In Business
Emphasizes Need
For Balanced Budget
WASHINGTON VP) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday
painted a rosy picture of the na-
tion's economy and said his ad-
ministration has laid a firm base
for "a period of sound growth."
And Eisenhower placed at the
feet of his successor, President-
elect .John F. Kennedy, the key
role in spurring the growth. With-
out naming Kennedy, the Presi-
dent said the federal policies
needed could, to a considerable
extent, be achieved "administra-
tively and require no legislative
action by Congress."
Eisenhower's annual economic
report-his last big message to
Congress-fisted 14 "important
matters" on which he said Con-
gressional action is needed. Most
of these, however, he has already
called for in one form or another.
Plea for Balance
None of the proposalsi could be
called an anti-recession measure,
such as some economic experts
say are needed to spur the fal-
tering economy. Heading Eisen-1
hower's list was a plea to keep his
new $81 billion federal budget in
balance and keep inflation under;
control.
The whole tone of Eisenhower's
message was opposite to the only
comparable document, a report on
Jan. 5 to Kennedy by his eco-
nomic task force.
That Democratic group recom-
mended swift emergency measures
to combat the business slump, but
cautioned against pushing the
panic button.
Extend Compensation
Among other things it called for
extending unemployment compen-
sation pay, along with other pro-
grams to raise federal outlays by
$3 billion to $5 billion in the year
starting next July 1.
Eisenhower conceded that Con-
gress might supplement jobless
pay in "periods of especially high
rates of unemployment." But
newsmen were told by his eco-
nomic advisers that the present
rate of 6.8 per cent jobless isn't
high enough to justify federal
aid.
The President's message no-
where spoke of a recession, busi-
ness tip or downturn as occur-
ring in the final months of his
administration.
Eisenhower said "economic ac-
tivity continues high as the year
1961 begins, despite declines in
production and employment that
have occurred since the middle of
1960."
Then suggesting ways in which
he expects this trend to be stop-
ped, Eisenhower said:
"Consumer outlays may be ex-
pected to increase as the factors
of expansion raise personal in-
come, and especially if the prices
of consumer goods remain free
from inflationary pressures,
"An increase in general econom-
ic activity should not, according-
ly, be long delayed."
Lumumba
Imprisoned
In Katan ga
JACOTVILLE, The Congo (P) -
Patrice Lumumba was locked upJ
yesterday in this province's most]
secure prison, nursing cuts and'
bruises from a severe beating by
Katanga police.
The Katanga government of
President Moise Tshombe, which
seceded from the Congo during
Lumumba's turbulent term as pre-
mier, announced he was brought
to Katanga because the Thysville'
military camp in the Leopoldville'
area was not secure enough to
prevent his escape.
Troops at Thysville rioted over
pay last Friday and Lumumba
was freed briefly during the con-
fusion.
Apparently shaken by the inci-
dent, Congo President Joseph
Kasavubu ordered him transferred
to Katanga. Tshombe's govern-
ment said Kasavubu issued the
order because "the Thysville pris-
on did not offer sufficient guar-
antees." Kasavubu and Tshombe
have resumed political contacts
since the president dismissed
Lumumba as premier last Sep-
tember.
Swedish United Nations troops,
following orders not to intervene
in Congolese politics, did not stop
the beating administered Lumum-

Asks Reform
In Agriculture
MOSCOW (1P) - So much that
is wrong with Soviet agriculture
has been disclosed in a nine-day
session of the Communist Party's
central committee that stern
measures taken by Premier Nikita
S. Khrushchev seem to be the
minimum necessary to whip up
production.
Theft of crops, bribery of manu-
facturers in order to get tractors,
faked harvest reports designed to
hide production failures-all these
have been brought out under bit-
ing questions of Khrushchev at:
the assembly which ended yester-
day.
Khrushchev told farm leaders
and local party officials that pro-
duction in their areas is going to
be the deciding factor as to
whether they stay in power.
"These jobs are not hereditary,"
he warned.
Those who produced well got
kindly words. Those who slacked
off got a public blistering._
High officials and low have
heard Khrushchev's upbraiding in
meetings behind closed doors and
then have seen the whole affair
published in Pravda. With its
many local editions, Pravda blan-
kets the Soviet Union.
The effort to make this coun-
try produce more than the United
States is more than an obsession
with Khrushchev. He is prepared
to make a grand tour to tell Rus-
sian farmers personally how "to
grow more corn, how fat to make
their hogs before butchering and,
above all, howe to fire farm mana-
gers with sloppy records in the
bad seasons of 1959-60.

Back Sabotage
Many United States-based an-T

the acts of sabotage and bomb-

Does Batista himself, now living
in exile on the Portuguese island
of Madeira, have a hand in coun-
ter-revolutionary plots?
Informed sources believe not.
Batista, vacationing last week
near Lisbon, recently told news-
men he had not changed his mind
about Castro, whom he called "ob-
sessed by blood and inspired by
Communism."
Batista said Cuba can only be
saved if "anti-Communist Cub-
