New Appraisal Due

said would be a new look at
Soviet troop strength on the
island.

on March 81, Mr.. Kennedy said
that about 1900 Russians had
left Cuba since Soviet Premier
Khrushchev promised to with

Majority Leader
Says Ex-President

BY j. A. O'LEAR1
Star staff Writer

Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield struck back hard
last night at former President
Eisenhower's criticism Of the
Kennedy budget.
The Democratic Leader said
that Gen. Eisenhower's letter
to House Republican Leader
Halleck, comparing spending
during his administration and
now. "is another example of
how we'll the former President

aged the news and misled the
people"
Far from being a frugal
Understanding team, the
previous administration left
five budget deficits in eight
years, added $23 billion to
the national debt, incurred the
largest peacetime deficit ($l2.4
billion in 1887 in history, and
spent 1882 billion more in its
eight fiscal years than Tru-
man did in the preceding
eight" said Senator Mansfield
See "Recklessness"
In his letter to Mr.. Halleck,
Mr.. Eisenhower said it would
be fiscal recklessness" to en-
bark on lavish new spending
and a huge tax cut as proposed
by Mr.. Kennedy.
The former Republican Presi-
dent suggested that cuts could
be made in national defense
and outer space, contending
that the defense budget has
gone UP $40 billion in the last
two years.
Senator Mansfield said his
criticism Of the Eisenhower ad.
ministration is a criticism no
of its budgets but of its failure
to recognize that a growing ma.
ton and an industrious people
need and can afford growing
public services and a larger
budget"
The Democratic Leader gave
figures to show that from 1855
to 1861 expenditures rose BY
SOL billion, of which $50 bill
lion was for defense, space anc
interest, and $40 billion for al
other functions.
For the three years starting
July l, 1861, President Kennedy
has proposed increases in
spending of only $4.5 billion fol-
non-defense purposes, or $500
million less than the last three
years under Eisenhower.

Senator Mansfield admitted
that President Kennedy's in
creases for defense have beer

period. adding:

Assembly, Kills
Slot Machines
In Maryland
5-Yeur Phuseout

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. Scatter
weeks Of violent debate and
angry accusations, the Mary
land General Assembly last
night enacted legislation to
outlaw slot machines in five
years. The measure was sent
TO the Governor, whose approx
ing signature is a foregone
conclusion.
The final 25-to-3 Senate vote
came quietly. But one Southern
Maryland slots prepayment just
as quietly indicated that the
battle was not yet decided.
Remember" said Senator
John T. Parran, Democrat of
Charles, that no ballgame is
over until the last pitch. And
there'll be another ballgame
on another day" He obviously
referred to attempts to kill or
modify the law in future
sessions.
The measure, when signed by
Gov. Tawes, will eliminate over
a five-year period the slot ma
chimes in four Southern Mary
land counties where they are
now legal-Charles, Calvert,
Anne Arundel and st. Marys.
Political symbol
The slots bill was a measure
that became a political symbol
during the last election when
Gov. Tawes switched his pre-
vious stand that slots were a
local issue, and said the ma
chimes were a Statewide prob
lem. He said they should be
eliminated.
The bill threw the spotlight
Of national publicity on this
State House, triggered an ac-
cusation of attempted bribery
on the floor of the House, and
ran against the political grain
Of the States legislative sys-
tenn, which is based on local
option.
But yesterday, exhausted by
the same arguments, the Sena-
tors beat down another South
ern Maryland attempt to
amend the bill to give them

After the vote, however, the
Senate. with the blessing of

resolution asking the Legisla-
tive Council to study the eco

law on Southern Maryland.
Opponents Of the bill had
claimed that loss Of the ma
