Defense funds frozen stall Maine gains feared by Muskie
Senator Edmund Muskie cites defense orders and weapons funding as a boost for Maine if Congress approved the already appropriated defense procurement funds. Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson says the administration delays about one billion dollars, while DoD notes a temporary freeze with release possible in fiscal 1961 after current reviews. Some lawmakers seek an extra 621 million for 1961, but the secretary of defense has not committed to using those funds.

San Jose meeting may steer Cuba crisis
Washington cautions that no full solutions will come from the San Jose conference of 21 American republics foreign ministers. No sanctions are expected, and Cuba is unlikely to withdraw from the OAS. Resolutions will urge Caribbean stability while avoiding explicit denunciation of Castro. The US aims to limit Soviet backing and isolate Cuba, but Latin leaders see the move as only a first step toward broader action.

Ike's Pension Dilemma After Retirement Jan. 20
President Eisenhower faces a pension choice after leaving office on January 20. He can take either his Army retirement or the presidential pension, with tax implications and loyal ties favoring the Army option. His post retirement income would total about $40,000 with the ex president’s pension, but after tax effects the Army pension may yield a higher net.
