It is a formidable book of 1251 pages, not including the 356-page supplement required to list the Government’s payroll, and weighs four and three-fourths pounds. Un like the “wish book,” however, it does not contain something for everybody as it leaves the poor taxpayer oiit without even a hint of that long-promised tax cut The $71.8-bil lion new spend ing program is a far cry from ithe pledge which President Eisenhower made as a can | didate in 1952 | to “cut federal < i spending to something like S6O bil lion within four years.” Rather it is strangely reminiscent of the final Truman budget which horrified the incoming Eisenhower Administra tion and prompted a $lO billion cut. It also points up a striking incon sistency with the President’s State of the Union message in which he pled for labor and mangement to combat inflation by foregoing un necessary wage and price increases and resolved that the Federal Gov ernment would utilise “only a prudent share of the nation’s re sources.” • • • MERELY TO READ the budget thoroughly would require at least three days of uninterrupted read ing and to make a comprehensive study of it would take months. Several significant facta stand out, however, even upon superficial examination. Although the total of the budget is stated at $71.8 billion, carryover appropriations and authorisations from previous years would almost double that figure.

Despite the fact that the national debt has been reduced during both the last and present fiscal years, the interest on it has shown a steady increase as the result of the Administration’s hard money policies. It now totals $7.3 billion and constitutes the second highest item in the overall budget. The Administration has com mitted itself to a program of per petual and ever-increasing foreign aid. With a specific presidential message on this subject still to be presented, the budget serves notice that new appropriations of $4.4 billion will be sought, a substantial portion of that amount on a “blank check”’ basis. • * • WHILE THIS NEW budget is in theoretical balance, it must be rec ognized that that balance is based upon increased revenues rather than reduced expenditures. Fur thermore, it gives every indication of further increases to come and holds forth no hope for tax reduc tion in the foreseeable future. Secretary of the Treasury George Humphrey emphasized the consequences of continuing such an unsound fiscal policy with his dec laration that its ultimate result would be “a depression that will eurl your hair.” Anything as large as the pro posed new budget obviously can be reduced considerably without impairing any essential services or programs. I hope that the Demo cratic majority in Congress will undertake to do just that. Details Given on Plans for Proposed Naval Air Station Further details were disclosed this week on plans for a new naval jet air base to be construct ed in south Georgia or north Florida. Two sites between Baxley and Jesup in Appling and Wayne counties are among 10 sites be ing considered, it was revealed by Secretary of the Navy Charles S. Thomas in a letter to Con gresswoman Iris F. Blitch. De tails of criteria for selection of the site, a list of sites considered, and other information was given by the Navy Secretary. The naval jet air base for which a south Georgia site may be selected is one of two new jet bases to be built in the Sixth Naval District according to pre sent plans. One, a center for na val jet training, is already plan ned for the Pensacola area of Florida or in nearby Alabama. It would be included in the 1958 military construction program. The other, to be known as the Naval Air Station, Sixth Naval District, is planned for a location within convenient operating dis tance of the Jacksonville naval airfield area. This is the base which might be built in south Georgia. Surveys are still in the pre liminary stage and no recom mendations have as yet been made, although 10 sites are un der consideration. The project is not planned for inclusion in this year’s military construction pro gram. Secretary of the Navy Thomas gave the following information on requirements for the Naval Air Station, Sixth Naval Dis trict: “A complete new air station is required within the Sixth Naval District Capable of supporting high performance jet aircraft now in use and under development. “The airfields available on the east coast of the United States cannot adequately support the aircraft assigned to commander Air Force, U. S. Atlantic Fleet. This situation is not due to an increase in aircraft numbers but to an increase in size of the air craft and the transition from propellor driven aircraft to mo dern jet aircraft. The percentage of jets within the total number of aircraft in the Navy is steadi ly increasing. The result is that airfields in use during and after World War II now .must be ex panded or replaced. All airfields on the east coast that are capable of being expanded are being a dapted to the support of modern jet aircraft. “In order to provide support for naval aviation during the Korean War it was necessary to utilize shore establishments to the greatest extent possible. The need was immediate and selec tion of new sites was not feasible due to the time required for complete development. One such field was Naval Air Station, Sanford, Fla. It was built dur ing World War II and used un til May of 1946. It was then re activated and reopened during the Korean War. Since then it has remained in use supporting various elements of Air Force, U. S. Atlantic Fleet. In the meantime, civilian encroachment has continued to the point where expansion is not feasible. In ad dition to the foregoing the site itself is too close to the original populated area of Sanford, Fla., to be compatible with modern jet operations.” The following criteria are to be used in selection of the new site: 1. Proximity to other major military installations. Latest di rective calls for 40 miles. 2. Relationship to established airways. Site should not be locat ed under existing controlled ci vil airways — this becomes of major importance if the airways traffic is heavy. 3. Percentage usage of land and effect of its withdrawal from the civil economy. For reasons of po licy, efforts should be directed towards selection of land that produces small civilian tax rev enue and with a minimum num ber of residents requiring reloca tion. Between two compatible sites, one located in two or more counties would produce less re percussion at the county level. 4. Civil congestion in surround ing areas. The high and increas ing noise level of jet aircraft at run-up and take-off necessitates a location of at least five, and preferably 10, miles from any ur ban or thickly populated subur ban area. 5. Terrain. Site should be flat enough to allow Bureau Plan ning Standards to be met with- out excess cutting and filling. Drainage through local streams should be adequate without ex tensive construction of major drainage structures. Large muck areas, especially in the runway areas, are to be avoided. 6. Access to highways and rail roads. Site should be within a reasonable distance (5 to 10 miles) of at least two federal or major state highways. Access to a railroad would .mitigate con struction and support problems, but not a necessity if an ade quate highway system is avail able. 7. Availability of utilities. Po wer: 3,500 to 5,000 KVA, prefer ably from two generating sources and from two high tension lines. Water: Will probably have to be furnished by a station system. Not considered a problem. Tele phone and telegraph: Not con sidered a problem if a trunk switch board is within 20 to 25 miles. Sewage disposal: Not con sidered a problem. 8. Distance from NAS Jackson ville target complex. This would eliminate any site more than 100 miles north of Jacksonville. 9. Access to metropolitan area. Important for logistic support and recreation, but the 40-mile clearance criteria will probably result in a location at least 50 miles from a city of 100,000 or over. 10. Housing facilities. If any location except East Florida im mediate station housing for both officers and enlisted personnel will be required. 11. Churches. Again the 40- mile clearance will prevent easy access to established congrega tions of all creeds. 12. Schools. Location in any area will necessitate federal aid to enlarge local grammar and high school system. Following is the list of sites under consideration: Site 1 — Between Baxley and Jesup, Georgia, in Appling and Wayne counties. Site 2 — Same area as Site 1. Site 3 — Between Baxley and Hazlehurst, Georgia, in Appling and Jeff Davis counties. Site 4 — Between Live Oak and Mayo, Fla., in Suwannee county. Site 5 — Between Lake City and Fort White, Fla., in Colum bia county. Osceola Site — Currently out lying Field, Osceola, Fla., in Seminole county. Mayport Site — Currently the Naval Auxiliary Air Station, Mayport, Fla., in Duval county. Lake City Site — Northeast of Lake City, Fla., in Columbia county. Dublin Site — Wrightsville- Dublin-Cochran area, Ga., in Johnson, Laurens and Bleckley counties. Tifton Site — Tifton area of Georgia in Tift county. DIES IN AUTO CRASH—Wal ter H. Smith, 20, who was kill ed in an automobile accident Sat., Feb. 2. Smith was a native of Pierce county and was home on leave from Turner Air Force Base in Albany. He was the son of the Mr. and Mrs. Leon Harvey Smith. PORTABLE PENS FOR GROWING CALVES Extension dairymen at the Col lege of Agriculture estimate that at least 10 percent of the dairy calves born in Georgia die of sickness and disease before they reach milking age. They say in ternal parasites cause much of this loss, and add that the use of portable pens—moved to a new area every week—has proved suc cessful on many farms in raising calves free from parasites.

Drive-In Banking Peoples Banking Company Legislative Committee Votes Down Proposal to Investigate Corporation Land Holdings (From The Atlanta Constitution) The House State of the Repub lic Committee voted 11 to 7 late Tuesday to kill a proposed in vestigation of timber land hold ings by paper mills and other corporations in Georgia. Backers of the proposed in quiry said they will file a minor ity report in an effort to bring the issue to the House floor for a showdown. The resolution calling for the investigation is sponsored by 25 House members, primarily from South Georgia where corpora tions are heavy land owners. EFFECTS ON TAXES The resolution seeks to de termine the amount of land owned or leased by the mills and corporations and the effect on the economy and tax structures of the counties involved. Rep. John Sheffield of Brooks County said passage of the reso lution might have an adverse effect on the location of new pulp paper mills seeking to lo cate in Georgia. But Rep. Francis W. Allen of Bulloch, one of the sponsors of the resolution, said there “is nothing punitive” in the pro posal. “If we differ action on the strength that a new mill might not come in then we’U be in a position where no industry will come to Georgia because there won’t be any land left,” Allen said. CAUSING CONCERN Sheffield said he understood that the proposed investigation was causing concern among a group currently considering the location of a new, paper mill in Georgia. Pressed by Rep. William L. Lanier of Candler to identify the concern, Sheffield said he under stood the information was given to Gov. Griffin by an official of the Central of Georgia rail way. Rep. Downing Musgrove of Clinch said he thought the infor mation on corporate land hold ings could be obtained “within three days” by Revenue Commis sioner T. V.

CHANGING TIMES Sheffield said he introduced the problem that concerns the South Georgians. But he said, “I don’t believe we can accom plish what these gentlemen want to accomplish by this resolution. Sheffield said the issue raised by the resolution “points up the changing times in Georgia.” “Georgia is changing its face industrially,” he declared. “These mills'have afforded good employ- ment for thousands of Georgians and have returned about a bil lion dollars a year into our ecno my.” Sheffield headed a subcommit tee that had recommended that the proposed investigation be killed. The committee vote came on a motion to override the sub committee. PRESCRIPTION L JERM , Knight-Vickers Drug Store TAKE A LONG LOOK FORWARD Look ahead, plan ahead, get ahead!
