-Daily Herald photo LBJ Submits please the conservative, social reforms to attract the liberal and the $11 billion tax cut to tantalize anyone that might be left. Johnson said, however, that "a government that is strong, a government that is solvent, a government that is compassionate is the kind of government that endures." The President outlined his spending plans in terms of both the familiar administrative budget and the cash budget, newly emphasized by Kennedy last year. The cash budget takes account of collections and payments by the Social Security and Highway trust funds. These items are not included in the administrative budget and some economist consider the cash budget more realistic. Adopts JFK scrap heap.

Johnson is not expected to be any more successful than his predecessor in getting health care for the aged financed by Social Security. His adopted major proposals for a national service corps, a youth conservation corps, federal aid for public grade and high schools, and assistance for big city transit systems face the same trouble as during Kennedy's administration-not enough votes. Easier Going Some of the lesser requests may find easier going. Examples could be an $11 million increase in funds for nursing education, a $5 million expansion of the Hill-Burton Hospital Construction program, and a broadening of the existing library services program. Part of the Johnson legislative program is directly tied to his plan for financing new programs by cutting back old ones.

He can expect fights in trying to get new, less costly, cotton and dairy price support legislation, authority for the Rural Electrification Administration to reuse its loan collections, to refuse its loan collections, and new taxes on air freight and fuel used by jet planes and river boats and barges. Johnson also served notice he would seek another in the long line of extensions of Korean War excise taxes, and possibly two boosts inline national debt ceiling. The debt ceiling increase could be a real struggle.

GODWIN WASHINGTON (UPI)- President Johnson today asked Congress to approve a fiscal 1965 spending budget for the Agriculture Department $1.1 billion below this year's figure. The agriculture budget cut was the largest for any government agency except the Defense Department.

Johnson put a price tag of $5.8 billion on farm programs in the new fiscal year starting next July 1. This compares with estimated spending of $6.9 billion for the current 1964fis- cal year. The hefty saving is based largely on the current wheat program and anticipated cotton and dairy legislation, and could evaporate easily. 'About $53 million of the budget reduction reflects the lower price the Agriculture Department expects to pay to subsidize wheat shipments abroad under the Food for Peace program and the international wheat agreement. Farmers Spurn Control Last year, wheat farmers turned down the administration's proposed 1964 wheat control program.

As a result, wheat price support in 1964 will drop to about $1.25 per bushel which is expected to approximate the world price. Under such a price, the government will be able to ship abroad as much wheat as before, but it will cost fewer dollars to do so. There would be little or no export subsidy to pay. But pending legislation to keep wheat income from dropping could nullify the proposed budget saving. Likewise, there is no certainty that administration plans for dairy and cotton legislation designed to save $230 million in farm program costs will be approved by Congress.

Johnson told Congress that the cost of agricultural programs in fiscal 1965 were estimated at $5.1 billion, down $1.3 billion from 1964. The estimated expenditures for the department itself, however, are higher because the agency administers some spending that is not strictly agricultural such as the Forest Service, school lunch and food stamp programs. One proposed reduction in agricultural spending would stem from changes in the rural housing loan program of the Farmers Home Administration. The (FHA) changes would require congressional approval of legislation to insure private credit for rural housing. Proposed legislation to finance directly the full cost of meat, poultry, and grain inspection activities through a system of fees would bring about another reduction in spending.

Collections from these proposed fees were estimated at $49 million in fiscal 1965. Still another reduction would be through "increased efficiency and reduced personnel requirements." The President estimated Agriculture Department employment would decline from 116,800 at the end of fiscal 1964 to 115,376 by the end of fiscal 1965. Johnson devoted comparatively little of his budget message to farm problems. But he promised he would shortly transmit to Congress his recommendations for agricultural legislation, including cotton and dairy proposals.

21t3 Holt Cigoret Soles At 4 State Hospitals HARRISBURG (UPI) State Health Secretary Charles L. Wilbar has ordered cigarette sales stopped at four statehos- pltals which treat tuberculosis. A directive issued Monday bans coffee shop and snack bar cigarette business at Mercy JHospitalr'Cresson; Dixon-Hos- jpltal, South Mountain, and Lan- dls Hospital, Philadelphia. "It's inconsistent that we should permit cigarettes to be sold in hospitals by the state Health Department when the department is advising people to discontinue smoking cigarettes," WUbar said. The department launched an anti-smoking campaign well in advance of the Surgeon General's report which contended there is a link between smoking and lung cancer.

In another development, a top legislator, a smoker himself, called on the Joint State Government Commission to open a study of what the state Is doing to publicize the smoking situation. House Minority Leader Anthony J. Petrosky. D- Westmoreland, made the plea in a letter to Rep. Baker Royer, R-Lancaster.

commission chairman. "It is apparent there is a need for greater attention to this problem by the Department of Public Instruction, the Department of Health and enforcement agencies," Petrosky said. Public Welfare Secretary Ar- lln M. Adams said action similar to the Health Department ban is being considered for general and mental hospitals under his agency's jurisdiction.

Pennsylvania has the capital, resources, production capacity and human talent to make It a great state, It was noted. Mrs.

Thomas discussed Imports, which are generally the same as imports throughout the United States, and exported products. Among the exports she listed Stetson bats, which are made in Philadelphia; full-fashioned hosiery, made at the largest plant of its kind in the world, at Reading; canned goods made possible by the beginning of tin plate production at Pittsburgh; and a special type of cream cheese made at Philadelphia.
