met was called yesterday by Mr.
Nixon after q White House con-
ference with Sherman Adams
assistant to the President, and
other presidential aides. Mr.
Nixon also has called a meeting
Of the National Security Council
for Thursday.
The budget director explained
that various agencies and de-
partments early in October will
begin sending him their estimates
Of expenditures for the fiscal year
beginning next July !. He indi-
Gated that the cabinet meeting
Friday viii have only a general
discussion of problems involved
in the total budget, the method
of setting it UP and the pro-
cedure for presenting 1t to Con-
gress early next year.
Hopeful About Budget
Repeating earlier. statements
that the administration hopes to
end the current fiscal year with
q balanced budget. Mr.. Hughes
nevertheless added:
'.But don't pin me down as
saying that balanced budget
Is In the bag. It isn't but that
Is our objective and we believe
1t possible to eliminate the pre-
viously estimated deficit Of about
SIT billion"
As for the possibility Of achiev-
ing major cuts in the military
budget. Mr.. Hughes said he
has not yet heard anything
authoritative from the Pentagon
on such prospects.
Our main policy in that con-
nection is exactly what Pres
ident Eisenhower has always
emphasized" he said. at is
to make sure that national de-
Tense is not hampered. Any
thing we do in cutting expendi-
lures has got to be on that
premise"
Escorted to Once
Mr.. Nixon left his home with
his chauffeur and a Secret Serv-
ice man in his limousine at 8:45
am. He was escorted on the
trip to his Office by two other
Secret Service men in a trailing
car.
Two agents had kept an over
night vigil at the Nixon residence
In Spring Valley.
U. E. Baughman, chief Of the
Secret Service. told newsn1en the
detail covering Mr.. Nixon had
been Increased mainly because
Of the attention now focused on
him and crowds that were
around him" He described the
increase as ordinary routine and
that 1t was not caused by any
other reason.
Shortly before Mr.. Nixon's de-
parture for work. Mrs. Nixon
sent word TO q half dozen news
paperrnen waiting outside that
she had some coffee for them on
the Nixon screened-tn porch.
No Call From Denver
Mr.. Nixon told newsmen as he
left the house that he had no
communication from Denver
during the night.
He said he considered that a
good sign. since he had asked
them not to call unless there was
. change for the worse in the
condition of President Eisen-
hover, who was stricken last
Saturday by a heart attack.
Mr.. Nixon expressed sympathy
for the newsmen who MAIN
tanned q night-long watch out
side his home. He said. his
housekeeper, who normally oc-
cupies a room in the basement
is leaving for four days begin
ming Wednesday evening and he
asked the newsmen If they would
like to occupy the room during
the night.
Mr.. Nixon made the invitation
more attractive by informing re-
porters that he had a new color
television set that had been in
the house about three months.
but which he said he had not
had time to watch.
