AGRICULTURE
AND RESOURCES

The President blamed Con-
gress' refusal to lower price
supports for the continuing high
cost Of the farm program, and
emphasized his demand for re-
ductionS in wheat crops-even
though his recommendation
would not help the fiscal 1861
budget.
He proposed extension and
expansion of the soil bank con-
servation reserve, under which
crop land is retired from pro-
duction for Federal payment.
The limit on Federal payments
should be increased from $3.50
million to $500 million, he said.
The S2.3 billion expenditure
for price supports is included in
an estimated outlay of $3.9 bill
Eon-up $3.50 million-for all
programs of agricultural sta
OIALLdIlOIl.
Spending for agricultural
conservation payments is sched-
uled to decline by $11 million.
to $233 million. The President
asked a sharp cutback in the
program.
Estimating expenditures for
rural electrification and phone
loans at 1855 million, an in
crease of $2l million, the Pres
ident renewed his requests for
authority to raise interest rates
above the 2 per cent ceiling,
and said legislation should be
developed to reduce depend
ence on Government financing.
Spending on farm ownership
and operating loans is expected
to decline by $l2 million, to
1929 million, and research and
other programs are scheduled
to rise in cost by $27 million,
to 1925 million.
The $l.2 billion budgeted for
water resource projects covers
1865 million to continue prof.
ects started earlier, $12 million
for advance planning and $l8
million to start AZ new projects
which eventually will cost $496
million. Mr.. Eisenhower last
year vetoed public works bills
because they provided for new
starts, but he reversed his posi-
ton this year.
He proposed legislation to
preserve three undeveloped
shore areas for public use.

Disappointment Noted
Space committee sources on
both sides of Capitol Hill ex-
pressed both disappointment

that a $23 million supplement

1t was explained that the

bility rests on "a sound dollar"
The budgets contribution to
the soundness of the dollar is
it's $4.2 billion surplus-a sur
plus the President insisted must

The budget surplus is to be
attained by holding the in

STA billion, while the soaring
economy pourS an extra $5.4
billion into the Treasury.
Mr.. Stans said the budget is
realistic" and it is confident
in the ways that a budget must
always be confident about its
own assumptions.
It has faith that the econ
omy will continue growing for
the next 10 months, without
another crisis like the steel
strike. which apparently cost
the Government about $400
million in revenue.
Many economists think, how
ever. that the growth in the
economy has been understated
in this budget, so the risk in
this prediction may be smaller
than usual.
Farm Price Supports
Unanticipated revenues will
be welcome. because some of
the projected expenditures are
simply not subject to human
control. The farm price sup
port program is a prime ex-
ample. Budget-makers have
set aside $2.3 billion for this
in fiscal 1861, on the assump-
ton that crop yields will be
about average. But the esti-
mate for the same item in the
current fiscal year has just
to be about $700 million
too high. and good growing
weather could throw the 1861
estimate as far off in the other
direction.

With this message, transmit
ting the Budget of the United
States for the fiscal year 1861,
I invite the Congress to join
with me in a determined effort
to achieve a substantial sur
plus. This will MAKE possible a
reduction in the national debt.
The proposals IN this budget
demonstrate that this objective
can be attained while at the
same time maintaining required
military strength and enhanc-
ing the national welfare.
The budget attests to the
strength of Americas economy.
At the same time, the budget is
a test of our resolve, as a ma
ton. to allocate our resources
prudently, to maintain the Ma
tion's security, and to extend
economic growth into the future
without imitation.
In highlight, this budget pro-
poses:
/. Revenues of $84 billion
ard expenditures Of $79.8 bill
lion. leaving a surplus of $4.2
billion. This surplus should be
applied to debt reduction, which
I believe to be a prime element
in sound fiscal policy for the
Nation at this time.

military functions of the De-

will provide the strong and

A half-trillion dollar econ
omy, a comfortably balanced
Federal budget, and the chance
for the next President to rec
ommend a tax cut.
That was the prospect fol
America painted by President
Eisenhower today in his budget
message to Congress for the
1861 fiscal year.
The message was, from be-
ginning to end, an expression
of the administrators policy
of economic prudence" the
conviction, as Secretary of the
Treasury Anderson put it, that
"only with a sound economy
and sound money can the ne
cessary and desirable programs
of the Government long
be sustained"
The Presidents proposals
ran into a cool reaction on
Capitol Hill. however. Demo-
Gratis generally expressed doubt
that the $4.2 billion surplus
would materialize. Republicans
said whether it does will de-
pend on actions by Congress,
which the Democrats control.
Members of both parties in
dicated that the Presidents re-
quests for increases in postal
rate and the gasoline tax
would have "a pretty rough
time" as Speaker Rayburn
put it.
Senator Mansfield called the
Presidents statement that it
might be possible to reduce
taxes in 1861 more political
than practical"
Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee called the budget "a great
disappointment to all who ex-
pected a reduction in expendi-
lures" House Republican
Leader Halleck, on the other
hand, called it a promise" Of
debt reduction and a "chal-
lenge" to hold the line against
spending.
The President found the
economy more than sound. He
found it booming. He projected
an increase in the gross ma
tional product-the aggregate
value of goods and services
from $3.50 billion in 1859 to
$50 billion in 1860.
That is a growth rate of 6
per cent for the year, higher
even than the 5 per cent per
year most Democratic leaders
have said is necessary to en-
able the United States to meet
its responsibilities.
Factors in Boom
But special factors have fed
this 1860 boom. Mr.. Anderson
told his press conference it is
augmented by additional pro-
ductlon which had been post
poned because of shortages
during the steel Strike-the
same steel strike which inter-
rupted the growth of the econ
omy in the last half of 1859.
That high rate of growth is
good news, the Secretary said,
because I'VE have an obligation
to get as high rate as posi-
ble." But the fundamentals of
economic policy remain un-

Defense Fund of Sal Billion
Continues Big ronsition'
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star Staff Writer

A SAL billion military budget
carrying forward lone of the
greatest transitions in history
was presented to Congress to-
day by President Eisenhower.
But though the transition
from conventional-type to
misSile-type warfare"-will be
a spectacular one in the long
run, today's military budget
did not carry any great sur
prises.
No fantastic" new weapons
are evident, but. the number OF
big missiles planned for will be
increased by one-third.
The reason this is an un-
remarkable budget is that the
administration started several
years ago on program of or
derly, grandual transition to
the new weapons. This budget
merely recommends one more
annual step along that path,
Ready for Any Contingency
The change is from planes
and guns hurling TINT explo-
siveS at the enemy to missiles
carrying nuclear heads. The
change. Mr.. Eisenhower said
today, must be made with care.
mindful that the one type of
warfare cannot be safely ne
elected in favor of the others.
Our military forces must be
capable Of contending success
fully with any contingency
which may be forced upon us
from limited emergencies to
all-out nuclear general war"
This is the same path, Pen
tagon spokesmen say, that So
Wet Premier Khrushchev an
nounced last week, which the
Red army, navy and air force
will take. Manpower, particu-
larly on the ground, is sched-
uled to be cut in the Soviet
Union. while nuclear weapons
and missiles are multiplied.
This country already has cut
its ground troops to what the
Army says is absolute rock
bottom. Some Navy and Air
Force personnel will be cut
slightly this year to meet new
ceilings in this budget. And
missile strength will grow
while planes and big guns di-
minish in Importance.
Pentagon military spending
for the fiscal year 1861, starting
July /, will total $40.995 billion
under today's budget. Spending
will be an estimated S40.945 bill
lion during the current fiscal
year. A close look shows that:
Army, Navy and Air Force
spending during fiscal 1861
will be about the same as 1860.
The Navy's new obligational
authority"-permission to buy
more in the future-will go up:
Air Forces new obligational
authority will be down; the
Army's will remain the same.
Money for missiles goes up,
for planes down.
The number of military per-
sonnel will be less, but man
power costs will be higher.
Army moderization money
will be increased slightly.
Shipbuilding will be in
creased.

Or at least that will be the
story if Congress approves the
Presidents budget as recon-
mended. In recent years Con-
gress has made few changes of
significance.
Aircraft Budget Slashed
The big missile program will
get more money but the planes
they are designed to replace
still will eat up about twice as
much.
The intercontinental and in
termediate range missile pro-
grams-Atlas, Titan, Minute
man and Polaris-will contract

next fiscal year for all develop
ment. purchasing, construction,
and shipbuilding. There is no
directly comparable aircraft fig
ure, but the new obligational
authority for aircraft develop
ment and procurement will
total $50 billion down from this

year. Total missile money, in
cluding that for small and
middle sized missiles, will be
up 5 per cent. almost to 81
billion.
More Atlas Titan SquadrOns
The Atlas-Titan ICBM pro-
gram will be increased from 20
Squadrons of 10 missiles each to
27 squadrons. Congress last
year asked for %.
Also in the big missile pro-
gram is money to complete
three more Polaris submarines
