Reductions in agriculture department are expected

WASHINGTON UPI —Administration farm officials today were prepared to slash new spending commitments for the rest of the 1967-68 fiscal year by roughly $213 million below previous budget levels. The cutbacks, part of a gov-ernment-wide reduction of 10 per cent in “controllable” programs outside the defense budget, will involve reductions in Agriculture Department activi-

ties including farm credit, water shed and forest development, conservation subsides and the school lunch program. The economy program technically calls for a cut of about $380 million in spending obligations by the Agriculture Department before the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 1968. Old and New But only some $213 million of cut is "new” because the agen-

cy was allowed, under a congressional economy resolution, to count a previously order $167 million reduction in its over seas food aid budget as part of the new cut. The food aid reduction was made by Congress last fall in the process of approving the department’s basic 1967-68 budget. Cancellation of $213 million in new spending obligations may result in slashing actual Agriculture Department spending during the current fiscal year by roughly $123 million. The two figures differ because spending commitments made during a fiscal year—such as

approvals of rural electric loans —often do not result in actual payment of government dollars until a latter year. The cut of approximately $213 million in new obligations was to be distributed as follow sunder tentative plans prepared by department officials: FHA: $50 Million Cut —Farmers Home Administration: A cut of about $50 million in direct loans in programs including farm ownership and operating credit, and soil and water development credit. The move will rot affect FHA’s larger programs of insuring

farm loans made with private capital. —Rural Electrification Administration: A cut of about $45 million in commitments for electric and telephone loans. —Soil Conservation Service: A cut of about $27 million, applied mainly to watershed development projects. — Agricultural conservation payments: A slash of about $24 million in this program of I cost-sharing subsidies to farmi ers. —Agricultural Research Service: A reduction of about $25 million “saved” by deferring

scheduled construction of new laboratories. —Forest Service: A cut of about $21 million, mostly in funds for new forest roads and trails.

COLD DIP AUZURN, N Y. TIPI —Carl Bickman, 61, a vegetable farmer, took his annual New Year’s Day swim in Owasco Lake Monday with the temperature 14 degrees. Bickman, who has been taking the swim for more than 30 years and finishing his frolic by eating a dish of ice cream while sitting on a cake of floating ice,

said he was a fit tie disappointed the weather was not colder. Normally, the temperature is below zero when Bickman takes his swim. He and four persons who joined him this year had to pass up the ice cream eating because the only ice floating in the 38-degree water was too far out to reach.
