and TV speeches.
j The White House asked the ma
jor networks for time early next
I week, preferably Tuesday night,
for what was described as a talk
“to the American people on the
cost of their government.”
Government's Cost Estimated
ITn de r the administration’s
plans, the cost of the government
in the fiscal year beginning July
1 would be more than 71 billion
dollars. But members of Congress
are talking of reductions in terms
of from three to six billion dol
lars.
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said that in addi
tion to next week’s speech the
President would like to address
I the nation sometime during the
Iweek of May 19 on the subject.
“Why Mutual Aid is so Essential
in Winning the Peace.” The net
works also have been asked to
set this up.
Eisenhower’s foreign aid cut,
made amid congressional talk of
far deeper slashes, reduced' the
proposed mutual security pro
gram to $3,880,000,000 for the fis
cal 1958. The President voiced a
conviction that it would risky to
cut any deeper.
The talks Eisenhower will make
in support of his spending poli
cies are scheduled to last 30 min
utes each. Both will be made from
the White House.
Asked whether the White House
expects to get free radio-TV time,
Hagerty said he simply had told:

like to make two major speeches.
Shortly after the White House
asked for air time, the ABC-TV
and radio network said in New

aims—but it was clear their talks
in Bonn had produced no full
meeting of minds on how to build
Western defenses.
Macmillan, winding up a three
day visit, told newsmen his con
ference with Adenauer had not
led him to reconsider Britain’s
decision to cut back her troop
strength in West Germany.
*Reappnnsar Sought
Informed sources said Adenauer
had sought to induce Macmillan
to “reappraise” his plan to shift
the British defense program to
heavy concentration on atomic
deterrents.
Britain already has started
withdrawing 30,000 troops from
West Germany, along with nearly
half her tactical air force. She
plans to give an atomic punch to
the remaining troops.
Convinces Adenauer
Macmillan reported that he had
succeeded in convincing Adenauer
the British troop withdrawal plan
would leave “no gaps” in the
Western defense line.
