Eisenhower education aid praised but deemed modest
Democratic leaders say the Eisenhower plan to boost scientific education is good yet limited. The proposal calls for a one billion dollar federal outlay over four years with state matching, funding 10 000 scholarships yearly and federal matches for math and science teaching, lab equipment, and teacher pay. Senator Fulbright cites it as modest but supports the effort and urges broader scope.

Former Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson says President Eisenhower trimmed military spending in anticipation of a budget cutting mood in Congress. He told Robert J. Donovan that Congress reduced the proposed 384 billion defense budget to 36 billion for the current year and that White House officials did not heed top Pentagon recommendations. Wilson also discussed the Vanguard satellite program split and his view on interservice competition.
