The Dixie-Home Corporation is a combination of two widely-op erated groups of stores; fftb Dixie Stores, which centered in the up per part of the state, and the Home Stores, in the lower part of the state. This combination later joined with the Winn group to make one of the largest food marketing organizations in the Southeast.

A few' hours before the press conference, Byrd had called on the President to heed public sen timent and spell out for Congress where reductions can be made in the record peacetime ^spending of $71.8 billion proposecPtar the fis cal year starting next July 1. Mr. Byrd declared the present grass rOots movement for economical Government ‘is different from anything I hfive seen in my 24 years of service in the Senate.’ About $70 billion of unspent appropriations will be available to the President on July 1, the Senator said, so he will have to lend a hand in reducing spending, even if Congress should reduce ney money voted for next year, j Mr. Eisenhower made no direct comment on Mr Byrd’s demand. However, when asked if a budget j reduction of the size proposed by i the Senator could be made w'ith safety to the Nation he retorted, T dont believe you can cut that kind of sum . . ,’ ‘Now where are you going to cut five billion?’ he continued. ’. . Someone else will have to say that it is not important to keep up our obligations to veterans, that it is not in the interests of all of us to try to keep a healthy agriculture, that it is not ir> the interst of all of us to get some schools built . . .’ The President add^d, ‘If these programs are not essential to us, why .then ,of course, you can save a lot. of money. I happen to think-they are essential, and that is the way I am operating.’ In listing spots where leakage’ of funds could be slowed, Mr. Eis enhower commented that the De fense Department could probably make savings for one year by shortening up still further <*on their carryovers. ’ But he added thik ‘has been a. point of agument for some years.’ « - Otherwise, the President said, reductions could be made for ex ample, by correcting *the postal deficit by higher rates on which he commented, I haye made Just zero progress.’ Cutting » down public works and putting Gov ernment lending programs ‘on a business basis' also would help, he added. • Public works projects are ap parently vbted by Congess ‘for political purposes, because the engineering department has said they are not necessary,’ Mr. Eis enhower charged As for lending, he noted that in some pograms, the Government charges as little as 2 per cent interest, while “we | pay 3Vi-to ^4.’ Asked whether he would give Congress specific recommenda-1 tkms for budget cuts based on the review now going on in the Bud get Bureau, the President re plied each department will make its own. * , Testifying at a House commit tee hearing, Budget Director Brundage also promised the je suits would be made public, but s^id it would be several weeks before the review is completed.’ Many parts of the budget can’t ,be touched.' Mr Eisenhower de clared. We have got.interest on the public debt; w have got grants-in-aid that are fixed by law; we have got veterans’ charg es ;and then we have got a long series of agricultural programs that require . . . money You can't take these things and just stop them in mid-stride, Sorpe of them yor^eould save-a little mon ey by ^cutting into the progam.’ gram.’ y After counting tile vast ex pense’ in the Post Office’ Impart ment, you come to the field that deals with our future ..security,’ ■ including the Defense Depart ment, the Atomic Energy Com mission and foreign aid, he c’on- tinued, ‘and th.ese things are the ones that absorb the vast portion of fhe budget..' •. The economy issue came up early in the President’s press -conference when a reporter asked if Mr. Eisenhower would be wil ling, for instance, to do without the pair of helicopters , which have been procured for taking him to the golf course. Becoming quite angry, the President replied. T don't think much of the question, because no helicopters have been procured for me to go to a golf course.’ The reporter started another sentence, but Mr. Eisenhower snapped sharply, Thank you, that is all.’ .1 Later, another newsman asked whether the President planned to alter his foreign laid program Vi view of the Congressional ecorvV my drive. „ You’ve opened yourself up for a little speech,' the Chief Execu tive replied and promptly launch ed his budget defense.” The foreign- aid is a delusion, the school aid is a snare; the pub lic power business is socialistic, wasteful and deplorable 1 Perhaps .the best 5 p p ro a’c h would be an Act of .Congress can celing every dollar of that sev enty billion dollar carryover When a President has such en ormous balances at his disposal he may some day be independ ent of Congress That 70 billion dollar carry over should be scrutinized and brought back under the control of Congress.

Wier. Harold Fortson ,a SLED officer from Columbia, has- been helping him in the investigation, the sheriff said. So far, he said, they had nothing new to divulge. The sheriff identified the miss ing- Negro -as Bill /fnderaen, re tired extra worker on the Sea board Air Line track crew, who was drawing a pension.- About a month after he dis appeared, the sheriff said, one' of the man’s shoes was found in an old house about a mile from the raifroad. About a year la ter,„ he said, a pair of pants which An derson’s wife identified as the pants which Anderson wore when he left for Petersburg was found under some bushes a mile or so away. The pants, .he said, contained a pass on the SAL rail road which he could have used in riding nearer to his home. The sheriff said that Anderson couldn’t have had much money on him because he had cashed his monthly, pensiop check t o make the trip to Petersburg Comments On Men and Things By SPECTATOR The President’s budget can be sharply reduced. With a carry over of seventy billions why can not five billions* cut from this hew budget of seventy-two bil lions. " ‘ •‘President Eisenhower clashed sharply with Democratoc and Re publican Congressional demands for drastic budget cuts. In_ his strongest anS clearest words yet on the economy drive, the President told his press con ference ‘its futile’ to think the U. S. can maintain its foreign and domestic programs and cut the budget severely. Mr. Eisenhower specifically re jected proposals by Sen. Byrd (D., Va.) for more than $5 billion of spending cuts. His arguments, which he termed ‘a little speech,’ also struck back at Congressional demands for budget cutting in general. Only Tuesday, House Republicans unanimously adopt ed a resolution calling for a ‘sharp reduction’ in spending. The GOP representatives also went orf* record in favor of tax re lief ‘as soon as practicable.’ The President said he was also sure the ‘people want a tax cut as soon as it can be done.’ But, he added, ‘I am also certain also of this: That the American people also know what kind of stand ards they want in national secur ity, the safety of their country, in the amounts invested for peace, and in the amounts invested for, you might say, raising or meeting the human requirements of our own people at home.’ The Chief Executive conceded that ‘you can save some money here and there,’ but argued much more strongly than before that the programs provided in the budget cannot be cut seriously. In his earlier discussions of the economy drive, Mr. Eisenhower has taken the positioft that Con gress authorizes all such pro grams, and Congress can decide to discontinue whatever it choos es. Yesterday, however, he declar- ^ . X : es?iv<a9 and Better "Pickings" for everybody...every purpose SHOP '' 11 save in bur big May IN AIR-CONDITIONED COMFORT!
