Ike's Spending Proposals Put
Him Ahead of FDR, HST Totals
Lrle c. Wilson
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Presi Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt was
what the Broadway crowd would
call a fast man
with a buck.
Tl, - 1
r . jr' a .ucib means uc
p' 'y was a big
Ki ') J FDR's fat
ceaoetime
spending pro
grams of $7 or
$8 billion and
and there
abouts in a
single year panicked the finan
cial community.
President Harry S. Truman
came along after that and set
new spending records. And. now.
President Eisenhower is spend
ing at a peacetime rate which
makes FDR and HST look like
pikers.
On the basis of estimates for
the current fiscal year, the Ei
senhower administration will
have a four-year spending total
of $267.9 billion. That is for
Mr. Eisenhower's first term. He
has begun his second with bud
get estimates for continued big
spending; in fact, record peace
time spending.
FDR served three full terms
and spent in each of them, re
spectively. S29 billion. $37 bil
lion and $306 billion. Mr. Roose
velt's $306 billion tops Mr. Ei
senhower's first term expendi
ture, but FDR's spending was
largely for World War II. Mr.
Roosevelt was in the red every
year during his presidency.
HST Also Had Deficits
Mr. Truman spent $172 bil
lion in the four-year term he in
herited on FDR's death in April,
1945. HST was in the red more
often than not. World War II
spending was being tapered off
then, but not much. Mr. Truman
won a presidential term in his
own right in the 1948 elections
and he loosened the purse strings
thereupon.
In HST's second term, govern
ment cost $223 billion, plus a
considerable accumulation of de
ficit spending which must be paid
sometime by somebody. If Mr.
Eisenhower's spending record is
shadowed a bit by FDR's World
War II spending, the present ad
ministration has a clear spend
ing lead over Mr. Truman.
While he was spending that
$267.9 billion, Mr. Eisenhower
was a busy tax collector. Come
next June 30. which is the end
of the current fiscal year, and
Mr. Eisenhower will have col
lected approximately $263 bil
lion, an enormous sum of money
take of all three Roosevelt ad-
' which is not much under the tax
ministrations put together. The
12-year Roosevelt take was more
than $300 billion.
Mr. Truman collected taxes
with a heavier hand. His eight
year take was more than $395
billion. Mr. Eisenhower will run
his tax take up to about $526
billion in eight years unless he
reduces government costs suf
ficiently to make tax reductions
feasible.
Complaints From Humphrey
Secretary of Treasury George
M. Humphrey is besinnine to
grumble where he can be over
heard that taxes and government
costs must be reduced or else.
The or else, Humphrey believes,
would be a devastating depres
sion. Mr. Eisenhower has a quick
ear for the advice of his secre
tary of treasury, so maybe tax
cuts are coming sometime, but
not soon.
The spending figures put Mr.
Eisenhower right up there with
the New Dealers and Fair Deal
ers as a spender of other peo
ples' money. There is, however,
a difference. Mr. Eisenhower is
no New Dealer on government
deficits. He does not like to
spend borrowed money and he
has put considerable effort into
balancing the federal budget. It
is balanced now.
Mr. Eisenhower has learned
the hard way what others had to
learn before him: That cutting
government expenses is next to
impossible. Few but the old tim
ers around town will recall that
Franklin D. Roosevelt made gov
ernment economy a big issue in
his first presidential campaign.
He was going to reduce govern
ment expenses by 25 per cent,
but he never was able to make
good on that. He decided, in
stead, to spend the country out
of depression. That did not work,
either.
Around Hollywood

ful little man speaking with a
slight foreign accent appeared
at the Pan American Airways
office here recently and inquir
ed about the price of a ticket
to Auckland.
He seemed startled when an
airline representative quoted a
tourist fare of $500 or a first
class rate of $650. His bewilder
ment was such that the airline
representative went on to ex
w lf lone way to
New Zealand nearly 10.000 ,

Doctor Suggests Link
Between Liquor, Cancer
London U.R A British ;
doctor suggested today there,
may be a connection between ,
drinking and cancer. j
Prof. Dr. Ian Air wrote in j
the British medical journal that ;
"cancer of the throat is certain-;
lv commoner in alcoholic sub
jects." He said he would start
an investigation to determine
whether there was any casual ;
relationship.
Hollywood (U.R) Santa Anita i
has "loaned" Joe Frisco the
horse-playing, stuttering comedi-
a n for a
come back to
the movies.
But so far the
morose Joe
sees two draw
backs: Early
hours and
strong cigars.
The old-time
stage and
vaudeville star
is a comics comic, but often a
non-working one. The big stars
from Bob Hope to Jack Benny
break up when they're around
Joe and borrow his gags, but
who gives him roles?
Joe hasn't worked in pictures
since Bing Crosby's "Ridin'
High" nine years ago. But this
year will be Joe's year. He has
a dramatic part in "Sweet Smell
of Success." starring Burt Lan
caster and Tony Curtis. He's
scheduled to play himself in "The
Jazz Age" and to appear in a
movie on Jack Dempsey's life.
Paramount is dickering for his
life story.
To see Joe away from the
horse tracks and before the
camera at Hecht-Hill-Lancaster
Productions is a novelty.
Cigars Too Strong
"They gave me dollar cigars to
smoke in this scene too strong."
mourned Joe. "I asked them to
g-go g-gct me 15-cent cigars.
"And if I could get up at 12
o'clock this would be a wonder
ful job." he said. "These hours
remind me of when I was travel
ing through Kansas playing
nightclubs. I couldn't find a ho
tel so a farmer let me sleep in
his attic if I'd help him with the
chores the next day.
"He raps on the door. It's
d-d-dark. He says, will you help
me for an hour hoeing the pota
toes? I say, what t-time is it?
He says, 3 a.m. What, do you
have to d-do, I say, sneak up on
the potatoes?"
Joe waved his cigar and sipped
on a manhattan for lunch after
his scenes. He had a brandy
eggnog for breakfast, it seems.
Pheasant Under Hubcaps
"Not hungry. Had a big din
ner last night," he explained. "I
ate at the home of some rich
Texan and we had pheasant un
der Jaguar hubcaps."
I asked Joe about his trade
marks horses and stuttering.
"Everybody has a habit and
horses are mine," he said. "You
can't beat the horses, but I love
to play them.
"I've stuttered since I was
little. The kids at school laughed
at me so my mother let me. stay
home a lot."
Joe, who lives alone in a Hol
lywood apartment, looked seri
ous a moment. But then he leap
ed back to his gags.
"Tune in next week and see
if Pinky Lee gets out of the
molasses jar," he rasped.
is That So?
One of the rare pleasures af
forded to those of us who love
animals, come winter, is the 'fine
old literature that goes with our
avocation. Just listen to this:
The Eagle: When thou seest an
eagle, thou seest a portion of j
genius; lift up thy head. William j
Blake, from The Marriage of J
Heaven and Hell. j
The Horse: Honor lives in the
manes of horses. An Arab prov
erb. The As: There is no charac
ter, howsoever good and fine,
but it can be destroyed by ridi
cule, howsoever poor and witless.
Observe the ass, for instance:
his character is about perfect, he
is the choicest spirit among all
the humbler animals, yet see
what ridicule has brought him
to. Instead of feeling compli
mented when we are called an
ass, we are left in doubt. Mark
Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson.
The Owl: Owls have very ex
pressive note; they hoot in a
fine vocal sound, much resem
bling the vox humana, and re
ducible by a pitch-pipe to a musi
cal key. This note seems to ex
press complaceny and rivalry
among the males: they use also
a quick call and an horrible
scream; and can snore and hiss
when they mean to menace . . .

Explosion Resistance Built Into Walls
Chicago (U.R) Structural
engineers have found that resist
ance to nuclear explosions can
be built into clay masonry walls.
The tests were conducted by
the Armour Research Founda
tion of the Illinois Institute of
Technology of Chicago in an
eight-side structure built near
Clay City, 111.
The eight walls, constructed ;
by the Structural Clay Products '
Co., of Geneva, 111., varied in
thickness from an eight-inch wall '
of four-inch brick on four-inch i
concrete brick to a 12-inch solid j
brick wall.
The explosion was equal to the
one in "Operation Cue" in which S

Exotic Plants, Fish
Help Curb Infection
Los Angeles (U.R) Sub
stances from exotic plants, fish
and animals may help prevent
infection in burns and open
wounds, it is believed by two
University of California scien
tists here.
Damaged tissue in burns and
wounds makes it easy for bac
teria to grow. Even antibiotics
ofen fail to preveni such infec
tions. The scientists hope to fight
such infections with enzymes
taken from plants and animals.
Promising enzymes have been
extracted from papaya, tropical
fig trees and pineapple and from
the tissue of tuna fish, cattle
and hogs.
Work on the new treatment is
being done here by Dr. Seth
Willard Smith. Dr. W. G. Clark
of the University of California
Medical School, Los Angeles,
and the Los Angeles Veterans
Administration Center. Their
studies are supported by the U.S.
Army.
The researchers belive that
enzymes will "digest away" the
damaged tissue which favors bac
teria. Enzymes normally break
down complicated proteins so
that living matter can utilize
them as, for example, in the
human stomach where they as
sist digestion.

The Whale: . . . this peaking
of the whale's flukes is perhaps
the grandest sight to be seen
in all animated nature. Out of
the bottomless profundities the

en. ". . . Standing at the mast
head of my ship during a sunrise
that crimsoned sky and sea, I
once saw a large herd of whales
in the east, all heading towards
the sun, and for a moment vi
brating in concert with peaked
flukes. As it seemed to me at
the time, such a grand embodi
ment of adoration of the gods
was never beheld, even in Persis,
