. ___ __ ___ He did not give an inch in his demands for the vast social and economic program he demanded in his state-ol-the-unlon message; such as housing, better schools, mOre social security benefits.

On the defence front, he stressed the importance of nir - power, but frowned on the idea of a 703group air force, which has been heavily backld in Congress and by the nlr gen- erala. Truman said that. num- her and size of planes, rather than number of groups, is o better gauge of air force strength.

Republicans called the '.I‘ruma.n figures dangerous. reckless and over-estimated. But administra- tion forces showed no sign of dis- content.

Representative Clarence Cannon iDem. Mo) called the budget "the most practical that could be pre- sentcd at this time." Gannon will head the House of Representatives appropriations committee where spending bills originate.

The committee's senior Repub- lican. Representative John Taber of New York, observed "they've evidently given everybody every- thing they asked for." He said it aouid be cut down.

3282 Each

‘The budget is $873,000.00!) big- ger than the Government's pros- peciive income of $40.985,000,000 in ihe year ahead. It figures out

to $382.83 apiece for every Ameri- can.

Yet it doesn't even take into account plans for providing mil- itary supplies for Western Europe and "certain other" unnamed countries. Truman said he would ask for money for that “later?

He said, too. that;

"It must be recognized that ex- penditures in the fiscal year 1951 are likely to be larger than those for 1550. Expenditures for national defence can be expected i0 rise substantially above the level esti- mated for 1950."

The budget message included a $20,000,000 estimate for the pro- posed St. Lawrence seaway and power project, without giving any breakdown showing how the fund would be expended. The Presid- ent also recommended $56,000,000 for a. proposed international wheat agreement.

He suggested an additional $2.- 000,000,000 in payroll taxes, on business and individuals, to fin- ance his program of new or big- ger social security benefits.

For one thing, he said. he wants the present one-per-cent rate on workers and their employers boos:- ed to l".- per cent each next July l. That is six months ahead of the schedule Congress set.

By the same date he wants "nearly" all the 25,000,000 gain-t. fully employed persons not now covered brought into the old-age insurance system. They would pay ‘faxes. too.

The President is counting on raising $260,000,000 for a new health insurance program with a payroll tax of one-quarter of one per cent each on companies and workers. But only $15,000,000 of fnat would be spent the first year.
