HOW ABOUT INNER SPACE?
view of our present preoccupation with outer space
is time to reflect on how different we have been to
der that the most inner of inner space—the space in
h we live and work-is getting more expensive

unter sufficient inner space these davs in which t

is therefor gratifying to be able to report that some-
y is being done about it—at long last. While our
tists and rocketeers stab at outer space, a group call-
UA (for space utilization analysis), is busily at work
ning how much inner space sundry businesses gov-
ent subdivisions and halls of learning should have,
how it should be used. This goes for now and any
e period up to 1980.

EUROPE NO DEFENSE FOR US
ngress, it appears at this writing, is eager to approve
Administration request that is labeled “defense” or
tary,” but equally unwilling to face up—in an elec-
year—to what President Eisenhower predicted would
jne of the hardest and most distasteful tasks that the
ng session of Congress must face.”
e grumbling, which followed the Budget Message call
uts in such items as public assistance, rural electrifi-
n, agriculture, housing, public works and hospital
ruction, burst into flame with the subsequent unveil-
if the President’s farm message. From Louisiana’s Dem-
ic Senator Ellender to Vermont’s Republican Senator
n, the “farmer’s friends” in Congress rose up in wrath

12th radio address of Brig. Gen. Bonner Fellers, USA
I over station KVOD, Denver, as printed for them on
3 A169-170-171 in the January 13 issue of their own Con-

its revenues. But the report pre-
dicts a pick-up based, in part,
on expected increases in invest-
ment spending end residential
construction, but based mostly
on higher government defense
spending and increased state and
local government outlays.
Reading the report, I can’t say
I would want to place any bets
on an early economic upswing,
if I were a betting man. What
bothers me is whether the things
that the administration’s economic
advisers seem to be counting on
will happen fast enough to stop
the increasing unemployment, the
fall-off in production and the
drop in personal income, which
have all become too sharp for
comfort.
That, of course, is one of the
tilings I plan to ask the Presi-
dent’s economc “doctor’s" when
they come before the joint eco-
nomic committee, of which I am
chairman, to explain the Presi-
dent’s report next week. I hope
they can put my mind at case.
TAX HEDGE?: Following the
administration’s optimism that
the business recession will quick-
ly cure itself, the secretary of
the treasury, Robert Anderson,
has now said the economy needs

THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The battle over the President’s
budget began to shape up this
week, with release of the Presi-
dent’s yearly economic report.
This report is required by the
1946 full employment act and is,
in effect, the Presidenf’s “eco-
nomic budget” for the year ahead.
It deals with the whole economy
and thus contains the expecta-
tions on which forecasts of tax
revenues are based.
The administration’s claim that
its real budget for fiscal 1959,
calling for $73.9-billion of spend-
ing, will be in balance is based
on the theory that there will be
a quick upturn in business and
employment.
In my last letter, I question-
ed whether the administration is
justified in its optimism. If a
full business recovery doesn’t
happen quickly, people won’t
have enough incomes to produce
the $73.9-billion of tax revenues
at present tax rates.
HEARING ON ECONOMIC RE-
PORT: The economic report does
not say just how far the admin-
istration expects incomes to rise
during this year, although the
Treasury had to make precise
assumptions in order to estimate

WATER CONSERVATION: 'j
During the 1957 session of Con- |
gross, we encountered strong op-
position to our efforts to provide j
for construction money for the |
Cooper Dam and Reservoir proj-
ect. The opposition was based on
the fact that the planning had not
been finished by the Corps of
Engineers. The rule is that no
project can receive construction
money until plans have been
completed. Nevertheless, we per-
severed in our efforts and suc-
ceeded in getting money ear-
marked for construction on this
project. Our efforts bore fruit
when—instead of being killed by
the Budget Bureau—this project
was included, last week, in the
new Federal Budget in the cate-
gory of projects “under construc-
tion.’’ So, far from losing the
project, we are receiving a Bud-
get recommendation of $800,000.
Ferrell’s Bridge Dam and Reser-
voir is practically finished.
