WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 U The
military defense budget, by far the
biggest item of federal expendi-
ture, was placed before Prerident
Eisenhower today.
All hands were sternly enjoined
against discussing its details pub-
licly and about all that was known

hours of discussion between the
President and his military and ci-
vilian Defense Department offi-
cials.
After the conference at the White______ ______

Hagerty told reporters there would
be no announcement as to the fig-
ures at this time. Nor would he
say whether further conferences
would be required before final de-
cisions are reached.
Wilson Satisfied
| Air Force buildup would go unre- D

cials said, would be made in sup- H
ply and other “supporting" man- J
power and would not affect com-
bat strength.
Draft Call Cut
The signal for an Army cutback
, went out yesterday when it was
announced that the February draft
call would be reduced to 18,000,

Secretary of Defense Wilson
said, just before leaving yesterday
for s North Atlantic Treaty meet-
ing in Paris, that he was “‘per-
sonally satisfied" with the budget
worked out for the fiscal year start-
ing net July 1.
"We are making progress toward
more defense for the money," be
said.
Wilson previously had indicated
that the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps were in for perhaps a 10 per
cent cut in personnel, but that the
000 or suspended altogether “in
the foreseeable future."
The military spending program
to be submitted to Congress next
month represents what Wilson de-
scribed as a "balance" of the
views of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
based on their new appraisal of
the global situation.

want to take later.

DEMOS
(Continued front Page 1-A)
freedom of worship, freedom from
want, freedom from fear—first
laid down in an address to Con-
gress on Jan. g. 1941.
“Those gallant hopes of yester-
day have given way to the sorry
confusion of today. The four free-
doms have been replaced by the
four fears—fear of depression, tear
of communism, fear of ourselves,
fear of freedom itself."
Demos Laid Base
Laying particular emphpasis on '
fear of depression Stevenson said
Americana still have a reasonable .
chance of mastering their econom-
1c destiny. He took the position
that it is largely on foundations
erected by the Democrats that this
can be done.
Yet, the titular head of the Dem-
erratic party, said, "they called
us Socialists.
While he said there has been
foolish talk from Washington about
government for and by business
men, he cautioned Democrats to
avoid the temptation to "turn all
failures of the administration to
the discredit of businessmen in
general.”
The task of building security and
prosperpity in the land in a task /
for all, he said, and with Intelli-
gent and courageous leadership,
confidence and common sense
throughout the land, “we need
have no fear of the economic col-
lapse Stalin so confidently and
often predicted.”
Like Atom Plan
Stevenson started off by offering
warm thanks to Eisenhower for
taking the Initiative In proposing
international poopling of atomic
materials for peaceful development
and for reaffirming America's de-
sire for peaceful, friendly relations
with the Russian people..
He also applauded Secretary of
State Dulles' emphatic rejection of •
recent assaults on our Allies by
Republican senators.
Although Stevenson used the
plural, this was an unmistakable
crack at McCarthy, who has de-
manded that the administration
stop helping Allies who carry on
what the Senator calls “blood
trade" with Communist China.
Stevenson gave a nod of approv-
al to Robert Meyner, Democratic
governor-elect of Now Jersey. He
said that measured by election re-
sults of late. Democratic fortunes
have suddenly improved and there i
have been “comforting operating
results of the past year.”
