Eisenhower Pushes Spending Plan Across Nation
The president promotes his budget and legislative program in two TV speeches and regional phone briefings. White House aides say he will keep pressing Congress until adjournment. Postmaster General Summerfield cited a need for 140 million dollars more to prevent drastic mail cuts starting July 1, and Eisenhower signed a 3.192 billion dollar Post Office appropriation. Secretary Weeks denounces budget butchers as endangering prosperity, with others like Dulles and Quarles also opposing broad cuts. The first American coin to bear an eagle, the Massachusetts penny, dates to 1776.
