Incidents on the national scene
and does not necessarily railed
MAM policy or position.
Washington The new Di
rector of the Federal Budget
bureau—David E. Bell, Harvard
economist —is in a position to
influence greatly the spending
policies of the Kennedy Admini
stration—and thus the fiscal
soundness of the nation.
It is a difficult job—in a dif
ficult time —that he is under
taking. There is no doubt that
spending pressures are going to
be terrific.
But members of the Con
gressional economy bloc are eag
er to cooperate in every way
possible in holding Government
spending down to essentials.
They are urging a grass-roots
campaign against wasteful spend
ing.
At the present time the Eisen
hower Administration’s forecast
for this fiscal year tending next
June 30) is: Receipts $81.5 bil
lion, expenditures $80.4 billion,
suiplus sl.l billion.
The Eisenhower Administra
tion now is preparing a budget
for the next fiscal year to be
presented to Congress before
President-elect Kennedy is inau
gurated on January 20. Ind.ca
tions are that President Eisen
hower is determined to present
to Congress a balanced budget.
But Mr. Kennedy will occupy
the White House while Congress
acts on the budget. He is ex
pected to submit his own ideal
—and during the political cam-.
• paign he proposed substantial |
increases in Government spend- 1

mg.
He is on record, however, as '
believing in a balanced budge;..!
The only times when an ui
balanced budget is warranted, h •
says, is during “a serious i -
cession” or “a national emer
gency where there should i ■
large expenditures for national
defense.”
If adhered to, this places up.ui

the new budget director the task
Qf aligning Mr. Kennedy’s cam
paign promises with the reality
ot available revenue.
Indications are that he will
be able to use to advantage all;
the fiscal skill and knowledge
he acquired while serving in
the Budget Bureau during the
1940’s—and in other fields of
activity since that time.
Mr. Bell, 41 years old, was
at one time an administrative
assistant to President Truman,
research director for Adlai Stev-,
enson in the 1952 Presidential
campaign, and an employee in
ihe Budget Bureau in the 1940’5.
As Budget Director he will
have cabinet status.
sxpamled International Trade
! Another appointment of great
importance to industry was that
of Gov. Luther H. Hodges of
North Carolina as Secretary of
Commerce. He is 62.
In announcing the appointment
'of Governor Hodges, President
' elect Kennedy made it clear that
-he regards expansion of the na
-1 tion’s international trade as per- j
haps the most vital responsibility
of his Secretary of Commerce.
Mr. Kennedy referred to the
Commerce Department as a
"most vital agency” and then
added:
“I would say perhaps one of
its most vital, if not its most
vital responsibility in the com
ing yeais will be in the inter- |
national field, maintaining our (
position in international trade, j
developing and encouraging newj
markets, providing some degree;
of assurance and protection for.

ing with the problems which are!

trade structures, as well as trade!
with the under-developed areas!
of the world,”
Explaining his views. Governor
Ilodges said:
"I am tor expansion of trade.
I think that is the way the
world gets along. I think that is!
the best remedy for anything.
“It is far more important tham
aid and all the other talk youj
can get. You have real prob
lems in expanding trade, be-j
cause you have the question of i
the balance of payments and all!
of that. It has been turning j

I am very much in favor of ex
panding traae botn ways.”
I Governor Hodges had just re
turned from a Lip to Argentina
and Brazil with 27 other Gov-
I ernors, he said those nations
! were interested primarily in
trade.
The North Carolinian has had
a background of business experi
ence. He rose from office boy
! in the textile industry to vice
; president of Marshall Field and
( Company, in charge of mills and
sales.
In 1950 he was elected Lieu
tenant Governor of North Caro
lina. He has been Governor
since 1954. During the recent
political campaign he headed a
committee of businessmen for
Senator Kennedy.
