Eisenhower Seeking
Possible Reductionsin in
forthcoming Budget
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The In
coming Eisenhower administration
already is at work trying to find
ways to cut the Federal budget
which President Truman will SUBJ
NIT to Congress next week.
President-elect Eisenhower's fis-
cal specialists repeatedly are con-
f1dent some reductions can be
made. but are guarding against
any talk of big slashes.
The proposed budget which goes
to Congress week from today will
be Soley the work of the Truman
administration, which hands over
the Government to the Eisenhower
regime January 20. The document
deals with spending for the fiscal
year starting July /.
Although the budget total won't
be announced officially until Presi-
dent Truman sends it to the Cap
1tol, there has been speculation
the spending estimate is around
$50 billion.
In Touch With Planning.
Gen. Eisenhower has been kept
informed of the outgoing admin
iStration's budget planning
through reports submitted to him
by Detroit Banker Joseph M.
Dodge. the generals preinaugura-
tion representative in the Budget
Bureau.
Those reports are the basis for
the confidence of Eisenhower aides
that some cuts can be made. But,
as COP congressional leaders also
have stated, they feel there prob
ably will be no substantial reduc-
tions in Federal spending until the
fiscal year starting July /, 1854.
Among those on the President
elects calling list today were
George Yeh, the Chinese Ambas-
sador to the United Nations, and
John Foster Dulles, Secretary of
State-designate.
Sees Training Members.
Five representatives of the Ma
tional Security Training Commis-
sion. headed by DR.. Karl T. Comp
ton. called on Gen. Eisenhower
about noon.
The commission indorses al
plan to extend military training
to 10000 youths in the 18-year
age group. The plan was rejected
by the House of Representatives
last March.
Besides DR.. Compton. the group
included Admiral Thomas c. Kim
caid and 1t. Gen. Raymond S.
McLain. both commission mem
bers; Edgar G. Shelton, commits

Weathermen glanced back at SC
years of Washington weather and
ESTIMATED today the chances are
about $3.50 the weather will be
good during President-elect Eisen-
hower'S Inauguration.
The chances are about 212 to
one it will be dry on January 20,
It's almost an even bet on wheth-
er it will be cloudy. And if the
Temperature is anywhere near
normal, it will be around As de-
lgrees.
The estimate of a $3.50 chance
for a nice day is based strictly on
gamblers chance and not, wealth
er-predicting science. BY counting
the number of pleasant January
20ths in the past half century, and
the number of unpleasant ones, it
lis possible to determine on the
laws of chance what the possibili-
tiles are. This method of estimat-
ling future weather is used in some
weather work.
One student of weather, DR.
Charles Greeley Abbott of the
Smithsonian Institution, has said
indications for this January 20 are
for rain or snow. He predicted ac-
curately in 1945 and again in 194s
that Inauguration day would be
fair.
DR.. Abbott uses a system involv-
ing fluctuations in the heat radia-
tion of the sun, plus sun spots and
other phenomena.

Society was celebrated.
In opening Bluffton's musical OBJ
