Civil Benefits

The Presidents plans for what he
called new and expanded programs
for enhancing opportunities for hu-
man well-being and economic
growth" call for spending only 1913
million more in fiscal 1857 than in
fiscal 1856.
The significant factor in this
category--veterans benefits, labor
and welfare, agriculture, commerce
and housing and natural resources
is to be found less In figures than
In new and redirected emphasis.
In agriculture, for the third con-
secutive year. crop supports are ex-
pected to cost less as obligations for
former high support programs are
met. This will leave more room for
new agriculture proposals. Net
farm expenditures would just about
equal those of the current year.
The "soil bank" plan would re-
quire $400 million, which would be
available through lower supports
and stepped UP surplus sales. The
expected reduction In price sup

Interest

Third in size among the budget
expenditures by purpose" is interest
payments on the huge national debt.
The debt stood earlier this month
at about $280.3 billion--about two
thirds Of billion below the legal
limit. To service this debt will cost
Uncle Sam In the coming fiscal year
$7.066, 000.0 900.
Debt interest payments is an item
not subject to political finagling.
It is a solemn promise-literally the
credit--of the United States of
America. 1t is also an inevitable
part Of deficit financing.
In the 10 fiscal years since the
end of World War II, the Govern
ment has spent a total Of $12,091.-
100000 more than 1t has taken in.
It has had to borrow to make up
this difference. AS an unacceptable
result, debt service has risen from
$5,188. 600, 900 in fiscal l947 to the
proposed s7.o66. 100000 in fiscal
1857.

Income and Outgo

Although the fiscal 81 document
Is popularity considered a 1868 bill

balance at figure about $11 bill
lion higher than that. The reason
Is that about 81 billion worth of
receipts will be Offset by refunds to
the public and payments into trust
funds dixie Social Security. while
about $11 billion worth of expendi-
lures will be cancelled out by re
ceipts from public enterprise funds"
such as Post ONCE stamp income.
Strictly speaking, the budget con-
templates SITS billion in receipts
and $76.9 billion in expenditures.
AS usual, the big items Of income
are from individual and corporate
income taxes. They represent about
u cents out Of every tax dollar
collected. And as usual, the big
items Of expense are the sacrosanct
ones-defense. veterans benefits,
interest and agriculture. They
total 80 per cent of all planned

Built into Mr.. Eisenhower's budget
is the assumption that Congress
will extend at their present rate
certain corporation and 2 excise
(sales) taxes currently scheduled
for reduction in the spring. Failure
by Congress to extend these taxes
could do as much violence to the
Presidents plans for q balanced
budget as would a substantial busi-
ness recession.
The items enumerated above are
the major ones of income and out

Farm Policy

The administration sent Con-
gress the Presidents farm bill on
Monday. as the Agriculture De-
partment announced that In the
last six months Of 1855 it had given
away record $225.5 million Of
surplus foods.
The Eisenhower bill would make
Secretary of Agriculture Benson an
absolute boss Of the proposed, sol
bank" giving him authority to set
I'D almost every regulation govern
ing the program. This included
the power to say how much to pay
the farmer who cuts back his sur.
plus cropland. The bill did not
even say what basis should be used
for determining the payments.
Since most members Of the Sem
ate and House Agriculture Com.
mittees cannot be counted among
Mr.. Benson's admirers. it is highly
doubtful that the Secretary would
be given any such free hand.
The day after receiving the Presi-
dents bill, the Senate Agriculture
Committee began hearings on the
draft Of q bill which would incor-
porate many Of the suggestions
heard by the committee during
hearings In 20 States last fall. This
plan, too, had q soil bank proposal
plus q high rigid price support
feature.

Modest Surplus
Is Promised
For Fiscal 81 ~

President Eisenhower last week
laid before Congress q bulky $3.50
billion budget for fiscal 1857
and the document Immediately be-
came a barricade across which the
political shots Of o presidential
election year viii be. fred in the
months to come. 81
Any well-executed budget holds
out something for the citizenry.
This one was no exception. II 1t
did not increase handouts for
voters, and If it did not offer re-
duced levies for taxpayers. 1t at
least did the next best thing: It
promised solvency in the form Of
q small surplus In the coming fiscal
year.
It is Government doctrine
under Democratic and Republican
administrations alike-that budgets
are made by. first. determining the
absolute minimum Of absolutely es-
Sential spending and. second, out
lining the ways and means Of get
ting the necessary revenue. This
was the theory behind the new
budget.
But less than "A hours after the
budget was made public. an effort
was being made to debunk the
theory. In Q national magazine,
former Army Chief Of STAFF Mat
thew B. Ridgway charged that the
Eisenhower administration had been
trying to tailor the Nations defense
to At the Nations purse, instead Of
vice versa. His charges, by weeks
end. were . major political issue
for 1856.
Slim Margin
Whatever may be the truth
about how q budget is made, the
Presidents plans for fiscal 1857
beginning next July - were based
on some razor-thin assumptions.
His budget contemplates o surplus
of about $435 million. The scales
could be tipped from surplus to
deficit In an almost infinite num-
Der Of ways. Examples:
. If anticipated receipts from
individual income taxes fall Just
Ia per cent short Of budget pre-
dictions, the Nation will end fiscal
1857 in the red.
. II q slight business downturn
Gas has been predicted by q few
major industrialists) materializes,
and corporate tax revenues decline
by 2A per cent. a deficit viii re-
suit. Corporate tax revenue In 1857
is estimated as equal to the 1866
total.
Q II an election happy Democrat
controlled Congress decides to play
Lady Bountiful to the voters with
either tax cuts or increased well
fare-state" type benefits, the scale
could be tipped.
. If even the smallest of clouds
should appear over the interna-
tional landscape, deficit would
be almost certain.
The current fiscal year. which
began last July /. has been one Of
unprecedented prosperity. Orig
inally foreseen as $2.4 billion def
icit year. it now looks like a sur
plus year to the tune Of $3.50 mil
lion. More often than not, ii years
since World War II. budget plans
and budget accomplishments have
failed to mesh.
But if-and it is a tremendous If
the economic and international
situations remain unchanged, and
Congress gives neither more nor
less than Mr.. Eisenhower asked for
last week, the result will be a small
but heartening surplus.

No Announcement Yet,
But President Comes
Close on 1856 Plans

At his press conference on Tnufs-
day President Eisenhower once
again said he has not yet finally
decided whether he will seek sec
ond term.
Saying candidly much more than
need have been said. the President
read his reply to New Hampshire
oficials who had notified him that
his name was going on the ballot
for q March l3 preferential pri-
mary in that State. 1t was the
umpteenth time Mr.. Eisenhower
has said that the decision is not
firmly fixed" in his mind. It wasn't
the repetition. however. that was
significant, but rather two extreme
ly frank statements about his
health:
. "It would be idle to pretend that
my health can be wholly restored
to the excellent state in which the
doctors believed 1t to be in mid
September" before his heart at
tack.
. MY future life must be care
fully regulated to avoid excessive
fatigue"
These two observations certainly
could not give rise to any new hope
on the part of Republicans. On
this statement, more than on any
Of the previous ones on his posi-
ton, there was basis for doubts.
Natter of Health
The President-or his advisers
must have realized that, should he
become a candidate, Democrats will
picture him as a man who, by his
own admission, must avoid the
excessive fatigue" that the Office
of President of the United States
demands. The inevitable cam
paien question would be: Should
a President whose former excellent
health is lost forever be returned
to a job so exhausting?"
But If he could not be as robust
as in his old Burning Tree days.
the President. most of the news
men agreed, was looking hale.
Friday night, the President ad-
dressed, via closed circuit TV, doz-
ems of Republican rallies being held
throughout the country. He still
had no news of future plans, either
as "a candidate for your nomina-
ton or a worker in the ranks"
In the meantime, there were no
doubts at all about two other fig
ures In the 1856 picture.
Kefouver Tries Again
Senator Estes Kefauver, who
wanted to be President in 1852,
still sought the job last week. His
quest took him to New Hampshire,
where Democrats gave him his first
primary victory Of 1852. On Sun
day he visited seven communities
in 10 hours. and along the way re-
ported his relations with former
President Truman we're much better
than they were In 1852.
Adlai Stevenson went to st. Paul
on Tuesday to enter his name as a
candidate In the Minnesota prefer
ence Primary on March 20. He also
took the occasion to join other
Democrats in blasting Secretary of
State Dulles brink -of-war" state
ment. He demanded that President
Eisenhower either dismiss Mr.. Dulles
OF repudiate the statement. But the
