Nixon Opposes
Budget Trims
UphoIds Foreign Aid
In Chamber ToIk

Vice President Nixon defended
the administrators budget to-
day before the organization
which has perhaps been mos;
vigorous in demanding that the
budget be trimmed.
He addressed the United
States Chamber of Commerce at
its opening general session which
crowded Constitution Hall. He
received an ovation.
He also upheld the proposed
81 billion for foreign aid.
The chamber has been con-
ducting a hard campaign to cut
the $7l.8 billion budget requests
by $4.4 billion. Mr.. Nixon said:
Il understand the concern
which many of you attending
this convention have expressed
over the size Of our national
budget. Searching examination
Of the conduct Of Government at
all levels is proper and necessary.
/ 1t is only in this way that we
keep Government from getting
too SNUG, too fat. too well-satis-
fed.
High But Balanced
But as we consider our Fed
eral budget. it is well to keep
some things in perspective. First.
your national administration un-
der the leadership of President
Eisenhower. has from the very
day it took Office proceeded on
the sound principle that gov
Iernment should not spend more
than 1t takes in in taxes. The
theory Of defict financing has no
place in the philosophy of the
administration today"
This last sentence drew a
sturdy round of applause.
This budget is high" Mr..
Nixon continued, but this budget
is balanced budget and 1t is the
third balanced budget in a row
to be submitted by the President.
The American people have re-
ceived the largest dollar tax cut
in history-$7 billion as a result
of the fiscal policies Of this ad-
ministration.
II can assure you that under
the leadership Of the President
all departments and agencies will
continue to be directed to ex-
Iplore and to put into effect meth
ods Of operation which will pro-
vide necessary services to the
public at lower costs.
"As you know. approximately
so per cent OF this budget stems
from problems of national Sc
Icurity. I am sure you will agree
that we should never risk our
freedom and security tomorrow
in short sighted attempts TO cut
costs today.

otherwise would because of the
refund the company is receiving
from its natural gas supplier.
The refunds will continue to
be spread over the monthly bills
for a year until the $685. 200
total is exhausted.
The gas company gave these
examples of how the refund will
affect typical bills:
A customer who used 80
therms for cooking and water
heating would be billed for $4.83
in January. not counting the
sales tax. In February. not
counting the refund. the bill
would be $3.50. The difference Of
3 cents is because of a slight re-
duction in the supplier's
charges at the time the refund
was given. But counting the re.
fund. the bill goes down to $4.6S
Comparable figures for the bill
of the customer who uses 25C
therms in a winter month fol

for the other purposes would
be these: $3.50 in January
$31.53 in February without the
