Congress Asked for Mew Millions
To Speed Up 'Conquest off Space
Washington (W Presi
dent Eisenhower asked Con
gress today for new millions
to speed man into space.
He proclaimed "the dawn
ing age of space conquest." He
said the American, people
must prepare to meet its
"promises and dangers." He
cited the recent "Soviet chal
lenges."
In his Budget Message for
fiscal 1959 the President told
Congress:
"Funds are provided for an
expanded (Defense Depart
ment) research and develop
ment effort on military satel
lites and other outer space ve
hicles . . ."
And for the National Ad
visory Committee for Aero
nautics, deeply involved in
"snace vehicles." This new
money, he said, will advance
"flight of manned and unman
ned vehicles beyond the at
mosphere." For a special adjunct of the
office of the defense secre
tary, the newly created Ad
vanced Research Projects
Agency, the President asked
money for direct research and
development work on "such
advanced systems of military
significance as anti-ballistic-missile
systems and certain
space systems, including satellites."
But he urgently asked Con
gress for a $500 million "con
tingency fund" and for au
thority to manipulate $2 bil
lion of the $40 billion mili
tary budget.
He sought this quickly us
able money, free of congress
ional or Budget Bureau re
strains, "in order to take
prompt advantage" of any
new scientific breakthroughs.
If he gets it, and if "import
for unmanned flights to Mars
and Venus and manned flights
around the moon.
Schriever said the Air
Force Thor and Titan missiles
could be rigged to provide
the propulsive power for such
flights. A souped-up Thor, he
said, could power an unman
ant discoveries" turn up, "I
shall not hesitate to use it,"
the President promised.
Conceivably he might feel
constrained to do this in the
near future. Maj. Gen. Bern
ard A. Schriever, Air Force
missile chief, told the Senate
preparedness sub - committee
last Thursday that this coun
try could start preparing now
ned' flight around the moon
at a "relatively early date."
The still untested intercon
tinental Titan, with high
energy second and third
stages, could send a manned
satellite around the moon and the weapons of the future,
back, Schriever said
In his Budget Message, the
President gave no hint as to
what his projected "military
satellites" might be, whether
weapon launching platforms
or "spies in the sky."
But he made it clear that
Ike Recommends Revisions in
Farm Program To Save Money
Washington (IT) Presi
dent Eisenhower today rec
ommended "important" farm
program revisions which he
said will save the taxpayers
S346 million in fiscal 1959.
He proposed a 6.5 per cent
in farm program spending
and held out the prospect of
more significant reductions
in 1960 and later years.
Farm Support Programs
He outlined to Congress a
farm spending budget of $4,
981,000,000, compared with a
Budget Requests
$247 Million To
Train Scientists
Spending Billion
Takes Long Time
Washington IIP) The
budget deals in billions of
dollars nearly 74 bil
lions of dollars.
How much is a billion
dollars?
Here is one illustration:
If a person had started to
spend one dollar every
minute when Christ was
born, he would by now
have spent only about one
billion dollars.
Washington (IP Presi
dent Eisenhower asked Con
gress today to invest $247 mil
lion during the coming fiscal
year to support basic scientific
research and .expand the na
tion's supply of "highly
trained manpower."
He warned in his budget
message that U. S. security
depends "as never before" on
meeting "Soviet challenges"
in science and education.
He proposed an outlay of
$128 million during fiscal
1959 to launch a new four
year program of "science
oriented" federal aid to adu
cation. Basic Research Support
He asked $119 million for
support of basic research, com
pared to $80 million in the
current year.
The President deferred in
definitely his previous re
quest for school construction
grants. He also recommend
ed a sharp cut in the existing
program of aid to school dis
tricts where enrollment has
been swelled by federal activ
ities. He said aid to "federally af
fected areas" should hence-
record $5,327,000,000 in the
current fiscal year. The sav
ings would come principally
on programs for support of
farm prices, for stabilization
of farm income, and in con
trolling production.
He foresaw considerable
savings if Congress accepts
recommendations he will
make for lower support lev
els and for fewer controls. He
said the recommendations
to be spelled out shortly in a
special message "will per
mit the secretary of agricul
ture to establish price sup
ports for basic crops consist
ent with the increased pro
ductive capacity of our agri
culture." .
Burden on Taxpayers
Eisenhower said present
farm programs have "tended
to price key farm commodi
ties as if they were scarce,
stimulating continued pro
duction in excess of the quan
tities that existing markets
can take at these prices." He
said present agricultural pol
icy "places a heavy burden
on taxpayers.
In addition to the antici
pated $346 million savings,
Eisenhower proposed to cut
$100 million off an annual
$225 million agricultural con
servation program of paying
subsidies to farmers for car
rying out conservation meas
ures. This' reduction would
not be reflected before 1960.
The President asked for a
one-year extension of the Ag
ricultural Trade Develop
ment and Assistance act of
1954 with an added authoriza
tion of $1,500,000,000 to fi
nance it. The act has aided in
the disposal of billions of dol
lars worth of .surplus farm
commodities.
like those of the present, will
be nuclear. For fiscal 1959
he budgeted $2,550,000,000
for the Atomic Energy Com
mission. This compared with
an estimated $z,3Uu,uuu,uuu
for the current year and $1,-
990,000,000 for the fiscal
1957.
For New Engines
Most of the atomic increase
forth be restricted tn cases
where families living on tax-
free government property
send their children to local
schools. Proposed cutting ap
propriations for this purpose
from $225 million tj $130 mil
lion, with further reductions
in future years.
Details of the new aid to
education program had been
announced previously by the
White House. After it was in
full operation, the program
would cost about $250 mil
lion a year, but first year
spending would be only about
half that much.
Eisenhower Asks
Temporary Hike
Of Debt Ceiling
Washington (IP) The pub
lic debt, limited by law to
$275 billion, now stands at
$274,273,000,000. .
President Eisenhower, in
his budget message, estimated
that it will be down to $271,
200,000,000 by the end of the
current fiscal year June 30
and at the same figure again
a year later, when the 1958
59 fiscal year ends.
But in the meantime, he
said in his budget message,
the $275 billion ceiling should
be "revised upward tempo
rarily" to meet "rising de
fense expenditures" and to
provide "more flexibility to
permit efficient and econom
ical debt management."
The government would be
likely to hit the present debt
ceiling before April income
tax payments replenish its
coffers.
Represented by Bonds
The public debt is made up
of all the money the govern
ment borrows when it is run
ning in the red. The debt is
represented by bonds and
other U.S. securities held by
individuals, banks and other
investors.
The law fixing a ceiling on
the debt was . passed after
World War II, with Sen. Har
ry F. Byrd (D.-Va.) now chair
man of the Senate Finance

In the case of Navajo Dam,
Dart of the Upper Colorado
project, the budget proposed
that the $1,500,000 already
appropriated for it should be
transferred to Flaming Gorge
in Utah. Construction on the
latter, also part of Upper
Colorado, is now underway.
Despite the generally tight
er picture in water resource
development the budget
recommended full speed
ahead on two major projects
presently under costruction.
It asked for $35 million ior
Upper Colorado's Glen Can
yon Dam and $37 million for
the Trinity division of the
Central Valley Project in
California.
At the same time it said
the Interior Department plans
to discontinue 1,500 jobs dur-
ing the new fiscal year, 900 of
them in the Reclamation
Bureau. Interior officials
said, however, that in most
cases it would be a matter of
not filling vacancies for posi
tions which are no longer
needed.
Dmo. Opposition Expected
The water resource pro-
posals were almost certain to
bring quick and unfriendly
reaction from Democrats in
Congress. Even . before the
budget was finally drafted
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney
(D-Wyo.) said he would fight
for funds from unnecessary
foreign aid spending to fi
nance it.
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson
fD-Wash. a member of the
Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, said that if the budget
did not request funds for the
t. a w e r Monumental ana
Little Goose projects he
would do "everything in my
power" to get congressional
appropriations for them. Mag
nuson said they are "essen-
tial" parts of the Columbia
Basin system.
But the President offered
his budget recommendations
to Congress confident that the
money already circulating in
the water resource program
coupled with the suggested
new appropriations would be
sufficient.
Eisenhower pointed out
that a total of $210,000,000
was provided in fiscal 1956,
1957, and 1958 to start work
on 407 new projects having
