WASHINGTON (IP) Pre

economy-minded 83rd Con
i gress an $85,000,000,000 bud
! get for government opera
tions in fiscal 1954, accord
ing to preliminary unofficial
estimates.
| This is almost as much as he
| requested last January for fiscal
1953, and some $6,000,000,000 more
j than the 82nd Congress finally
voted. It is also considerably high
er than the $70,000,000,000 ceiling
which Republican Congressional
leaders have said they hope to im
pose on federal spending next
year.
Mr. Truman will present the new
budget, covering federal expendi
tures and revenue from July 1.
1953, to June 30, 1954, just a few
days before he yields his post to
President-elect Dwight D. Eisen
hower.
TRIMMING SCHEDULED
Eisenhower, who is committed
to trim the budget to $60,000,000,000
by 1956, will be free to change
the Truman budget as he sees fit,
by sending further budget recom
mendations to Capitol Hill.
Budget experts say most of the
money in the new budget, as now
anticipated, will be earmarked for
projects already approved by Con
gress, particularly the defense ef
fort. To cut expenditures to this
year’s level - $79,000,000,000
Eisenhower or Congress must cut
back parts of the program already
established, the experts say.
The present administration’s
plans do not envision a major cut

was to Mrs. Emily Smith McQueen,
who also survives. He ia also sur

I Mr. Carson is being blamed strictly
on politics.
I UNABLE TO GIVE
It is understood that one or two
party leaders became indignant
when Mr. Carson advised them that
he was financially unable to con
tribute to the Democratic party
fund during the recent campaign.
On election night as returns were
being tabulated, a prominent Lill
ington Democratip leader was
loudly condemning Mr. Carson for
failing to contribute to the fund.
According to reliable informa
tion, a party worker had demanded
that Carson shell out one-third of
a month’s salary, which would
have been $l3O.
Mr. Carson, who is praised by
State officials and others as by far
one f f the outstanding county au
ditors in the State, has had much
illness In his family during the
year and is also struggling to pay
for a home which he built with his
own hands.
It is known that Mr. Carson has
contributed liberally to the party
in the past and In the previous

though he had to borrow the money
to do so. He explained his per

about the Korean trip for security

ces.
WANTS CASUALTIES CUT
During the last weeks of his
I campaign. Eisenhower repeatedly
expressed his long-standing theory
i that American casualties in Ko
rea could be materially reduced by
putting more South Koreans into
the front lines.
The GOP winner did not pro
ject his Korean trip as an "easy
answer" to the dragging war but
said he wanted tc examine the sit
uation for himself in the hope
of speeding peace, and short of
that, “reducing the American com
bat report.”
“One look is better than a mil

the Far East Monday night. Eis
