Ikes Proposal To
Russia Includes Ban
On Space Weapons
Washington OPi The
Senate disarmament chairman
today hailed President Eisen
hower's proposal to Russia for
c. prompt ban on testing and
production of space weapons.
The new U.S. proposal was
made in the President's letter
to Soviet Premier Nikolai Bul
ganin Sunday. The President
also left the door open for a
"summit" meeting with Rus
sia if preliminary talks indi
cate such a conference might
produce results.
Sound Proposal
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey
(D-Minn.) told the United
Press the Chief Executive's
space ban plan represents a
"broadened dimension" of pre-1
vious American disarmament
proposals "and i sound one,
too."
Humphrey, chairman of the
Senate foreign relations sub
committee on disarmament,
said he was "not surprised"
that Eisenhower's reply to
Bulganin was "more positive
than expected."

President Truman appeared
today to have closed the door
to his possible participation
in a White House conference
on foreign policy by making
a particularly derogatory at
tack on President Eisenhower.
Truman who is in New
York for a scries of speaking
engagements, said Sunday
that he would "have to find
out what the program is" be
fore he would accept an invi
tation to join other Demo
cratic and Republican leaders
in the conference being plan
ned under the chairmanship
of Eric Johnston.
Truman told reporters Sun
day he thought Eisenhower
was neither "a good policy
maker" nor "a good budget
maker." He conceded that the
President has been "a great
militarv commander in Eu
rope and in NATO when he
had ome one to tell him what
to do."
'Who told him what to do?
Truman was asked.
'The commander in chief,"
he replied.
"You were the commander

asked.
"Yes." Truman said.

said he hoped "the same spirit
will permeate the State De
partment and the secretary
(Secretary of State John Fost
er Dulles)."
The President, in a surprise
offer in his letter to Bulganin,
proposed "that we agree that
outer space should be used
only for peaceful purposes."
Noting that both Russia and
this country now are using
space to test military missiles,
he said:
"The time to stop is now."
Recalling this country's fruit
less offer 10 years ago to in
ternationalize all atomic arms,
the President told Bulganin
the world now faces "another
choice perhaps even more mo
mentous . . ."
Will Increase Capacity
"There are about to be per
fected and produced powerful
new weapons which, availing
of outer space, will greatly in
crease the capacity of the nu
man race to destroy itself,"
the President said.
". . . Can we not stop the
production of such weapons
which would use or, more ac
curately, misuse, outer space,
now for the first time opening
up as a field for man's ex
ploration? Should not outer
sDace be dedicated to the
peaceful uses of mankind and
denied to the purposes of war?
"That is my proposal."
Informed sources said the
President envisages a ban on
both production and testing
of long-range ballistic missiles
and future space weapons, but
only if guaranteed inspection
procedures are agreed on to
prevent violations.

Auto Workers To
Demand Share
f -
Company Profits
General Increase
In Wages Included
Detroit OP) The United
Auto Workers International
Executive board announced
today ft will demand a share
of profits instead of a shorter
work week from auto com
panies this year.
The board said its profit
sharing program would split
up profits above 10 per cent
on net capital among com
pany executives, stockholders,
salaried and hourly workers
and consumers.
General Wage Boost
In addition, the bargaining
program the board will
recommend to the union's
special 1958 contract conven
tion here Jan. 22-24 will in
clude a general wage increase
and a demand that the supple
mental unemployment bene
fit plan be extended to a full
year.
The board said its previ
ously announced goal of a
four-day work week was
dropped in favor of the profit
sharing plan because of the
general economic recession
and the "need for increased
consumer buying power."
Under the profit sharing
plan, executives and stock
holders would get one-half of
the profits in excess of 10 per
cent on investments, salaried
and hourly rated workers
would get one-fourth and con
sumers would get one-fourth
in the form of a rebate on pur
chases. Based On Productivity
The general wage increase
which the board recommend
ed will be based on increased
productivity and will be high
er than the present productiv
ity increase formula of 2V2
per cent or 6 cents an hour,
whichever is higher.
The board also recommend
ed that the 19 cents an hour
cost of living allowance cur
rently paid to most auto work
ers be written into the basic
wage rate.
Here's how the profit shar
ing plan would work in a
hypothetical case:
10 Per Cent Deduction
If a company's net capital
investment is $200 million
dollars and its profits before
taxes are $50 million, the
company would deduct 10 per
cent of the investment, or $20
million from the profits to
leave $30 million in excess
profits.
Half of the $30 million
would go to the company for
executive bonuses and stock
holders; one fourth would go
to wage and salaried em
ployees, excluding executives
eligible to participate in the
executive bonus plan, and the
remaining one fourth would
go to consumers as rebates on
cars they bought during the
year.

Would Be Spent
In Fiscal 1959
Mixed Reaction
Shown In Congress
Washington (W Presi
dent Eisenhower laid before
Congress today the biggest
peacetime spending budget itt
the nation's history.
The President proposed
spending $73,90,000,000 in fis
cal 1959, including funds to
meet the nation's needs in
"the dawning age "of space
conquest."
He estimated that this could
be done without putting the
government in the red or
raising taxes.
Congress received the budg
et with mixed reaction.
Republicans and Democrats
alike agreed that Congress
will support whatever defense
expenditures are necessary to
meet Russia's space-age chal
lenge. But many were frank
ly skeptical that a balanced
budget could be achieved,
much less the $500 million
surplus predicted by the Presi
dent for the fiscal year which
starts July 1.
Some members expressed
relief that the spending figure
was not bigger. Others, nota
bly Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.)
expressed disappointment that
the President had trimmed
only $600 million from non
defense spending. Byrd called
it a "reckless" budget.
The congressional mood ap
peared to be: Billions for de
fense but economy elsewhere.
Some congressmen frankly
predicted, however, that Cort
gress, with an eye to the No
vember elections, is not likely
to come up with any substan
tial economies.
Postal Rate Increase
While the President ruled
out a general tax cut or in
crease he asked Congress to
continue present e"xcise and
corporate tax rates for an
other year. And he proposed
a postal rate increase, includ
ing a hike to five cents for
out of town regular letters.
The President alloted $47,
100,000.000 or 64 per cent of
the budget, for "protection"
national security and for
eign aid.
The President said that the
"growing danger" of Russian
progress in missiles, coupled
with Soviet rejection of work
able disarmament, demanded
the big spending. The United
States must show determina
tion to remain "sturdy ... in
the many strengths that keep
the peace," he said.
Stepped-up Spending
He put "priority of nation
al security over lesser needs'?
in both civilian and military
programs. He proposed sharp
ly stepped up spending for
longer-range missiles, nuclear
armed or powered ships, edu
cation and science.
He advocated curtailment,
revision or elimination of civ
ilian programs, such as flood
control; farm aid, housing and
financial aid to states. But he
conceded such savings would
amount to only $600 million
in fiscal 1959 everyf Congress
went along.
He refused to put any mon
ey in the budget for starting
any new reclamation, flood
control or navigation projects.
Small Surplus Seen
Counting on early reversal
of t h e downward economic
trend, the President estimat
ed federal budget receipts in
fiscal 1959 at $74.4 billion.
This would give a precarious
surplus of $500 million.
An originally estimated
surplus of $1.8 billion for this
fiscal year was revised to a
$400 million deficit because
of increased defense spend
ing and because the recent
slowdown in business reduc
ed tax revenues.
He said he will ask Con
gress for another temporary
increase in the debt ceiling
of S275 billion. In some re
cent years Congress has grant
ed a temporary increase of as
much as $6 billion. The debt
now exceeds $274 billion.
A total of $47.1 billion, 64
per cent of the budget, was
allotted for "protection" -national
security and foreign
aid. This was an increase 'of
$800 million over 1958.
Of this "protection" money,
the U. S. armed forces would
get $38.9 billion an increase
of S900 million over this year.
This increase in defense
spending was much smaller
than some military, congres
sional civilian and scientific
leaders have been clamoring
for. The special Rockefeller
panel last week urged an in
crease of $3 billion this year;
to be followed by additional
similar increases in the next
several years.
