President Asks Tightening Off Executive Money (Belts Augusta, Ga. -JUPD- Presi dent Eisenhower has informed members of his cabinet and federal agency heads that they must make every effort con sistent with national safety and welfare to cut the 1960 budget appreciably below their present estimates. Following the stringent ec onomy theme that dominated much of his recent campaign oratory, the Chief Executive tent orders to department agency heads to plan on furth er financial belt-tightening in the fiscal year ahead. This was disclosed yesterday at the vacation White House here. Grand Canyon Kin Awarded $320,000 Los Angeles -Oil- Two fam ilies of victims of the 1956 Grand Canyon air collision were awarded S320.000 dam ages in, Superior Court Fri day. The jury of 10 men and 2 women awarded $220,000 to the children of William Wal lace Hatcher, 42, Ventura, Calif., an attorney and his wife, Mildred, 40, a teacher. In another case, Mrs. Na dine Nasalroad, a North Hol lywood service station owner. The crash between a Trans World Airlines Constellation and a United Air Lines DC7 on June 30 claimed 128 lives and was the worst air disaster in the history of commercial aviation. Eisenhower's aim was two fold: To pull 1960 federal spending below the 579.200, 000,000 estimated for this fis cal year; and to realize a sub stantial 1960 reduction, possi bly as much as half, in the federal deficit of $12,250,000, 000 estimated for this fiscal year ending June 30. Brakes Some of Eisenhower's key fiscal consultants told United Press International recently that the chief executive was determined to see brakes ap plied to federal spending, the deficit substantially reduced and a check-rein put on the mounting federal debt. He was reported insistent even if this required curtailment of basic programs of govern ment services which could be deferred or dropped until the federal books are more near ly in balance. A balanced budget for fiscal 1960 was regarded as impos sible. House GOP Leader Jo seph W. Martin Jr., said re cently after talking with the President that while Eisen hower wanted spending pulled down sharply, balancing the budget next year would re quire a "hat trick" which the administration would not at tempt. The big financial question mark continued to be the de fense department, expected expenditures for which have been estimated for the current fiscal year at $40,800,000,000. Defease Budget Studied This budget still is under active consideration. Press Secretary James C. Hagerty TURKEY Freshly Dressed All Sizes for baking and canning 5 lbs. for HARTLEY'S 1 Mile North of Talent on Highway 99 PHONE SP 3-5138 said Secretary of Defense Neil H. McElroy and Budget Direc tor Maurice H. Stans might fly to Augusta this week for another look at the 1960 de fense budget which is being pressured upward by foreign crises and new weapons de velopment. Informal estimates have represented the administra tion as shooting for a deficit reduction of about six billion dollars next year. The deficit this year also could run a bit below the anticipated $12, 250,000,000 because of eco nomic improvement in the wake of last winter's reces sion. Federal receipts for fiscal 1959 were estimated in Sep tember at 67 billion dollars, but now are expected to im prove because of the busin ess upturn.
