Washington, March 29.—^Prospects that the seventy-seventh congress will have to raise the debt limit to $75,000,000,000 and increase taxes three billi(»s a year within twelve months loomed tonight as the spend ing authorizations of the present young session passed the $25,000,- 000,000 mark. About $8,000,000,000 requested in President Roosevelt’s 1942 fiscal year budget, including $4JK)0,000,000 for the army, have yet to be consid er by congress. And additional sums to supplement the defense pro- grom are anticipated by congression al fiscal leaders. Representative CUftem Woodrum, Democrat, Virginia, Avho handles most of the appropriations bills in the house, said today that with the seven billions for British aid, the de fense outlays for the current and coming fiscal year aggregate $32,- 182,6^4,400. This is exclusive of the billions for ordinary government ex penses, relief, pensions and social se curity. Already the less than three- months-old congress has broken all peace and war-time recor^ in hav ing fully or partially apj^oved ap propriations exceeding $20,000,000,- 000 in cash, with $4,000,000,000 more in contractual authority and authori zations^. The'house, udiich initiates such legislation, is so far ahead of the sen ate that it plans a two weeks vaca tion beginning April 3 and ending April 17. Senate Majority Leader Barkley said there would be no vacation for the senate, Y^ch next week will consider the 2,500,000,000 fifth sup plemental defense bill, carrying funds to provide equipment fog a four-million-man army, and the rec ord smashing $lji00,000,000 agricul tural supply measure. President Roosevelt’s 1942 budget anticipated a $58,000,000,000 debt on July 1, 1942. To meet this contin gency, congress speedily raised the debt limit from $49,000,000,000 to $65,000,000,000. Since then ^e $7,- 000,000,000 British aid program was enacted, which would wipe out the balance. Also, since then, the presi dent has asked $3,000,000,000 addi tional for defense purposes and more requests are^ing drafted. Thus, witll there being no likeli hood of sufficient revenue being raised to meet mmre than 40 per cent of the authorized spending, congress faces the problem of increas ing the debtUa^ before the* 1943 fiscal year in orifia to pay defense costs largely ffilrbuih borrowing. That the president will ask for a huge tax bill is predicted by all Democratic leaders. be shipped to Great Britain, but we may eventually be called upon to feed conquered nations throughout Europe. A test shipment of grain is being made, for the purpose of feed ing the free French. If this food ii used only for that purpose it may lead to large shipments later, but if it gets into the hands o^ the Ger mans, such shipments will undoubt edly be stopped. Plan PlaoM As a result of the $7,000,000,000 bill to finance production which in cludes two billions for planes, plans are now being worked out to supply Great Britain with 20,000 planes ^thin the next 18 months. This in cludes planes which already have been ordered by England as well as those we will provide. The schedule calls for production of over 1,000 planes a month for this purpose alone. Because o^ the fear' of loss of planes in export, if they are sent across the Atlantic on boats, there is talk here of establishing a safe route for flying them over. This involves difficulties, such as the imwillingness of Ireland to permit England to es tablish bases there, but it is under stood that a large number j>f bomb ers already have been flown to Eng land without casualties. Plans are being made to spend an other half billion of that Mven bil lion dollars to build about 400 freight boats for the British. A six>kesman for the maritime commission, which is behind this program, said that by{ November the commission expects to have constructed a million tons of ships. In addition to the new ships being built, it is understood that the gov ernment is now in the process of transferring 50 American freighters to the British. One reason for quick action in transferring ships is to! make it possible to carry goods to| England on British ships rather thani on our own. I On the heels of the seven billion dollar defense bill, the senate must! now vote on four billions for financ-1 ing our enlarged army and navy. < This bill, already approved by the! house, is known as the fifth supple-; mental defense appropriation bill. Because of the increasing trend to-1 war^ unity of action in congress, this! measure is not expected to receive much opposition. Strikes Strikes in defense industries con tinue to cause increasing worry here and plans for stopping them are breaking out like smallpox. The pres ident has set up a national defense biediation board but it is feared that the board, without being provided witl\ a big club, will not be able to cope with the situation. Representative Vinson, chairman of the house naval affairs committee, has announced that his committee will consider a bill to confer statu tory authority on the president’s ex ecutive order creating the mediation board. He pK)ints out that the presi dent cannot include enforcetneag provisions in an executive order, anA that the board should be set up bgr statute in order to make enforcemcaR provisions possible. Repre^ntathNS Vinson’s bill would provide a $5,MB fine and a year’s imprisonment Ikr interfering wi^ the duties of tte board.

Washington, April 1. — There is more and more talk here about the importance of the farmer and his family to the defense and aid-Britain program. — - In the first place, the war is ex pected to beemne a food war and the American farmer will be called upon to supply the food needs to all de mocracies. In the second place, army leaders arc showing a decided preference for healthy farm boys as soldiers and are pushing enlistment in the farm re gions. One method which is proving successful is the trailer recruiting offices which cover the rural regions. - In the third place, defense indus tries, runhing short of skilled labor and mechanics, have found that young farmers, experienced in oper ating and repairiiig motorized farm equ^ment, have a - fundamental knowledge of machines which can be very useful. Thus the farmers are being asked to supply the food, pro vide a large part of the army and help out Ml the industrial end of the war program. Although there has been a big drop in export sales of farm products, that drop is just temporary. Instead of being replaced by direct export sales, however. It will be replaced by huge purchases by the government for ex port purposes. The government wants to control where food is sent and will, at the same time, keep a con trol over prices. It may permit prices to rl^ somewhat but will keep them from going high enough to amount to real inflation. The largest amounts of food will ZlMttATXmHaik MT PRICED WITH THE LOWEST aiasw..*5MV Pkk.l)i»*IMS WITHCC-U n , CIi««..*595? rwiTMCAS) Stakes ..740” Wg Btllgvg You*ll Chootg Dodgg Tmeks til ony Pokil- for^oint Comporiion ... bgcauig tlMy*rB moffg truck for Yovr Mongyl Mt kul IMM (if in) nire.
