Senator Fulbright did get a
rollcall vote in which he was
deserted by Is Democrats and
aided by five Republicans. Re-
publicans frankly said they
were hearing from the White
House in opposition TO the bill.
Many pious tributes to small
business came from the Full
bright opposition with prom
Uses later to help the little
fellow. But veteran legislators
had noted that the tax meas
ure to which the amendment
was attached had been slowed
up along the way so that the
pressure of a deadline could be
adduced as an argumen t
against amendments.
Still to come is that other
project of the conservative
coalition-the bill TO free nat
ural gas producers from Fed
eral regulation. Having been
burned by it last year. neither
the White House nor the
Southern leadership wants to
take the onus Of introducing it
again. President Eisenhower
said a kind word for it at his
press conference but said he
had no bill in mind. Senator
johnson and Speaker Rayburn
are trying to sit him out but
the heat is on from Texas.

Bipartisan Farley Set
On Presidential Disability

President Eisenhower today
called a bipartisan meeting of
congressional leaders for 20 am.
tomorrow TO discuss a proposed
constitutional amendment to
provide for the exercise OF ex-
ecutive authority in the case Of
temporary disability of a Presi-
dent.
/ The President told a news
conference yesterday that an
administration study on the sub
ject had been completed but
that he wanted to discuss it with
congressional leaders before
sending specific recommended
tions to Congress.
He explained the purpose is to
clear up the whole situation"
as to how Vice President might
take over temporarily as acting
Chief Executive If a President
ever should be unable to carry
out his duties.
The question has been the
subject of considerable study and
speculation since Mr.. Eisenhower
suffered a heart attack in Sep
TENDER, 1855. He was hospitalized
then for seven weeks but after
the first few days was able to
perform essential duties.
Democratic and Republican
leaders of both the Senate and
House. together with the chair
men and ranking Republican
members of the judiciary Com
mittees of both branches of
Congress were invited to the
White House conference tomor-
row.

Major Budget Cuts Unlikely

This is not all. A new pipe
line from Iraq through Turkey
is being planned to offset the
need to transport oil through
the Nasser-owned Suez Canal.
The cost is estimated at be-
tween $500 and $3.50 million.
None of the countries directly
interested in this important
and necessary program has the
means to stand such an ex-
penditure. Hence it looks as if
Uncle Sam will have to come
forth with the necessary cash.
All this adds up to the fact
that even in the unlikely event
that the administration yields
to depriving the pro-Commu-
mist neutralists of the present
American economic and flnan-
cial assistance. only relatively
little fat will be trimmed from
the present heavy foreign aid
program. Hence the economy
minded Congressman will have
to look to domestic budget re-
auctions if they want to COM
ply with the ever-growing de-
mand of the voters to cut the
budget to a more normal size

need not have sent a navy or
air force to the coasts Of
Britain but could have used
other means, such as rocket
technique"
This was widely interpreted
at the time as meaning that,
if the British and French
didn't withdraw their troops
from the Suez area, the Soviets
might feel justified in using
rockets or guided missiles
against London and Paris.
What the Soviets could threat
en- once. they might threaten
to do again. But the British
and French have had no guided
missiles for defense. Hence
the United States has agreed
to provide them to Britain at
once. and 80 it is limited that
France also will get them soon.
The world doesn't know the
whole story yet about guided
missiles. and there are varying
reports as to how far advanced
the development of this weapon
really is. But certainly short
range missiles for defense are
already being produced in
quantity. They can intercept
other missiles and planes.
When long-range missiles for
offense are perfected in a few
years. they will play a devastat-
ing part in any future war.
So, while there is much in
the press about the friction in
local areas like the Middle
East, the big developments are
in the military position of the
Soviet Union as against the
Western powers. The Moscow
regime has just reacted sharply
against allowing guided mis-
SileS to be uSed--by the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
from bases in Norway. which
is a member of NATO. This
is a very significant develop
ment in the cold war" and
indicates that Soviet Russia is
well aware of the Importance
of the guided missile in that
area, especially when Norway
has about 100 miles of border
alongside Russia itself. The
SovietS, too. are keeping their
eye on the ball.

sions which can be of far
reaching Importance in world
affairs.
Thus the British govern
ment does not intend to
change its own policy, which
recognizes the Peiping govern
ment. but at the same time no
effort will be made by Britain
to back Red China's effort to
replace Nationalist China on
the U. N. Security Council.
British officials have made it
clear that they now better
understand Americas position
and. judging by the way the
Afro-Asian bloc has been
behaving inside the U. NJ. the
British do not see that the
cause of the free world will be
aided hereafter by letting
Communist China become a
permanent member of the
Security Council.
This is a gratifying develop
ment to Americans. While the
British still hope for an abate-
ment of some of the severe
restrictions on trading with
Red China, they do see the
wisdom Of keeping the Peiping
regime out of the Security
Council. For, after all, the
U. N. itself in 1851 formally
declared Red China an ag-
greSsor and nothing has been
done since by the Peiping
government to atone for its
many international crimes.

Eisenhower Favorable to Some Reductions
But Wants to Avoid Foreign Aid SIoshes

President Eisenhower has
told the Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders of Congress that
while he is favorable to modest
here and there" cuts in the
gigantic budget of $72 billion
for the coming fiscal year,
they should avoid any major
reductions in the foreign aid
program. The policymakers in
the White House and the State
Department find this method
of diplomacy best for our
country. 1t is also the easiest
for the American diplomats,
since 1t requires no particular
strain on their initiative and
imagination. Our representa-
tives travel across the globe
with sackfuls of dollars. The
only trouble they have en-
countered is from a very few
countries which for some rea-
son or other don't want our
moneys.
The present Congress, like
all its predecessors, is strongly
economy minded" That is to
say that some Of the con-
sentative leaders in both
parties are opposed to the in
ternational and domestic ey-
travaganzas which have been
going on continually since the
end OF the war at the expense
of the taxpayer. These men
make speeches denouncing the
administrations Iavishness and
shed bitter tears for the poor
overwhelmed American citi-
zens-particularly those in the
low and the middle income
brackets. But eventually they
go along with the administra-
ton, satisfied with only some
small reductions
For instance. the budget
presented to Congress for the
1858 fiscal years contains ex-
penditures amounting to s72
billion. There was a hue and
cry when it was received on
Capitol Hill, where the Pres
ident was accused OF trans
hitting the request of each
department and agency with
out even an attempt on the
part of the Budget Bureau to
analyze the legitimacy of the
proposed expenditures. The
legislators said in speeches and
statements that the amount
was preposterous considering
that We are not in a shooting
war. But in recent days it APP
pears that the cuts will not
exceed S2.5 to So billion. This
represents approximately the
amount Of padding contained
in the budget. All Government
departments expect to have
their estimates reduced by
Congress. Hence they add be-
tween 5 and Is per cent beyond
the necessary amount. They
want to be politically helpful
TO the legislators and give
them a chance to show 1.-The
boys back home" that they are
mindful of their pocketbooks.
Then there is a hassle in COM
mitteeS and on the floor and
eventually the budget is APP
proved exactly as the executive
branch wanted it-minuS the
padding put in for the political
convenience OF the legislators.
