usually large outlays. He did
not identify the bills.
His comments on the fiscal
generosity Of Congress were in
contrast to a charge made
earlier by Chairman Cannon
of the House Appropriations
Committee that the admins
tration rather than Congress
was mainly to blame for the
$72 billion appropriation total
at the last session.
Budget Cuts Planned
Mr.. Eisenhower made clear
that his administration intends
to cut its budget requests to
the incoming Congress next
January. He said he was going
10 study each budget request
submitted to him by Federal
agencies and see if it can be
diminished for the benefit of
America"
AS for taxes, Mr.. Eisenhower
indicated there would be little
chance of a tax cut recon-
mendation early next year. He
said that at this moment he
did not care to comment on
whether a tax increase might
be desirable to help reduce a
threatened $12-billion deficit
for the current fiscal year.
Commenting on the nomina-
lions of Nelson A. Rockefeller
for Governor Of New York and
Representative Kenneth B.
Heating for Senator, the Presi-
dent emphatically declared it
a fine ticket.
Expected to Aid Ticket
He added he hoped they
both would win. Mr.. Rookie
Teller is slated to run against
Democratic Gov. Averell Har-
riman. Mr.. Heating will be
opposed in the general election

in the November elections. Mr.
Eisenhower grinned and quickly
offered a prediction that Re-
publican candidates will win.
He noted that some 200 bill
still are awaiting his signature
or disapproval and that many
of them we're rushed through
in the final days of the session
He said he preferred to wait
a week or ten days before max.
ing a detailed appraisal of tn,
achievements and Shortcomings
of the session that ended last
Sunday morning.
Saddened by Aid Cut
While commencing Congress,
for its constructive work ir
foreign affairs, he said his
greatest disappointment wa
the failure of Congress to ap.
propriate the full $50 billion
ne requested for the mutua
security program.
Congress provided $3.2 billion
Mr.. Eisenhower said he only
hopes that this total will bt
SUFFICIENT. He nevertheless:
added that he thought Con-
gress could have done better
The President also expressed
regret that Congress enacted
no legislation to cope with cor
ruption in the labor manage
ment field. He did not specif1-
cally mention the fate of the
Kennedy-IveS bill.
He said Congress showed a
tendency to spend more money
than should be spent. He de-
clared that the Republican
congressional leadership, how
ever, helped greatly to shelve
a few bills that called for I'M

slowly" Newsweek said.
After reading the item. Mr..
Spivak asked:
"Is that story correct?"
Mr.. Eisenhower replied:
mo. that story is not cor
rect.
But the story is this: I have
said here that I, would never
give an opinion about my con-
victions about the Supreme
Court decisions because such a
statement would have to in
dictate either approval or dis
approval. and / was never 60
ing to do it about any Of their

Nov, with respect to the

that I said something about

Too Many Mistakes

The nomination of Bernard Flana-
gan to the Civil Service Commission is
now undergoing Senate consideration.
Mr.. Flanagan made at least six
mistakes" between 1851 and 1854 in
filling out various Government forms
and job applications. In applying for
a job in 1851, he claimed degree from
Norwich University which he did not
have. He claimed he had completed four
years at the school and that he had
earned 100 hours of credits. Neither
claim was correct. He also claimed that
he had completed three years of work
at Columbus University Law School.
This was not correct and there were
other similar mistakes.
