PeIIa Urges Cuts
In Defense Cost 10
Trim Italy Budget
By the Associated Press

ROME. Aug. 26-Italian Sen
ators today studied new Premi-
er Giuseppe Pella's financial pre-
scription for their governments
ailing f1nanceS-Sharp cuts in
spending. including defense costs.
The reductions were promised
in Pella'S budget estimates for
the 1953-54 fiscal year, presented
to the Senate yesterday. The
premier's admittedly temporary
government won confidence votes
in both the upper house and the
Chamber of Deputies on prom
ises to bring the budget closer to
a balance.
Among his recommendations
was a cut of 81 billion lire (about
$34 million) in the field of Sin
ternational and internal Sc
curity." This presumably would
include the police as well as mil
itary forces.
OlVeS NO break-0OWn.
Mr.. Pella did not break down
the estimates on defense spend
ing or give total figures on esti-
mated military expenditures.
He calculated total govern
ment expenses for the fiscal year
at 2 trillion 231 billion lire (about
S31a billion). This would be
about los billion lire ($168 mil
lionD less than the 1928
budget worked out by former
Premier Alcide De Gasperi'S
cabinet.
Mr.. Pella admitted his expend-
itures would be about Alt billion
lire (about $667 millionO more
than revenues, but he said this
deficit would be considerably
smaller than last years.
Details Still to Come.
Presentation of the budget
outline-details were left for
later-was Pella's first move
since he gained a confidence vote
in the Chamber of Deputies
Monday. The Senate previously
had balloted in favor of his pro-
gram. Both houses must ap-
prove the financial program be-
fore it can be put into effect.
Mr.. Pella's call for reduced
defense spending followed a line
taken by Mr.. De Gasperi, whose
eighth cabinet was overthrown
by no-conf1dence vote July %.

Bringing all traffic to a halt
