' During the final four fiscal years of the Eisenhower Ad
ministration 1958 through 1961 the federal government
piled up three budget deficits and the $12.4 billion deficit
of 1859 stands as of now as the largest peacetime deficit in
our entire history.
Not one of those deficits was predicted in advance by
President Eisenhower.
In fact, in each of his original budget messages, Eisen
hower forecast a surplus, and in that famous year of 1959
his original estimate was a half-billion dollar surplus. In
only a few months, higher than projected spending, plus a
disappointing tax take resulting from the sluggish growth
of profits and paychecks switched that modest "surplus"
into a massive deficit.
In his first two fiscal years 1962 and 1963 Kennedy
also orginally predicted surpluses which ended up as deficits.
(The new estimate for this year ending July 1 is a deficit
of $8.8 billion.)
Now for the first time in his tenure of office, Kennedy not
only has dared to "plan" a whopping deficit of $11.9 billion
for . 1964 but also has dared to forecast it openly and to
defend it as sound policy under today's economic conditions.
Daring this it indeed, for by so doing Kennedy has
focused the nation's attention as naver before on the site
of our deficits and the almost unbroken record of red ink
. in recent decades. By defending the 1964 deficit, he hat
. horrified financial traditionalists and offended many who
were eloquently urging tax reduction before they taw the
budget and details of his tax program. .
This deficit picture, even more than the hodgepodge of
tax reforms he presented with his tax reduction proposals,
has hardened opposition to tax reduction, rallied his op
ponents, split his supporters.
Let's be honest about this deficit picture. Let's at least
face: some abvious facts, even if we don't approve of the
facts.
. (1) A first obvious point is that there's no chance of
avoiding a budget deficit in the year to begin this summer
none at all. On the one side, despite the tough talk Congress
won't be willing to slash government outgo to the point
where projected government income would match it. More
over, were Congress to wield the "meat ax," it would kock
the props out from under our economy, send us into a slump
which would shrink the tax take to the point where the new
deficit really could blow the lid off our economy. On the
other side, Congress certainly isn't going to raise federal
taxes this year. We're already bending under the federal
burden and increasing state, local and social security taxes
are adding to our load right now.
(2) A second obvious point is that by presenting his tax
reduction package along with a huge deficit, Kennedy has
invited critics of government spending to a Roman holiday.
Moves now must be made to control the budget and surely
there is room for some cuts. Although the cuts chosen may
be risky, the risks should be taken if the alternatives are
either no tax reduction worth the name or spending control.
. (3) A third obvious point is that with or without a tax
cut, the deficit orginally projected for 1964 could turn out
to be conservative. Look at this record and you'll see why
Kennedy well may be about to take over from Eisenhower
the dubious distinction of running up the largest peacetime
deficit in our history (in billions):
Year ending Original Budget . Way it turned
June 30 Estimate out
1958 $ 1.8 surplus $ 2.8 deficit
1959 $ .5 surplus $12.4 deficit
1960 $ .1 surplus $ 1.2 surplus
1961 $ 4.2 surplus $ 3.9 deficit
1962 $ 1.5 surplus $ 6.4 deficit
1963 $ 5. surplus $ 8.8 deficit
1964 $11.9 deficit ? ? ? ? ?
(4) A fourth obvious point is that if our economy does gain
new power and does start moving strongly ahead from this
plateau, the tax take from paychecks and profits can in a
few years finally balance a budget kept under control. The
goal to which the nation agreed with remarkable unanimity
as the year began was across-the-board, solid, substantial tax
reduction in 1963 to stimulate business investment and con
sumer spending and thus speed our growth. If we permit
this goal to be obscured and postponed, we harm only ourselves.

Senator's Modesty Comes to Fore In Accounts of World Travels

J. Ellendcr is much too mod

thing to say
about a sena
tor, but it is
true. When
the latest re
port on his
world travels
was published
by the Senate

mittee. Ellen-
d e r diffidently commented
that "I make no claims to
being an accomplished writ
er." I feel certain that he wasn't
fishing for compliments, but I
am moved to disagree with his
assuming self-appraisal.
Man and boy, I have been
reading Ellender's travel re
ports for years, and I have
invariably been impressed by
the scope of his observations
and by his ability to commit
tnem to print.
. This holds lrue of his
newest work, which covers
803 pages and deals with
his recent trip to Africa.
If asked to assay his liter
ary style, I would say it

'SUCCESSFUL' CONFERENCE Brazilian Finance Minister
San Tiago Dantas, left, held what he termed a "most suc
cessful" conference with President Kennedy at the White
House on Brazilian economic and financial needs. They are
shown as they posed for pictures after meeting. (UPI)
For instance, when he tells
us that while flying from Bos
ton to Madrid he slept
through most of the movie
that was shown on board the
plane, he neglects to mention
the name of the film that he
slept through.
Again, in describing a lunch
he had in Morocco with U.S.
Vice Consul Minot B. Nettle
ton, he provides the infor
mation that Ncttleton's wife
"hails from Shreveport, La."
but he does not say from what
neighborhood.
These, however, are minor
shortcomings and in no way
diminish the overall sweep
and grandeur of his narrative.
Although the report re
peats some of tha contro
versial political conclusions
that caused Ellender to be
barred from ports of Africa,
to me he is at his best as a
geographer.
I was captivated by his ob-

servations that wild animals
inhabit some areas of the
Dark Continent and that cer

desire for the making of mon

Agricultural Committee, El
lender also took an interest
in agrarian matters. In Egypt,
for example, he encountered a
"mysterious" method of cattle
breeding.
Sacred bulls worshipped by
the ancient Egyptians "were
supposedly conceived ... by
a streak of lightning," he
writes. But, he adds, "I could
not get too much information
as to how a virgin cow could
be made pregnant by a stroke
of lightning."
In Dahomey, the hair styles
of a group of dancers captured
Ellender's attention. Their
coiffures, he says, were "typ
ical of the area, and some of
them were truly unique."
