Byrnes Opposes
New Federal Aid
SEATTLE, Wash. (IP) Gov.
James F. Byrnes of South Carolina
told the 45th annual conference of
governors today the time has come
“to oppose any new federal aid
projects” to states.
directed a federal
state relations discussion at the
conference, added “we should go
further and consider what exist
ing grants can be abandoned.”
The South Carolina governor,
who served on a committee which
conferred with President Eisen
hower concerning federal - state
problems, said he is encoiiraged by
a bill establishing a commission on
inter-governmental relations which
Congress has passed on recom.
mendation of the President.
HURTS LIBERTY
“Too much dependence on dis
tant government will siphon off
liberty a s surely today as in the
age of the drafting of our Con
stitution,” Byrnes warned m
speaking of the “concentration of
greater power in the federal gov
ernment.”
The governor said federal g.-ant
to states have not been without
benefit “but the conditions that
justified federal aid and fe feral
control of highway construction
no longer exist.”
BULLETINS
WASHINGTON (IP The economy-pledged 83rd Con
gress pared nearly $13,000,000,000 from the appropria
tions requests submitted by former President Truman
before he left office last January. In doing so, it went
beyond President Eisenhower’s recommendations for bud
get-cutting. The new funds voted by Congress for the cur- j
rent 1954 fiscal year come to about $3,500,000,000 less)
than Mr. Eisenhower proposed in his revised budget.
WASHINGTON (Ift President Eisenhower joined the
congregation of the National Presbyterian Church yester
day in prayer that the Korean, armistice may lead to an
enduring peace. Accompanied by Mrs. EJae&hower, the
President heard th- Rev. Louis H .Evans say 'Thank God
for the armistice” but then ask: “How long will It last?”
