PAGE 2 THE BATTALION Tuesday, September 17, 1959 CADET SLOUCH ‘Budget’ To Be Big U. S. Word in ’60 By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON )_Not even a national prize for fancy phras ing could make the word budget sound exciting. But it will be one of 1960’s major sore spots and talking points. 'Last month the Senate Republi can Policy Committee predicted budget balancing would be the big issue in Congress next year and then later, in the presidential campaign. And because government econo my, or lack of it, will hold such a high place in the national con sciousness in 1960 you, who pay for the budget with your taxes, have practically no hope for a tax cut next year. For Republicans, budget-bal ancing is both a rallying post and a tender point. In the 1952 campaign President Eisenhower was pretty optimistic about reducing government spend ing. He hasn’t always succeeded. In the last fiscal year the gov ernment went 12 Yz billion dollars in the red, a peacetime record. For that fiscal year—which started July 1, 1958 and ended June 30, 1959—Eisenhower pro posed spending 74 billion dollars. He was off on his estimate be cause the 1958 recession sent gov ernment income down and ex penses up. This year—for the 19C0 fiscal year beginning July 1, 1959— the President asked 77 billion but spending may hit over 79 billion. That does not necessarily mean a deficit, because government in come has picked up. No wonder that Eisenhower— remembering the deficits, his early hopes of cutting down spending, the need for economy in dealing with inflation—went after the Democrats like a man with a mallet. He did more than just appeal to Congress for economy. He went on TV to get public, sup port and pressure on COngress. He kept banging away on the same theme all through the 1959 congressional session. One effect of all this was to make the Democratic-run Con gress so self-conscious about spending that it pretty much ate out of his hand. He can be ex pected to do no less next year, his last full White House year. He has been subjected to critic ism, of course, for not pumping more money into defense and other areas to keep abreast of the Soviets or to surpass them. This year, since relations with the Soviet Union seem a little warmer and Premier Nikita Khrushchev, is calling for world disarmanent, Eisenhower has some added ammunition to use against those who believe he is not making the maximum effort. It may be rather comforting to all sides in a dispute over government spending that they can’t see 10 years into the future. It may take that long to prove who is right and who is short sighted now. Very possibly, since economy and government spending will be a presidential campaign issue, the Democrats may trot along beside Eisenhower in keeping down the budget. But that won’t prevent about six months of yipping and yap ping on both sides during the congressional session. Monday Eisenhower tentiatively okayed part of the budget he will offer Congress in January—41 billion dollars for the military forces—which was just about what he asked this year. That might indicate he has in mind the same kind of total budg et for next year that he request ed this year: 77 billion. Even if the politicians of both parties were stricken speechless in 19G0 there; would still be an awful budget rumpus if only from the Army, Navy and Air Force, each of which always wants more money than Eisenhower says they need.
