Ike's Budget Predicts Surplus Of $400 Million
WASHINGTON (U.P.) - Topical summary of President Eisenhower's budget message for the 1957 fiscal year included:
General Picture-The budget is balanced, with spending at $65.9 billion, revenues at $66.3 billion, and a prospective surplus of $400 million. Mr. Eisenhower said the surplus should be applied to reducing the national debt.
He ruled out tax cuts for the present.
He also predicted the government will wind up June 30 with a $200 million surplus.
Spending—Up about $1.6 billion over the current fiscal year.
National security programs of all kinds, including foreign aid and atomic energy, account for $64 per cent of the total spending.
Revenues—With no change in present taxes, the government's income is expected to rise about $1.8 billion.
Tax policy—"Our present tax level is very burdensome and . . . should be reduced when we prudently can," but "in the present state of our financial affairs, I earnestly believe that a tax cut can be deemed justifiable only when it will not unbalance the budget."
Economic Outlook—"Our objective is to foster and encourage conditions in which this prosperity can be sustained and can be more fully shared by agriculture and certain sectors of our industrial economy."
The world outlook—Soviet leaders have given no "tangible evidence" of a willingness to accept a workable disarmament plan. Hence we must follow a policy of "steadily strengthening the defense of the United States and its allies" to deter or defeat aggression.
Defense—To give the nation "the greatest military power in its peacetime history," he proposed defense spending of $35.5 billion.
Parents Hear Band Concert
An audience, which included the parents of many members of the University Band, heard the annual winter concert Sunday afternoon in Hoch Auditorium.

Reese Suffers Heart Attack
russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, and the band were given two curtain calls by the audience.
J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy, was admitted to Watkins Memorial Hospital Jan. 14 after suffering a light heart attack. Miss Audrey Chapman, secretary to Dean Reese, said today that his two scheduled lecture classes would not be held. No further information was available at press time.
It's Both Schools, Now
A KU cheerleader's megaphone, missing for more than four hours Saturday afternoon at Manhattan, turned up in Ahearn Field House plastered with Kansas State decals and stickers.
Jayhawk cheerleader Vince Bilotta, East Orange, N. J., junior, arrived at the K-State Sigma Chi fraternity house at noon. He discovered the theft of his megaphone about 1 p.m.
After an hour's search through the house and in over 20 automobiles parked in the vicinity, he gave up.
Bilotta noticed K-State cheerleader John Thies standing on the sidelines throughly enjoying Bilotta's frustration. Thies was served with an ultimatum:
The KU megaphone must reappear in Ahearn Field House before the K-State-KU basketball game or else!
Reappear it did. Thies, standing before a large section of Wildcat rooters in the field house, removed his K-State megaphone which was covering the KU megaphone.
To the delight of the K-State fans, there stood the exasperated Jayhawk cheerleader holding a completely redecorated red, blue, purple, and white megaphone. (See picture.)

Construction of the new $200,000 Alpha Omicron Pi sorority house will begin early next week. It is expected to be completed in time for rush week next fall.

"It picked up snow and it moved just fine.
"It was born one morning when the sun didn't shine.
"The snow plows said: "Well, bless my soul."
"Loaded two inches of number one snow.
"You load more snow and what do you get.
Well, It's One Way Of Getting An Editor
"Another day colder and deeper in wet,
"We owe our snow to the tricky low."
