Appropriations Slice
WASHINGTON (RP)-Sen. Lyn-
don B. Johnson (D-Tex) has
launched a sharpshooting attack
on President Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er's budget that promises to make
governmental economy a major
issue in next year's election cam-
paign for control of Congress.
Sen. Johnson, the Senate Dem-
ocratic leader, is frankly out to
slice President Eisenhower's mon-
d ey requests on a selective basis.
If the cuts he helps engineer fall
heaviest on executive departments
-and not on flood control dams
and power projects - none of his
colleagues will be greatly sur-
prised.
Predicted Cuts
Unlike his opposite number,
Sen. William F. Knowland (R-
Calif), Sen. Johnson is making no
predictions on how much Con-
gress will be able to cut in Presi-
dent Eisenhower's proposed $71,-
800,000,000 spending program.
,Sen. Knowland has called for a
three-billion-dollar slice in actual
spending.
To reach such a goal, Congress
would have to cut about five bil-
lion dollars off the more than 73
billion dollars in new money Pres-
ident Eisenhower seeks.
Some of these appropriations
are proposed for the future and
won't actually be spent in the fis-
cal year beginning July 1.
t Authority Backlog
President Eisenhower has a
backlog of spending authority
granted by previous Congresses
and the current session's control
of actual spending thus is lim-
ited.
Indications are that Sen. John-
son has in mind no such definite
figure as that picked by Sen.
Knowland.
It is not part of the Democratic
leadership's strategy to 'enforce
economy at the expense of hous-
ing, health services, farm benefits
and power projects.
Control Helped
These are issues which the
Democrats generally agree helped
them keep control of both Houses
of Congress last year while Presi-
dent Eisenhower was sweeping to
a landslide victory.
Besides the Democrats who will
go along with him, Sen. Johnson
will have some solid support from
Republicans who express shock
over the size of President Eisen-
hower's spending program.
His remarks were relayed to re-
porters by the Democratic Nation-
al Committee publicity chief, Sam
Brightman.

Roundup

BERLIN - Communist East
Germany clamped down yesterday
on its restive youth by drafting
prospective university students for
labor service on state-run farms
and factories.
At the same time the Commu-
nist newspaper Ostsee-Zeitung
complained of "rotten liberalism"
among high school students,
apathy about serving in the armed
forces and declared: "People hos-
tile to socialism should not be
tolerated in our high schools."
WASHINGTON - Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore) called on Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower's ad-
ministration yesterday to halt nu-
clear explosions immediately and
challenge Russia "to do the same."
"Such an announcement," he
said, would "give new impetus to
disarmament" negotiations and
"could well mean the tests would
be stopped, entirely by everyoine."
It would, Sen. Morse continued,
"put the Soviet Union iR the po-
sition of having to decide whether
to continue the tests alone, in the
face of world-wide religious and
scientific objections and in the
face of world-wide public opin-
ion."
SALEM, Ohio - House Speak-

India Wants
To Borrow
From U.S.
NEW DELHI (P) - India's Fi-
nance minister said yesterday his
country needs about a billion dol-
lars in foreign aid to complete its
second five-year plan.
He would like to borrow as much
of this as possible from the United
States.
India will fall short "about a
billion dollars to complete the
plan comfortably on the basis of
present imports, exports, loans
and credits," Finance Minister
Tattie T. Krishnamachari said in
an interview.
"If we cannot obtain this from
the U.S. government we will try
to borrow smaller sums through
commercial loan markets in the
United States and elsewhere."
He said India has not yet for-
mally applied for a new loan from
the United States.
Asked if he planned to raise
part of the 'money from Russia,
the Finance Minister replied:
"Russia has offered us a loan
of 100 million dollars for some
projects which are not yet under
way."
The bespectacled 57-year-old
former big business man said the
gap of a billion dollars in the
second five-year plan which be-
gan April 1, 1956, takes into ac-
count credits from various nations
for construction of plants in In-
dia.
In addition to the auction, the
special events committee of Cam-
pus Chest, headed by Brenda
Ackerman, '58, has made plans to
turn the fountain next to the Un-
ion into the Campus Chest Wish-
ing Well.
This plan, however, is subject
to the approval of the Union di-
rector who must give permission
for committee members to clean
the coins out of the pool each
night, Miss Ackerman explained.
aoliciting Granted
Residence Halls Board of Gov-
ernors has granted Campus Chest
permission to solicit in Univer-
sity residence halls, if the indi-
vidual house councils approve the
action.
Van Tyne House was the only
group to permit door-to-door soli-
citations in South Quad.
South Quad council passed a
motion to permit the chest to so-
licit one night in meal lines. No
definite date for this has been
established, acco'ding to John
Mayne, '58BAd., council president.
In East Quad, Greene and
Prescott Houses will permit door-
to-door solicitations, while Tyler
House council members will tle
contributions for the drive in their
own group.
Hayden and Hinsdale Houses
will decide whether to permit
door-to-door solicitations at their
house council meetings tomorrow,
while Cooley, Strauss, and Ander-
son Houses have refused to per-
mit door-to-door collections.

To0 Rehearse
Mock Attack
In New York
BINGHAMTON, N. Y. (AP) -
Screaming sirens today will send
1,500 persons 28 miles in a mass
evacuation to escape a mock H-
bomb attack.
This country's future planning
for survival against the H-bomb
may hinge on the success of the
test, the nation's first of such
scope.
More than 500 private automo-
biles, and buses, trucks and a
train will transport men, women
and children from a section of this
highly industrialized city to De-
posit, a village to the East.
Soviet Faces
Fear of U.S.
Bomb Raid
WASHINGTON()-The United
States probably could hit Russia
swiftly with more than two bil-
lion tons of nuclear explosive
force if the Soviets attempted an
attack on Western European na-
tions before those countries build
up their own atomic defenses.
Russia must reckon with this
probability in pursuing what the
North Atlantic Council describes
as a campaign "to insure for So-
viet forces a monopoly of nuclear
weapons on the European conti-
nent."
'Risk' Warnings
Moscow, through its propagan-
da medium, has been bombarding
Atlantic Alliance nations with
warnings about dire risks they run
if they harbor atomic weapon
sites in their territory.
Foreign ministers of the North
Atlantic Council, in sessions at
Bonn, Germ'any, Friday asserted
"it is the availability of the most
modern weapons of defense which
will discourage attempts". to
launch attack on the Alliance.
Weapons Available
These weapons are available
now in the nuclear firepower of
the United States Air Force, Navy
and Army.
Precise figures used by Ameri-
can military officials in their es-
timate of United States capability
are, of course, secret.
But these guidelines may be as-
sumed: a
Measurement of effective 'nu-
clear power is now defined in
terms of delivery of hydrogen and
fission explosive.
The stockpile and production
capability for bombs is substan-
tally greater than the means of
delivery by aircraft, missiles or
atomic-firing guns.
Aircraft Capable
At this time the Air Force pro-
bably has about 1,800 aircraft ca-
pable of handling H-bombs or A-
bombs, plus several hundred air-
craft of the Navy.
On this basis is predicated the
assumption that something over
two billion tons of nuclear force
could be delivered by USAF
planes and missiles, such as the
Matador, and by the planes and
ether weapons of the other serv-
ices.
All of the bombs and missiles
would not be thermonuclear-hy-
drogen-nor would the strikes be
aimed at obliteration of a nation.
West Foresees
German Unity
BONN, Germany (P) - Western
planners are banking on Russia's
own common sense to bring about
eventual reunification of Ger-
many and liberation of the satel-
lite empire of Eastern Europe.
This emerged yesterday in the
wake of North Atlantic Treaty
Council sessions..
The 15 Allied nations are rea-
sonably convinced the prospects
of atomic devastation are so ter-
rifying to Moscow - as well as to
the West - that the Kremlin will
refrain from trying to do things
the hard way.

Warn Party
To 'Go Slow'
With Budget
Speak at Dinner
To Raise Money
For Democrats
WASHINGTON (>) - Former
President Harry S. Truman ac-
cused President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower yesterday of "failure of
executive leadership" and playing
"political bunk" with the budget.
Adlai E. Stevenson, twice unsuc-
cessful presidential candidate, told
fellow Democrats America has
failed in foreign policy, peril is its
price, and nothing shows "more
copiously the feebleness of the
Eisenhower administration than
the budget mess."
Both Truman and Stevenson
waved a go-slow flag at Demo-
crats bent on cutting the budget,
Benefit Held
The former president and the
man who tried twice spoke at a
Democratic money raising dinner
designed to help fill up the more
than empty party till.
Some 2,20, by party count,
showed up for the $100-a-plate
affair.
Truman said he doesn't have the
facts and isn't sure President
Eisenhower's biggest-in-peacetime
budget of $71,800,000,00 is too big.
Economy Spending
Certainly, he said, the national
economy can stand spending on
that scale and "I want us to spend
enough to do the vital jobs that
have to be, done."
Stevenson came through in his
prepared address with an admoni-
tion that if the Democratic party
"now tries to out-Republican the
Republicans on the issue of bud-
get-cutting, it is going to be hard
to take us seriously again as the
party of the people."
Gov. G. Mennen Williams
sounded a similar note.
President To Appeal
"I see, by the way," Stevenson
quipped, "that next week the
president is going to appeal to the
country, but it is not clear whether
he is going to appeal for or against
his budget.
"And it is not clear who he is
going to appeal to-whether it is
to his cabinet, to his leaders in
Congress or his friends in the
Chamber of Commerce....
"But it is not the grotesque con-
tradictions of one another and of
each other that interests me about
the current Republican agony.
"Rather it is the easy, careless
indifference with which the presi-
dent and his cabinet seem to be
prepared to abandon their own
budget, and thereby the principle
of executive responsibility for the
budget."
