WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The Eisen hower .administration plans to spend many additional millions of the tax payers' dollars next year in ways very likely to cramp Demo cratic cam paign p l a n s. The sum will be way over 1,000,000,000. That may be Lyle C. Wilson g00d politics. It may be good national policy. It very well could be both. However that may be, the pro posal to spend additional money on national defense, and for roads, social welfare and, even, foreign aid, will tend to blunt some Democratic presidential campaign issues. The billion dollar hike in na tional defense spending an nounced by Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson is an example. The Eisenhower administration has been criticized for some of its Defense Department econo mies. Wilson's added billion will help Republican campaign ers to answer such criticism next year. Perhaps most important, the Air Force cheering section in Congress will find their pet serv ice getting $700,000,000 of the new money. That, alone, should spike some Democratic cam paign guns. Foreign aid spending is some thing else, again. There is much congressional sentiment to get out of the aid business soon. In stead, Mr. Eisenhower will ask Congress to appropriate $4,900, 000,000 this year against the $3,200,000,000 he asked a year ago and the $2,700,000,000 which Congress voted. Unexpended balances left over from previous appropria tions has enabled the spending of about $4,200,000,000 for for eign aid annually in the past few years. The fat carryover has been eaten up by now and the administration will ask for a lot more money this year than last. But spending will be only $4, 400,000,000 which is not much more than the old rate. Eisenhower foreign policy will come under the hammer in next year's presidential cam paign. The administration is on the defensive although about all the average person would be able to recall vividly would be the monumental disappiontment of the Geneva summit confer ence. When Democrats attack for eign policy, the administration can cite increased appropria tions to purchase goodwill and improve defense muscle m troubled areas. That worked well for former President Tru man in Greece, Turkey and Western Europe. The new money will maintain the steady flow of military aid items and, it is hoped, offset the Commu nist goodwill thrust in the mid dle and Far East. More for Medicine Health, Education and Wel fare Secretary Marion B. Fol som has outlined plans for in creased appropriations for medi cal research and for aid to edu cation. Medical research did not get much last year $97,800,000 Fclsom would increase that by about $24,000,000. That may or may not be enough, but it will provide for more medical re search and is a solid fact for Republican campaign orators to boot. Folsom also wants a consider able increase in federal funds for education. Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson expects a $400,000,000 hike in farm relief, according to unofficial estimates. That would be for soil bank and incentive programs. There are other un official estimates that Benson had better be ready to ante-up about $1,000,000,000 if he wants to calm the corn-hog and other farm belt storms. Highways are going to cost taxpayers a lot of money, but it remains to be seen whether Mr. Eisenhower or the Demo crats will father a road-building program. And so it goes, bigger and bet ter spending. Next year's tax cut is seriously endangered by new spending plans. But it is a presi dential year and tax cuts often can be translated into votes.

The trial of film star Rita Hayworth's breach of contract suit against Columbia Studio resumed today after a tense opening session during which she broke into tears.

Gina Lollobrigida Has Tax Difficulties Rome (U.R) Curvaceous Gina Lollobrigida found herself embroiled today with city tax officials, but so did almost every one else in Rome. It's an old Italian tax custom. City tax figures posted accord ing to law in the Rome City Hall showed the movie actress told the tax men she earned only $4800 for the fiscal year that ended June 30. It was more like $128,000, the tax men said in a counter claim posted along side her reported earnings. But Gina scored a moral vic tory. Her foremost movie rival, Sophia Loren, confessed to earn ing $12,800 but the tax depart ment assessment put it at $30, 000.
