A Producer by Default

which isn't bad billing no matter how you look
at it.
As a former producer, with Mr.. Evans, Of
the Hallmark Hall Of Fame series on NBC-Tv,
Mrs Alberg inherited her post when Evans
decided at the end Of last season that he had
had enough OF producing for the present.
Mrs. Alberg said there were one or two men
considered for the job. She didn't think.
however, that the fact that no woman had ever
had such position before her had been much
Of handicap

she said "but our sponsor was perfectly agree
able and that always helps. / would have been
willing to do the Job without the title, just to

but NBC was big-hearted. They threw in the

series much distinguished for the quality
Of its productions with no undue panic about
nabbing the highest ratings, Mrs. Alberg said
that she and George Schaefer, producer
director, have always worked as "closed shop"
With Maurice Evans, they jealousy guard
their series against any attempt to lower its
standards, or make It conform to the more
popular concept Of the public taste
I'VE aim for the largest possible audience
for the good play" said Mrs. Alberg. Our
ambition has been always TO make good plays
popular and to q large extent, we've been very
successful. think we gave Cradle Song a new

I sim consult him when we have really tough

Mrs Alberg has Job of considerable power

She chooses most of the properties which

advances in weapons viii In
crease demands for skilled
military men. The administra-
ton plans to ask Congress for
more money to attract and hold
highly trained personnel.
Where Cuts Are Possible
All these increased expendi-
lures will add up to "a very
considerable figure just as the
President said. But he also
promised to ''go over all other
military expenditures with re-
doubled determination to save
every dime that can possibly
be saved"
The Pentagon is having a
harder time trimming than ex-
panding. Here are some po-
tential areas for cutting mill
tary expenditures: Close sur
plus military installations; re-
duce OUTLAWS for weapons like
field artillery. which soon may
be obsolete: pull some troops
back from overseas as missiles
take over the defense job;
eliminate "frills-: reduce dupli-
cation by resolving service
rivalries.
Although it will be painful
to cut these low priority mill
tary programs. the Pentagon
hopes to squeeze out enough
savings to Offset a substantial
part of the increased outlays
planned for urgent projects.
On balance, Secretary McElroy
anticipates only a moderate"
rise in total military spending.
The administration hopes to
compensate for most of this
moderate increase by cutting
expenditures for civilian pro-
grams. Drastic reductions prob
ably will not be necessary
When all the figures are added
up, the total spending budget
may not top this years SPEND
ing total of $72 billion--or at
least the rise will be relatively
small.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-18

TO put more drive behind basic
research--the process of dis
covering fundamental facts
that may some day lead to UNI
foreseen applications.
Billions for Missiles
Overlapping the research and
development category are ex-
penditures for buying missiles.
Some of the missiles are ex-
perimental models. but others
have been tested and are Mt
ting into operating units of
the armed forces.
Spending for missile procure
ment is rising to more than SIS
billion this fiscal year from S2.i
billion last year. and probably
will climb further in the year
opening next July /. The Air
Force. for example. plans to
boost outlays from $1.8 billion
this year to more than SIS
billion next year.
Still at an early stage of de-
velopment are missiles designed
to destroy missiles. Defense
Secretary McElroy clearly in
tends to devote a strong effort
to the development of these
defensive weapons.
Purchasing of missiles is only
a fraction of the story. Expen-
ditures probab bly, will rise
sharply for building missile
bases in the United States and
overseas. and for installing
launchers and training firing
crews.
Space satellites and other
futuristic devices are in line
for increased money, although
really big OUTLAWS must await
successful experiments. The
Pentagon will push research on
military uses of space vehicles.
More Bomber Bases
While spending large sums
for advanced weapons, the De-
Tense Department must con-
tinue to pump big money into
the arsenal that stands ready
today. The administration ex-
poets to depend for several
years at least on heavy bombers
of the Strategic Air Command
to retaliate against aggressors.
Expenditures probably will
squirt for construction of addi-
tional bomber bases-scattered
widely to lengthen the odds
against a fast and total knock
out. 1t also will cost more
money to sharpen the SAC's
alertness by keeping additional
crews on standby status, build
ing new fueling stations, etc.
Radar warning systems will
be overhauled as scientists
figure out how to get the jump
on supersonic missiles.

Mr.. Eisenhower warned SOM
berly that the United States
must increase spending on
modern defenses by "a very
considerable figure" to meet
Russia's challenge. He de-
clared national security in this
age of missiles requires tax
money-lots Of it." And he in
sisted there's no point in "wor-
shipping a balanced budget" If
the country is in danger.
, 1t sounded as though the
President was ready to blow
the lid OF spending.
But l1is aides promptly as
sured the Nation the budgeteers
are not nearly that frantic.
Domestic Programs Face Cuts
The administration does in
tend to spend more money on
high priority defense projects,
but the Pentagon hopes to re-
coup a big part of these added
OUTLAWS by trimming less urgent
military expenditures. Mr.. Eli
senhower expects to compen-
safe for most of any remaining
rise in defense spending by
trimming domestic programs.
Although the President talked
of slicing whole categories of
civilian programs out Of the
budget, officials indicate cuts
need not be drastic. The PEN
tagon hopes to hold the in
crease in total military spend
ing within narrow limits, so
relatively small savings in the
civilian sector would balance
the budget.
Military Spending to Soar
Final budget decisions will
not be made for a few weeks.
Right now the great spending
boom seems to simmer down
to this:
Military expenditures prob
ably viii rise 81 billion or less
above current levels
Total outlays may not climb
at all.
Next years budget will re-
main in balance.
Taxes probably. will not rise,
but hopes for cuts are dim.
Spending in some military
sectors will increase substanti-
ally, the President and other
authorities made clear.
Research and development
Of modern weapons probably
will rise above this fiscal years
$50 billion spending rate. The
Pentagon will, for example,
buy more test missiles: hire
more scientists and engineers;
build more laboratories and
launching sites. Defense Of
ficials hope thus to rush proven
new weapons into operation
Most of these funds will go
for work on specific projects.
