The Daily Chowanian Murfreesboro, North Carolina Eisenhower Will Persent His 1960 Adminstration Program January 18 The President’s State of the Union message sketched the ad ministration’s 1960 program in only broad outline. The details will be set forth in his Jan. 18 budget message which he an nounced formally today will call for balanced spending and income in the new fiscal year The President said the nation’s strik'ng power in manned bomb ers is unmatched. He added that increasing numbers of nuclear submarines, seme armed with deadly Polaris missiles, will be entering service. In this presidential and con gressional election year, with starting July 1. The reported j Republicans sure to hammer at scheduled spending figure is a peace and prosperity campaign peacetime record— about 81 | themes, Eisenhower said, billion dollars. “Tcday rur surging strength Eisenhower said that despite is apparent to everyone; 1960 the long steel dispute, marked prom'ses to be the m-'st pros- White House Chief And Congress Braves Had Peaceful Year in 1959 by a 116-day strike and then a back-to-work court order, the budget for the current fiscal year ending June 30 will show a surplus of about 200 million dollars. The message contained no real surprises in the field of legisla tion. Among other things, he called for continuance of foreign aid to bolster the free world against communism; for enact ment of the civil rights prograrn he recommended last year, par ticularly with respect to protect ing the right to vote; new farm laws—also recommended previ- system which has failed to pro tect farm income” and a school aid program with federal incen tives to encourage state and loc al classroom construction. Alluding to the threat of the free world from communism, Eisenhower said: “With both sides of this divided world in possession of unbelievably des tructive weapons, mankind ap proaches a state where mutual annihilation becomes a possibil ity.” He said recent Soviet deport- perous year of our history.” The President listed some “naggirg disorders” which he said plague the country despite the outlook for record prosper ity. Among these was the need to prevent future labor-manage- ment stalemates. Other d'sorders he mentioned included the continuing threat of inflation. “We must fight inflation,” he said, “as we would a fire that imperils our homes. Only by so doing can we prevent it from de stroying our salaries, savings, pensions and insurance, and frcm g’?awing away at the very roots of a free, healthy economy and the nation’s security.” AnctV-or of the “nagging disor ders” that must be dealt with, said Eisenhcwer, is in the field of civil rights. “In the Icng perspective cf his tory,” Eisenhower said, “the right to vcte has been or.e of the strongest pillars cf a free soc iety. Our f.'.rst duty is to protect this right against all e crcach- ment. In s :ite cf ccnstitutional guarantees, and net with sta'd WASHINGTON im — This is the Democrats’ last chance to throw off President Eisenhow er’s Indian sign. But they prob ably won’t. He’s had it on them for years. Three times in a row since 1954 the country has watched the extraordinary spectacle of a Re- puet Democratic-rim Congress, a situation made to order for brawls and bruises. Instead, the Democrats got in to few quarrels with Eisenhow- er,didn’t call names, were most ly docile and, particularly last year, moved like sheep under prodding. This was m^st remarkable last year when Democrats, as a result of the 1958 elections, out numbered Republicans in Con gress by the greatest majority since early New Deal days. They complained about Eisen hower’s lack of leadership. But they showed scant aggressive ness cf their own. Their most consistent quality throughout these years has been a healthy res"ect for the popular Eisen hower. It was almost as if he had them hypnotized or they felt it was the better part of political wisdom not to antagonize the voters who seemed highly pleas- years, bias still deprives seme persons in this country of equal preecion of the laws.” ment and pronouncements “sug- much progress of recant gest the possible ope"ing of a sc me what less-strained period in the relationships between the So viet Union and the free world.” Eisenhower cautioned free na tions against being “misled by pleasant premises,” but he said the United States intends to deal with the Soviet Union with the utmost seriousness. Eisenhower made it plain he does not expect the Soviet Union to touch off an all-out war. “It is my studied conviction that no nation will ever risk war against us unless we should be so foolish as to neglect the defense forces we now so power fully support,” he said. “It is worldwide knowledge that any nation which might be tempted to attack the United States, even though our coun try might sustain great losses, would itself promptly suffer a terrible destruction.” In sounding this warning, Eis enhower disclosed this about At las intercontinental missiles now becoming operational: “In 14 recent test launchings, at ranges of over 5,000 miles, Atlas has been striking on an average within two miles of the target. This is less than the length of a jet runway—well within the circle of total destruc tion,” he said of the Atlas mis sile. ed with Eisenhower, as they showed by electing him twice. The result last year was a mediocre congressional per- fcrmarce, with Democrats join ing with Republicans in shoving urder the rug until 1960 leg islation which c"uld have been tackled in 1959. Oil r ghts and aid to education, for example. There were seme pract'cal po litical reasons for the shoving, cf course: This is both a presi dential and congressional elec tion year and tlie closer to elec tion day popular legislation is passed the m'~re apt the voters are to remember. Still, while there is talk in the new session of Congress about big ard bold performances, the rest of the c-'untry can calmly maintain a “show me” attitude until talk becomes a reality. It will probably be Eisenhower who does the nunch'ng this year, as he did last, by banging at the Democrats to keep down spend ing. Arguments about the bud get will occupy most of the year. There will be political entan glements, for sure, since, with the exception of Adlai Steven son, the only would-be president ial candidates now in sight in both parties are concentrated in the Senate. Even if the Democrats want to kick over the traces by belit tling Eisenhower’s presidency, he’ll probably still be able to keep them in a trance by play ing up the peace theme, supple mented by his journeys i n search of it. The Democrats would be in an awkward spot if they try to play rough with a President who, al though nearing 70 and retire ment, is working more strenuo usly than at any time since en tering the White House. It seems a good guess that 1960 will be a busy year but not a rambunctious one, at least in the Democrats’ dealings with Eisenhower. Last year he piped and they danced. This year he can be expected to call the tune again. Eisenhower Says 1960 Most Prosperous Year WA'^HING'^ON AP — Presi dent Eisenhower predicted today that 1960 will be the most pros perous year in America’s his tory. And he declared the world is entering a vast new technolog ical age which can “make pov erty and human misery obso lete.” He also expressed guarded op timism about better relations with the Soviet Union. “We must strive,” he said, “to break the calamitous cycle of frustrations and crises which, if unchecked, could spiral into nuclear disas ter; the ultimate insanity.” In his annual State of the Un ion message to Congress, the President personally told a joint session of the House and Senate the nation is armed with enor mous defensive military might which must be meticulously maintained until the Soviet Un ion agrees to effectively safe guarded disarmament. Eisenhower predicted no na- Chief of Polisli Air Force Has Fled In His Mig Jet LONDON AP — Reports reach ing Polish emigre circles today Communist chief of the Polish air force, has fled from Poland to Yugoslavia in his own MIG. Jet. If true, the defection would be one of the most important from the Soviet bloc since World War II. Frey-Bielecki took command of the Polish air force after Wladyslaw Gomulka had taken over the Polish Communist lead ership in October 1956. Previous ly he had been deputy to a Soviet commander, Gen. Turkiel. University of Texas Denies Charges of Using Unfair Tactics AUSTIN, Tex. AP — A Negro on the opposing football team is just another player as far as the University of Texas is concern ed, Coach Darrell Royal says. “I can’t for the life of me see what they’re talking about,” Royal said Tuesday when asked about charges that Texas play ers hurled racial insults at Syracuse Negroes in the Cotton Bowl last Friday. In an irterview, the Texas coach outlined two reasons he thinks Syracuse is out of line in raising the race issue: 1.. T'exas turned its Dallas ho tel quarters over to Syracuse so ' tion ever will risk general war • ' ag'ainst the United States if this m’ght is maintained. He an nounced spectacular new ad vances in precision use of this country’s Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile. The President also rejected criticism that the Soviet Union’s development of superthrust rock et engines threatens America in the military missile field. The U. S. program in that field “does not suffer from our present lack of very large rocket engines, which are so necessary in dis-; tant space exploration,” Eisen^ hower said. He added this country is press ing forward with development o^ engines with tremendous thrust, and said spending for space proj ects will be practically doubled- to about a billion dollars a year. In his lengthy address, carried nationwide on television and ra dio, the President spoke of rei cord prosperity in 1960 and also called for vigorous new efforts to check inflation. H e expressed gratification over settlement earlier this week of the marathon steel dis pute, and said both management Negroes on the New York team cou'd be quartered with the rest of the squad. 2. Rene Bamirez, a Texas player of Latin American de scent, was the target of racial barbs frcm Syracuse players. “I guess you could say that, all right,” Bamirez said when asked about Royal’s statement. He declined to elaborate. Royal said Bamirez told him Monday “he had some pretty uncomplimentary things said to him during the game.” Asked about Syracuse claims that Texas engaged in unfair tactics. Royal said, “I don’t know what they had in mind. I’ve seen movies of the game and of course I was at the game and I don’t see that either team was dirty.” On the play that threatened to touch off a full-scale brawl be tween Texas and Syracuse late in the first half. Royal noted “Syracuse drew three penalties on one play.” “They were the ones who were penalized on the play, not us,” he said. ard labor must make every ef fort to increase productivity and thus avoid price increases. To the rewly convened Co“ gress sprinkled with presidentia' hopefuls, Eisenhower—noting he is beginning his last year i; office—appealed for harmony in relations between the White House and the Dem" crat'c-con- trolled Congress. “Every minute spent in irrele vant interbranch wrangling is precious time taken from the intelligent initiation and adop tion of coherent policies for our national survival and policies,” he said. The President, who has had to work with a Democratic-run Congress the last five of his seven years in office, remarked that nevertheless “we have wea thered the storms.” And he pledged in his final year to “de vote my full erergies to the tasks at hand, whether these involve travel for the promoting of world understanding, negotiations to reduce international discord, or constant discussions and com munications with the Congress and the American people on is sues both domestic and foreign.” Congress Ask for Special Forces By HERB ALTSCHULL BONN, Germany AP — IHie Wor'd Jewish Congress today de manded a special police force to deal with anti-Semitism and resur gent Nazism in West Germany. The Congress also called iar the banning of all organizations even suspected of Nazi tendencies and the rooting out of ex-Nazis from all sec tions of German public life. These were among the written proposals submitted to Forei gn Min ister Henrich von Brentano by Alex ander Easterman, political directon of the World Jewish Congress in an hour-long interview. Easterman afterward told a news conference he received a very sym pathetic rec'eption from Von Bren tano and gained the impression the Bonn government would act on some of Uie Congress proposals. 'Easterman said Von Brentano a- greed with h^m it wou'd be “the greatest f'lly” to treat the pr^- ent wor’dwide wave of anti-Semit ic incidents as me'^Iy the work of a few i-responsible persons. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s regime, dominated by his Christian, Democrats. launched a double-bar reled campaign Wednesday night to stamp out anti-Semitic demon strations by swift court action a- gainst hate-mongers and by stiffer sentences. Residents Complain SAN FRANCISCO AP — Hare’s a new jet-ag’ hazard. Residents at nearby Millbrae complained WVdne"day that their hom?s and laundry are being sprayed by smoke from airplanes taking off from Francisco International Air port. Some Millbrae residents said their homes are only 300 yards from takeoff runways and that runways and that jet smoke is resulting in some very dirty laundry. Maria Bueno's Named Female "Athlete Of the Year” in the AP Press Poll By Press Poll ADLAIDE, Australia.Ml—Mar-S ia Bueno’s usually solemn face broke into a broad grin today when she was told that she had been named female “athlete of of the year” in the year end As sociated Press poll. “That’s wonderful but I don’t deserve it — it’s too big,” said the 19-year-old Brazilian girl who last year won both the Winbledon and U.S. women’s ten nis championships. Miss Bueno, a one-time school teacher from Sao Paulo, re ceived 126 votes from the 288 sports writers and broadcasters who participated in the poll. Maria is playing here in the South Australia Tennis Champ ionships. ' “I have asnired for many things in my life but I never ex pected to rate such a distinc tion,” she said. “There must be plenty of other nrominent wo men in sports who could have been selected.” The only other woman to get more than 100 votes was Betsy Rawls of Spartanburg, S.C., leading money winner of wo men’s professional golf, who drew 102 for second place. Chris Von Saltza of Saratoga, Fla., winner of five gold swim ming medals in the Pan Ameri can Games, was third with 43 votes. Sprinter Lucinda Williams of Tennessee State was fourth, followed by Ilsa Konrads, Aus tralia’s world record - breaker in swimming.
