No Nuclear Blast
As Plane Crashes
NEW YORK 11 A plane car-
rying a nuclear weapon has
crashed in the United States but
there was no explosion because
fire and shock don't trigger atom
ic arms in the condition in which
they're transported, the New York
Times said Monday in a Wash
ington dispatch.
The Times said the report from
the federal government reassured
the British, who have been wor
ried that their island might be
wiped off the map if one of the
Air Force's b o m b a r s should
crash while carrying an atomic
bomb.
The Incident was explained
away at the time as a routine
crash in which the plane had been
destroyed by fire, the Times add
ed. Tha explanation given was that
fire and shock cannot trigger the
air borne atomic weapon in the
condition in which it is normally
transported. The arming technique
that gets things ready is done with
the plane in flight but only if that
is the intent of the crew.

Two - Thirds
Sum Stressed To Meet
Growing Soviet Threat
By ED CREAGH
WASHINGTON tfl President Eisenhower sent Cowries
today a record peacetime budget just short of 74 billion
dollars. He said by far the largest part of it, almost two
thirds, is for defense against growing danger from Rus
sia in "the dawning age of space conquest."
The President disclosed that the government now expects
to wind up in the red for the fiscal year ending June 30.
He announced his intention to ask for a short-term increase
he didn't say how much in the present 275-hillion-
dollar limit on the national debt.
Five-Cent Letter
Postage Biggest
Budget Surprise
WASHINGTON ( The big
gest surprise in history's biggest
peacetime budget is a 5 cent
stamp. President Eisenhower
would have it replace 3-cent post
age on inter-city letters.
Eisenhower told Congress Mon
day he is depending on, this and
other increases in postal rates to
put the federal government back
into black ink in fiscal 1959.
His budget message estimated
the postage rate increases would
add 700 million dollars to federal
revenues in the year starting next
July 1.
Since the prospective surplus for
that year is just 500 million dol
lars, a refusal by Congress to ap
prove the new rates would mean
a 200 million dollar federal deficit.
With most of the remainder of
his domestic program publicized
in advance. Eisenhower had been
expected to renew hia request for
postal increases along lines of
those passed last year by tha
House and now awaiting action in
the Senate.
Doasn't Eras All Deficit
The bill calls for a 4-cent rate
on all first class mail, local or
inter-city, and higher rates for
advertising matter, parcels, news-
Daoers and magazines, it sun
would leave a large deficit, and
Eisenhower told Congress:
' The pending legislation should
be amended, primarily by estab
lishing a 5-cent letter rate on all
except local letters. This is more
than tht 4-cent rate I recommend
ed last year for both local and
other letters, but it is needed to
take account of the (postal) pay
increase and otner nigner costs.
". . . With the postal pay ad'
juslmenta which are being recom
mended fa 160 million dollar in
crease), the postal deficit still will
ba substantial.

But he voiced confidence busi-
ness will pick up and tax receiDts
will increase so that the new S73.

liscal year, will be in balance.
He said he expects a surplus of
half a billion dollars or so mm.
pared with the 400-million-dollar
deficit now In sight for this year.
One surprise in tha President's
proposals for government spend
ing and revenue - collecting: He
called for a 5-cent postage rate
on all out-of-town first-class let
ters. Congress so far has rejected
even his previous call for raising
stamp prices from 3 to 4 cents
for local and out-of-town letters
alike.
Mara For Pentagon
lake the earlier message, to
day's budget put heaviest empha
sis on security matters with a
$39,800,000,000 request for the
armed forces alone. With this ex
pected boost, almost two billion
dollars higher than last January's
estimate, Eisenhower asked -
1. A $3,800,000,000 a t e p u p in
spending for missile and nuclear
weapon research and production.
This would give th Pentagon an
extra $1,300,000,000 to spend as
soon as the monev was innnmri.

2. A 500-millinn.flnllsr. 1
fund to rush development of any

field, together with authority to

within the armed services "in or

new developments."
3. For foreign military and re
lated aid, $3,868,000,000 to be sDent
in the coming fiscal year. This is
a 119-miuion-dullar increase nvpr
the current figure. The proposal
looks like one of the hottest issues
uj come Deiore the new Congress.
Cutbacks Also Asked
All told, the . President' new
budget calls for 1958-59 spending
at more than a billion dollars over
the current rate, even allowing for
recent speedups in missile and
other weapons programs. The cur
rent spending nroffram nmninn nt
$72,800,000,000 a year, is the high
est in American iverpiima hit..-..
Eisenhower called for cutbacks
as well as increases in the new
budget. For the armed forces he
recommended a l-billion-dollar
slash in manpower, installations
and blder-typo weapons, including
B02 bombers and some other air
craft. He proposed "curtailments,
revisions or eliminations" of
many nonmilitary programs, rang
ing from federal payments to
farmers to expenditures for war
veteran services and benefits.
Ne Tax Increases
As the White Houu lor.,i
earlier, no general tax increases
are proposed. Eisenhower suggest
ed, in fact, some tax mia in ,a
small business, while recommend
ing higher taxes on aviation fuels
to redurt the cost to the govern

Jet Plane Rocket New
Plan Of Russia, Report
VIKNNA 1 Radio Bucharest
said today Russia "as perfected a
"jet-plane earth satellite" which
will go into production shortly.
The Romanian radio said t h e
new plane's turbo engines and
rocket motors develop a thrust of
more than 100,000 horsepower and
give it a speed of seven to eight
kilometers (4.3 to 5 miles) per
second enough to turn the plane
into an earth satellite at great
heights.
Jet-satellite's return to earth is
to be achieved by "counter-action
rockets," the radio announced.
The broadcast did not say whether
the craft would be manned.
