Price (D-Ill) said today the new administration is pianning to cut spending for atomic energy “‘to the bone” at a time when “the Kremlin is stepping up the tempo of its atomic effort.” Cuts of hundreds of millions of dollars will be made in former President Truman's two billion dol- lar atomic energy budget for the year starting July 1, Price said.in an_ interview. However, Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-NY), chairman of the Senate- House Atomie Energy Committee, said in a separate interview the extent of reductions has not been finally decided. He said the Tru- man budget for aicmic energy is still under review by the Budget Bureau. He expressed belief the Eisen- hower administration ‘will not touch the heart’ of the program because, he said, it is “convinced of the importance” of expanding it, Price, a member of Cole’s com- mittee, cautioned Congress in a speech prepared for House delivery against “ill advised” funds cuts. He said he .believes cuts already decided upon by the administra- tion will be so deep that “any affect the expansion program.” Price said he was not protest- ing administration reductions but will fight against any further cuts by Congress, and he added: “This will be an honest budget |i and Congress should accept it, in- stead of making automatic cuts.” Price and Cole agreed that Rus- atomic development. “We know that Russia has atom- ie bombs in numbers,” Cole said, “And the Russians are making sizable progress—so much so that we should do everything to avoid letting them use their bombs.” Price said in his speech that the committee had received abundant top-secret evidence of an increased tempo in Russia’s atomic program. as morally correct as their little chum who works behind a counter or in a bank.
