Major Bills,
johnson Says
BY the Associated Press

Senator Lyndon B. johnson,
Democrat of Texas, says conf
IDENTIFY he will return as Demo-
cratic Senate leader next Janu-
airy for the second session Of the
84th Congress.
In his first news conference
since July 2, when ale suffered
10 heart attack, Senator Johnson
yesterday showed every sign Of
Ia recovery which his doctor told
him should make him "as good
as new" by autumn.
Senator Johnson described as
Ia partisan analysis" what
President Eisenhower said Of the
congressional session just ended.
He said Republicans In Con-
|gress were far more responsible
than Democrats for failure Of
three Of four bills the President
had called vital"
Mr.. Eisenhower, at his news
conference last week, COM
|mended Congress for its foreign
policy decisions but said it
should have acted on at least
four domestic issues-the high
way building program. health
legislation, Federal school aid
and water resources.
Disputes Appraisal
Senator Johnson was asked
whether he felt that presidential
fully reflected the rec
ord made by the Congress, where
Democrats hold a slender edge in
both branches. The Senator
left no doubt he did not.
Congress, he noted. approved
a three-year trade act extension.
The same program was shelved
in the previous Republican Con-
gress. Senator Johnson asked:
Does anyone think the Pres
ident could have gotten that pro-
gram this year from a Repub-
lican leadership"
Senator johnson said the Re-
publicans were responsible for the
defeat of the highway. school aid
and water resources bills. He
said Mr.. Eisenhower's health
legislation was decisively defeat
ed in the previous Republican,
controlled Congress and should
be completely revised.
Should Be Informed
Still on the four must" bills.
he said:
Il think if those little men
who put the lists of bills in the
Presidents pocket would also
inform the President what has
happened on those bills and why
it has happened, I think he
would find it futile to make a
partisan analysis of what an
otner Dfancn OF the government
has or has not done"
Senator johnson said the only
flair comparison is between the
record of the first session of the
Republican SD Congress and
the first session of the Demo-
cratic saith. On any such COM
parison, he said, the recent ses-
Sions has demonstrated the wis
dom of the voters in voting
Democratic in 1854"
Senator johnson will stay in
Washington until August Is, then
fly to johnson City, Tex, to
celebrate his Attn birthday at
home August 81.

Both officials said every agency

to help md further savings that
would wipe out the remaining
SIT billion of estimated deficit
by next June.
The report breaks the budget
down into three parts to show
that some parts are comfortable.
while In others the expenditures
are fixed by law.
The major part. which is con-
trollable, covers national defense,
foreign aid. atomic energy and

total last year was $4O.4 billion.

several years to build. and the

$276 Billion Debt
While Mr.. Humphrey was be-
ing questioned about possible
tax cuts. one reporter inquired
when he plans to start reducing
the national debt, which now
totals more than $276 billion,
The secretary said he does
not believe any substantial re-
duction in the debt can be made
until there is a world situation
which win no longer necessitate
heavy defense expenditures.
Under q temporary law. the
debt may go as high as 1921
billion. but the old debt ceiling
of $275 billion goes back into
effect next July. The mid-year
review estimates the debt viii
be down to that figure by
June 80.
The figures released yesterday
on Government income and out
go indicate that the improved
! fiscal situation has resulted from
prosperity and its effect on In
come, more than from reduction
Of spending.
For example, spending in the
current year is estimated at only
$700 million under the year
ended last June. but receipts
for the current year are up $1.s
billion over last fiscal year.
In a Joint statement Mr.. Hum
phrey and Mr.. Hughes pointed
out that the SIT billion esti-
mated deficit for the current
year compares with a red ink
figure of $9.4 billion in 1858
