CINE, arrived in town at 10:40
last night-displaying neither
the fiery flashes which have
given her the Dragon Lady"

personality so devastating TO
many viewing her seemingly
endless public appearances.
Instead of a tigreSs she was
merely tired kitten who
wanted to be left alone and
who greeted waiting reporters
with an injured look of how

Mrs. Nhu, accused by some
of her detractors on Capitol
Hill of frittering away Ameri-

glamorous hair dos, seemed to
be showing that she knows a
thing or two about budgets.
She took an airplane shuttle
from New York.

shake and a smile from Mamie.
In his short response to a
long evening of tributes, Gen.
Eisenhower brushed aside the
prevailing nostalgia with a re-
mark that could be interpreted
as a rebuke to Republican
reactionaries.
"A trip into nostalgia can be
beneficial" he said, but the
roadway Of life is a one-way
road. We are going into the
future. There are no U-turns
allowed. Those who try one
will be overrun."
The general went on to say
that the road of progress is
broad enough to include all
persons who want to move for

American concepts.

he continued, "let us not con-
Germ ourselves so much with

take leadership"
Defines Needed Qualities

fident that all the G. o. P.
hopefuls understand our need
for alliances and seek to
strengthen them and not de-

WASHINGTON-The Prcsi-
dents messages on the State
of the Union and the Budget
point out the paramount issue
which will give the Congress,
most concern - tax reduction.
From the standpoint Of phraS-
cology and delivery. the State
of the Union message was
probably the best which the
President has presented 60
Congress. Except for lis man
thesis of tax reduction. the
message reviewed most of the
old problems which involve
health, education, natural re-
sources, and the security of
the free world.
The Budget outlined a Sg8.6
billion budget with antiCipai-
cd revenues set at 1868 bill
lion. The Sll9 billion predict
ed deficit may be on the rosy
side Of statistics that will be
written seventeen months
from now. This budget like
the last one presented To Com
gress leaves little room for
contingencies. IL is gamble
that is based on a hope that
tax cuts which Congress may
be persuaded TO grant will
produce revenue faster than
asked for expenditures.
An analysis Of the lengthy
Budget message and the 1895
Page Budget itself discloscs
that national defense, space.
and interest on the national
debt expenditures will rise by
S4.5 billion. Other than in
crcaSes in these areas. Health.
Education and w elfarc ex-
penditurcs will rise by some
$500 million. Offsetting these
upward trends is a proposal

to be seen as to whether Con-
gress can achieve any major
cutback in agricultural spend
ing. II was unsuccessful at the
last session on this score. All
the budget requests arc tcnta-
tive amounts which are subject
to Congressional adjustment
up or down.
The national dilimna is re-
Elected in widespread feeling
that almost everybody would
like cut in taxes, but no one
has yet found an easy way 10
do SO without reducing spend
ing or mourning more national
debt. In his Budget message,
the President urged the ma
tional debt increase alternative
rather than the spending re-
duction. He estimated that I'M
der his proposed Budget that
by June 20, 1864, the national
debt limit would have to be
raised to S3l6 billion. Cur
rently the national debt stands
at about 1904 billion.
Thoughtful Americans might
reflect on the economic rcali-
ties facing the Nation which
are outlined i'll the larger view
of the Budget. Current tax
rates are not producing Suf-
fiCicnt revenue to balance the
Budget. Taxes are high and
constitute a deterrent To eco
nomic growth in the Nation.
AT the same time, il must be
recognized that taxes are high
for the simple reason that
spending is tremendous. There
are thousands of activities ana
programs which are financed
by the Federal government.
We have Worldwide commit
mentS for National defense
and security. Until crisis
arises. and the continued out
flow of our Federal gold re-
serves To other nations could
be such an event, il is far
easier To- advocate the rcduc-
ton of taxes than il is To
curtail expenditures or de-
velop other needed remedies.
1t seems pertinent To any
realistic appraisal of our eco
nomic ills that we might con-
slider an orthodox approach
unfettercd by economic thcor-
les. Simply stated we must
consider our needs as dis
tinguiShcd from our desires.
our essential obligations. and
ask ourselves how much we
are willing to tax ourselves to
pay for them.
intend TO listen with an
open mind To all the argu-
mentS concerning tax re-
duction. Our economic ills are
matters of grave concern.
Some adjustment is in order.
The issue confronting Com
greSS is over the best approach
to the solution of the problem.
