Donald Quarles had to take
the rap for a move really
viewed with alarm by Senators.
1t is the decision Of Defense
Secretary Charles Wilson TO
give "the engineers" higher
priority at the Pentagon than
the scientists"

manded creation Of Q handful

he could make the Pentagon
more efficient. The Senate
meekly created various assist
ant secretaryships, including
one Of engineering and an
other for research and devel-
opment.
Now Wilson has arbitrarily
combined the two under the
present Assistant Secretary Of
Defense for Engineering -
Frank Newbury, who viii be

the tens of thousands Of let
tiers received by members Of
the House and Senate show
concern over the 'blank
check" asked so insistently by
the administration in the
Middle Eastern resolution now
being debated in the Senate.
The fact that Secretary
Dulles testified that under
certain circumstances we
might aid Egypt" has aroused
the suspicious Of many Sena-
tors that the $200-million dis
cretionary spending for the
balance Of this year might
eventually be translated into
a much vaster expenditure in
which everybody who is not
a actively engaged in a
cold war against us could dip
his hand. The policy Of buy
ing temporary peace might
prove exceedingly expensive
on the basis Of the history of
the last IL years. We have
spent close to 500 billion in
military and economic foreign
aid since vi day. The net
result has been that the world
situation Is more tense than
ever. The ordinary citizen
wants to know whose fault it

There are right now in
Washington representatives of

are asking for $500 million

ingly disenchanted with the
Eisenhower administration, in

No one Pentagon source or
several could strike the true

Newbury Is quoted as saying
that when present assistant

they have tried to withhold

The view expressed is that
Israel made the attack for the
limited objective Of securing
Egyptian frontiers and Aqaba
shipping. II this view prevails,
Israel could be ousted only by
force. not by resolutions or
world opinion. The question
is asked just who would en-
ploy that force. with which in
any case they feel themselves
competent TO deal.
Any intention Of annexing
GAIA is denied by Israel, at
least for the time being. But,
meanwhile, an extensive de-
velopment program has been
set up which, while keeping
GAIA inhabitants separate
from Israelis, would fully inte-
crate them. The entire eco
nomy program covers only
100000 GAIA natives, leaving
out the refugee population Of

Just why is the Federal
budget so high? Is Ike be-
coming New Dealish and a
convert to big spending?
The answer to both ques-
tons is that. once a commit
ment is made to a certain line
Of welfare expenses. the an
nual OUTLAWS grow bigger and
bigger. Whether President
Eisenhower likes it or not. he
has to go along with the pro-
grams which have been
initiated under previous adj
ministrations and which 1t is
almost impossible for him or
any future President, politi-
cally at least. to abandon.
That's the, real story Of
what's back Of the high budget.
And the lesson to be learned
is never to start any new line
Of commitments. such as Fed
eral aid to school construction,

with their eyes wide open,
realize that this means a con-
stantly increasing expendi-
lures indefinitely and not
merely, as has been repre-
scented. a temporary plan for
lust a few years."
The best way to explain the
nature of these older commit
ments and what they mean in
the course of only three years
is to examine the expenditures
for the fiscal year beginning
July l, 1854, and note the in
creases that have been made
in those same items for the
fiscal year beginning July /,
1857.
In this short interval here
are some of the increases:
/. Approximately $2.774.-
600, 900 is the result Of in
creases for military operations
and upkeep. military housing
and bases, military research,
maintenance of reserve forces,
including one item of an addi-
tional $124 million for pensions
for retired military personnel
and another increase Of $483
million to develop the atom.

year and assuring fiscal stability
Some committee Democrats
indicated that a tax cut bill
might be introduced in the House
before adjournment this year,
although its provisions probably
could not apply before early
next year. Even If the Senate
took no action at the 1857 ses-
sion. they explained, a House APP
proved bill this year would save
considerable time at the start of
the 1858 session.
Billion on Budget
The real extent and lasting
quality of House budget-cutting
on seven 1858 appropriation bills
cannot be judged at this time.
The House has trimmed a total
of more than 81 billion. from the
approximately SIS billion re-
quested by President Eisenhower
for those respective departments
and agencies. But the Senate
has not yet acted on any of those
House-approved bills.
Moreover. appropriation bills
on which the House expects to
make the biggest cuts are yet
to come out of committee. Those
are for the Departments of De-
tense and Agriculture and for
public works projects and for
eign aid.
This has led to unofficial pre-
dictions that the 1858 fiscal year
budget might be reduced be-
tween SO and 81 billion. Such a
decrease. Democrats believe,
would justify an income tax cut
without endangering the Gov
ernnlentss budgetary structure
or the national economy.
Democrats at yesterdays meet
ing said no definite decisions
were made on a tax cut, the
drafting Of a detailed bill. or
the method of tax relief. But
suggestions discussed included
several turged frequently in the
past by several prominent Dem
ocrats in both House and Senate.

Will Consider Request
On this point, administration
officials said it may be difficult
to withhold such information
from congressional committees.
But they said the new Canadian
demand would be given serious
consideration.
officials said that the demand
would require the most thorough
consultation with a number of
Government agencies dealing
with intelligence matters as well
as with congressional leaders.
Serious objection to the pro-
posed agreement from the JUS
tice Department, the Defense
Department or the White House,
for example. would make the
commitment which Canada
wants very difficult to arrange,
officials said.

from the House, which has pre-
sented a virtually united front

ton since the death of Mr..

But though the Canadian
Foreign Minister took a stiff line
yesterday. he cautioned Cana
dams once more against turning
their ire against the United
