President's Budget
Closely Scrutinized
By Congressmen
'Washington flJFD President
Elsenhower's precariously bal
anced $77 billion budget came
under close scrutiny today in
a Congress conscious of grow
ing debate over government
spending and taxes.
The House Appropriations
Committee began a study be
hind closed doors of the new
budget for the fiscal year be
ginning July 1. Treasury Sec
retary Robert B. Anderson
and Budget Director Maurice
H. Stans were summoned to
testify.
Democratic congressional
leaders were openly skeptical
of the administration's budget
proposal. It envisions a $70
million surplus for the 1960
fiscal year.
The government is expect
ed to set a record peacetime
dficit of $13 billion this fis
cal year.
President Eisenhower,
, meanwhile, sent his annual
, economic message to the
House. It followed Monday's
budget message which called
on Congress for another pos
i tal rate .hike and higher gaso-
line taxes for the nation's 80
million motorists ; -
Blast Tax Proposal
The gasoline tax proposal
ran into a concentrated bar
rage of criticism today from
organizations representing
road users. But even before
- the ' fresh attacks, there
seemed to be virtually no
chance Congress would enact
the proposed Hi cent a gal
lon boost proposed by the
President.
- Motorists now pay three
cents in. federal tax for every
gallon of gasoline purchased.
- The House Ways and Means
Committee, which must ori
ginate all tax legislation in
Congress, began closed-door
hearings on a bill revising up
ward the taxation of life in-
: surance companies. This pro
posal also was a part of the
administration's program.
Democrats pressed ahead
with plans for early congres
sional action on welfare
spending than proposed by
Eisenhower for housing pro-
' grams and for economically-
depressed areas.
Scrutinize Defense Program
The Eisenhower defense
program was a subject of in
quiry before the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
At the same time, Chairman
Carl Vinson (D-Ga.) of the
House Armed Services Com
mittee said he would "have to
be sold" on the need for mak
ing sizeable cuts in the Army
National Guard and Army
Reserve.

ference to settle a wrangle
over committee assignments.
The 34 GOP senators each

Anti-Picketing Bill
Repeal Seen Blow
To Small Business
Salem (DPD Fear that small
Oregon concerns would be
driven out of business if the
1953 so-called anti-picketing
law were repealed was ex
pressed by several representa
tives of employer groups in
a hearing on Senate bill 3
Monday afternoon.
The bill, introduced by Sen.
Dan Dimick and Rep. Al Fle

had the support of union la
bor representatives at the
hearing before the Senate La
bor and Industries commit
tee, of which Dimick is chair
man. , W. F. Marrish, represent
ing the Association of Oregon
Industries, said his group was
not opposed to peaceful pick

anti-picketing law has not
been oppressive, he said.

Called 'Hodge-Podge'
Principal argument In fav
or of the bill was made by
Donald Richardson, attorney
for the Oregon AFL-CIO who
said:
"I disagree with some of
the other witnesses on the
effect of this anti-picketing
law. It is not a labor relation!!
law. It is simply a hodge
podge piece of legislation."
Richardson contended the
bill repealing anti-picketing
was needed and called atten
tion of the committee to- the
extension of jurisdiction of
the National Labor Relations
Board in labor management
disputes.
"Every situation wherein
interstate commerce is affect
ed, the National Labor Rela
tions Board is empowered to
take jurisdiction. The area of
state control -of labor rela
tions lias been narrowed con
siderably," Richardson con
tended.
