PETERSBURG, April 10 (Special) Don't look for Congress to make any further major tax reductions in this session, Sen. Spessard L. Holland said today. Speaking before the convention of the Florida Bankers' Association here, Holland said there were some minor reductions in the pending general tax revision bill.

But, he added, one of the toughest problems facing Congress is how to cut expenditures while also cutting taxes. "Substantial reductions in appropriations are already necessary to offset losses in revenue," he said. "Deficit Spending" "Any effort to further slash taxes without compensating reductions will only plunge us deeper into deficit spending," he asserted. "I vigorously opposed that reckless policy under a Democratic administration and it certainly doesn't look any better to me under a Republican regime," Holland declared. Holland said some in revenue already has been lost through tax reductions in this session.

If the budget is to be balanced, big reductions would have to be made in foreign aid and military spending, Holland said. But he saw the possi bility of a cut in military spending as unlikely in view of the Indochina fighting and "our situation still unsettled in Korea. Praises Highway Bill Holland praised the passage of the $1,000,000,000 federal highway aid bill, which will provide government funds to states in 1956 and 1957. He forecast a big fight over proposed changes in the Taft-Hartley law. He said he wants to see each state again handle labor disputes under its own laws when the health and safety of its citizens are at stake, particularly in the case of public utility labor disputes.

He praised Secretary of Agriculture Benson for his courage in pushing a flexible farm price support program despite opposition "from senators in his own party." "I realize a majority of our Southern congressmen and senators are backing a continuation of the present rigid farm support program, but it doesn't make sense to" me to continue this costly, wasteful and impractical system," Holland asserted. Noting the rigid program was a wartime measure, he said it was bringing "destruction to the very cause it is tryjng to serve because it is piling up huge and spoiling surpluses." relighting banked furnaces because of a pickup in new orders, word "courage" in his admirers recent days appeared convinced that the business dip is at, or six men arrested in the roundup of Anthony's alleged narcotics and "arrogance" in his detractors McCarthy seems to care little That's just the tonic the industry the words "true American" in' ring. about clothes and is known to dis- needs.

PETERSBURG, April 10 W) The Florida Bankers Association today proposed a commodity futures exchange for citrus and citrus juices as a means of helping stabilize citrus prices. Trader now on commodity exchanges are such items as lard, butter, grains, coffee, cotton. The bankers' idea of setting up commodity trading in citrus will be presented to directors of Florida Citrus Mutual at Lakeland April 21. The Florida Canners Association has been invited to have representatives at the conference. Cooperation Needed George Ware, Leesburg banker who for several years has backed the idea of commodity trading in citrus, says "all that is required will be sufficient interest and cooperation on the part of the citrus industry to justify the start." The major commodiy exchanges in New York and Chicago have been contacted and they expressed an interest in providing futures trading, he said.

Futures trading serves to bring stability to prices of commodities by eliminating or minimizing the effects of wide swings in prices occasioned by seasonal fluctuation or production demands. the group construction soared to a record a god," he "look to Varner as said.

Then he pleaded guilty today to the lesser charge and was sentenced. Alberts said he and State Agent Robert Blair had been investigating the strange congregation for about six weeks.

"Men in all areas of our national life have begun to speak out," Humphrey told the 17th annual meeting of Americans for Democratic Action. "The President of the United States has described himself as a good friend of a distinguished commentator whom the junior senator from Wisconsin has tried to depict as a sinister subversive." Humphrey obviously referred to CBS Commentator Edward R.

Murrow, with whom McCarthy has been embroiled in a dispute. Humphrey did not mention by name Bishop Bernard Shiel of the Roman Catholic Church, who Friday castigated McCarthy as a "man on horseback" who is threatening the nation's freedoms. But Humphrey said, "Just look at your morning newspapers in the City of Chicago today. The men of great stature and in high positions are beginning to take their stand and are speaking out against the big lie." He defined the "big lie," as being "lost in the turbulence of demogoguery."

Interest rates are down, bank reserves are plentiful. Two Episcopal Church leaders said today they have been swamped with letters bitterly condemning them for their attacks on the methods of Senator McCarthy. Dean Francis B.

Sayre, of the Washington, D. Episcopal Cathedral, and Dean James A. Pike, of New York's Cathedral of St. John the Devine, said many of the letters were obscene and anonymous. In the current issue of the Episcopal Church News, Dean Sayre said the reaction to his anti McCarthy sermon was "enormous and frightening," with about 85 per cent of the letters backing McCarthy.

"I have been hit with obscene and vitrolic letters, many of them from businessmen and lawyers, with some, of course, from crackpots," he said. Dean Pike said "an alarming thing in many of the letters is the manner with which the writers placed McCarthy as a leader with almost religious devotion. It certainly indicates fanatical support." The two pastors, in a exchange of pulpits last March 21, both delivered sermons criticizing the Wisconsin senator's activities. Dean Sayre said that when he gave a similar sermon a year ago, that of 1100 letters, only about 30 per cent backed McCarthy, but that now the percentage backing McCarthy was nearly three times that. "The change in a year's time indicates that creeping fear has advanced to a dangerous proportion," he said.

Source of That Whisky Smell In Postoffice Found WANTAGH, N. April 10 UPi For the past month it smelled as if everyone was in "high spirits" around the local postoffice. There was a definite whisky smell in the air and the clerks took a daily ribbing. The smell was cleared up yesterday when police and federal agents raided a three-story frame house across the street.

Nobody was home but they found a 1000-gallon still with coils running through holes in each floor from basement to attic. A woman who owns the house said she rented it six weeks ago "to the nicest couple." But in McCarthy's ambition, his friends see only a wholesale American trait.
