ntltWT. mATT TT. -I JUf Treasury, Post Office Bill Benson Sees Ag Surplus WASHINGTON, May 16 (JP) —Congress wrapped up and sent to the White House to day its first hig money bill of the year, and Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex) proclaimed: “We have saved $80,363,000 for the tax- payers in the first of the 19 an nual appropriations." The $3,884,927,000 bill, to fi nance the Treasury and Post Of fice departments and .the tax court, was- $80,363,000 smaller than President Dwight D. Eisen hower had asked. While the reduction was only two per cent, it symbolized the uphill struggle Eisenhower is in for in his effort to get all, or nearly all, of the $71,800,000,000 he plans to spend in the year be ginning July 1. His newest appeals in support of the budget, voiced in a speech to the nation Tuesday night and In his news conference yesterday, developed little if any effective response. Other bills nearing final action are carrying cuts averaging eight per cent under White House re quests, and even deeper slashes have been predicted fob some items like foreign aid which are yet to reach either the House ori Senate. The Treasury-post office bill was dispatched to the White House—“put it on roller skates,” Johnson jokingly suggested to Senate clerks—after the Senate accepted a minor House amend ment. The total included $691,467,000 for the Treasury, a cut of $22,- 364,000 under White House fig ures; $3,192,000,000 for the Post Office, a cut of $58,000,000; and $1,460,000 for the tax court, with no cut. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R-II 1) predicted that the Post Office will call for more money before the year is over. To that, Johnson, the Senate Democratic leader, re plied: “I will not look with sym pathy on any supplemental re quest,” v The House Appropriations Com mittee meanwhile approved a $78,470,285 bill to operate the House and related agencies dur ing the year beginning July 1. This total represented a cut of less than three per cent from overall requests, as compared to the eight per cent average cut made in previous bills.

When these have been received 1 will then consider what further inform lion I can give to the House. I have nothing to add, except that first indica tions are that the local fall-out was almost negligible.” - He declined to give any further details of the type of bomb which exploded over the Pacific yester day after being dropped from a four-engine British jet bomber. The Labor party leader, Hugh Gaitskell, quoted reports from Japan published here saying ef fects there of yesterday’s blast were as great and even more pro longed than those from previous United States tests at Bikini atoll.

Benson denounced the House action, in which 38 Republicans joined 154 Democrats, as 4alse economy.” Voting against the sur prise move to cut off the 750- million-dollar acreage reesrve part of the soil bank program after! this year were 141 Republicans and 46 Democrats. Thus the tally to end further soil bank subsidy payments was 192-187. Spoke to Committee Benson addressed his words to the House Agriculture Committee, but he was aiming them at Senate! ears, since the next move is up] to that chamber. “If the acreage reserve is not permitted to function for 1958 crops ” he said, “there is every likelihood that surpluses will pile up still further, rather than di minish.” Sees Support Rise Benson added that if land re tired into the soil bank this year is returned to production next year, the cost of government price supports “will in all. probability be greater than would have been the cost of the acreage reserve for 1958 basic crops.” Benson contended the acreage reserve plan, in which farmers are paid to refrain from planting crops of which there is already an abundance, had not been given a fair chance.
