Ike Pledges No Politics On Security TRENTON, N. J., (UP)— President Eisenhower said today “we will not play poli tics with our people and blithly promise them a tax cut at the expense of our national security.” Eisenhower addressed, by tele phone from the capital, a regional Republican conference here. It was the sixth and final such con erence prior to a meeting of GOP eaders from all states In Wash ington June 7. “Some allege that this adminis xation is against a tax cut,” Eis enhower said. “We showed our relief on this point in 1954 when we had the largest cut in history— 17,400,000,000.” “Careful planning of our budget, :oupled with continued healthy ec-„ momic growth, will....result in our ncome materially exceeding our expenses," he said. “Then it will re possible to justify another tax put for every taxpayer.” “But I must make this clear,” Eisenhower said. “We will not play politics with our people and blithly promise them a tax cut at the expense of our national secur ity. We will not return to deficit financing. We will not stop pay ments on the national debt.” The President again called on Congress to permit him to veto specific items in appropriation bills instead of the entire measure “This power—now held by the governors of many states—would let the President cut out of appro priation bills some expensive and unnecessary projects,” he said. ‘If the item veto existed right, iow, I could easily do some seri-1 >us expense cutting.” ROTARY GOVERNORS LUCERNE, Switzerland (TO — '’our North Carolinians have been elected governors of Rotary In ernational districts at the 48th innual convention here.
