Clifford Christensen, an agent for the Rock County Savings and Trust which is receiver the bankrupt Farm Bureau Warehouse, said he felt the J78 ,000 a.s- sessment on land and buildings is too high based on an appraisal of the value of the layout as was made recently. Christen.sen said he felt an as.sessment of $52,500 would be in line. Increased $1 ,000 Recently ft was brought out that the assessment was upped $1,000 to the $78,000 figure due to completion within the last year of an addition to the fertilizer building.

Assessor Ambrose J. Olsen said his assessment is based on reports and record.i that were submitted by the Farm Bureau office and which always appeared to be in order. There is an additional $34,210 assessment on machinery and equipment. The Farm Bureau Warehouse went into receivership on April 18 year and its former manager, Edwin Kummer, faces fraud charges in connection with his operations there. Since the receivership time in April, ment of $5.1500 was too high on his house on which he has a partially completed addition.

Schneider, who resides at the southwest corner of Ruger and Wright roads arid who has 59 acres of farmland within the city, questioned an assessment of $5,200. He said the 59 acres in the city has 45 acres of workable land.

Laird, said today he will continue to give Congress an opportunity to vote for less government spending final action is taken on various appropriation bills, Unless Congress cuts government Laird said, there is little chance of any tax reduction proposals being passed.

Last week the House rejected, 214-173, a motion by Laird to cut $40 million from the $880.8 million for the National Institutes of Health. In.stead, both the House and Senate agreed to the $880.8 million recommended by a Senate- House conference committee, even though it was about $100 million more than asked for by President Kennedy. Laird, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, said he will make similar moves when other conference reports come berore tha house on appripria- tions for er governmental agencies. "I am going to embark on a program to give Congress a chance to vote to reduce these costs," Laird said. He said he does not believe Kennedy will ask Congress to reduce taxes at this session.

"The Democratic and Republican leadership of the House Ways and Means Committee has made it clear that President Kennedy cannot continue to send up requests for spending programs and expect them to approve any request he might make for tax reduction at this session of Congress," Laird said. If Kennedy should propose a tax cut and bet turned down. Laird said, "it would do the economy irreparable harm." Some groups in the country. Laird said, are putting the cart before the horse. "Major efforts have to be made in tha field of reducing government expenditure.1 before there will be any serious talk of tax reductions," he said.

"I would back a tax reduction if Congress would reduce expenditures by $5 billion. But a tax cut is out of the question unless Congress cuts spending by $5 billion."

They were the recent two-month trial in Madison Circuit Court for three Chicagoans charged with murdering Deputy James Jantz and attempting to kill Lake Delton Police Chief Eugene Kohl, and the Mauston trial in 1959 of Jane Dakin, 17, charged with slaying her mother and father.

"It is my firm he said, "that the dignity and decorum of the court did not anything it was enhanced" (by the presence of newsmen). "It is my further opinion that the presence of news media had no detrimental effect on any of the necessary participants of the trial. I believe the verdict in both of these trials would have had exactly the same result with or without cameras and microphones," he added.
