BURKE, JR. Owner *■: Mrs. SARAH C. .LATHAM. Managing Editor Entered aa Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) -—-- PER TEAR YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS ~ fit Rri>. Burr P. Harrison , - Washington-The peoph of the United States, through the Federal Government, own a tremendous amount of real estate and personal property. Just" how much it is worth "is not. certain. Committees of Congress, wife the co-operation > of the various departments and . agencies in the Executive Branch, have been trying to figure the total value for a number of years. -We citizens and taxpayers have • a financial interest, for example in nearly 700' million acres of public - lands. We own* the ill-starred' Hope Diamond, which is on view at the Smithsonian Institution in Washingtop. On Capital Hill, we have a share in scores of paintings, busts and statues 4i»layed in the Cnpitol itself and a block away in the Supreme Court building. The public lands have an estimated present value of almost $14.5 bil- lion. The Hope Diamond may be worth $200,000 or $2,000,000, hut it is carried on the books "With azero valuation, because the presentpractice is to show personal property at cost, and the big stone was ‘donated to the museum. Works of -art at the Capitol are shown in the property inventory at $1,425,000. The Supreme Court reports $78, 500 worth of portraits and busts. In the Library of Congress, the card catalogs alone are valued at $97,000,000, and the fumihiad and equipment aft more than $2, 000,000. The really priceless collections of books, prints, photographs, etc., are listed at $2.2 billion. , • As of now, the inventory procedure provides for listing personal property at acquisition cost; public lands-, at estimated present Value, and other real estate of the Federal Government at acquisition cost. The Committee fen Government Operations of the House of Representatives, which has been undertaking an annual inventory of the possessions of the Federal Government, is not satisfied that it makes aense to continue to list federal real estate, acquired many years* ago, at acquisition cost, when its value has' increased many times. In its recent inventory report, fee Committee commented; “There is, at fee present time, much acreage listed on fee books of the Federal Government at “no value” simply because it was received by fee Government at no output of moneys. These properties are valuable and are definitely an asset of fee Federal Government and should be listed at some realistic -value rather than continue to be listed on fee balance sheet of our nation’s Government as of no value. Good bookkeeping prac tices^demand that this situation oe corjreeted.” As of June 30, 1958, according1 to the recent committee report, the value of Federal holdings in real and personal property, computed as outlined above, was figured in excess of $262 billion. The biggest holder of property was the Department of Defense, with its worldwide system of bases and other installations—$31 billion worth of real estate and $120 billion worth of equipment and supplies. Of the public domain lands in the United.,, States, including Alaska, the armed forces controlled nearly 19 million acres, with an estimated^current value of $195 million, for military purposes. In addition to this, the Department of Defense held enough real estate outside the socalled public domain to make a grand total of 33 million acrks'tlti*der its control. When cost to the Government is taken into account, Virginia stands third among the states in the magnitude of military real property investment, exceeded only by California and Texas. According to the. committee report the Department of Defense holds 298, 561 acres in Virginia. The land and improvements cost $1.3 billion to acquire. RAPP CHATS!

Byrd said, “I commend the President for his efforts toward a balanced budget. I shall support this objective. I hope taxpayers of the country will demand that those representing them in Congress—House and Senate—act to balance the budget ' in fact. Expenditures should be cut below the President’s $77 billion figure. The budget relies too heavily on anticipated increases in tax revenue, and no provision is made for ‘debt reduction. Jt is gratifying to note Budget Message recognition of need for: 1. Item veto authority; 2. Consolidation of appropriation bills; 3. Expenditure control, Including authority to spend out of debt rec e i p t s, foreign currencies, etc.; 4. Bringing so-called business-type agencies under the (government) Corporation Control Act; and 5. Continuing review of laws, programs and agencies for dead wood. I have advocated these reforms for years. ^ I have introduced item veto bills repeatedly since 1938. Another resolution was introduced last week by Senator Bush, Williams of Delaware and me. Resolutions for a single appropriation bill with expenditure control have been passed twice in the Senate, but each time they died in the House. The proposal will bo introduced again shortly. The need for expenditure control is obvious. If die President’s appropriation requests are enacted, federal agencies will be authorized to spend $149.6 billion—$76^8 billion in new spending authorize tions and $72.8 billion in balances carried over from prior years. Congress has lost annual control over expenditures. Its recovery ‘ would be one of the most important things that could be done in this session. ■» Bilb would be offered to bring business-type agencies under the Corporation Control Act and to ISEIBERLINGI COMMUTER PLUS TAX NO TRADE IN TUBE TYPE BLACK WALL TOPS IN TRACTION BRAND NEW-NOT RECAPS MUD & SNOW hres TUBE TYPE BLACK WALLS 6.70 X 16 PLUS TAX & RECAPPABLE TIRE Barron’s 406 N.

The school question was to be settled. Well it was, with a tie vote from the supervisors so in they called the “POOR” tie breaker. For him it was this if you do, and this if you don’t. So after much bickerin’ and battin’ around, everybody settled down, and the tie was broken with t‘NO" it’s a bad time right now, there are so many things to consider, so the school question is again at a standstill, and we can go on from here with other unfinished business. Things seem to be moving along just about the same in Rappahannock. Clean-up week is in full swing in Washington. Cards have been mailed out asking >everyone to vote for the most improved property. That sure will be hard to do, for I never did see the old town so dressed,up. As for me if will be hard to decide. Everyone •has gone into the clean-up program with so much vim and vigor.

Strength For IAfe “For the word of God is quick,' and powerful, and sharper than. ' marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12. ‘v.s: If we were given the opportunity or the responsibility to hold an atomic bomb, we would be very careful to handle it with care. We would use all precaution to sec that its power was not j released at the wrong time or place. The word of God can prove to be very destructive to those who handle it carelessly or without divine guidance. Every person who approaches the word of God must realize that it is quick and’ powerful. Quick means that which has life. Only those who have been quickened and made alive by the power of God can draw upon thie great reservoir of power contained thereiij. The Psalmist said, “This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quicked me.” Ps. 119: 50. It was due wqrd of God that brought discomfort and conviction to David when he had committed a sin against Godjby having Uriah put to death. It was, the word of God, spoken through Nathan the ‘ prophet, that broujght conviction to his heart. Not until David repented of his sin against God could he find strength and ‘comfort in God’s word. i '' ■ There was a young Jewish girl who had never discovered the real joy of life and she was about to commit suicide. She was given a New Testament with the promise that she would read it. She began to read it and was led to accept the One she had been taught to believe, that to name his name would pollute?her lips. These are the words from the young Jewish girl as she readtthe first chapter of Matthew: ! “I was now much agitated, and any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the jaiints, and SWEET-ORR CORDUROYS IW IIMON MAM j wwi wwwwy wurTomta nor % *pfc, past nor crack.

But I read it and it burned like fire in my heart.” Thy word is like a garden. Lord, With flowers bright and fair; And every one, who seeks may pluck A lovely cruster there. Thy word is like a deep, deep mhje And jewels rich and rare ■ Are hidden in its mighty depth* ^ For every searcher there. Thy word is like a starry host; A thousand rays of light Are seen to guide the traveler, And make his pathway bright. - * Thy word is like an armory, Where soldiers may repair, And find, for life’s long battle day, All needful weapons there. O may I love Thy precious word, li'~—. May I explore the mine, May I its fragrant flowers glean, May light upon me shine. O may I find my armor there, Thy wo?d my trusty sword I'll learn to fight with every! foe The battle of tthe Lord. Rev. John R.

In general, there is an ample supply of hay over the state. In the Valley, sizeable quanti tits are available for sale. This year has been rite first year since 1951 that we haven't had a short hay crop in some part of the state. _ For the nation, record stocks were on hand January 1, four per cent over last year and 27 percent over rite ten year average. Virginia’s 1958 crop was the largest, on record—up 35 percertf from die 1957 crop and one^ourth greater than average. If you are a dairyman and anticipate a need for good quality alfalfa, it might be wise to buy now. Even though wehad a record hay crop, supply of no. 1 alfalfa and no. 2 leaf alfalfa is limited. Iq the Valley this week; farmers were receiving $28 to $30 for no. 2 leafy alfalfa and no. 1 alfalfa. Number 2 alfalfa was bringing $24 to $26.

Lespedeta seed supply for the nation is running 2 percent over last year. Korean kind, which makes up 89 percent of the total grown in Virginia, is 9 percent over 1958 production but 4 percent below the ten year average. So the supply should be. ample to go around. Orc^ardgrass; domestic seed is in ample supply although total supply is running 5 percent less than a year ago. The supply figures 35 percent greater than the ten year average, however. A large 'portion of the total supply is now imported—about four million pounds. Of that, approximately three million comes from Denmark Red clover production is up 6 percent from last year and 14 percent over the ten year average. Total supply, production plus carryover, is running one percent below last year. The improved variety Kenland is in good supply and therefore priced close to common Red Clover, so it looks like this year will be a good time to switch'*6’ to this variety of Red Clover. Tall Fescue Kentucky 31 or Alta) is not as plentiful supplywise as some of the other seeds, but there’s plenty of it around. Demand has. not been as great for .this seed as for some of the other, so if this is the seed you’re looking for, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding it.

Virginia prices were running a little lower than Delmarva and Georgia last week, but they are not expected to go any lower, as long as prices in these areas hold their present level—at least not for the next few weeks. Reports are that some of the Deep South markets are putting out lighter than normal birds for market. This would indicate that demand is catching up with supply and might make a firm market for the next few weeks. In Virginia, broilers were 2 cents higher for the week at 16 to 19 cents, mostly 17 cents a pound. In North Carolina, broilers moved up to 18 cents and in Georgia, broilers were mostly-18 also. Delmarva broilers ranged from 20 to# 20.4 cents a pound. THIS AND THAT (continued from Pec* *) Spcrryvillc is getting all set for a big clean-up so why don’t we make it county-wide?
