Ike Proposes To
Lop $8V2 Billion
From Old Budget
WASHINGTON, Ufi — President
Eisenhower reportedly laid before
legislative leaders yesterday pre
liminary proposals to whack ap
proximately $8 Vi billion off for
mer President Truman’s budget.
Lawmakers who sat in on the
discussion at the White House
said the tentative cuts would in
clude a reduction of about $5 bil
lion in Truman’s proposals for
military spending.
Reductions of $1,800,000,000 in
foreign aid, $1,200,000,000 in dom
estic spending and $250,000,000 in
atomic projects also were dis
cussed.
Eisenhower was said to have
emphasized that the approximate
$8Vfe billion cuts under the Tru
man $78,600,000,000 spending pro
gram for the year beginning July
1 were only preliminary and
would be removed later. Truman
figured defense spending at $46,
300,000,000.
Lawmakers who attended the
conference said it was their im
pression that the proposed $8V£
billion cuts would make it possi
ble to balance the so-called “cash”
budget in the next fiscal year.
This budget is based on what
the treasury actually pays out and
takes in, including social security
and similar receipts which go into
trust funds.
The proposed cut, however,
would leave the regular budget
out of balance more than $lVfe
billion dollars, since tax revenues
for the fiscal year were estimated
at $68,665,000,000 by Truman.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
—Seven bomb explosions shook
Buenos Aires this May Day morn
ing. The seventh occurred while
President Juan Peron was addres
sing the opening of the 87th Ar

All the bombs were set off in
small public parks, where damage
was unlikely. The first blast oc

the others came at intervals after
that.
Peron made no reference to the
explosions but began his speech
by hotly assailing his enemies,

definite idea he meant the United
States. ,

Speed-Up Effort
By State To Oust
Old Acheson Team
WASHINGTON,(A>)— Sen. Mundt
(R-SD) disclosed Thursday what
he called a “highly accelerated”
State Department effort to elimi
nate “members of the old Acheson
team” from top policy positions.
Mundt said the Senate subcom
mittee was informed at a secret
meeting this week that Secretary
Dulles has “replaced over 50 per
sons in key positions for policy
reasons alone.” A few involved
shifts from policy to non-policy
posts, he said, but resignations ac
counted for the rest.
In addition, Mundt said, the ad
ministration has removed or ob
tained the resignation of 49 others
“for reasons of suitability, secur
ity or homosexuality” since the
GOP took over Jan. 20. Another
112 applicants have been denied
jobs since then on the same
grounds, he added.
Mundt, an outspoken critic of
former Secretary of State Dean
Acheson, complained recently of
a slow turnover of top State De
partment jobs to men more “in
sympathy with the new adminis
tration.”

A
Alaska Fishing Operator
Predicts Trouble With
Japanese Over Crabs
COLD BAY, Alaska, <*> — An
Alaska fishing operator has re
ported the arrival of a Japanese
crab fishing fleet in the outer
waters of Bristol Bay.
The Japanese fleet’s net gear is
reported out* in a 10-mile square
area around the mother ship.
J. H. Wakefield of Wakefield’s
Deep Sea Trawlers, Inc., predict
ed recently there would be “trou
ble” between Japanese and Al
aska crab fishermen in the big
bay west of Alaska this season.
The Wakefield firm also is en
gaged in fishing for the giant king
crabs, which have a leg span of
several feet.
He said the Japanese fishermen
are not restricted in their catches
while American fishermen can
take only male crabs of adult size.
The Alaska legislature passed a
memorial at its recent session
petitioning the United States gov
ernment to take steps toward safe
guarding the fishing in the bay,
which Alaskan fishermen long
have considered Alaskan waters.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
authorities hold, however, that
they are international waters out
side the three-mile limit.
