er figure. There may well be another roll call vote. Odds appear that the House will go along with the appropriations subcommittee. In this issue, President Johnson finds the American Farm Bureau Federation lined up with him a situation which has not existed on other farm legislation passed by Congress this year. Active in the effort to retain the higher figure is the National Limestone Institute, a trade organization of limestone processors who sell to farmers getting benefits under the program.

In his budget report, the President said $120 million was sufficient to -share with farmers the "cost of high priority conservation practices." This quite obviously would rule out payments on line. The conservation program has been in effect since 1936. In the beginning, $500 million was provided annually for conservation payments. Sentiment In favor of the $220 million authorization runs strong at the Agriculture Department despite Johnson's recommendation for a reduction of $100 million.

MOTHER'S DAY "EXTRA SPECIAL" By OVID A. MARTIN Associated Press Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The next big farm vote in Congress is likely to center on a budget proposal by President Johnson that funds for the agricultural conservation program for the 1965 crop year be limited to $120 million compared with $220 million this year. This money is used by The Agriculture Department to make cost-sharing payments to farmers for carrying out approved, soil and voter conservation practices and measures, including liming of land, building of ponds and dams and terracing of land. Efforts were started by President Dwight D. Elsenhower to reduce funds for this program, but Congress has consistently voted around $220 million a year, exclusively of administrative expenses.

President John F. Kennedy, like Eisenhower, recommended reductions, but lost. Johnson made a similar request in his budget message. Farm leaders, fully expect the House Appropriations Committee to put the $22 million figure in the Agriculture Department appropriation bill expected to be reported to the House late this week. But opponents are planning to make a floor fight for the low- Poplar Grove AIRS.

Enry SctiHiy 7 HOW SINCERE ARE YOUR GIFTS AND GOOD WISHES ON MOTHER'S DAY FOR YOUR MOTHER, WIFE AND FAMILY? GOOD THOUGHTS FOR THIS OCCASION SHOULD BE BACKED BY GOOD ACTS WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Department has made outright cash grants totaling $2,831,000 so far this fiscal year to about 3,500 low-income rural families for repair of their homes. The grants went to families deemed unable to repay loans for such repairs.

The grants, averaging about $810 each, went mostly to elderly farm families in Kentucky. The amount of the grants to recipients in this state was $1.32 million. I WASHINGTON (AP) Farm leaders are pessimistic regarding prospects of increasing exports of U.S. beef. President Johson, concerned about low cattle prices in this country, has sent a mission of cattle industry leaders and Agriculture department officials to Western Europe to look into the possibilities of opening up new markets.

Last year, this country exported only one-fifth of 1 per cent of its beef and veal production. Standing In the way of sizeable increases In foreign sales is the level of U.S. prices. Few countries have consumer income levels that would enable them to buy much U.S. beef, the bulk of which is of higher quality than that normally moved in foreign trade.

There ought to be a sign in gilt letters on a certain door in the heart of Tin Pan Alley.

And it might say "Irving Caesar, Lyricist." And underneath might be written the caption "From Tea for Two' to "Safety fo-AU." That would be a nutshell history of Irving Caesar who wrote lyrics for "No No Nanette," the most successful musical comedy in theatrical history, and who has just written a collection of songs for children entitled "Sing a Song of Safety." It is a long time from the night that Caesar and Vincent Youmans wrote "Tea for Two" because Chey going to a party at Beatrice Lillie's house and they had exhausted their repertoire of songs and felt that they needed a new one. "Tea for Two" sold in the millions. Since then Caesar has written a host oi song hits, the latest one "Is It True-What They Say About Dixie" which he w-ote with Gerald Hdw does "Sing a Song oi Safety" fit into the picture? Caesar admits that it has pjzzled some of his friends. "As a matter of fact," he says, "Conversations run something like this;" Old Friend: "Well Irving, written any new songs lately?" Caesar: (Casually) "Oh yes. Got a little number called "A Goof Plays On the Roof." Old Friend: (politely) "Yes?" Caesar: "And I've got a sure hit with "Stay Away from the Railroad Tracks." Old Friend: (puzzled) "Ohl" Irving Caesar hasn't deserted Tin Pan Alley, Not by a long shot.

But as one oi its outsiaiding people who has risen from New York's East Side to membership on the board of directors of the American Society for Composers, Authors and publishers, and to the presidency of the Song Writers' Protective Association, he feels that he owes somrfhing of a debt to society. And he is paying it off in part by the3e safety songs which ought to make life in the tenement districts from which he came as well as in the country at large, safer for millions of children.
