. While defense
spending has dropped 8 percent
in the last ten years, welfare
spending has risen 8 percent. The
couesponding percentages are
not as significant as the obvious
fact that welfaie is getting moie
while defense is getting less.
The memhois of the “vvclfaie
h.'iuiout complex” have good
icason foi tiv mg to use defense
as a whipping bov foi public
i c'entment against the heavy tax
load Since they claim that we
have haidly begun to fulfill then
expectations and then piogiams
aheady aie taking one out of
tlnee federal tax dollars, they
have to find something on which
to blame the budget pioblems
None of this means that de
fense spending should not be sub
jected to reasonable economizing
It does mean that the defense
establishment is not the danger

Your local dealer explains why
GLEANER combines have bigger differences
than ever. And more capacity.
YOU HEAR IT AGAIN AND AGAIN —“That
Gleaner combine gets more crop and
cleaner crop out of the field than any
other.” Why? Gleaner combines are
different from the ten other makes.
Basic design of other combines^
Basic design used only by GLEANER combine
That difference starts right down in
front with our Sure-Feed system. An
exclusive! It controls all crops. Like
this—
Header auger feeds into a cylinder
width beater. Retractable fingers comb
and spread crop over the entire cylinder
width. Gleaner combines use every
inch of rasp bar for full threshing, full
capacity morning or afternoon —in
heavy or light crops.
Your crop’s under full control
Entire action takes only 15 inches of
crop travel—shortest header-to-cylin
der delivery of all! Every “cut” is under
full mechanical control to within one
inch of the cylinder. Result—feeding
accuracy and threshing capacity un
matched even by the heavyweights.
Also, our down-front design puts the
pivot point behind the cylinder, so ma
terial always feeds at the same angle
even while headers move up or down.
All others pivot ahead of cylinder—re
sulting in over- or under-threshing.
They have a 50 to 98-inch conveyor feed.

Any conveyor tends to hunch material
at its center, causing uneven cylinder
Separating length, other makes
Greater separating length of GLEANER combine
It’s easy to see how Gleaner combine
down-front cylinder design gives a
much greater separating area, more ca
pacity everywhere it touches the crop.
Separation begins as wing beater be
hind the cylinder agitates, fluffs the
crop. Air blast from rotating cylinder
and beater increases crop agitation.
Grain, dust, chaff fall through the straw
evenly onto the raddle below. That’s
early separation, ready for Gleaner
combine pre-cleaning.
Two-fan cleaning, only on GLEANER combine
Here’s another" -difference— two-fan
cleaning. The others don’t pre-clean—

they try to do all the cleaning at the
shoe. In the Gleaner combine, the
upper fan directs a heavy air blast
through the grain stream as it comes off
the raddle— pre-cleans crop before it
ever reaches the shoe. Blows dust, dirt
out rear.
Second fan finish-cleans the crop at
the chaffer and shoe. One fan before the
shoe, one fan at the shoe; a bigger,
cleaner crop with Gleaner combine.
“Swing-Down" concave bottom and
safety concave door
Time and money-saving protection are
yours with this important difference:
(1) Safety concave door ejects rocks auto
matically. (2) Swing-Down concave bot
tom, only two bolts to loosen for fast
access, easy adjustment.
Sure-Feed system; controlled feed
ing; down-front cylinder; greater sepa

money-saving, time-saving protection
in an exclusive concave safety system!
These are only some of the Gleaner
combine differences. A
