Eisenhower Administration bill approved by the House Ways and, Means Committee. The ad- ministration is against a tax re- duction until a balanced budget is in sight.

President Eisenhower’s first ma- | jor address since his State of the !Union message to Congress was It will be 100 days Wednesday since President Eisenhower took the oath of office and declared that peace—with honor and with- gut appeasement—was the su- preme goal of the new regime. As the days have flashed by, the administration has begun re- aligning American foreign policy toward ‘snatching the Cold War initiative from Russia and the President himself has laid down Specific peace proposals, Yet the administration has had trouble getting some new people into office and some old ones out. And sparks flew for a time over the way Sen. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) investigated the State Department and sidestepped the Department and Wliite House in promoting an agreement by Greek ship owners to.quit carrying war supplies to Red China, Of course, stacking the early days of the Eisenhower.

The break many expected with Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, the main rival to Eisenhower for the GOP presidential nomination, failed to develop.

N. inspection, use of resultant savings for another kind of war, against poverty and hunger in the world. And by sending Secretary of State Dulles and Mutual Security Administrator Harold E. Stassen to Europe, the President prodded Western powers toward greater unity against the Red threat. Regardless of what factors here or abroad are responsible, these first 100 days have seen the first prisoner exchange in Korea and revived hope for an armistice. He withdrew the U. S. 7th Fleet and left Chinese Nationalists on Formosa free to attack Reds on ithe mainland. All along the: line the new ad- ministration has ordered budgets trimmed down and most depart- ments have turned in progress re- ports. The big Defense Depart- ment still is working on the prob- lem. Accompanying budget slashing as economy moves have been hold- downs on spending and employ- ment and freezes on new govern- ment projects. And in the interests of efficiency, the chief executive has sent to Congress plans to re- organize the Agriculture and Jus- tice Departments and merge the National Security Resources Board and Office of Defense Manage- ment. In keeping with Eisenhower ideas of getting the government out of competition with private business, the administration is try- ing to dispose of a barge line Forthermore, all controls over prices and wages have been wiped the treasury is trying to away from any “easy money” and put the public debt on term basis as a means batting inflation.

Cur- rent guessing was that about half @ dozen new assistant ‘posts might be contemplated— assistant secretaries for prodyc- tion, for supply, for research and development, for engineering, for atomic liaison, for the post of gen- eral counsel.

Recommendations by the Gov- jernment Reorganization Commit- jtee, headed by Nelson Rockefeller, and which will cover both State and Defense Departments, will go jto Congress soon. The expansion of the civilias directorate of the Defense Depart- ment, with a re-allocation of re- sponsibilities and authority, could mean that some functions of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—the military high command of the country— would be turned over to civilians. It has been a complaint of all previous defense secretaries that because they had no large staff in their immediate office they were forced to rely upon the joint chiefs for work and advice not purely military. Some previous service secre- taries are known to have felt they were captives of the generals and | admirals who were supposed to i respond to the directives of the secretaries.
