Prosperity Predicted
Eisenhower foresaw a decade
of unprecedented prosperity. But
he cautioned that it could be
achieved only through the com-
bined efforts of businessmen, la-
bor, consumers, and government
at all levels.
In a direct appeal for some
price cuts, he told industry that
“price reductions warranted by
especially rapid productivity gain
must be a normal and frequent
feature of our economy.”
And he told labor that wage in-
creases should remain “within the
limits of general productivity
gains.”

leaders Wednesday as they
started work on the 1961
federal budget.
“We should be able to cut at
least $2 billion," said Clarence
Cannon (D-Mo.), chairman.
“A couple of billion or more,"
said Rep. Taber of New York,
senior Republican, commenting
on budget-cutting prospects.
Personnel Total High
Both men are influential in de-
termining the size of new appro-
priations bills which finance the
federal budget. Both singled out
civilian personnel as an area for
sharp cuts and large money sav-
ings.
"The federal payroll tops a
billion dollars a month,” Cannon
said. "The new budget provides
for increases in personnel in ev-
ery department of the govern-
ment. We will seek to hold per-
sonnel to this year’s levels. That
would effect a considerable sav-
ings and would not interfere
with efficiency.”
Taber said his analysis of the
president's $79,800,000,000 budget
shows plans for 42,000 additional
civilian employes in the govern-
ment. At least 40,000 of those
