At the same time, each person’s share of the all-time record revenue to be collected will amount to $427 each. The extra $11 each makes up the expected surplus for debt reduction. These figures represent increases in per capita spending and tax collections for the third straight year. The new average of $416 for spending will be $10 higher than the $406 for the revised estimates for the current fiscal period. It previously had moved up from $394 per person in fiscal 1955 to $399 in fiscal 1956. That means an over-all jump of $22 per person in spending over the period 1955-1958. Radford Supports Ike Doctrine WASHINGTON (AP) - Adm. Arthur W. Radford says Congress’ passage of the Eisenhower Middle East resolution would “practically eliminate the chances of war” in that area. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff testified Jan. 8 at a closed session of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. His testimony, made public today after censoring for security, made these other points: 1. The United States has a “definite” military superiority over Russia, probably even some-what greater than that of a year ago. HAS THE CAPABILITIES 2. The United States now has the capability of moving men and material effectively and quickly into the Middle East in cast it has to help put out a “brushfire” war. 3. He doubts small wars would break out at the same time in different parts of the world. The Eisenhower resolution does not anticipate that America would have to fight a limited war in the Middle East, but it would make such a war less likely. The released testimony also disclosed administration figures showing that, as of a week ago Wednesday, 417 million dollars is still unused out of already voted foreign aid funds.

Austria Reaches ‘Its Very Limit’ In Refugee Aid VIENNA (UP) — Austria said today it has reached "its very limits" in coping with the problems of Hungarian refugees, and refuses to accept any returnees who have moved to other countries. Minister of Interior Oscar Helmer told the Council of Ministers yesterday that the country had spent $7,150,000 for Hungarian refugees during November, and that expenditures for December — still undetermined — were much higher. He said Austria spent 2 million dollars for refugee accommodations alone. Kidnaped Jockey CHARLOTTE, N. C. (UP)— Police are searching for an 85- pound, four-foot jockey, kidnaped in his silks from in front of a clothing store today. The cast-iron hitching post statue has been the store's trade mark for eight years. 76 Million Earmarked For Quick Drought Aid WICHITA, Kan. (UP)—President Eisenhower announced plans to earmark 76 million dollars for immediate aid to drought-crippled farmers and ranchers last night in completing a 4,500-mile tour that took him into six water-short states. In addition to immediate assistance, the President listed a series of long-range plans designed to help overcome the worst drought disaster in this country in modern history. The President's tour, which began Sunday night, visited six states in the southern Great Plains where he talked to numerous farmers and ranchers on their individual problems brought on by the seven-year drought. NEED LOCAL HELP Mr. Eisenhower emphasized he thinks state and local governments should help farmers and ranchers more with their problems. "I am convinced that state and local governments should assume greater responsibility in helping solve the recurring problems of agriculture, including distress. "I think this would aid materially in a more effective administration of these programs and in better adapting them to local conditions and to natural requirements," he said. Israel Pullout Necessary to Peace: Dag UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. . (AP) — Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold declared today the - withdrawal of Israeli forces behind the 1949 armistice line is an essential step for restoring peace with Egypt. s In a progress report to the 80- nation General Assembly, Hammarskjold said he had held extensive but unsuccessful discussions with representatives of Israel "aiming at full compliance with j the withdrawal requirements" laid down by the Assembly last November. Israel, he said, still was silent concerning compliance with the resolutions by withdrawal of Is- » raeli forces from the Gaza Strip." ONE OF TWO AREAS This is one of the two areas which Israel said yesterday would still remain in its hands when a new phase of the withdrawal j from Egypt is completed Jan. 22. l The other area is Sharm el Sheikh on the gulf of Aqaba. Hammarskjold said Israel had r indicated the evacuation of the i Aqaba Strip is anticipated, al though it had suggested further 1 talks with him on this problem. He indicated this involved the question of guaranteeing free shipping through the gulf of Aqaba, but he said he did not consider this question fell within the mandate given him by the Assembly. Asian-African nations framed a resolution condemning Israel's slow pullback and calling in effect for economic sanctions against her until she withdraws behind the 1949 armistice lines. Meanwhile in Cairo President Nasser's government ordered all foreign banks, insurance companies and trading firms in Egypt converted to Egyptian management and ownership. British and French concerns were "Egyptianized" as of today, being classed as enemy property. Other foreign firms were given five years to convert themselves to Egyptian stock companies. Storm Listed As Dangerous, Hits Northeast By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A heavy snowstorm described as "dangerous and intensifying" blanketed much of the Northeast today while subzero cold kept its grip on the Midwest. The storm, moving northeasterly near the mid-Atlantic coast, dumped from three to eight inches of snow in an area which suffered its coldest weather of the season yesterday. The cold moderated somewhat. A foot or more of snow was expected in New England before the storm abates. SLOWS TRAINS The snowfall slowed trains, buses and autos in the New York City area and caused some delays in airline schedules. The temperatures in New York City, which dropped to 3.1 degrees above zero yesterday, climbed to 20.3 at 3:15 a.m. today but then started descending again. Massena, N. Y. — reported 20 degrees below — compared with 44 degrees below yesterday. The nation's ice box was West Yellowstone, Mont., where the mercury tobogganed to 41 degrees below zero.

Black-Ink Document Lists Three-fifths for Defense WASHINGTON (UP) — President Eisenhower today ' proposed a 71.8 billion dollar spending budget—the biggest ever in peacetime America. He said three-fifths of this huge amount is necessary to provide U. S. and allied strength "to deter and, if need be, to defeat aggression" in this still uncertain world. He ruled out any general tax cut this year despite, a small projected surplus. He asked for higher postal rates. The President's Secretary of Treasury, George M. Humphrey, emphatically called for reduced spending and tax cuts in future budgets. If this isn't done, "we'll have a depression that will curl your hair," said Humphrey without committing himself to any definite time element. He held out cautious hope that tax cuts could be started next year. Humphrey made it plain to reporters that the record spending proposed in the new budget for 1958 was distasteful to him, although he went along with it. The official budget itself was presented to Congress with a message from the President, which was read by clerks. STUDDED WITH RECORDS The Eisenhower budget was studded with records for spending exceeding those of peacetime Roosevelt and Truman years—for U.S. armed forces (38 billion dollars), for farm programs, for atomics and others.. His new budget for fiscal 1958 was in the black for the third straight year. The surplus of revenues over spending was estimated at 1.8 billion dollars for tM new year starting next July 1. But to help check inflation, Mr. Eisenhower said, the surplus must be used further to reduce the federal debt which now stands at 275.7 billion dollars. "The prospective budget surplus in the fiscal year 1958 will reenforce the restraining effect of present credit and monetary policies," he said, in a new warning of inflation dangers. Mr. Eisenhower asked an increase of 654 million dollars in postal rates. He asked Congress to raise postal rates by 654 million dollars a year. He gave no details but the Post Office was reported to be studying a proposal to raise first class letter rates from three cents to five and carry them by air over long hauls at no extra charge. The President asked Congress last year for a smaller rate increase, including a boost in first class rates to four cents. It passed the House but died in the Senate. The President's chances were considered better for getting it this year. Of the total spending, about six-tenths—45.3 billion dollars— would be for national security, including military and economic aid to U.S. allies. U.S. armed forces would get 38 billion dollars. These programs, he said, will "provide a wise and reasonable degree of protection for the nation." In addition to the big defense budget, ,Mr. Eisenhower called for the highest spending ever on atomic energy and farm programs. Atomic energy funds were hiked by 400 million dollars to Continued on page 2 Budget Stirs Misgivings Among GOP WASHINGTON (UP)— President Eisenhower's record budget stirred misgivings among some Republicans today and prompted a Democratic charge that Republican economy is a myth. "Republicans are giving Democrats a real lesson in the art of spending while at the same time leading the country to believe that they are the guardians of the purse strings," Rep. Thomas G. Abernethy (D-Miss) said. "The President's budget is cold evidence that Eisenhower economy is a myth." Abernethy said the President in four years already has spent 39 billion dollars more than was spenfe by former President Truman in the four years of the previous administration. FIGHTING A WAR "And Truman was fighting a war," Abernethy added. Chairman Harry E. Byrd (W-Va) of the Senate Banking Committee said the 1958 budget will result in increased inflation. "In times of peace and prosperity, a sound budget requires elimination of nonessential expenditures to the extent that debt and taxes can be reduced," Byrd said. Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH), ranking Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee, praised Mr. Eisenhower's "emphasis on fiscal integrity" and the fact that the budget is balanced for the third year in a row. But he said he "will make every effort to pare it down in every place possible." Rep. Usher L. Burdick (R-ND) said of the proposed 71.8 billion dollars spending total: "That's more than the country can stand." SEES DEPRESSION Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Iowa) concurred in a forecast by Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey that failure to cut spending and taxes will insure a depression. But he asked: "Why wait until next year? What's wrong with doing it this year?" Chairman J. William Ful- bright (D-Ark) of the Senate Banking Committee said the budget shows up the administration as "hypocrites" for talking about reducing expenses and 1 then proposing a record spend- , ing program for expenses it knew 'would be necessary. 40,000 FACE EXPULSION Jewish Exodus From Egypt Rivals Tragic Moses Flight LONDON (UP) — Forty thousand stateless Jews face expulsion or evacuation from Egypt in a tragic flight rivaling the exodus led by Moses 3,400 years ago. Nearly 1,000 refugees already have arrived in Naples, Italy, with stories of persecution, mistreatment and loss of their possessions—the aftermath of the Israeli invasion of Egypt. Egyptian authorities deny that all the Jews must leave. They dispute the stories of persecution. But long queues have formed outside airline and ship booking offices, the exit visa department of the Interior Ministry opened "three extra offices and another shipload of refugees is due in Naples next "Sunday (Jan. 20). More are expected to follow. PROMISED LAND Like their ancient forefathers who were led out of Egypt by Moses in the days of the phar- aohs, their objective is still the "promised land." As one refugee said in Naples, "For us now only Israel remains as the final place of settling." The entire Jewish community in Egypt faces possible expulsion. Although organizations are prepared to help Egyptian Jews resettle in almost any part of the world, most have their eyes turned toward the Jewish state, already crowded and living in a state of tension surrounded by hostile Arabs. Poland Lines Up With Red China WARSAW (AP) — Poland's new regime lined up with Communist China today in a joint statement criticizing U. S. foreign policy and supporting the Kadar government in Hungary. The declaration signed after five days of talks between Communist Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai and the Polish leadership headed by .
