House Committee
* Begins Work For
Mamed Budget
V WASHINGTON (IP) The
House Appropriations Com
mittee began the Republican
budget-balancing drive .to
day with a whopping ffl per
cent cut -in the first money
*'■ bill for the next fiscal year.
It voted to (top ah new public
housing construction and' aent to
the , floor a bill appropriating
1481,020,403 for 24 independent fed
end agencies in the IBM fiscal
year starting July l.
That was $721,423,697, or 61 per
cent, below the estimates in the
original budget submitted by then
President Truman.
Although no exact comparison
iW was available, it was also a cut of
more than $400,000,000 from the
revised Eiaenjiower administration
budget. ,
However, $395,744,000 of the cut
In the new administration budget
appeared to be a bookkeeping
transaction. The committee accom
plished it by refusing to earmark
Treasury funds for the govern
ment’s annual contribution to the
federal employes' retirement fund
and for the “interest” earned by
f the fund. \
CUTS PAYMENT
The committee said it was not
cutting down on payments to bene
ficiaries of the fund which has
been gradually building up each
year. Bo the action will not reduce
federal apendln gin fiscal. 1954 or
In the near future.
This is significant because spend
ing determines whether the budget
is balanced. Republican congres
slonal leaders have said there will
& toe not tax cut until a balanced
budget is In sight. '
In perhaps its most controversial
action, Um committee flatly reject
ed the administration's request
that the . present annual level of
new public housing starts
be maintained in fiscal 1964. It

President Calls For Action
UN Agrees To
Reopen Peace
Talks With Reds
PANMUNJOM, Korea (IP)—
The United Nations agreed
today to reopen end-the-war
talks wit)) the Communists
and suggested laying the
groundwork Saturday for a
full scale Conference.
But toe U. ft. stood firm on its
stand that no prisoner should be
forced to return to Communist con
trol against his will. About 45,000
captured Reds have said they will
resist forced repatriation.
Lt. Gen. , William K. Harrison,
chief U. N. negotiator, sent a letter
to his North Korean counterpart,
Gen. Nam Q, offering a three -
point plan oh exchanging prison
ers, the issue which has bottle
necked a cease-fire agreement.
Harrison suggested, as Point
One, recognition of Switaarland as
a neutral nation where prisoners
who do not want to go home can
be domiciled.
He also proposed that such pris
oners be released to custody in
Korea of toe neutral nation and
that the Swiss arrange for “peace
able dispostlon” of prisoners re
luctant to be repatriated Rfter 60
days in neutral custody. £

A cabinet meeting without the: i
President is an unusual event in
White House history.
Press Secretary James C. Hag
erty said the meeting was arranged
primarily . for a conference on best '
methods to follow up on the broad- :!
peace and disarmament objectives
outlined yesterday, in Mr, Eisen- U*
hower’s address to the American : ;
Society of Newspaper Editors. <3
The White House confirmed ear
lier that the United States has' - ':
embarked on an intensive program
to sell Mr Eisenhower’s formula
to both the free and CommtHiiafejj
parts of the world.
A spokesman said cabinet oftj- %
cials and Republican congressional
leaders will make a series of state
ments during the next few weeks
to “put the full force of the freayj
world” behind the objectives the
President outlined.
REACTION FAVORABLE
Worldwide reaction to the
dent s address was favorable, en
thusiastically so in many
Russian newspapers published
details prominently and with tyt-’ij
precedented speed.
