CADET SLOUCH
‘Budget’ To Be Big
U. S. Word in ’60
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON <A>)_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.
