Frank Carlson R. Kans. said today Dwight D. Eisenhower personally conceived the idea of visiting the Korean battlefront about a month he made it a campaign promise. Carlson, a close friend and ad viser of the president-elect, told a reporter that Eisenhower has been “wronged” by Democratic charges that the forthcoming Korean trip originated in the brain of a “ghost writer on loan from a slick maga zine."

Five times featured in Ripley’s “Believe-It-Or-Not” and publicized all across the nation, the “Mighty Atom” can attach a rope in his hair and pull a 28-ton bus. There’s no auestion about it.

C„ FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 21. 1952 Brownell, Humphrey Named To Cabinet; Stassen Given Post Truman Budget Is Slashed By Five Billions WASHINGTON llpi Pre sident Truman's budget for the next fiscal year has been pared within the last two weeks to a figure in the neighborhood of $80,000,- 300,000, reliable sources dis posed today. That is about $5 000.000,000 less than the fiscal 1954 budget was expected to total on the basis of preliminary estimates earlier this month. Informants said the lower figure reflects a slowdown in defense spending, which constitutes by far the biggest item in the budget. Mr. Truman will submit the bud get to Congress next January, just a few days before he surrenders his office to President-elect Eisen hower. Eisenhower will be free to revise the spending requests as he sees fit by sending supplemental messages to Congress. Earlier estimates that the Tru man budget would run close to $85,000,000,000 prompted Republi can leaders of Congress to predict that any such request would be slashed by up to $15,000,000,000. CLAIMS IT CAN’T BE CUT Mr. Truman replied Thursday by telling his news conference that he will jfend a tight, honest budget to the .lawmakers as, he said, he al ways has done. He predicted that the GOP—led 83rd Congress will find itself unable to make any ma jor cuts in his spending proposals. Informants who quoted the $85,- 000.000,000 figure carlies this month emphasized at that time that the budget well be substantially re vised. The same precaution applies to the new $80,000,000,000 total. Still to come is the “supreme council” meeting, where the Presi dent. his council of economic ad visers and top mobilization and defense officials get together to nail down the facts and figures.
