Set IRS Bond Issue Rate 60 Cents For Each $1,000 Equalization If St. Clair County taxpayers approve a bond issue for construction of the Internal Revenue Service automatic data processing center, they will pay 60 cents on each $1,000 of assessed valuation as equalized for the first two years of a 20-year bond issue, County and City officials said Thursday.

The House dealt the President a severe blow Thursday night by rejecting his, farm bill on a roll-call vote of 215 to 205.

It left the administration faced with the problem ot whether to try to concoct a bill less objectionable to farmers or give up any attempt to enact farm legislation this year. Kennedy seemed on the verge of victory just before he lost his fight to impose tight production controls on.almost all grain growers, starting next year. When the chips were down, the White House could not hold enough Democrats in line. Forty-eight Democrats defected and voted with Republicans to scuttle the bill. Only one Republican Rep.

Phil Weaver of Nebraska supported Kennedy. A White House statement issued by Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said the GOP would have to bear responsibility for "the continuing chaos" in farm surpluses. It said the defeat would cost U.S. taxpayers an additional $1 billion' next year. But the American Farm Bu-i reau, leading opponent of Kenne-j dy's bill, hailed the vote as aj "victory for farmers, consumers; and taxpayers." It said "the only: losers were the political empire1 builders in Washington." 4W OF THE SUMMER SEASON THE START OF THE Bayview Yacht Club's Port Huron-Mackinac sailboat race highlights of the summer season in Port Huron.

Eisenhower to rip into the Kennedy administration's domestic program tonight at a $300,000 fund-raising dinner. Aides of Rep. Boh Wilson of California, chairman of the Republican congressional campaign committee, reported an advance sellout of 3,000 seats for the $100-a-plate dinner to be held on two floors of a local hotel.

Of the funds raised, 75 per cent will go to House and 25 per cent to Senate candidates. Eisenhower, who seems to be enjoying a political role more than he ever did while in the White House, has emerged as the single national figure around whom all Republicans seem able to rally in their efforts to regain control of the House in the November elections.
