Budget Post for Bell
Return Engagement

The Pomona College basket

distinction In 1899, even If its
athletic efforts went unrecog-
nized outside Claremont, Calf.
It's five starters included four
Phi Beta Kappas. one Of them
a lanky center named David
Elliot Bell.
THE fifth fellow was the
only good basketball player in
the lot" was yesterdays con-
fession by Mr.. Bell. who has
since found his Phi Beta Kappa
key somewhat more useful
than his athletic agility.
The 6-foot, 412-inch, 190-
pound one-time Pomona center
has been selected by President
elect Kennedy to be Director of
the Budget Bureau. He will
specialize in juggling the $50
billion-a-year national budget
for a salary of $22. .500-and
may wish at times that he was
back peacefully dribbling a bas-
ketball down the court at Po-
mona.
He was what would call q
hard-headed guy, not a bookish-
type student" recalled Stephen
I. Zetterberg, a Pomona lawyer
who was year ahead of Mr..
Bell. He was always looking
for the answers and, If he
wasn't satisfied, he would dig
deeper. He had a truly in
quiring mind"
(Mr. Bell wore sandals
sometimes and on occasion
went to class barefooted,

Has Budget Experience
Mr.. Bell, who will be a on
Inauguration day. is two years
younger than Senator Kennedy.
but richer in White House
and budget experience. He
worked for Harry Truman at
the White House and has done
three tours Of duty at the
Budget Bureau, the first in a
low echelon job for Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
Like President.elect Kennedy
he is a stout believer in the
principle of a balanced budget,
Mr.. Bell declared yesterday as
he faced TV cameras with
President Eisenhower's budget
director. Maurice H. Stans.
Keeping the books in balance
will be his goal. he said, except
when a national emergency |
or a severe recession takes |
precedence over fiscal tidiness. |

that 1t would bankrupt the

matter came before the Finance
Committee and was fought out
In the post-convention session
Of Congress last August. The
Senate voted 81 to II in op-
position to the Democratic plat
form proposal, and instead
adopted q fair plan for medical

might easily become excessive.
there are such proposals as

guarantees Of Government pro-
NOTED economic growth at the
rate Of five per cent a year.
Federal aid for school construc-

forth.
II have tried to estimate the
cost Of these platform recon-
mendations: this is impossible.
but they are certain to increase
annual budget expenditures by
billions Of dollars. These would
be added to the public debt
