WJRL The "Nifty" 1150 1150 on your dial Next Farm VoteBudget Proposal By OVID MARTIN Associated Press Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The next big farm vote in Congress is likely to budget that it funds for the agricultural proposal by President's Johnson 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. Eisenhower 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.

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.

And underneath might be written the caption "From 'Tea for Two' to "Safety for All." 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 It is a long time from the night that Caesar and Vincent Youmans wrote "Tea for Two" because they 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 of song hits, the latest one "Is It True What They Say A bout Dixie" which he wrote with Gerald Marks.

How does "'Sing a Song of Safety" fit into the picture? Caesar admits that it has puzzled some of his friends. "As a matter of fact," he says, "Conversations run something like Old Friend: "Well Irving, written any new songs lately?" Caesar: (Casually) "Oh yes. Got a little number called 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) "Oh!" Irving Caesar hasn't deserted Tin Pan Alley. Not by a long shot, But as one of its outstanding 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 som thing of a debt to society. And he is paying it off in part by these 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.
