Hospital Center.
Hospital officials said today the

tanned. viii keep the hospital

necessary for its opening.
Leaders Of the hospital project
weeks ago asked for the extra
81 million after unexpected price
boosts made it impossible to nm
ish the new center within the
SILT million already appropri-
ated.
Charles s. Dewey, president Of
the center, said today he hopes
to persuade the administration
and Congress to grant the full
81 million, despite the Budget
Bureaus action. Hospital officials
today conducted Mai. Gen. How
lard Nice. Synder, President Ell

a tour Of the big 800-bed hos
pital plant.
Snyder Indicates Sympathy
Gen. Snyder afterwards had no
comment. But he indicated to
officials sympathy with the hos
pitfalls financial situation.
Included in Budget Bureau
slashes was q $500, 900 air-con-
ditioning system for the hospi-
tails nursing school. Other equip
ment not yet purchased covers q
wide range.
Neill p. Thompson. architect
and hospital consultant with
the Public Buildings Service,
told Gen. Snyder that the new
hospital did not have frills and
that any omission caused by
failure to obtain the needed
funds would make 1t SUBJ
standard.
DR.. Herbert Ramsey, former
president Of the District Medical
Society, who accompanied Gen.
Snyder on today's tour. strongly
backed the request for the adj
ditional 81 million.

Offset by Fund Shift

The House Appropriations
Committee today voted to cut
s2.5 billion from the 1851 billion
defense budget. but offset q
substantial part Of the reduction
by reshufiiing funds the services
already have on hand.
In actual new money, the bill
carries only $33.5 billion for al
the services in the year starting
July l, as compared with S34.t
billion appropriated last year
The committee said It found
that the military threat to tho

respects. to have somewhat

The SIS billion cut in new
funds Is z per cent Of the Presi.

that it would be supreme folly"
for America to stop or cripple
aid to its allies through an
overweaning zeal to scrimp."
His request for mutual secur-
lily funds was $685. million less
than estimated in his January
budget message.
In the face of a surging econ
omy drive in Congress, the Presi-
dent argued forcefully that the
Government should hold fast"
to that figure.
Sees Investment Return
"The tested and proven mutual
security programs he declared,
give the American people more
security per dollar invested than
any other expenditure they
make"
He insisted that the only
sound way for us to achieve a
substantial tax reduction" is to
succeed in waging peace" so
that heavy military expenses
could be cut safely.
Refusal to support adequately
the crucial security programs
now, "by encouraging agrees
sion and discouraging our
friends" would risk forcing our
own defense spending to a level
far higher than it is today" Mr..
Eisenhower asserted.
AS anticipated. the President
recommended some major
changes in the mutual security
program so as to facilitate more
efficient and economical admin
istration as well as make a
clearer distinction between its
military and economic aspects.
Principal Recommendations
His principal legislative rec
concentrations were that:
l. Defense aid appropriations,
for which he asked $l.9 billion
for military equipment and serv.
ices and 5000 million for "de-
Tense support" be included as q
separate title in the regular
Defense Department budget.
2. A Development Loan Fund
be set up to handle long-term
economic development aid. with
an appropriation of $500 million
for the next fiscal year and au-
thority to borrow from the
Treasury in succeeding years.
8. Establishment of a $500
million special assistance" fund
to provide limited economic aid
grants, to meet unforeseen mill
tary aid requirements, and to
meet emergencies and contin-
gencies that require waiver Of
certain restrictive legal iprovi-
sions to protect the Nations Sc.
curity interests"
For both the defense and eco
nomic aid part of the program,
