And they are hopeful that taxpayers will continue to shower Congress with mail urging economy. Reports from Congressional offices show no thus far in the slackening economy mail. Congressional consideration of the many appropriation fills which make up the budget now is under way. Committee hearings and action will go on until the last bill is cleared, probably in late June. Thus, economy leaders say, there should be no let-u- p in the demands of taxfor cutting payers for relief MIXING Some Ways To Cut Concrete plans for budget cutting range from $2 billion to more than $8 billion. A simple way, some economy advocates say, is for Congress to resolve to hold appropriations to last years level. This was $2.9 billion under the proposed budget. Nebraska Congressman, Rep. A. L. Miller, thinks Congress can reduce the budget by $8 bil-- it lion if really is economy-Speakin- g from con minded. siderable experience, he lists ways in which he thinks this can be accomplished. IMPORTS DOLLARS FOR UTAH Utah's mines produce far more than can possibly be used In our state. This leaves millions of tons of minerals which are sold out of Utah. As a result, millions of dollars come back to our state to help produce prosperity for all Utahns from mining company payrolls, supply purchases and tax payments. UTAH MINING ASSOCIATION "From the earth comes an abundant life for all" Increasing efficiency of government and reducing unnecessary functions, he says, could save $5 billion. The number of government employees, now could be cut IQ per cent. New federal activities, such as federal aid to education, could be avoided. Foreign aid could be cut. Sen. Bridges of New Hampshire, a leader on the Senate Appropriations Committee, has lifted his sights. Close study of the budget has convinced him that $2.5 billion to $3 3 billion can be saved and more if Congress agrees. Many items on the budget, he says, cannot be cut. These include interest on the national debt, commitments to veterans, trust funds which affect widows and orphans, and the like. But, he says, Congress could save $575 million by the simple expedient of limiting public works expenditures to the 1956 figure. He thinks $750 million could be taken out of the defense budget. Foreign aid, he says, could be reduced $12 billion, and several hundred million could be saved by miscellaneous reductions. First Big Budget Bill Although Chairman Clarence Cannon of the House Appropriations Committee assailed the Eisenhower budget, the first regular appropriation bill voted out by his committee carried a cut of but two per cent. The bill for the Treasury and Post Office Departments carried a total of $3,884,927,000 to run the departments for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The committee cut $80 3 million from the budget recommendations. In 1957, more people than ever before in U. S. history will take to the highway s for v acations.

As the world's largest passenger carrier with a record of 9.5 billion miles in 1956, Eassenger a sharp eye open for vacationing eating habits. Other Avenues Of Saving Meantime, Secretary of Agriculture Benson, heeding President Eisenhowers injunction to departments to seek to save money, proposed a cut in the farm props to save $200 million annually. But his economy plan faces stiff opposition in Congress with some members of the farm bloc seeking to greatly expand farm plan costs. Benson seeks to reduce surpluses, and thus permit farmers to get what he thinks is a proper return in the market place.
