What Course?

The general course Of the next
few months is clear: More mill
tary spending in some areas, less
in others: a sacrifice of civilian
"frills" in the budget for military
hardware; scuttling of all hopes
for tax reduction in 1858.
The details-specif1c figures as
applied to specific programs-were
much less clear. although the ad-
ministration will have its 1852
budget whipped into final shape
within the month.
Would 1t be austerity or business
as usual? Guns instead Of butter?
Or some Of both?
Sinclair Weeks. Secretary Of
Commerce. resuscitated the old
gums or butter" byword Of war
time days with a plea to business
to support "less butter and more
guns" budget. He strongly Sug-
gested that the new budget will
stress stepped-up military SPEND
ing and a curtailment Of spending
on civilian items.
On the other hand. the chief
budget officer Of the Defense De-
partment. Assistant Secretary w.
j. Mcneil. said the President did
not suggest that defense spending
would be greatly increased. He
himself predicted that defense
spending levels this year will be
about the same as last year or
a little higher" Next year, he
said, there will be large increases
in certain weapons and opera

What 1t Means
At Home

When President Eisenhower on
last January 16 set before the
Nation a proposed Federal budget
of $71.8 billion. the outcry was
loud and bipartisan. Americans
let it be known that they wanted
economy. The resulting retrench-
ment was aimed primarily at the
two big items of national security
military defense and foreign aid.
Now. IL months later the
Soviet Union, with its earth satel-
lite. has extended the cold war
to outer space. And now the cry
is for security: the level of Sc
curity - the Governments most
expensive function must be
raised.
Facing up to this new national
requirement will be the demand
ing task of the administration and
Congress within the next few
months. A solution will come
hard for a number of reasons:
. 1t must be developed in an cleo
ton year, when temptations are
great to make political capital of
even life-and-death issues.
. Although the actions to be
taken threaten to feed imitation.
any acceleration in the pace of in
flation will further complicate the
problem.
. The recent slackening in bust
ness activity-it already has been
labeled Slight recession" in some
quarters-means a loss of tax rev.
enues that could not have been
spared even had the Sputniks not
come into the picture.
Although he didn't mention it,
the program the President out
lined dismissed the last glimmer-
ing hope Of a general tax reduce
ton next year. And he was frank
in recognizing that Congress was
going to have to make some
tough choices" in cutting back
civilian programs. With these
words he killed any hopes that
the necessary savings could be
made by just pairing existing pro-
grams or doing some of the fiscal
juggling Congress sometimes in
dulges in:
while some savings may still
be squeezed out through the
wringer method, savings Of the
kind we need can come about only
through cutting out or deferring
entire categories of activity. This
will be one of the hardest and
most distasteful tasks that the
coming session must face"
But the alternative, he warned,
is an unbalanced budget which in
itself is threat to security.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-17

He announced the assignment of
broader powers and a new title
to Special Assistant to the Sec
rotary William N. Holiday, who
has been expected to "co-ordi-
nate" missile programs among the
armed services.
Henceforward Mr.. Holiday will
be Director of Guided Missiles,
and will have more than his pre-
vious advisory-only authority. But
the three services will still con-
troll their own expenditures and
programs. and the relationship of
Mr.. Holiday to the Presidents
Special Assistant for Science and
Technology, DR.. James R. Killian,
was left unclear.
The Defense Secretary reiter-
ated the Pentagon's contention
that the fierce interservice rival
ries in the missile field were bene-
fetal, not harmful. Existing pro-
grams in the three services. the
defense chief said, were too far
advanced to be united in a single
project. But beginning or early
phase programs, such as space
platforms and antimissile missiles.
and other new developments would
be directed in future by "a single
manager" Mr.. McElroy said.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-17
The Military
Scramble

The Nations military services
were busily vying with each other
last week to top" the missile field.
The Navy, smarting a bit under
the decision of Defense Secretary
McElroy a week ago to put the
Army's Redstone Arsenal missile
team into the satellite race. de-
cided to speed its schedule for
launching the first 6-inch test
satellite. The Army announced
through Redstone's commander,
Mai. Gen. John B. Medaris. that
a fully Instrumental large satel-
lite would be launched with a 40
per cent probability" that it will
succeed. But no date was set. And
the Air Force said it was near a
"breakthrough" in developing an
effective defense against the inter-
continental ballistic missile.
On Friday Mr.. McElroy dis
closed that the United States will
request agreement for missile
launching sites in Western Europe.
The proposals. to be made at the
NATO Council session next month,
envisage agreements similar TO
those already existing with Brit
ain.
II was recalled that the Soviet
Union had reacted strongly to the
original missile base agreement
with London, and had written a
series of warning notes to NATO
nations calling attention to the
peril they would run from Rus
sian nuclear attack II they per-
mitted. their territory to be used
for American missile sites.
Mr.. McElroy made no effort TO
minimize the Soviet lead in the
missile race. But he was opti-
mistic on the American program.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-17

tions, and there may be some
increases in new money"
Officials close to the situation
have been reported as talking in
terms of 81 billion to 50 billion
increase in defense OUTLAWS, and
Treasury Secretary Anderson was
said to be sounding out Congress
on the possibility Of raising the
national debt limit by 81 billion
or 50 billion above the present
$275 billion ceiling, presumably to
allow for the increases.
Mr.. Eisenhower indicated in his
Oklahoma City speech that new
efforts would be made to cut
budgetary fat with these words:
I'VE must once more go over
all other military expenditures
with redoubled determination to
save every dime that possibly can
be saved. We must make sure
that We have no needless duplica-
ton or obsolete programs or
facilities"
The President may have had in
mind some of the complaints of
the Hoover Commission: The $2.9
billion spent yearly on Defense
Department storage space, much
of it needlessly duplicated; the
primitive cash system of con-
troll" that governs Pentagon ac-
counting practices; the horrible
example" of waste set by defense
supply systems.
In warning that "in the Federal
Governments civilian activities,
= we shall have to make some tough
choices" he gave no indication as
to what, exactly, will have to be
chosen and what will have to be
foregone. This may well mean that
much of the cost Of catching up
with Russia will have to be borne
by some of the sacred COW"
domestic programs such as public
works, farm subsidies and housing.
The necessity of the choice also
will give the President an oppor-
tunity to push hard for something
he has said all along that he de-
sired: The transfer of much Fed
eral welfare spending to the
States.
He said that the austerity pro-
gram could not be- extended to
foreign military and economic aid
programs. But already two Demo-
cratic Senators, O'Mahoney Of
Wyoming and Chavez of New
Mexico have urged another look
at the cost of foreign aid.

The GIobuI
Picture

Only a few short months ago.
there was a tide Of hope in the
world that. at long last, a FIRST
step" toward control Of the cold
wars ornaments race was in sight.
Optimism seemed justified by
words and deeds on both sides Of
the East-West power controversy.
The Soviet Union was making
peaceful sounds. there seemed TO
be a recognizable difference be-
tween the tough Communist en-
pire Of Stain and the more fiex-
IDLE. less suspicious regime led
by Nikita Khrushchev. First Sec
rotary Of the Soviet Communist
Party. For the West. President
Eisenhower had made plain that
he considered a FIRST step" toward
practical disarmament an indis-
pensable necessity.
But the optimism has vanished.
It's last trace dispersed by the rise
Of the Soviet Sputniks and our
determination TO catch up. II has
been replaced not by q mere re-
