ham and turkey with mavericks
and followers alike.
The President so far has taken
a licking in his efforts to cool
the budget-cutting fever in Con-
gress.
Republicans deserted the Pres
ident heavily last week when
the House voted a $25 billion
cut in the defense budget. And
the Senate slashed deeper into
House-passed cuts in funds for
the United States Information
Agency. On both matters. Mr.
Eisenhower had made strong APP
peals against the reductions.
Today's invitation was the
second for Mr.. Eisenhower

Mr.. Martin said frankly the
goal was bringing the White

The bill includes the admins

Attorney General to seek injunc-
tons in civil court to prevent
anyone from interfering with the

The amendment adopted to-

tice, Federal Court contempt ci-

.$149.5 Million Boost
In Postal Fund Asked
President Urges
Extra Money to
Maintain Service
BY JOHN v. HORNER

President Eisenhower called on
Congress today to appropriate
an additional S149.5 million for
the Post Office Department in
the fiscal year beginning July /.
The money requested would
the $3.192 billion
postal budget for 1858. which was
approved last week.
The amount now requested is
approximately $92 million more
than the original budget esti-
mate submitted to Congress by
the administration.
The White House said the
extra money is needed because
of an increase of Ia billion pieces
of mail over the volume origi-
nally estimated.
Funds Held Urgently Needed
In letter which accompanied
the Presidents requests for the
supplemental appropriation, Di-
rector of the Budget Percival
Brundage declared the funds are
urgently needed if the postal
service is to be kept up.
1T is urgent he said. that
immediate action be taken on the
above request in order that the
Post Office Department may plan
for a level of service within the
funds provided.
The White House emphasized
that if the additional funds are
not made available promptly it
Will be necessary to apportion
the 1858 appropriations SO
that department operations are
planned for the entire year. This
would mean a curtailment OF
some services.
Presidents Statement Recalled
When President Eisenhower
signed the 1853 budget passed
by Congress he said
While the Post Office Depart
ment will continue to make every
effort to operate economically.
it is clear. in view of the rising
volume of mail, that the appro-
priations for the Post Office De-
partment will be insufficient I'M
less postal services are to be sub
stantially curtailed beginning
July /. 1857"
At that time. the President
served notice that he would re-
quest supplemental appropria-
tionS.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty said the ad-
mlniStration asked the additional
SLABS million to cover these
items:
Restoration Of cuts made by
Congress. S57,4 million: in
creased workload. s64.9 million;
salary increases required by law,
S2l.6 million. and claims, SIS
million.

OF weapons.
Mr.. Wilson brushed aside the
protest against the contracts
cutback. Air Secretary Douglas
then replied $3.50 million in
plane and missile contracts and
500 million worth of badly
needed construction to keep pace
with modernization of the air
arm would be delayed.
Army and Navy Hit Also
The details of those cuts were
being worked out today here and
at the Air Materiel Command in
Dayton. Ohio.
Mr.. Wilson also ordered the
Navy to withhold $3.50 million
and the Army $3.50 million in
contracts this month.
Replies to those orders were
expected today.
The Air Force. now in the
process of transition to an all
Jet airfleet. will feel greater ef-
feet from the orders than the
other services and Mr.. Douglas
stressed the long-range results
in his protest.
The cutback on contracts this
month, he said, will hurt the
orderly procurement of weapons
and delay wide variety of con-
struction starts from 80 to so

No specific estimate OF the

posed under President Essen

approved and which is now be-
fore the Senate.
Air Force Hard Hit
The Air Force is particularly

for this is that contracts for

Without doubt international
control OF the testing of nuclear
weapons is now necessary and
could be the first important step
toward ending the threat of nu-
clear war.
The statement OF the 1000

attention on that situation and
