Ike's Budget Calls
Tax Boost, Defense
WASHINGTON (VP) President Eisenhower proposed
in a $79.8 billion budget yesterday that a skeptical Congress
boost some taxes, build a big surplus, and whittle defenses
spending while the world still teeters "on the edge of
disaster."
The odds appeared to be definitely against his getting
his way
Spending bills for missiles and Navy ships would be
Low Rate
Insurance
Available
Three insurance plans will ]
be offered to students at re
duced premium rates during
the spring semester and sum
mer vacation.
The insurance will cover the
student until next September
while he is on campus, at home
or traveling. It may be purchased
to cover the student's dependents
also.
The first plan covers: (A) acci
dental death, (B) accidental medi
cal expenses up to $lOOO, (C) sick
ness expenses, and (D) major
medical expenses that are in ex
cess of (B) and (C) up to $7500.
This plan costs $14.25.
The second plan provides in
surance for major medical ex
penses only, and does not pro
vide any payment for the first
$5OO of expenses incurred as a
result of accident or sickness.
The cost of this plan is $4.50.
The third plan includes cover
age for accidental death, acci
dental medical expenses and sick
ness expenses, but provides no
insurance for major medical ex
penses included in the other
plans. The rate of this plan it
$11.40.
The enrollment period is from
Jan. 29 to Feb. 15.
Students may sign up for the
insurance during spring semester
registration at Recreation Hall

trimmed a bit, and the one for
military airplanes somewhat more,
in this record peacetime budget.
It covers the 1961 fiscal year
starting July 1, 1960.
Eisenhower bold the legisla
tors his budget is a prudent one
and provides both for "main
taining required military
strength and enhancing the na
tional welfare,"
Doubting Thomases immediate
ly began speaking up. Democrats
cried out about what they called
guessing and playing politics with)
finances. And it is the Democrats
who control this election-year
Congress.
They appeared to be bent on
kicking the props from under Ei
senhower's plan to raise gasoline
and postal rates and pile up $4.2
billion surplus in the Treasury—
a surplus the administration fig
lured might lead to a general re
duction in taxes next year.
And they may mount a success
ful drive for more spending on
defense lind the conquest of space
than the President wants—along
with more for such things as hous
ing, health and education.
So as Sen. Mike Mansfield
(D-Mont.). put it, "ifs, ands and
buts" beset the budget and the
projected surplus. Somi key
Republicans had to agree,
As Eisenhower laid it down, the
government will take in a record
$B4 billion in revenue in the next
fiscal year, on the expectation of
a prospering economy which will
pass the half-trillion-dollar mark.
It will spend $79.816 billion. This
woud leave a $4.184 billion sur
plus which the President said
should be applied to the vast na
tional debt.
