President Eisenhower's in

ously likely to produce what
to him will be the wrong kind
of savings in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
They are equally likely,
moreover, to result in the re-
verse of savings in those very
areas where he and the more
conservative members Of his
Cabinet are most determined
to cut down.

Democrats and Of some re-

foreShadow these ultimatere-
suits in the budget fight:
! Deep Congressional re-
ductions in the Administra-
tons mutual security, or
foreign aid, program. This,
ABOVE all, the President wants
to keep intact. This of all his
enterprises is closest to his
heart.
To continue foreign aid he
has asked $3,900,000,000, or
about $800,000,00 more than
Congress allowed for the cur
rent year. The expert con-
sensus at the Capitol is that
he will be very fortunate not
to lose a billion dollars, at
least, from his request here.
And this is the one place, the
President has said, where the
knife ought not to be applied.

Eisenhower and the Budget

in the most relative and
theoretical sense.
All the same, past expert
ence suggests that the reduc-
lions sure to be made will be
cried up as though Congress
had halfway repudiated for
eign aid.
Thus, the administration
has now a peculiarly acute
problem. Obviously, the
President cannot simply
abandon his basic and gen.
eral ampaign against
spending"
On the other hand, he can
not wisely be too loud in pro-
claiming dire results if Con-
gress does not follow his lead
completely on foreign aid.
The wise approach would
seem to begin now frankly
to prepare Allied opinion by
discounting the inevitable
coming foreign aid reduction
simply by putting it into
proper perspective.
An even more basic prob
lem, however, has no visible
solution whatever. Federal
expenditures are becoming so
vast and so diffuse in purpose
as to raise a serious question
whether any President or
Congress will be able within
a few years actually to con-
troll any budget.
May not internal events, as
for illustration sudden bust
ness recessions, or external
events Instantly requiring vast
OUTLAWS in the cold war, be-
come the real future masters
of the budget?
This is the creeping night
mare of some fiscal conserva-
tives. 1t is not so much the
level of present spending that
they fear. 1t is the possibility
that men may lose to the
robots of circumstance the
very power effectively to con-
troll spending at all.

There is one hitch. 1t is
being said that Mr.. Dewey
has a positiveness Of person.
atty which comes from hav-
ing been in official positions
where he has been giving
rather than taking orders
and that hence he wouldn't
work as well in a team as
some of the others mem
toned. He and Mr.. Dulles,
however, are the closest OF
friends. 1t was Gov. Dewey
who appointed John Foster
Dulles to be United States
Senator from New York when
a vacancy occurred in l949.
The question is how Ike
and Tom Dewey would get
along in an administrative
procedure where the Presi-
dent is accustomed to listen
ing to advice but must give
the orders finally. Once this
point Is resolved, the guess
ing game as to who would
become Secretary of State
takes on a different aspect.
Everything really depends
on how much time and energy
Mr.. Dulles would be able to
give to the job in the re-

Eisenhower term. If he can
travel around and concen-
trate on certain phases OF
world policy, without assum-
ing the responsibility for the
actual operation of the State
Department, then Mr.. Herter,
Mr.. Dillon or former Sem
ator Lodge might be chosen
Secretary of State. If Mr..
Dulles can play the role only
of a part-time adviser and it
becomes necessary for the
new Secretary of State him
self to do the work abroad
of personal contact and
face-to-face diplomacy, then
the chances for the appoint

Congressman React Mildly to Evidence
That Soyiets Shot Down u. S. Plane

between tribes in Singkiang
or Outer Mongolia. The re-
sponsibility for this attitude
of our legislators rests with
the American people them
selves.
Members Of both houses Of
Congress react speedily to
letters, telephone calls and
kilograms from voters. This
is particularly true now when
we are approaching a presi-
Dental election. But 1t is
noteworthy that an insignif-
icant number of letters has
been received by members of
either house showing public
concern over the incident. If
the American people do not
care about the wanton Slay-
ing of their boys, why should
their Congressmen?
This attitude is in contrast
with the past. When the news
flashed on the Japanese sink
ing of the American gunboat
Panay in 1887 an avalanche
of mail poured on the desks
of Congressman asking for
action. The administration
sent drastic notes to Tokyo
although in that case there
may have been originally
some doubt whether the
bombing was done by mistake
or as a provocation.
Immediately after the war
Yugoslavia attacked two UNI
armed American transports
flying from Vienna to Ven
ice. They lost their way in
bad weather and violated
Yugoslav airspace. Tito's avn

the Americans without warm

Have the American people
lost their capacity for be-

being kicked around and
slapped in the face?
Judging from the reactions
produced by the release Of the

between the pilots of the three
Soviet planes which attacked
an unarmed American mill
tary transport plane with the
known death Of six Ameri-
can soldiers and the unknown
fate of eleven others, 1t would
seem that the American pub
lie has ceased to care (vo-
cally at least).
Senator Frank Lausche
read the release from the
State Department on the Sen
ate floor with some bitter
comments. Only one Senator,
H. Styles Bridges. rose to ex-
press his indignation over the
wanton murder of American
military personnel by the So
Wet air force.
Nobody heard the golden
voices of those legislators who
miss no opportunity to pro-
test, for instance. our support
of "dictatorial regimes" such
as Chang Kai-shek's in free
China.

more than once the vibrant
voice of Senator Jack Ken

outrages of the French gov
eminent in fighting the Al

neither he nor those who ia
