Republican leaders predicted
today the administration win

without deficit spending, but
the total Of the new budget
may not be settled at today's
White House conference.
President Eisenhower OUT
lined his new legislative pro-
gram in general terms as the
top @. o. p. members Of both
houses gathered at the White
House at 9 o'clock this morn
ing.
In contrast to yesterdays BIZ
partisan meeting on defense
and foreign policy. the Repub-
lican session today dealt pri-
marily with the domestic pro-
gram.
Senator Dirksen of Illinois,
Republican whip. said the total

Some Portions Unsettled
Later. James c. Hagerty. !
White House press secretary
said he did not think there
would be a firm budget total
available today because some
parts Of the defense program
are still being worked on.
Mr.. Eisenhower remained In
the conference room for nearly
an hour while the budget was
being discussed. He left about
IL am. when Labor Secretary
Mitchell. Agriculture Secretary
Benson and Attorney General
Rogers began discussing de-
tailed legislation in their de-
partments.
Senator Bridges Of New
Hampshire. chairman Of the
Senate Republican Policy Com
mittee. said today q 50 billion
increase in the outlay for mis-
siles. anti-submarine devices
and outer space science Is justi-
fed by Soviet advances. But
he fastened 70 add:
Il believe cuts can be made
elsewhere in defense and other
activities. so that the overall
budget win be no higher than
this year. ! am sure President
Eisenhower is making every ef-
fort TO keep 1t within that
framework"
The total spending estimate
for the current year. ending
next June. is $72 billion. Of
which 1884 billion IS for mill
tary purposes. The Repub-
lican leaders expect to get a
preview today Of what the
overall budget for the year
starting next July viii total.
After yesterdays bipartisan
pow-wov several high-leveI
Democrats said they felt let
down by what they described
as a lack Of urgency in the
Administrations defense and
foreign policy proposals.
But the Republican leaders
defended the White House APP
proach to the requirements Of
the present world situation.

and which no doubt the White House at Newport, Rhode IS
land, is contemplating.
GOVERNOR FAUBUS Of Arkansas may be trying hard
to become a martyr. By calling out the National Guard and
claiming that it is in the name Of law and order, and to pro-
tect the peace, and by surrom ding his home with the same
troops because his life is being threatened, he is building up
such sentiment that any step whatever BY the Federal Gov
eminent would be made to appear as an imposition and inter
ference with his lofty and peaceful motives.
FORTUNATELY, H matter will be fought out in
the courts before any troops are involved. It is hoped that by
the time the Justice Department, acting on request from Fed
eral Judge Davies, who handed down the order, takes action,
there will be enough public sentiment to convince Governor
Faubus that the course he is following is not only wrong but
dangerous.
