SIXTH AND CENTRAL - Medford's Bargain Corner Washington (U.R) Here is a digest of the main points in President Eisenhower's budget message to Congress. The message sketched his whole legislative program for the year as well as the proposed federal spending budget for the 1958 fiscal year starting next July 1. Income and Outgo: Budget is balanced for third year in a row. Calls for record peacetime spending of $71.8 billion an increase of $2.9 billion over cur rent year. Assuming continued prosperity, revenue is estimated at $73.6 billion, up $3 billion. Prospective surplus of $1.8 bil lion would be applied to reduc tion of federal debt. Taxes: "Must be retained at present rates" to fight inflation Congress should consider "some relief" for small business, with "minimum loss of revenue." No cuts for anybody else. Asked one-year extension of corpora tion and excise levies that are scheduled to drop April 1. Mail: The administration will seek higher postal rates, totaling $654 million a year. Promised better mail service if rates are raised. Interest: Interest on the $275 billion federal debt will cost $7.4 billion or about 10 per cent of whole budget. Although debt is going down, interest rate is going up in tight money market. Debt should be down to $269 billion by June 30, 1958. Defense: Proposed an increase of $2 billion in military spend ing to total of $38 billion Armed forces will remain about the same size but will buy "growing quantities" of costly new weapons to boost firepower. Guided missile procurement up 35 per cent. Air Force will get more B-52 jet bombers to re place B-35s. U. S. Marine di visions are equipped with a "variety" of atomic weapons. Atomic: A spending increase of $400 million to push produc tion of "tactical" weapons for defense and power reactors for peace. Private industry should take the initiative in building atomic power plants; warned that government will if indus try doesn't. Will expand research on harnessing H-bomb reaction for peacetime power. Farm: Proposed a record out lay of $5 billion to support farm prices, meet soil bank payments and otherwise aid farmers. Asked for one-year extension of law permitting sale of farm surpluses for foreign currencies; also new legislation authorizing barter of surpluses with Iron Curtain countries. Farmers who use all the wheat they grow for feed and seed should be - exempted from marketing quotas. A new corn program will be proposed. Foreign Aid: Asked $2.6 bil-' lion for military aid to Allies, the same as this year; $1.8 for economic aid, an increase of $250 million. Program includes $200 million for "Eisenhower Doctrine" aid to .Middle East. Continued aid, like heavy de fense spending, is "simple mat ter of self-preservation." Schools: Congress failed last year to enact his five-year, $1.2 ! billion program of federal aid for school construction. Now he asks that the same program be completed in four years. Ear marked $185 million for a starter. Housing: Five per cent inter est should be permitted on VA home loans. The rate, now peg- i ged by law at 4V4 per cent, won t attract enough lenders in tight money market. The gov ernment should buy more mort gages through Federal National Mortgage Association to provide more funds for home builders. Gas Bill: Recommended that Congress enact a new version of the natural gas bill which he ve toed last year because of "arro gant" lobbying tactics. The "ba sic objective" of vetoed bill to free gas producers from federal public utility-type regulation is desirable. Natural Resources: Renewed his endorsement of Frying Pan Arkansas River development project in Colorado asked "prompt" decision by Congress on developing Niagara power project. Recommended TVA be allowed to sell revenue bonds to finance new power generating facilities. Federal spending on power irrigation reclamation projects would total $1.5 bil lion up $167 million. Veterans: Legislative propos als on veterans benefits being prepared. Although a special commission headed by Gen. Omar N. Bradley recommended cutbacks, the proposals will add $100 million to veterans costs in fiscal 1958. Prospective total next year: $5 billion. - Health: Urged federal aid for medical and dental schools; in creased funds .for medical re search, hospital constructoin, and other health programs; again asked legislation to ex pand and i improve private health insurance programs by authorizing risk-pooling. Children: Proposed federal grants to help train special teachers for mentally-retarded children; also grants to states to combat juvenile delinquency. Welfare: $1.6 billion for fed eral contributions to state public assistance programs which will help 5 million old, infirm and poor people next year. School lunches will cost S100 million in cash. $200 million in farm pro ducts. This is all aside from social security Insurance which will pay oldsters and depend ents $7 billion. Labor: Unemployment insur ance system should be "extend ed and improved." More work ers should be brought under coverage of federal wage-hour law. Pension Plans: Recommended legislation to require federal registration of private employee pension and welfare plans to prevent abuses. Mergers: Wants anti-trust law tightened, with new provision requiring advance notice to gov ernment of proposed business mergers. Small Business: Should be exempted from registration re quirements of Securities and Ex change Commission on stock and bond issues totaling less than $500,000. Highways: New federal high way program, financed by, spec ial taxes, will go into high gear with a proposed outlay of $1.7 billion. This comes out of a separate trust fund. Neither rev enue nor expenses are reflected in the budget. Aviation: Federal aids to av iation will cost $464 million, up 85 per cent. Higher costs reflect efforts to improve airway safety for jet age traffic. It is becom ing "increasingly appropriate" for airlines and other users to help general taxpayers foot these bills. No details given on this hint at user fees. Ships: The budget includes funds for federal aid in con struction of a new deluxe pas senger liner which will be a sister ship to . the SS United States. Winning Friends: Proposed a S42 million boost in funds for foreign exchange programs. trade fairs, other "person to person" contacts with other na tions; also a $40 million in crease for State Department to strengthen its diplomatic staff; $25 million more for U. S. In formation Agency. World Trade: Again asked U.S. membership in the pro posed Organization of Trade Coopera t i o n; legislation to "avoid unfair tax duplicatidns" on U.S. businesses with over seas operations. Immigration: Will send Con gress a special message propos ing changes in immigration laws to help Hungarian refugees and others. Women: "Congress should make certain that women are not denied equal rights with men." Voting Age: Should be low ered to 18 by federal constitu tional amendment. Only two Record Budget Stirs Misgivings Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower's record budget stirred misgivings among some Republicans today and prompted a Democratic charge that Repub lican economy is a myth. "Republicans are giving Demo crats a real lesson in the art of spending while at the same time leading the country , to believe that they are the guardians of the purse strings," Rep. Thomas G. Abenethy (D-Miss.) said. "The Further Testimony Waited in Trial of ish Doctor Eastbourne, England ''.U.R) Chemists, nurses and morticians waited to testify in Magistrates Court today in the case of Dr. John Bodkin Adams, accused of murdering a wealthy widow with "massive overdoses" of narcotics. The 57-year-old Adams is charged with murdering Mrs. Alice Morrell five years ago with huge doses of heroin and morphine. The widow left the doctor a Rolls Royce in her will. Four nurses who cared for the patient testified in the sec ond day of preliminary hearings Tuesday that Adams ordered frequent injections of narcotics, some of which .were adminis tered with a large syringe. Argument Expected The crown was also expected to produce evidence that Adams presented a prescription for morphine in the name of Alfred J. Hullett the day after Hullett died. The prosecution was ex pected to argue Adams needed the morphine to replace an overdose he gave Hullett and which caused his death. Adams is also accused of causing the death of Hullett's wife, who gave the doctor a sports car shortly before she died. After testimony is taken from a long string of witnesses, the court will decide if the crown has enough evidence against the defendant to order him to stand trial for murder. President's budget is cold evi dence that Eisenhower economy is a myth." Abernethy said the President in four years already has spent $39 billoin more than was spent by former President Truman in the four years of the previous administration. "And Truman was fighting a war," Abernethy added. Chairman Harry E. Byrd (D Va.) of the Senate Banking Com mittee said the 1958 budget will result in increased inflation. "The federal government it self is contributing to the infla tion by increasing federal budget expenditures, federal trust fund expenditures and by increased commitments under federal credit programs in which the government insures and guar antees private loans," he said. This, he added, "is volatile and dangerous." 'In times of peace and pros- states Georgia and Kentucky have done this on their own. Territories: Again recom-, mended statehood for Hawaii ' and Alaska, with proviso that , part of Alaska be set aside for defense use. Asked federal vot- ! ing rights and "home rule" for District of Columbia. New Mansion: Asked author ity to acquire an official resi- dence for Vice President Rich- ard M. Nixon, who now lives., in his own private home. ! Judges: urged creation of ad- ditional federal judgeships to ease logjam in courts. Wants au-! thority to appoint younger 1 judge as helper when any fed- : eral jurist reaching 70 won't re-: tire. Slum Clearance: Asked Con- gress to provide another $250 million a year for two years to l continue federal grants lor slum ' clearance. ' . i Public Housing: No new units j proposed ' beyond the 35,000 1 previously authorized. sf FUN when savings earn more! g sp: The generous eornings which we odd &j regularly steps op the rote of growth V:';W: and there s no substitute tor the sotetv and convenience that are yours when you save here. Current Dividend 3h Per Annum FIRST FEDERAL Savings & Loan Association of Medford 29 North Ivy Street R. F. Kyle, President perity, a sound budget requires elimination of non-essential ex penditures to the extent that debt and taxes can be reduced," Byrd said. Sen. Styles Bridges (R-N.H.), ranking Republican on the Sen ate Appropriations Committee, praised Mr. Eisenhower's "em phasis on fiscal integrity" and the fact that the budget is bal anced for the third year. in a row. But he said he "will make every effort to pare it down in every place possible." Rep. Usher L. Burdick (R N.D.) said of the proposed $71.8 billion spending total: "That's more than the country can stand." Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Iowa) con curred in a forecast by Treas ury Secretary George M. Hum phrey that failure to cut spend ing and taxes will insure a de pression. But he asked: "Why wait until next year? What's wrong with going it this year?" Chairman J. William Ful bright (D-Ark.) of the Senate Banking Committee said the budget shows up the administra tion as "hypocrites" for talking about reducing expenses and then proposing a record spend ing program for expenses it knew would be necessary.
