House Unit Tries To Whittle Down President's Budget
The House Appropriations Committee aims to cut President Eisenhower's request for 71.8 billion next fiscal year after reading his budget message. Subcommittees plan to trim Interior, Post Office and Treasury requests totaling 73.3 billion and debate across party lines about inflationary spending. Treasury Secretary Humphrey warns of a low mood and the risk of deficit fighting measures, while urging swift cuts. The budget remains a peace-year record high and could yield a small end-year surplus to reduce the national debt ahead of the 1958 election.
