P R E S ID E N T
To the Congress oj the United States:
I transmit herewith my recommendations for the Budget of the
United States for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1953.
Expenditures are estimated at 85.4 billion dollars, an increase of
14.5 billion dollars over the current fiscal year, and 45.3 billion dollars
over 1950, the last full fiscal year before the attack on Korea.
Receipts under present tax laws are estimated at 71.0 billion dollars,
an increase of 8.3 billion dollars over the current fiscal year, and 34.0
billion dollars over 1950.
The increase in receipts will fall short of meeting the increase in ex
penditures. In the absence of new revenue legislation, a deficit of
14.4 billion dollars is in prospect for the fiscal year 1953, 6.2 billion
dollars greater than the estimated deficit for the current fiscal year.

Eighteen months ago, the unprovoked attack upon the Republic of
Korea made it clear that the Kremlin would not hesitate to resort to
war in order to gain its ends. In the face of this grim evidence, this
Nation and the other nations of the free world realized that they must
rearm in order to survive.
Since then, we have made significant progress in rebuilding our de
fenses. We have more than doubled the strength of our armed forces.
We have increased the number of our Army divisions from 10 to 18.
We have returned to duty more than 160 combatant vessels from our
“mothball” fleet. We have added more than 40 wings to our Air
Force. We have greatly expanded our production of military equip
ment and our ability to mobilize for any emergency. We have
provided our allies overseas with the critical margin of aid necessary
to help them to grow stronger.
This Budget reflects the progress we have made thus far, and it lays
the groundwork for further progress.
m5
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
It reflects our progress to date in two ways. First, the high rate of
expenditures for military equipment estimated for 1953 reflects the
results of the tremendous effort that has been made during the past
18 months in getting the flow of production started. Second, the
smaller amount of new obligational authority which I am recom
mending indicates the substantial portion of the financial requirements
for our military build-up that has been met in the appropriations
already made by the Congress.
This Budget lays the groundwork for further progress by providing
for additional increases in the strength of our armed forces, additional
deliveries of arms to our allies overseas, continued requirements of our
atomic energy program, and further development of our economic
strength. By the end of the fiscal year 1953, we will have reached or
passed the peak production rates for all of our major military items
except some of the newer model aircraft and some weapons not yet
in production.
This Budget calls for the largest expenditures in any year since
World War II. It will involve a heavy burden for our taxpayers,
because the job of building the strength we need to safeguard the
security of this Nation is enormously expensive.
Despite its size, this is not a Budget for all-out mobilization. It is
a Budget carefully planned to carry us a long way forward on the road
to security— at a pace which is not only within our present economic
capacity, but which will enable us to grow stronger in the years to
come.
If new international tensions do not develop, and if no further
aggressions are attempted, I hope we will be able to reduce Budget
expenditures after the fiscal year 1954. By then we should have
completed most of our currently planned military expansion.
BUDGET EXPENDITURES
More than three-fourths of the total expenditures included in this
Budget are for major national security programs—military services,
international security and foreign relations, the development of
atomic energy, the promotion of defense production and economic
stabilization, civil defense, and merchant marine activities. Major
national security programs not only dominate this Budget but also
account for practically all of the increase in total Budget expendi
tures since the attack on Korea. As the table on the following page
indicates, expenditures for all other Government programs have
declined 9 percent since the fiscal year 1950. This decline has
occurred during the period when the costs of goods and services
which the Government buys have been rising.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
For the fiscal year 1953, expenditures for all other Government
programs will be nearly a billion dollars below the level of the pres
ent fiscal year. Within this net decrease, some programs have been
reduced, others have been held to current levels, and still others have
been expanded.

I have sharply reduced expenditures for those programs which can
be deferred or eliminated, even though these programs bring clear
benefits to the Nation and would be highly desirable in normal times.
For example, many long-range programs for the development of our
natural resources are being deferred in order to place greater emphasis
on meeting current defense requirements. This Budget contains
funds for only half as many general flood-control projects as my
Budget of 2 years ago. New starts on flood control, reclamation, and
river and harbor works have been limited to urgently needed power
projects, flood-control projects in the Kansas-Missouri area, and
emergency rehabilitation work which cannot be deferred. The
Federal-aid highway program will remain below the authorized
level of 500 million dollars, and major emphasis is being placed on im
proving the network of roads most essential to defense and civilian
traffic. Expenditures for rural electrification and rural telephones
have been reduced. All major programs for housing and community
development outside critical defense housing areas will be held sub
stantially below the levels authorized by basic legislation.
Many other programs, which are necessary for preserving the basic
strength of this Nation, have been maintained at approximately their
present levels. Finally, a number of programs contributing directly to
the defense effort have been expanded— such as defense housing, aid
for schools in defense areas, projects for expansion of electric power
generation, and the port security program of the Coast Guard.
A Budget of the scope and size that I am recommending makes
it imperative that each department and agency of the Government
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
enforce every possible economy in spending the money for which it
is responsible. The Department of Defense, in particular, must con
tinue to place the greatest emphasis upon efficiency in the adminis
tration of the military programs. In the past year, many improve
ments have been made in the management of the Government’s
affairs. Some of these improvements are outlined in the final section
of this Message.
NEW OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY
To provide for further progress toward reaching our national
objectives, I am recommending in this Budget a total of 84.3 billion
dollars in new obligational authority for the fiscal year 1953. This is
9.2 billion dollars less than the amount of new obligational authority
available for the current fiscal year.
This Budget also includes 3.2 billion dollars of appropriations to
liquidate prior year contract authorizations.
The obligational authority either already enacted or recommended
in this Budget will have an important effect on expenditures in future
fiscal years. Under the expanding security program, there is an
extended time lag between the enactment of obligational authority
and actual expenditures. Many months elapse between the time
the Congress authorizes expenditures for ships, planes, tanks, and
other items of military equipment and the time when these items
are produced, delivered, and completely paid for. Under these
circumstances, the new funds authorized in one fiscal year may not
be entirely spent until several years later. For example, of the new
obligational authority recommended for 1953, nearly half will be spent
in later years. By the end of the fiscal year 1953, virtually all of this
authority will have been obligated, in the form of contracts for
necessary goods and services for which delivery and payment cannot
be made until the fiscal year 1954 or later.
According to present indications, total Budget expenditures will
continue to be high in the fiscal year 1954, even though new obliga
tional authority may decline further.

FINANCING THE SECURITY EFFORT
When we embarked on the defense program to keep our country
strong, I stated that sound financial policy required us to pay for the
increased defense costs by current taxation, and that we should avoid
adding substantially to the public debt. This policy is important to
the preservation of the financial strength of our Government, to the
success of the stabilization program, and to the sharing of defense
costs fairly.
To carry out this policy, I proposed to the Congress two separate
tax measures during the latter half of 1950 and another early in 1951.
The Congress responded promptly to my earlier recommendations but
enacted only part of the proposals I made last year.
I recommended last year that the Congress provide at least 10
billion dollars of additional revenue and laid stress on the importance
of improving the equity of the tax system. The legislation enacted
by the Congress late last year will contribute little more than half of
the amount I recommended.
Since then, the needs of adequate defense have become clearer.
For the fiscal year 1952, total Budget expenditures are estimated at
M lO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
about 71 billion dollars, and they are expected to rise nearly 15 billion
dollars in the fiscal year 1953.
While revenues under present tax laws are expected to rise, they
will still fall short of meeting expenditures by a substantial amount
in 1952 and an even larger amount in 1953.
A pay-as-we-go tax policy is difficult to regain once we fall behind.
We cannot now undertake, on a strict pay-as-we-go basis, the dual
job of making up for the inadequate revenue legislation last year and
meeting the increases in expenditures immediately ahead. However,
there is still time to insure more nearly adequate financing for the
defense program as a whole. In my judgment this calls, at the very
least, for the amount of additional revenue by which last year’s legis
lation fell short of my recommendations.
The need for improving the equity of the tax system gives me as
much concern as the need for revenue. The tax laws should not be
used as a means of granting special favors or hiding special subsidies.
Glaring injustices in our tax laws should be eliminated before those
with modest means are asked to shoulder additional burdens.
The Congress has made some progress in this direction, but un
happily it has also added new loopholes, as I stated at the time I
signed the Revenue Act of 1951. When the Congress practices
favoritism in writing tax laws, it encourages self-seekers to try to gain
favored treatment.
The attainment of the revenue objectives I have outlined would not
fully resolve our revenue problem this year or next. The Congress
should be clear about the risks involved in this course. But economic
growth will continue to increase the productivity of the tax system in
future years. Moreover, I hope that world conditions and the build
up of our defensive strength will permit a reduction in Federal expendi
tures after the fiscal year 1954. Thus, the problem of financing
defense should be eased once the build-up of our defensive strength
has been attained.
How we meet the situation in the meantime will depend greatly on
the reaction of producers and consumers in the face of unavoidable
shortages and the rise in incomes stemming from Government expendi
tures. One of the key factors will be the adequacy of savings to re
strain demand and to meet the investment requirements of business.
We cannot, however, be complacent. It is cause for grave concern
that, partly as a result of inadequate revenue legislation last year, we
are now confronted with the impracticability of financing Government
expenditures currently out of taxes for the next year or two.
Prudence demands that we return to a pay-as-we-go policy as
quickly as practicable. In the meanwhile, we must be continually
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
alert to threats to economic stability and be prepared to deal with the
situation as it develops.
MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS
The Bureau of the Budget, in cooperation with the other Federal
departments and agencies, has undertaken a comprehensive study of
the fees charged by Government agencies for services to private indi
viduals and groups. The objective of this study is to place these serv
ices on a self-supporting basis wherever practicable, in accordance with
the policy I first stated in my 1948 Budget Message and with the
provisions of title V of Public Law 137, enacted in the first session of
this Congress. Some of these results are reflected in this Budget, in
the form of an additional 37 million dollars in reimbursements to
appropriations and miscellaneous receipts. Some of the more signifi
cant adjustments in fee schedules, however, cannot be made without
legislative authority. The legislative proposals to effect these adjust
ments will be submitted to the Congress as they are prepared.
BORROWING AND THE PUBLIC DEBT
On the basis of present tax rates, it is estimated that the public
debt will increase from 255 billion dollars at the beginning of the cur
rent fiscal year to 260 billion dollars by June 30, 1952, and 275 billion
dollars by June 30, 1953— the present statutory limit.
The prospective debt increase makes it essential that the Govern
ment continue to follow policies in the new financing and the refunding
of maturing issues which reinforce the economic stabilization program.
The American people can help the stabilization program by continu
ing to purchase savings bonds and by taking other steps to increase
new savings. The millions of people who own savings bonds maturing
in the near future can also help to combat inflation by keeping their
bonds and allowing them to continue accumulating interest, rather
than cashing them at this time. Legislation enacted last year permits
the holders of these bonds to earn interest on them for another 10 years
without the necessity of exchanging them for new bonds.

MILITARY SERVICES
The cost of expanding and strengthening our armed forces con
tinues to be the largest item in the Budget.
During the past 18 months our fighting men and their allies have
repulsed two waves of aggression in Korea. At home we have not
only supported our forces in Korea but also have made substantial
progress in building military strength for use in the event of an all-out
emergency. We now have almost 3% million men and women in our
armed forces, more than twice as many as we had when Korea was
attacked. Our monthly production of guns, tanks, planes, ships, and
other military hard goods has increased fivefold since Korea and will
continue to increase in the months ahead.
This Budget provides not only for maintaining our present military
strength, but also for building toward somewhat higher goals than
we had planned a year ago. These new goals contemplate an Air
Force of 143 wings, an Army of 21 divisions, a Navy with 408 major
combatant vessels in the active fleet and 16 large carrier air groups, a
Marine Corps of three divisions and essential supporting elements for
all these services.
Expenditures for military services are estimated at 51.2 billion dol
lars in the fiscal year 1953 as compared to 39.8 billion dollars in 1952,
20.5 billion dollars in 1951, and 12.3 billion dollars in 1950. The in
crease is due largely to the fact that the rate of military production
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
M l3
has risen sharply from the levels of 18 months ago and will continue
to rise through the fiscal year 1953. It also reflects the costs of
modern weapons, which are much higher than in World War II.
I am recommending 52.4 billion dollars in new obligational author
ity for military services in the fiscal year 1953 as compared to 61.7
billion dollars in 1952. This reduction is possible because a substan
tial portion of the obligational authority required to finance our mili
tary expansion has already been provided by the Congress.

2 Includes proposed legislation of $3.5 billion.
Military personnel.— This Budget provides for an increase in total
active armed strength from 3.6 million men at the end of the current
fiscal year to 3.7 million men during the fiscal year 1953 and for an
increase in expenditures for military personnel from 10.1 billion dollars
in 1952 to 11.0 billion dollars in 1953. These expenditures include
provision for pay, clothing, subsistence, and transportation of our
men and women in uniform.
It is likely that we shall have to maintain relatively large military
forces for a long time to come. This fact raises three problems with
respect to the welfare of military personnel that will require legislative
action. The first is legislation proposed by the Administration
to make increases in military pay and allowances comparable to the
m
14
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
increases granted civilian employees of the Government last year.
The military budget includes, under proposed legislation, an amount
estimated to be sufficient to cover the cost of such an increase.
Second, present laws do not in many cases provide adequate bene
fits for the families of servicemen who die, either while serving their
country or after retirement. In recognition of this need, the Congress
is now considering survivors benefit legislation which would authorize
a self-sustaining system based on contributions from the servicemen
themselves. This legislation, however, does not provide protection
if service in the armed forces is terminated before retirement. I
believe that protection should be continuous and that the most
equitable way to achieve this protection is to extend the coverage
of the old-age and survivors insurance system to all members of the
armed forces. Such coverage would provide the same basic protec
tion for our service men and women that is now enjoyed by most
other Americans. A military survivors benefit system should be
designed to provide supplementary benefits scaled to the earnings in
excess of those covered by the old-age and survivors insurance system.
These new military benefits would supplement the payments under the
old-age and survivors insurance and veterans’ laws in these higher pay
ranges.
Third, I am concerned about the very large future obligations which
are being accumulated under the present military retirement system.
At the present time, these future obligations are not funded and
annual appropriations cover only the military retirement costs for
that year. I believe that the Congress should examine all the Fed
eral retirement laws and the experience which we have gained under
them with a view to determining whether future obligations for
military retirement should be met by a contributory system in which
career military personnel and the Government share in the establish
ment and maintenance of a retirement fund adequate to meet the
rapidly increasing costs of military retirement benefits.
M ajor procurement and production.— Funds for major procurement
are used to provide our expanding armed forces with modern tanks,
ships, aircraft, vehicles, ammunition, guided missiles, electronic equip
ment, and other hard goods ranging from the largest bomber to the
smallest pistol cartridge.
More than half of the expenditures for major procurement in the
fiscal year 1953 will be for aircraft. These very large costs reflect the
fact that the airplanes which we are building are much heavier and
very much more complex in design and equipment than those of even
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
a few years ago. In some of the new models, for example, the cost of
the electronic equipment alone represents more than the entire cost of
World War II planes designed for the same type of mission.
Most types of military equipment require many months to manu
facture. Thus, much of the expenditures for major procurement in the
fiscal year 1953 will be from funds appropriated in earlier years. On
the other hand, a large portion of the new obligational authority which
I am recommending for the fiscal year 1953 will be used to place con
tracts for military equipment that will be delivered and paid for in
subsequent fiscal years. I am recommending new authority of 21.7
billion dollars for major procurement in 1953, as compared to 29.4
billion dollars enacted for the current fiscal year.
In addition to supplying our active forces with the weapons and
equipment required to carry out their missions, this Budget will pro
vide some reserves of equipment which would help supply the armed
forces in the event of an all-out emergency. However, in a long-term
mobilization effort such as that on which we have embarked, our
policy is to rely primarily on a continuing flow of production and
the ability to achieve rapid expansion of production if necessary
rather than on the accumulation of large inventories of military
equipment.
This policy means that we will try to avoid production peaks and
troughs which would unnecessarily disrupt the economy. We will
also strive for the type of balance between military and civilian pro
duction which will permit us to maintain both a strong economy and
a strong military posture. At the same time, we will be producing
weapons of the most advanced design and will keep fresh the know
how of military production. Our production effort therefore must be
judged by how well it achieves these results as well as by the speed
with which the goods are delivered.
Acquisition and construction oj real property.— The rapid expansion
and modernization of our armed forces necessitates considerable
new military construction as well as major repair and modernization
of existing facilities. Obligational authority for much of this work
has already been enacted by the Congress, but, as is true with pro
curement funds, expenditures take place many months after the let
ting of contracts. Expenditures in 1953 are estimated at 3.5 billion
dollars as compared to 2.7 billion dollars in the current fiscal year.
These expenditures take account of the recommendations for certain
additional military construction which I shall submit to the Congress
in the near future.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Operation and maintenance.— The operation and maintenance of
our military equipment and our military establishments require the
services of many people and the purchase of many things. These
funds are used to purchase fuels, lubricants, spare parts, and other
supplies. They are also used to pay for storage, repairs, maintenance,
and handling of armor, armament, and ammunition; to operate and
maintain supply depots, service-wide transportation and communica
tion facilities, and medical establishments of the Army, Navy, and
Air Force. As we continue to expand our military strength, these
tasks grow in both magnitude and complexity.
A considerable portion of these funds is for the pay of civilian em
ployees engaged in operation and maintenance. Total civilian
employment in the Department of Defense for military functions
will reach approximately 1.3 million in the current fiscal year. In
fiscal year 1953, it is expected to be slightly higher and will represent
about half of all Federal civilian employment. Approximately 60
percent of the Department’s civilian employees are engaged in in
dustrial activities- at arsenals, ship yards, ordnance depots, repair
shops, and similar military installations.
Civilian components— The civilian components of the armed forces
consist of the National Guard; the Air National Guard; the Organized
Reserve units; and reserve officers’ training units of the Army, Navy,
Air Force, and Marine Corps. A vital part of our long-range policy
of increasing the potential military strength of this Nation consists of
increasing the size and improving the preparedness of these units.
Since Korea it has been necessary to draw upon our Reserves for
active duty. The number of men in the Organized Reserves and the
National Guard units declined from 837,000 in June 1950 to 525,000
in October 1951. This Budget provides for an increase to a strength
of 932,000 men in the civilian components by the end of the fiscal
year 1953.
Three legislative proposals which would strengthen our civilian
components are now before the Congress. The universal military
training bill would provide for 6 months of military training for every
able-bodied young man. The Armed Forces Reserve bill establishes
three classes of Reservists— the ready, stand-by, and retired Re
serves— and prescribes a more equitable and uniform policy applicable
to Reserve personnel of all services. The Reserve Officers’ Training
Corps bill provides for a reorganization and strengthening of the
college officer procurement programs of the services.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
It is contemplated that, if the statutory basis is provided, the
universal military training program will be put into effect on a limited
basis as early in the fiscal year 1953 as possible. It will be gradually
expanded until all qualified young men enter the program. With the
increase in the size and strength of our Reserve forces brought about
through universal military training, we can ultimately work toward a
progressive decrease in the size of our Regular standing forces.
These three bills, if enacted without delay, would progressively in
crease the size and improve the quality of our civilian components and
provide us with Reserve strength that can be rapidly mobilized in
event of emergency.
Research and development.— In building our military strength we
are providing our forces with the best and most advanced weapons
possible. In present-day warfare, and to an even greater extent in
the future, technical superiority in weapons can mean the difference
between victory and defeat. A strong research and development
program is essential to insure that our productive and material
resources go into weapons and equipment that are superior in quality
and performance to those of any aggressor and that we will be able
to maintain this superiority in the years to come.
As a result of research and development work done in the past few
years, our forces are now being equipped with new types of weapons
and equipment far superior to those of World War II. More new
and improved weapons are now going into production, and we are
perfecting the development of still others which will add to our military
strength in the years immediately ahead.
Expenditures of the Department of Defense for research and
development are estimated at 1.4 billion dollars in 1953, an increase
of 400 million dollars over 1952.
Stockpiling.— For the fiscal years 1947 through 1952 the Congress
provided obligational authority totaling 5.0 billion dollars for the
stockpiling of strategic and critical materials. In the four years pre
ceding Korea, exclusive of transfers of materials acquired under other
authority, 783 million dollars was spent for materials. Since Korea
there has been a rapid acceleration of the rate of stockpiling. M a
terials contracts valued at 2.3 billion dollars were placed in the 16
months ended October 31, 1951. Deliveries in this same period
amounted to 886 million dollars.
Taking into account these expenditures and transfers, as well as
price changes, the stockpile inventory at the end of October was
valued at 3.3 billion dollars. We expect to have in our stockpile at
M l7
m 18
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
the end of the fiscal year 1953, strategic and critical materials Vorth
about 5 billion dollars at September 1951 prices and will have under
contract an additional 1.7 billion dollars’ worth of vital materials for
delivery after 1953. This reserve of rubber, copper, tin, manganese,
chromite, tungsten, cordage fibers, and more than 60 other materials
will be an important source of strength in the years to come.
I am recommending 155 million dollars in new obligational authority
for stockpiling in the fiscal year 1953. This is about 435 million dol
lars less than the Congress enacted for the current fiscal year. Two
developments account in large measure for the decrease. First,
additional expansion of supply will be financed from Defense Produc
tion Act borrowing authority, thereby reducing the need to place
long-term contracts under stockpile authority. Second, the quantity
of materials available for stockpiling in 1952, although large, will be
less than originally anticipated because of the increase in consump
tion of materials for military purposes and expansion of productive
capacity. Therefore, a portion of the funds provided in earlier years
will be available to acquire materials in 1953.
Expenditures for stockpiling in fiscal year 1953 are estimated at
1.1 billion dollars as compared to 800 million dollars in 1952. This
increase reflects the fact that, because of actions taken in earlier
years to expand supplies, more material will be available for stock
piling in 1953.
Other activities supporting military services.— Included in this part of
the Budget are the net receipts of the Reconstruction Finance Corpo
ration for production and sale of tin, synthetic rubber, and abaca fibers
and for the liquidation of certain assets and liabilities remaining from
its World War II programs. Other activities supporting the military
services are mainly the research programs of the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, the activities of the Selective Service
System, and the National Security Training Commission.
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND FOREIGN RELATIONS
The vast rearmament program upon which this Nation has entered
has a single objective— the building of defensive forces and a mobiliza
tion base which will serve as a deterrent to communist aggression
and which can, if the deterrent fails, give us and our allies the strength
to defeat the aggression.
For that purpose, strength within the United States is not enough.
The areas most vulnerable to aggression are not in the Western
Hemisphere. They are in Europe, in the Middle East, and in Asia.
To deter aggression and provide for our own security require not
Ml 9
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
only building up our own strength but also building strength in
these areas.
The foreign policy and international programs of the United States,
as well as our own military program, recognize that fact. That is
why American forces are now serving with our allies in Korea and
Europe. That is why the Congress last year authorized the mutual
security program of military and economic assistance to nations
which have common security interests with us and a determination
to preserve their freedom.
The bulk of expenditures for international security in this Budget
are for military and economic assistance. Other major expenditures
are for the campaign of overseas information and education, for
participation in the United Nations and other international organiza
tions, and for the regular activities that make up the conduct of foreign
affairs.

Military and economic assistance.— I will soon submit to the Con
gress specific recommendations for the mutual security program totaling
about 7.9 billion dollars. Expenditures for military, economic, and
technical assistance in the fiscal year 1953 are estimated at 10.5 billion
dollars, as compared with 6.9 billion dollars in the present fiscal year.
The bulk of the assistance will go directly toward helping to build
adequate military defenses. The program will also include substan
tial sums for technical assistance and development work, under the
Point Four concept, to help the people of economically underdevel
oped areas move forward in solving their most pressing problems. The
solving of these problems is of vdtal importance in meeting the threat
of subversion, which in many areas of the free world is graver than the
threat of military attack.
950000— 52------- h i

20
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
The increase in mutual security program expenditures will be due
to a sharp acceleration in deliveries of military equipment to our allies
overseas. Expenditures for these deliveries and for certain other
forms of military assistance, such as training, are estimated at 4.0
billion dollars in the current fiscal year and 8.0 billion dollars in the
fiscal year 1953. During the past 18 months these deliveries have
been smaller than originally planned, partly because of the demands of
the Korean conflict, and partly because of the time required for the
production of complex long-lead-time equipment. Our production of
weapons is now increasing at a rate which will make possible deliveries
in the magnitudes required for the scheduled build-up of free world
forces. Accordingly, I have directed that a policy of allocating mili
tary equipment be established which will assure that United States
forces in Europe and NATO forces, as well as other forces of certain
foreign countries which in the case of war are most likely to be first
attacked, are adequately equipped.
Our mutual security program is a vital and indispensable element
in building security for the free world as a whole and for this country.
Under this program, friendly nations overseas will be able to obtain
the crucial margin of resources— military or economic— which they
need in order to develop rapidly their own potentials of strength
against aggression and subversion. The strength they can build will
be joined with the strength we are building in the total fight for
security and peace.
We cannot, as two world wars have proved, isolate ourselves from
threats to other free men. This Nation cannot stand by and see
free peoples overrun. In the end, that could only mean isolation of
this country in a world organized against it by Soviet masters.
Military and economic assistance to Europe.'— Through the efforts of
the Europeans themselves, combined with the additional resources
we are making available through our military and economic assist
ance programs, real progress is being made in Europe toward the
urgent objective of achieving adequate defense forces.
As of 18 months ago, the North Atlantic Treaty countries in
Europe had virtually no combat-ready defensive units in all of Con
tinental Western Europe, except for certain naval forces and the
ground divisions and air squadrons on occupation duty in Germany.
Since then, the active strength of their forces has been substantially
increased; in terms of men on active duty, their effective ground
strength now exceeds that of our own Army. Air cover and naval
support are being provided in increasing amounts. Moreover, the
units have been brought to a higher state of effectiveness through
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
longer periods of service and more thorough training and through
substantial additions to equipment including replacement of obsolete
weapons. Finally, many of the scattered units of the various coun
tries are now, under the command of General Eisenhower, being welded
into a single fighting force, and supporting systems of communica
tions, supply, and bases are being developed. Combined defense ex
penditures of the nine European members of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization have been increased sharply, from the equiva
lent of 4.5 billion dollars in fiscal year 1950 to an amount estimated
at more than 9.0 billion dollars in the current fiscal year.
Over the coming months progress in building European defenses
will be even more rapid, under plans recently developed by the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Temporary Council Committee,
under United States chairmanship. This Committee has reviewed
the present status of European defenses and the further requirements
estimated by the military leaders of the member nations and by
General Eisenhower’s international headquarters. It has developed
a realistic plan of action for a rapid build-up of effective defense
forces backed by well-trained and quickly mobilizable reserves.
This plan of action is designed to see that nonessentials and duplica
tions are stripped out and that the highest priority jobs are done first.
In spite of these reductions, it will still be necessary for many of the
member countries to make substantially larger efforts than previously
planned, and we, in addition to our contribution of forces, will have
to provide expedited deliveries of military equipment and economic
assistance.
On the basis of this new plan of action two important conclusions
emerge. First, it is now clear that within 12 more months Western
Europe can have a compact force which would offer strong resistance
in the event of an attack. Secondly, under the new plan it is now
clear that within a few years it will be possible to attain a level of
Western European defenses which would make invasion there so
costly, and so unlikely of success, that the danger of its being at
tempted would become remote.
Our mutual security aid is an essential component required to
achieve the new defense plan on schedule. We will provide planes,
tanks, guns, production equipment, raw materials, and other supplies
which are needed to carry out the plan but which the Europeans can
not obtain from their own resources.
The largest part of this aid will be in the form of military equip
ment. The equipment we provide will have the direct effect of
bringing to combat readiness additional air wings, ground divisions,
M21
m
22
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
and naval units defending Western Europe against aggression. To
an increasing extent, the equipment we provide will be procured in
Europe. This will somewhat lighten the production burden on this
country, and by stimulating European military production will help
to bring nearer the day when Europe will be able to maintain her
forces without further assistance from us.
To enable the European countries to expand their defense programs
on schedule, other aid in the form of commodities— economic aid—
will be needed. The economy of Europe is undergoing a serious strain,
in part because of its own expanding defense programs and in part
because of world price movements associated with the defense build
up of the free world as a whole. Two of the key countries, Britain and
France, have been unable in recent months to pay for essential im
ports except by dipping deeply into their limited dollar reserves.
As the European defense programs expand, and industry and man
power are directed toward defense rather than producing for export,
European dollar deficits will continue to be serious although not
nearly so large as those which had to be dealt with in the immediate
postwar years.
To meet these problems it will be necessary for the European
countries to take additional measures to facilitate allocation of re
sources to defense and to prevent internal inflation. But despite
such measures, the Europeans will require our aid in meeting the
problem of dollar deficits without interruption of the defense build-up.
The mutual security program will also include assistance to certain
European countries not included in the North Atlantic Treaty.
This Budget includes funds for military and economic assistance
to help maintain the independence of Yugoslavia, which stands as
an example to Soviet satellites that independence can be achieved.
Greece and Turkey, key barriers to Soviet expansion into the eastern
Mediterranean, are maintaining large forces which are expected to
be integrated soon into the North Atlantic Treaty defense system.
Through military and economic assistance we will continue to assist
them in carrying this heavy burden. Negotiations are also in process
leading toward German participation in European defense.
Assistance to other areas oj the jree world.— The vulnerability to
internal and external aggression of many parts of the non-European
free world, especially the Middle East and Asia, requires that we make
the strongest efforts to help these areas gain in strength and stability.
Our mutual security program for these areas, as compared with
Europe, will place proportionately more emphasis on economic aid
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
and technical assistance than on supplying military equipment. So
long as conditions exist to feed the fires of communist agitation—
conditions of poverty, disease, illiteracy, and economic stagnation—
there will be the continuous danger of subversion and internal col
lapse. These problems are deep rooted and stubborn, but they can
be solved. Under the Act for International Development and other
legislation, this country adopted a long-range policy of working
directly with the underdeveloped countries to help them solve these
problems and lay a firm foundation upon which they can build with
their own resources. This policy has helped them to achieve progress
within their own economies, and to increase their contribution of
vital raw materials to the rest of the free world. In each instance
our assistance is predicated on the maximum possible effort by the
recipient country to solve its own problems.
In the Middle East, events during the past year have emphasized
the urgency of achieving stability and more adequate defenses. Much
can be accomplished by programs of technical assistance to deal with
basic problems of low productivity which underlie much of the region’s
difficulties. This Budget provides funds for our contribution for the
second year of the 3-year program for reintegration of Arab refugees,
and other funds for assistance to the Arab states, Iran, and Israel.
In Asia, the mutual security program for the fiscal year 1953 will
provide for a continued flow of military equipment, to assist the
troops of France and of the Associated States of Vietnam, Laos, and
Cambodia, in their gallant fight against the communist insurgents in
Indochina. We are providing, and will continue to provide under
this Budget, military equipment and other supplies to the Chinese
forces defending Formosa. Philippine troops, with weapons supplied
under the mutual security program, are making good progress in
suppressing the communists who have been a dangerous threat to
the economic and political development of the republic.
The needs of Asian countries for economic aid vary substantially
from country to country. Some countries are rich in resources; here
the great need is for technical assistance to help them more quickly
master the complex problems of developing and organizing their re
sources for the welfare of their people. In Indonesia, for example,
technical assistance will be provided to help this young republic de
velop its resources and establish essential administrative, health, and
educational facilities, so as to increase the stability of its democratic
government. To other countries in Asia we are supplying technical
assistance and also developmental aid to supplement their own
development programs. In India, for example, the government has
undertaken a large-scale program of agricultural expansion, in order
m23
m24
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
to meet the increasing pressure of population in relation to food pro
duction. In spite of mobilizing every resource it can, India will
require some aid from us to help solve her agricultural problem.
In Latin America it is essential that we continue our part of the
jointly financed programs of technical assistance, which are making an
important contribution toward solving problems of health, education,
and agricultural productivity. The Latin-American economy con
tinues to attract a large flow of private American capital. Key
development projects, including those for strategic materials, will
continue to be financed primarily on a loan basis, especially by the
Export-import Bank under its recently increased loan authority.
This Budget also contains limited funds for military assistance to
Latin America.
We are also contributing to United Nations technical assistance
programs. In addition, the broad purposes of the Point Four con
cept are being furthered by private investment, by loans from our
Export-import Bank, many of them for strategic materials develop
ment, and by loans from the International Bank for Reconstruc
tion and Development. In preparing the mutual security program
for underdeveloped countries, careful consideration has been given
to all loan possibilities.
Overseas injormation.— Expenditures for our overseas information
and educational exchange program, basic to our Campaign of Truth,
are estimated at 157 million dollars in the fiscal year 1953. The
increase of 47 million dollars over the current fiscal year will be needed
for expanded radio facilities, including ship-borne transmitters, capable
of reaching more and more people behind the Iron Curtain, and over
powering Soviet “jamming” attempts; for transfer of the Army’s
information program in Japan to the State Department; and for a gen
eral intensification of our efforts in the most critical areas of the world.
This vital program is coordinated with other parts of our total
security effort. Soviet propaganda and agitation use every possible
device, direct and concealed, to pervert the hopes and play upon the
fears of free peoples. Internal subversion, buttressed by propaganda
techniques rather than the commitment of Soviet armies, has played
the leading part since World War II in the expansion of the Soviet
Empire. Against these menacing instruments of the cold war, the
Campaign of Truth has been making substantial gains. The overseas
information program, speaking through every possible medium—radio,
press, motion pictures, information centers, exchange of persons— is
exposing the true nature of the communist menace and explaining to
the rest of the world the truth about our objectives.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
m 25
Other foreign affairs.— In addition to the funds for overseas infor
mation and education, this Budget includes expenditures of 162
million dollars for the conduct of other foreign affairs. We and our
allies must make sure, through the United Nations and other channels,
that war does not come about from a misunderstanding of our true
motives or from a failure to understand our determination to resist
tyranny.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
channeled to essential users. Controls over prices, wages, and rents,
as well as selective credit controls, are necessary for economic stabiliza
tion. Unfortunately the act is not strong enough to insure that we
can hold the line on prices. I therefore urge that the act be improved
as well as extended beyond the present expiration date of June 30,
1952.
Net expenditures for finance, commerce, and industry during the
fiscal year 1953 are estimated at 833 million dollars, compared to 751
million dollars in 1952 and 176 million dollars in 1951. The sharp
increase since 1951 has been due entirely to the expansion of programs
promoting defense production and economic stabilization. The pro
posed extension of the Defense Production Act accounts for all except
40 million dollars of the new obligational authority of 1,171 million
dollars recommended for 1953.
Expansion oj production.— The expansion of defense production is
primarily the job of private enterprise. The Government’s responsi
bility is to guide and assist the expansion wherever necessary.
Under the general supervision of the Director of Defense Mobiliza
tion and the Defense Production Administrator, Federal agencies with
defense responsibilities are using the authority of the Defense Pro
duction Act and related legislation to give broad financial aid to
defense industries. Nine Government agencies engaged in defense
procurement have guaranteed about 1.5 billion dollars in loans by
private banks to meet working capital requirements of defense con
tractors and subcontractors.
Substantial progress also has been made in expanding defense pro
duction by loans, commitments to purchase, and purchases of equip
ment and materials under the borrowing authority of 2.1 billion
dollars granted in the Defense Production Act. The Defense Mate
rials Procurement Agency has already been authorized to make
600 million dollars in purchases and purchase commitments for
rubber, magnesium, copper, aluminum, manganese, and other critical
materials, and 260 million dollars in advances and purchases to finance
the expanded production of urgently needed machine tools. Under
the same authority the Department of Agriculture is financing ex
pansions in supply of a few key agricultural products, and the De
partment of the Interior is making advances for exploration and devel
opment of domestic mineral resources.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation has been authorized to
use 275 million dollars from the same borrowing authority for loans,
mainly to expand facilities for production of machine tools, copper,
aluminum, and steel. These loans are in addition to the substantial
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
volume of loans for defense purposes made by the Corporation under
its regular authority. Similar loans in foreign areas will be made by
the Export-import Bank.
Using these and other means, we are making great strides toward
achieving increased economic strength. By the end of the fiscal year
1953, we will have steel ingot capacity of about 119 million tons com
pared to 109 million tons at present and 100 million tons 18 months
ago. Programs already underway will enable us to nearly double 1950
primary aluminum production by the end of 1953, and further in
creases in capacity are being planned. Production of machine tools is
making good progress. Magnesium production will soon be more than
seven times the pre-Korean level. Increases in supplies of other
critical raw materials such as manganese, tungsten, and molybdenum
are also assured over the next few years. At the same time, we are
helping friendly nations to expand their productive capacity. These
efforts will continue until our total supplies are adequate to meet both
military and civilian requirements.
The immediate effect on the Budget and the ultimate net cost to the
Government of all these programs will be small compared to the size
of the transactions and their contribution to the security effort.
Most of the loan guarantees will not require any net expenditures,
since premiums paid are expected to cover all expenses and losses.
According to present plans, the existing borrowing authority in the
Defense Production Act will be fully obligated by the end of the fiscal
year 1952. I therefore expect to recommend that the borrowing
authority be increased by 900 million dollars to permit the financial
assistance necessary primarily for long-range development of new
sources of strategic raw materials. This will involve additional net
expenditures of 285 million dollars in the fiscal year 1953.
Allocation of resources.— Defense production is absorbing a steadily
increasing share of the Nation’s resources. For some time, defense
needs and normal civilian demand for some materials and products
have been greater than the supply. Under the general supervision of
the Defense Production Administration, the National Production
Authority in the Department of Commerce has established allocations
and other controls over the use of these items in order to increase our
defense production quickly and efficiently. The Controlled Materials
Plan has been a valuable aid in shifting steel, aluminum, and copper
to the uses which best promote the security effort. The needs of
defense and other essential users are assured preference through a
priorities system. The burden on small business has been minimized
through exemptions for small orders, self-certification procedures, and
M27
m 28
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
speedier processing. Exports also are being channeled by the Depart
ment of Commerce to meet the most essential requirements of friendly
nations.
These controls are necessary to make sure that defense programs
and essential civilian activities will receive necessary equipment and
materials and that other users get their fair share of any remaining
supply.
Small business.— The security effort has necessarily disturbed the
normal peacetime patterns of business activity. The problem of ad
justment has been especially serious for many small businesses. The
newly established Small Defense Plants Administration, the Depart
ment of Commerce, and other agencies are helping small business make
this adjustment. Major attention is being given to increasing the
opportunities of small business to participate in defense production, as
either prime contractors or subcontractors, and to obtain a fair allo
cation of materials. Where other public and private credit facilities
prove inadequate, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will make
loans upon the recommendation of the Small Defense Plants Adminis
tration. The agency is also planning to help groups of small businesses
organize production pools to handle larger defense contracts. Finally,
where necessary to assure adequate participation by small business, the
Small Defense Plants Administration will itself take prime defense con
tracts, subcontracting the work to small plants. Appropriations
required for the revolving fund to finance these contracting and sub
contracting operations account for 25 of the 28 million dollars in
appropriations recommended for the agency under proposed legisla
tion in the fiscal year 1953.
P rice, wage, and rent controls.— As military production increases, in
flationary pressures also increase. This is so because military produc
tion adds to private incomes while decreasing the supply of goods
which consumers can buy.
Increased taxes, coupled with price, wage, rent, and credit controls,
together with voluntary restraints by consumers, business, and labor,
have prevented a sharp rise in prices during the past year. The
increase in inflationary pressures expected during the coming fiscal
year, however, will require not only higher taxes, increased restraints
on credit, and voluntary saving to absorb excess purchasing power,
but also more effective direct controls. If the price-control program
is to be both effective and fair, the staff of the Office of Price Stabiliza
tion must be strengthened. The agency has now reached a crucial
stage in the development of its price-control program, the establish
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
ment of regulations specifically designed for individual commodities,
industries, and geographical areas— including definite dollars-andcents ceilings wherever possible. The administration of these regu
lations during the period of increasing pressure on prices requires
a larger staff able to handle complaints and applications for price
adjustments promptly, and to assist businessmen in complying with
the regulations.
The Wage Stabilization Board and Salary Stabilization Board
have established their major policy regulations. Both Boards must
expand their present staffs to enforce these regulations and to handle
the increasing backlog of cases. Ineffective enforcement would give
violators an unfair advantage in recruiting employees, and thus hurt
both the defense effort and economic stabilization.
The influx of military personnel and defense workers into key
defense areas has caused a sharp increase in the demand for rental
housing. To meet the danger of excessive rent increases, the Director
of Defense Mobilization and the Secretary of Defense have already
authorized the imposition of rent controls in about 100 areas. In
each case, special aids— discussed under Housing and Community
Development— are also being provided to enc6urage rapid expansion
in the supply of rental housing. The Office of Rent Stabilization is
now administering rent controls in these and other areas covering
about 6.8 million rental units. It is estimated that by the end of the
fiscal year 1953, tenants in 10 million rental units will be protected
by Federal rent control.
In the fiscal year 1953, under the proposed extension of the Defense
Production Act, the Economic Stabilization Agency will require new
obligational authority of 150 million dollars for administration of
price, wage, and rent controls. Total expenditures are estimated at
149 million dollars, 37 million dollars more than estimated for the
fiscal year 1952. This additional amount will be required largely to
keep the agency— particularly the Office of Price Stabilization— at the
level of operations which it should reach by the end of this fiscal year.
Business loans and guarantees.— At the same time that we are mak
ing certain that credit is not a bottleneck in the defense effort, we are
curtailing nondefense loans. The Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion is making only those loans which assist military or essential
civilian production. New commitments— including loans recom
mended by the Small Defense Plants Administration— are estimated
at 166 million dollars in the fiscal year 1952 and 260 million dollars
in 1953, compared to 285 million dollars in 1951. Increased collec
tions on outstanding loans are a major reason for the anticipated de
cline in net expenditures.

TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION
Efficient transportation and communication services are critical
factors in an economy mobilizing for defense. Current economic
activity has already created traffic loads which in total exceed any
peacetime peak levels. Further traffic increases are in prospect as
defense production continues to expand.

The Federal Government is assisting the transportation and com
munication industries to adjust their operations to these expanding
needs. In addition, the Government has temporarily undertaken new
activities to meet abnormal requirements arising out of the defense
emergency. Among these are the port protection activities of the
Coast Guard, the direct operation of merchant vessels by the National
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Shipping Authority, and the transportation controls of the Defense
Transport Administration and other agencies.
Net expenditures for transportation and communication will be
reduced from 2.2 billion dollars in the present fiscal year to 1.6 billion
dollars in 1953, assuming enactment of the further increases in postal
rates which I am recommending.
Merchant marine.— The primary objective of our merchant marine
policy is to assure an active nucleus of trained maritime labor and
management, which can serve as the foundation for the expansion
of shipping operations in the event of full mobilization. To achieve
this objective, the Government provides operating and construction
subsidies for shipping services on essential trade routes. Abnormal
requirements arising from the present emergency are being met
through temporary new programs rather than by adding to our
permanent subsidy legislation.
One such emergency program is the construction of modern cargo
ships, capable of operating at high speeds for greater safety from
possible submarine attack. The Maritime Administration in the
Department of Commerce is now building 35 such vessels and may
have to undertake additional construction in future years. Expendi
tures for this new program, which were less than 1 million dollars in
the fiscal year 1951, will increase to an estimated 134 million dollars
in 1952 and 144 million dollars in 1953.
The present emergency has also made it necessary for the Govern
ment to undertake direct operation of merchant vessels in order to
supplement privately owned shipping capacity. The National
Shipping Authority, within the Maritime Administration, is operat
ing about 470 vessels reactivated from the reserve of war-built ships.
This represents nearly one-fourth of our active merchant fleet. Through
this program, the Government has relieved a world-wide shortage of
dry cargo vessels and has helped to stabilize cargo rates at a reason
able level. The National Shipping Authority is now handling much
of the abnormal traffic resulting from the Korean conflict, coal ship
ments to Europe, grain shipments to India, and other emergency
needs. Revenues derived from these operations are expected to
exceed expenditures by 99 million dollars in 1953. These net receipts
into the Authority’s revolving fund will account for most of the
decline in over-all maritime expenditures between 1952 and 1953.
The long-term development of a healthy, privately owned merchant
marine is dependent upon the sound administration of the direct sub
sidy programs authorized by the Merchant Marine Act of 1936. The
Federal Maritime Board now has under review the subsidy determina
tions for postwar years and is developing improved procedures for
M 31
m 32
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
determining such subsidy rates in the future. As these determinations
are brought up to date, operating subsidy expenditures will reflect
substantial retroactive payments for past years, as well as a more
complete coverage of current obligations. Expenditures for this pro
gram are estimated at 60 million dollars for the fiscal year 1952 and
75 million dollars for 1953.
In addition to the direct subsidies for vessel operation and construc
tion, the Merchant Marine Act provides the shipping industry with
substantial indirect aid in the form of special tax concessions. While
I strongly favor all assistance necessary to maintain an adequate
merchant marine, I again recommend to the Congress the immediate
reduction of present unwarranted tax benefits for the shipping industry
as an initial step toward the elimination of this hidden form of
subsidy.
Whenever the Congress finds that public policy requires Govern
ment assistance in any field, it should provide that assistance directly
through appropriations and not indirectly through preferential tax
measures. Such tax provisions generally fail to distribute the assist
ance where it is most needed.and where it will produce the best results.
Moreover, they provide concealed benefits which are exempt from
the annual scrutiny the Congress normally gives appropriations. Be
cause they are concealed, these benefits are difficult to reduce or
to eliminate when the need for them no longer exists.
For more than a quarter of a century, the Government has operated
the Inland Waterways Corporation, primarily to promote the develop
ment of common carrier barge service on the Mississippi and Warrior
Rivers and their tributaries. In establishing the Corporation, the
Congress intended that it be sold to private operators after it had
demonstrated the economic feasibility of full-scale common carrier
operations. That possibility has never been demonstrated with suffi
cient certainty to encourage any substantial offer for these properties.
The equipment has deteriorated seriously and will require rehabilita
tion if the Government is to continue these services. I recommend
that the Congress consider promptly whether to relax the statutory
conditions which now limit sale of the Corporation or whether to ap
propriate sufficient funds to permit the line to be rehabilitated.
Navigation aids and facilities.— The Coast Guard, which has
important peacetime responsibilities for promoting marine safety
and enforcing our maritime laws, must also be ready to provide
direct assistance to the Navy in the event of war. To increase its
state of readiness for any future emergency, the Coast Guard is
increasing the crew complement of its vessels and of its shore sta
tions outside the continental limits. It is also expanding its reserve
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
training program. These emergency measures, together with its
new program for protecting the Nation’s ports against sabotage,
will increase expenditures from 162 million dollars in the fiscal year
1951 to an estimated 230 million dollars in 1952 and 239 million
dollars in 1953.
River and harbor improvements by the Corps of Engineers will be
held to a low level in 1953, in keeping with the over-all policy of
restricting public works activity during the present emergency. Only
one new navigation project is being recommended, and construction
of existing projects will be curtailed. River and harbor navigation
expenditures will decline from an estimated 118 million dollars in
the fiscal year 1952 to 100 million dollars in 1953.
On July 1, 1951, the Panama Canal Company was established to
permit integrated operation of the Canal and its supplementary com
mercial activities on a more businesslike basis. The Company is
now reviewing the level of its commercial charges. Apart from
necessary capital outlays, its operations will be placed on a selfsustaining basis in the fiscal year 1953.
Aviation.— Federal promotion of civil aviation has contributed to
the spectacular growth of air transportation since the end of World
War II. During the past six years, aircraft capacity operated by
scheduled and nonscheduled airlines has expanded tenfold. This
increased capacity, together with its supporting ground facilities,
represents an important mobilization reserve— as demonstrated by
the present participation of civil carriers in carrying military per
sonnel and supplies to Korea.
The Civil Aeronautics Administration in the Department of Com
merce operates navigation and landing aids, enforces safety regula
tions, provides financial assistance for local airport construction, and
conducts various other programs aimed at increased safety and effi
ciency of aviation operations. Many of these facilities and services
are essential for military as well as civil aircraft and have been
developed with full attention to the needs of both groups.
The present emergency,, which has substantially increased air
traffic, has correspondingly increased the normal workload for avia
tion programs. It has also required the inauguration of new activi
ties such as the identification and control of air traffic for purposes
of air defense. Despite these increased responsibilities, expenditures
for the fiscal year 1953 will be held below the level of 1952. This
results largely from the limitation of airport grants and airway
modernization to those projects which are most essential in this
emergency period.
m 33
m 34
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
In addition to basic facilities and services, the Federal Government
also provides financial aid to the airlines for their commercial develop
ment. These subsidies, which are now merged with compensation for
carrying mail, should be provided separately so that the Congress
and the public may have a full opportunity to evaluate them. The
Civil Aeronautics Board recently completed a study estimating the
amount of subsidy contained in air-mail payments to domestic carriers
and now has under way a similar study for international lines.
Although these studies represent a significant step in the right
direction, the full benefits of subsidy separation will be obtained only
when the Board is able to make direct subsidy payments from funds
appropriated for that specific purpose. I therefore recommend again
that airline subsidies be completely separated from payments for carry
ing the mail. Any such separation should apply uniform standards
to all carriers, international as well as domestic.
For the fiscal year 1951, the Civil Aeronautics Board has estimated
that the subsidies to domestic airlines alone amounted to nearly 35
million dollars, or 56 percent of the total mail payments received by
those lines. In view of the increased profitability of airline operations,
the Board is taking immediate steps to reduce or eliminate subsidies
wherever possible. The airline industry as a whole has now reached
a stage of development where it needs less Government support than
in former years, and this subsidy should be curtailed. As an impor
tant further step in the direction of financial independence, the
industry should begin in the near future to bear its fair share of the
cost of federally provided facilities through a system of airway user
charges.
Highways.— The Nation’s highways require major improvement if
they are to handle adequately the steadily increasing levels of motor
vehicle traffic. Under the Federal-aid highway program, the Bureau
of Public Roads in the Department of Commerce provides grants-inaid to assist State and local governments in the financing of needed
highway construction. Partly as a result of the steel shortage, this
program will remain below the authorized annual level of 500 million
dollars, with expenditures estimated at 412 million dollars in the fiscal
year 1952 and 400 million dollars in 1953. Within this program,
special emphasis is being placed on the Interstate Highway System—
a limited network of roads most essential to both civilian and defense
highway traffic.
Federal-aid highway authorizations under existing legislation have
been fully apportioned to the States, and this legislation should be
extended in the present session of the Congress for an additional two-
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
year period. Although a need clearly exists for a high level of road
improvement, State and local governments must continue to assume
the primary responsibility for financing such construction. Under
present circumstances, the Federal Government should concentrate
its highway aid on those projects of national interest which are most
urgently needed for defense and essential civilian transportation.
A new authorization of 400 million dollars annually— 100 million
dollars below the present authorization— should enable the Govern
ment to discharge this responsibility.
Nearly 25 million dollars will be spent in the fiscal year 1953 for
direct Federal construction of main highways through the national
forests. I recommend that this program be extended for an addi
tional two years at an annual level of 17.5 million dollars, or 2.5 million
dollars below the current authorization.
In addition to its continuing highway programs, the Bureau of
Public Roads now has responsibility for constructing access roads to
military installations, defense plants, and sources of strategic mate
rials. The authorization for this program was recently increased to
45 million dollars, and expenditures are estimated at 8 million dollars
in the fiscal year 1952 and 27 million dollars in 1953. Only roads of
special defense urgency, which are not required for normal civilian
traffic, will be constructed under this authorization.
Postal service.— I am seriously concerned about the excessive
levels to which the postal deficit has risen in postwar years. For
the fiscal years 1946 through 1952, the cumulative postal deficit
will exceed 3 billion dollars. This huge loss reflects the failure of
postal rates to keep pace with the substantial postwar increases in
salaries, transportation charges, and other operating costs. Postal
rates were raised during the first session of the present Congress, and
most of the new rates will take effect by the beginning of the fiscal
year 1953. However, these increases— insufficient even in relation to
the costs existing at the time of their enactment— were more than
offset by salary increases which were concurrently enacted. They
have since been made even more inadequate by railroad rate increases
recently authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Postmaster General is continuing his program of mechanizing
operations and is taking other steps to improve the efficiency of the
postal service. The Department is modernizing its motor vehicle
service. It has instituted an improved money-order system, revised
its accounting procedures, and made other improvements in the man
agement of its affairs. The average output of postal employees per
man-hour has increased by more than 10 percent since 1945. To
950000—52------iv
m 35
m 36
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
further improve efficiency, I again recommend early enactment,
with certain amendments, of the Post Office Department reorganiza
tion bill. This legislation would permit appointment of postmasters
by the Postmaster General under the classified civil service and
would otherwise strengthen the administration of the postal opera
tion. However, the maximum potential improvements in efficiency
cannot in themselves result in any major reduction of the postal
deficit. The only effective means of reducing the deficit to a reason
able level is through a substantial increase in postal rates.
On the basis of postal rates now enacted, the postal deficit for the
fiscal year 1953 would be nearly 670 million dollars. With the
exception of first-class mail, all postal services will be operated at a
loss in 1953. According to preliminary estimates of the Post Office
Department, the loss on second-class mail alone will amount to
roughly 250 million dollars. The newspapers and magazines which use
this class of mail now benefit from rates which cover only a small
fraction of cost, thus receiving a large and unjustified subsidy.
Another major subsidy goes to those who distribute advertising cir
culars and other material through third-class mail, on which the loss
in 1953 is estimated at about 150 million dollars. Parcel post and
foreign mail will sustain losses estimated at approximately 125 million
dollars and 75 million dollars, respectively.
In the interest of sound fiscal and postal policy, the heavy losses
experienced on these various classes of mail should be immediately
reduced and eventually eliminated. The postal deficit as a whole
should be reduced to a level representing the cost of Government mail,
other services to Federal agencies, and similar items which are properly
chargeable to general tax revenues. To achieve this objective, addi
tional revenue of about 500 million dollars annually must be raised
through increased postal rates. I recommend that a major part of this
increase be authorized during the present session of the Congress and
that the balance be provided one year later so as to permit a reason
able transition to the new rates. Specifically, I recommend immediate
rate increases adequate to yield 300 million dollars on an annual basis.
Part of this increase can be effected by administrative action of the
Postmaster General and will not require action by the Congress.
This Budget assumes that the new rates will become effective for only
part of the fiscal year 1953 and that additional revenue actually
received in that year will amount to 225 million dollars. The Post
master General will shortly present specific rate proposals designed to
carry out this recommendation, and I most strongly urge prompt and
favorable action by the Congress.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
strengthen our Nation, we must improve our use and conservation of
existing resources and increase our efforts to find and develop new ones.
M y 1953 Budget recommendations represent a balanced approach
to both the national emergency needs and the long-term objectives.
They continue our policy of postponing many desirable long-range
projects in order to place greater emphasis on meeting current defense
requirements. But they provide for those long-range developments
which cannot be postponed without serious harm to our economy.
Expenditures for the development of natural resources in the fiscal
year 1953 are estimated at 3.2 billion dollars, compared to 3.1 billion
dollars in the current fiscal year. More than half of the 1952 and 1953
expenditures, and most of the billion-dollar increase in expenditures
since 1951, will be for our expanding atomic energy program. Expend
itures for flood control and irrigation and for multiple-purpose river
basin development, including hydroelectric energy, account for most
of the remainder of the total.
Atomic energy.— Although the past year has brought considerable
progress in the industrial and other peacetime applications of atomic
energy— including more widespread participation by private industry—
the principal emphasis of this program continues of necessity to be
placed on the national security. The major program initiated in
October 1950 for expanding the productive capacity of our atomic
energy plants is well under way, and major production facilities now
under construction will begin to contribute to output in the fiscal year
1953. This program is under constant study in order to make the
adjustments necessary to continue our leadership in this field.
Funds recommended for the Atomic Energy Commission include
increased amounts for the procurement of uranium ores and concen
trates, the production of fissionable materials and atomic weapons,
and the development of improved and more effective weapons. The
several tests of atomic weapons and devices carried out during the
past 12 months demonstrate the effectiveness of recent research.
Increases are also provided for an expanded effort to develop improved
nuclear reactors for the production of fissionable material as well as
reactors for the propulsion of submarines and aircraft. The develop
ment of propulsion reactors complements other studies under way in
contributing to the ultimate goal of economical production of elec
tricity for civilian use. The Commission will also continue its vigorous
programs in basic and applied research in the physical sciences and in
biology and medicine.
Land and water resources.— Pre-Korea plans for development of our
land and water resources have been modified to reflect the urgent needs
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
of the defense emergency. The few new starts recommended since
the attack on Korea have been restricted to urgently needed projects,
principally those providing power benefits.
Many river basin development projects for flood control, navigation,
or irrigation provide hydroelectric power which is not only a valuable
asset to the civilian economy but is of utmost importance to defense
production. This Budget contains funds to make it possible for
power features of these multiple-purpose projects to go forward
according to schedule. Funds provided for other projects already
under construction will bring them to completion at an orderly and
economical construction rate, or to a point where they can be stopped
without losing benefits already gained or impairing the value of invest
ments already made.
Many desirable projects have been retarded or suspended since the
beginning of the Korean emergency. For example, the Budget which
I transmitted to you two years ago included funds for 122 general
flood-control projects. After the attack on Korea, the number was
reduced to 102. The 1953 Budget recommends funds for 64 general
flood-control projects, 60 of which were initiated in previous years.
Some of the projects for which funds were recommended two years
ago have been completed, but many of them have been suspended.
Seventeen of the 64 projects in this Budget will be completed or
virtually completed with the funds recommended for 1953. Thus
the scope of this program has been reduced substantially since the
Korean emergency. This is also true of the reclamation program.
As a result of these actions, combined expenditures for flood control,
irrigation, and multiple-purpose projects now under construction by
the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation will be held
to about the fiscal year 1952 level, despite the fact that expenditures
on some large projects with power features will increase substantially.
Only a limited number of new starts for these programs are recom
mended in this Budget. They are restricted to urgently needed
power projects in critical shortage areas, flood-control projects in the
Kansas-Missouri area, and emergency rehabilitation work which
cannot be deferred.
The Kansas-Missouri area during the past summer suffered one of
the worst flood disasters in the history of our country. This Budget
includes 21 million dollars for starting construction on Tuttle Creek
and Glen Elder Dams, both in Kansas, and for flood protection work
at Topeka, Kansas, and Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Furthermore,
by Executive order I have established a Missouri Basin Survey Com
mission to review the many different kinds of problems that exist in
the large area of the basin and to advise the country as to the best
m 39
m 40
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
way to proceed to achieve an orderly, businesslike development of the
resources of the basin resulting in the greatest benefits for all the
people of the basin and the Nation.
The accelerating pace of defense production, coupled with the
anticipated expansion in civilian needs, is placing a growing demand
on our power-producing facilities. Of the 735 million dollars of
expenditures for projects under way by the Corps of Engineers and
the Bureau of Reclamation in 1953, about 390 million dollars— or
over 50 percent—will be spent on multiple-purpose projects providing
power benefits. In order to further expand our power potential, four
new river development projects are recommended for initiation in
fiscal year 1953. These are the St. Lawrence project, Hells Canyon
power project and Ice Harbor Lock and Dam on the Snake River,
and the Hartwell Reservoir in South. Carolina.
If there has ever been a water resource project with great strategic
benefits, it is the St. Lawrence development. The large hydro
electric power potential alone offers ample justification for under
taking this project without further delay. But the emerging iron
ore problem makes it a strategic necessity. Beyond one end of the
waterway are the large steel-producing centers and the declining
high-grade iron ore deposits of the United States. Beyond the other
end are the large new discoveries of high-grade ore in Canada. In
view of the importance of this project, the Government of Canada
has recently announced that it is prepared to proceed independently
with its construction, rather than wait indefinitely for United States
participation. I have already indicated my intention to support such
action by Canada, if that is the only way to obtain immediate con
struction of this project. However, if Canada built the waterway,
she would, of course, control its operation. I feel strongly that our
Nation’s interest in the development of this resource on the basis
which I have recommended is so vital that we should join as a full
partner in its construction and operation.
The Ice Harbor and Hartwell projects are authorized, but the
St. Lawrence development and Hells Canyon power project require
authorization by the Congress. I again urge the Congress to author
ize these two projects without delay. The 37 million dollars recom
mended for the four projects would permit the starting of construction
on these important developments.
I also recommend 63 million dollars to begin installation of 11
additional steam-electric and hydroelectric generation units in the
power system of the Tennessee Valley Authority. The additions are
needed not only to meet the steady growth in the power needs of the
area but also for the large increase in the requirements for the atomic
energy facilities in this area.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
These new projects and units will provide ultimate capacity of 3.5
million kilowatts. This capacity, together with the 8.3 million kilo
watts presently installed in Federal projects and the 10.3 million
kilowatts to be installed ultimately in projects under way, will make a
substantial addition to our power supply.
Funds recommended for the fiscal year 1953 for the Bonneville,
Southwestern, and Southeastern Power Administrations, Bureau of
Reclamation, and Tennessee Valley Authority will provide properly
scheduled facilities to transmit available power to load centers.
I am also including funds in this Budget to continue planning the
urgently needed redevelopment of Niagara power facilities made pos
sible by the treaty with Canada. In addition, I recommend the en
actment of legislation to permit construction of facilities that would
enable us to realize the full power potential of the Niagara site.
In order to make it possible to meet defense power requirements
in the Pacific Northwest, I also recommend legislation to authorize
the construction, operation and maintenance of fuel-fired electricgenerating plants. Such plants would provide an early increase in
capacity and would make more effective existing hydroelectric
facilities.
Because of the large increases in costs that have been experienced
on some projects I have asked the Director of the Bureau of the
Budget to prepare for the consideration of the Congress, appropriation
language which would require further congressional approval before
work could go forward where the total cost of the authorized improve
ment has increased by more than 10 percent above the last estimate
approved by the Congress, after allowance for changes in construction
cost levels. This will permit a reappraisal to be made to determine
whether we would be justified in proceeding with the work.
The Water Resources Policy Commission has submitted to me a
comprehensive report and recommendations on Federal responsibility
for and participation in the development, utilization, and conservation
of our water resources and related land-use activities. The recom
mendations of the Commission have been under intensive study
during the past year by representatives of the Executive Office and
interested agencies. The Commission’s report and this study indicate
the need for improved means for comprehensive planning and co
ordination in the development of these resources, including wider
State and local participation, as well as for broadening the scope of
some programs. Legislative recommendations for better development
of the Nation’s water resources and related land-use activities are
now being prepared.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Mineral resources.— To meet our immediate defense objectives,
programs in the field of mineral resources are aimed at assuring this
Nation and the free world adequate supplies of metals, minerals, and
fuels at reasonable prices. To this end, the Defense Materials Procure
ment Agency has been established with central responsibility for pro
curement and development operations for the current mobilization
effort.
The Bureau of Mines and the Geological Survey appraise known
sources and make surveys for new sources of critically needed mate
rials— such as uranium, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, copper, and lead—
and conduct research aimed at improving mining practices and meth
ods of extracting minerals, recovery of secondary metals, and increased
efficiency in the use of substitutes. Research and operation of pilot
and demonstration plants for production of synthetic liquid fuels from
oil shale and coal will be continued.
National forests and public lands.— Programs of the Forest Service
and the Bureau of Land Management provide for the management,
development, and increasing use of the valuable timber, range, and
mineral resources of our national forests and public lands.
The small increases over fiscal year 1952 will permit some expansion
in timber sales activities, thus adding to the supply of forest products
which are needed for defense activities.
Developmental programs jor the Indians.— Most of our Indian citizens
live on and make their living from the 56 million acres of land held
in trust for them by the United States. Much of this land is in need
of further development work, but even after development the lands
will support, at an adequate American standard of living, only about
half of the Indian population.
The goal of Federal Indian policy is to equip the Indians to take
their place as independent, self-supporting citizens of this Nation.
To do this job properly will require a substantial investment of Federal
funds and time enough to complete the task on an orderly basis. For
the fiscal year 1953 I am recommending new obligational authority of
57 million dollars for Indian land resources. This will provide for
acceleration of soil-conservation work and further development of
urgently needed water supplies and timber and range resources, as well
as additional roads and other construction needed to carry out the
various developmental programs for the Indians.
To insure effective use of their lands, the Indians are in need of
credit facilities. I recommend legislation to augment the loan fund
previously authorized in an amount sufficient to meet demands for
credit over the next 5 or 10 years.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
To meet increased military and civilian requirements, farm produc
tion was expanded in the 1951 crop year and should continue to in
crease in 1952.
Despite floods and droughts, farmers achieved a total production in
1951 as high as that in any previous year. In 1952, with present
production goals, farmers will be aiming at a new record, 6 percent
above 1951 and 50 percent above the 1935-39 average. These goals
represent the maximum practicable increase in the production of corn
and other feed grains which are necessary for meeting the increasing
demand for meat, poultry, and dairy products. Cotton production
will be continued at a high level, and the goal for wheat is materially
above the 1951 production when 16 million acres of winter wheat were
ruined by unfavorable weather.
Recommendations for agricultural programs in this Budget recog
nize the desirability of expanding farm production and maintaining
the capacity of the Nation’s farms to produce foods and fibers in
abundance.

MEvSSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Total expenditures for agriculture and agricultural resources are
estimated at 1.5 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1953. This compares
with 2.8 billion dollars in 1950, 650 million dollars in 1951, and an
estimated 1.4 billion dollars in 1952. Most of the fluctuation in
expenditures is in the agricultural price support program.
Stabilization of farm prices and farm income.— Programs designed
largely to aid in supporting farm prices and farm income include the
agricultural price support program, the permanent appropriation for
removal of surplus agricultural commodities, the International Wheat
Agreement, and payments to farmers under the Sugar Act. These
programs are all required under basic legislation. Expenditures de
pend more on crop conditions and world economic conditions than
on current Budget authorizations.
The price support program is being used to encourage farm pro
duction by keeping support prices on cotton, corn, wheat, soybeans,
milk, wool, and certain other commodities at maximum levels of 90
percent of parity. This level of support should help to give farmers
the economic incentive necessary to maintain high production. In
the crop year 1952, with present production goals, we should be able
to reverse the downward trend in carry-over stocks of cotton, wheat,
and corn and begin to build up reserves to meet possible crop short
ages in future years. If production is not reduced by poor growing
conditions, some of the increased carry-over— principally cotton and
wheat— will come into Commodity Credit Corporation inventories,
and its acquisition will result in a net Budget expenditure in the fiscal
year 1953. The Corporation had large net receipts in 1951, and ex
penditures are estimated to be lower in 1952 than in 1953 because of
the liquidation of inventories acquired in 1949 and 1950.
The permanent appropriation for removal of surplus agricultural
commodities was established in 1935 at a time when the Nation was
in the midst of a depression and farmers were faced with burdensome
surpluses. Under present economic conditions only a fraction of the
funds available will be needed. In the fiscal year 1953 the funds
available will include the carry-over of 176 million dollars from prior
years plus 181 million dollars of new authorization. Expenditures
under this program, however, are estimated to be 50 million dollars
in 1953.
Expenditures under the International Wheat Agreement have risen
to a higher level than was anticipated at the time the agreement was
negotiated. Although we expected a downward trend in world wheat
prices after World War II, the Korean crisis and the increased demand
for wheat have caused increased prices since 1950. The Agreement,
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
which expires July 31, 1953, guarantees the export each year of a
certain quantity of wheat at the maximum price of $1.80 per bushel.
The loss arising from the difference between this export price and the
higher domestic price of wheat is met initially from Commodity Credit
Corporation funds, with reimbursement later from appropriated funds.
The cost of the wheat agreement has risen from 76 million dollars in
the fiscal year 1950 to 180 million dollars in 1951 and is estimated to
increase somewhat in 1952 and 1953.
Financing farm ownership and operation.— All credit agencies of the
Department of Agriculture are maintaining a careful review of loan
policies to emphasize credit needed for defense requirements and to
keep them consistent with the voluntary credit restraints followed by
private lenders.
Expenditures of the Farm Credit Administration are estimated to
decline from 185 million dollars in the fiscal year 1951 to 51 million
dollars in the current fiscal year and 35 million dollars in 1953.
The loan programs of the Farmers’ Home Administration aid lowincome farm families unable to obtain credit from other sources to
expand production and to achieve efficient farming units. These,
as well as many other programs of the Department of Agriculture,
encourage the economic development of family-size farms and the
better use of underemployed farm resources.
The unusually large net expenditure for disaster loans in 1952
represents mainly loans made in the Kansas-Missouri flood area. Net
expenditures for these loans are expected to decline in 1953.
Financing rural electrification and rural telephones.— The continuing
shortage of critical materials has made it necessary to reduce alloca
tions of copper and aluminum for rural electrification. The decline
in Rural Electrification Administration expenditures in the fiscal
years 1952 and 1953 reflects the shortage of materials. In view of
the estimated carry-over into the fiscal year 1953 of 118 million
dollars of unused loan authorizations, I recommend that the new loan
authorization for the fiscal year 1953 be reduced to 75 million dollars.
This will permit continuance of new approved electrification and
telephone loans at the 1952 level of 190 million dollars, materially
less than the 260 million dollars of loans approved in 1951. In this
way we can avoid building up excessive commitments for loan ex
penditures one, two, or three years in the future when we cannot now
forecast the availability of scarce materials.
Following the pattern established by the Congress, I also recom
mend a contingency authorization of 50 million dollars for electrifi
m 45
m 46
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
cation loans to be used if the Secretary of Agriculture certifies that
such funds are necessary to provide a fair distribution among the
States under the allocation formula, but still keeping within the
over-all level of loans approved in the fiscal year 1952.
Conservation.— An increase in funds for the Soil Conservation
Service in the fiscal year 1953 is required largely because of the
increasing number of new soil-conservation districts established by
farmers and the increased responsibilities for supervising permanent
practices financed from the conservation payments program. With
the growing demands on our soil resources, we cannot afford to relax
our efforts in this direction. I also recommend that the advance
authorization for the agricultural conservation payment program in
the crop year 1953 be continued at 256.5 million dollars, the level
authorized by the Congress for the 1952 crop year.
Research and other agricultural services.— The ability of the Nation’s
farmers to meet the increasing demands for food and fiber products
rests on the continued improvement of the technology of agriculture.
M y recommendations for research and other agricultural services,
which hold these programs close to the fiscal year 1952 level, represent
a desirable balance between the immediate needs of the security
effort and the need to strengthen our economy for the years ahead.
LABOR
In order to help meet the manpower needs of defense production
and essential civilian activities without jeopardizing existing labor
standards, which are essential to. sustained high productivity, we
are shifting the emphasis of Federal labor programs.
More effort is going into assisting employers in recruiting and
training. Mediators are giving special attention to settling disputes
in defense industries. Safety training programs are concentrating on
the prevention of accidents in hazardous defense work. Statistics on
prices, wages, and employment are being collected more promptly and
in more detail so that Government and industry can have a better
basis for decisions on contract placement and plant location, and on
price and wage stabilization programs.
In the fiscal year 1953 expenditures for all activities included under
labor will amount to 246 million dollars, 6 million dollars more than
in the current year. The increases are in the placement and defense
production activities of the Department of Labor and in operations of
the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service and the National
Labor Relations Board. Three-fourths of the total expenditures for

Placement and unemployment compensation administration.— Em
ployment service and unemployment insurance administration—
which is almost all under State control but is entirely financed by the
Federal Government— will reflect the continuing impact of defense
production. More placements and fewer claims for unemployment
benefits are expected on a national basis as total employment rises.
Generally, employment conditions are very good. However, in some
communities, such as Detroit, serious local increases in unemployment
have developed. Efforts are being made to improve these local
situations through the placement of defense work in these areas.
The employment services offer the best means for the orderly
recruiting of workers for defense plants. As defense production con
tinues to expand, increasing manpower stringencies will place an even
greater responsibility on the employment services. Special efforts are
being made to reduce unnecessary migration and avoidable strains on
housing and community facilities by recruiting all local workers,
including women, older workers, members of minority groups, and the
handicapped, before arranging for out-of-State recruitment. The
public employment offices have the assistance of labor-management
committees in helping communities with labor shortages to solve their
manpower problems. These State activities will be administered by
m 48
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
an estimated 40,800 employees— 1,200 fewer than this year. How
ever, expenditures will increase because of salary increases for State
employees.
Shifts to defense employment have contributed to a serious farmlabor shortage. To help meet this shortage, a new program to recruit
farm laborers from Mexico for work in the United States was started
last fall under authority of legislation passed by the Congress and in
accordance with a temporary agreement with the Mexican Govern
ment, which expires February 11. The United States has been
operating five recruiting stations in the interior of Mexico and five
reception centers in this country. Under this program, about 150,000
workers have been brought into this country for work on farms when
need has been demonstrated. Their employment has been under
contracts which protect their rights and assure that American labor
standards will not be undermined.
The United States and Mexico have agreed that both countries
must take appropriate actions to prevent the trafficking in and em
ployment of aliens who cross the border from Mexico illegally if we
are to preserve the labor standards of American workers and of legal
Mexican entrants. On our part, this requires the tightening of our
immigration law with respect to illegal entrants and increased appro
priations to the Immigration and Naturalization Service for more
inspectors. I strongly urge prompt and favorable consideration of
legislation for this purpose. A supplemental appropriation for opera
tion of the recruiting and reception centers will be necessary if the
agreement is renegotiated.
Defense, production activities.— While we shall continue to rely on
voluntary methods rather than Government controls in the field of
manpower, the Federal Government must provide the assistance
which is essential to help employers and communities in solving their
labor-supply problems. Defense Production Act funds finance the
Labor Department staff which directs the manpower work in the
several Bureaus of the Department, and also pay for four special
programs— helping employers plan training for new workers, assisting
State safety inspectors to conduct accident-prevention campaigns in
hazardous defense industries, recruiting workers from other States for
jobs in areas with labor shortages, and providing employment infor
mation on additional labor market areas to enable Government
agencies to consider labor-supply factors as they make procurement
and materials allocation decisions.
Labor standards.— Sound labor standards must be maintained not
only because of the human rights involved but also because they
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
m 49
contribute directly to the high productivity essential in a defense
emergency. For this reason, the Secretary of Labor has urged that
such standards as those on hours of work and employment of women
and young people be held except where they need to be temporarily
relaxed to meet urgent production problems.
The recent coal mine explosion in West Frankfort, Illinois, is a
tragic demonstration of the need for new legislation to give Federal
safety inspectors power to enforce their recommendations. Under
existing law, the Bureau of Mines has only the power of persuasion.
With the establishment of the Committee on Government Contract
Compliance, the Executive Branch has acted, within the limits of its
present powers, to see that discrimination because of race, sex, or
color does not prevent workers from getting jobs which use their
highest skills. Further progress toward this objective will require
action by the Congress. I therefore renew my recommendation for
legislation to establish a Fair Employment Practice Commission.
Some of the most serious labor standards problems arise from
movement of workers from place to place to meet the manpower needs
of agriculture. The Commission on Migratory Labor which I ap
pointed some time ago has recently recommended a series of actions
by Federal, State, and local governments to overcome economic
exploitation, poor housing and education, and other injustices en
countered by migrants and their families.
I intend to take administrative action to carry out many of the
recommendations which concern the Federal Government. For ex
ample, the Department of Labor will increase its efforts to enforce
the anti-child-labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
From time to time necessary legislation will be requested to carry out
other recommendations. One of the first laws needed is to regulate
private employment agencies operating across State lines. The
Commission on Migratory Labor found that unscrupulous agencies
and labor contractors disrupt the labor supply and exploit workers
by charging excessive fees, referring workers to nonexistent jobs, and
misrepresenting the nature of the work.
Labor information and statistics.— The Consumers Price Index,
which is an important factor in collective bargaining contracts for
several million workers and in wage stabilization for all workers, has
been largely based on data concerning spending habits of 1934-36.
Tremendous changes in the structure of the economy have taken place
since then. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is preparing
an up-to-date index, based on a study of the spending habits in 1950
of people in large and small cities. The improved index will be com
«
m 50
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
piled on a trial basis for a number of months and will be first published
for January 1953.
Unemployment trust fund.— Benefits for unemployment compensa
tion are financed by special payroll taxes on employers which are
deposited in the unemployment trust fund. Neither the receipts nor
the expenditures are included in the Budget totals. In the fiscal
years 1952 and 1953, the tax receipts are expected to be lower than
in 1951, because firms which have had low unemployment will pay
lower taxes. Despite increases in unemployment in some areas, total
unemployment, and expenditures for benefits, are expected to be
somewhat lower in 1952 and 1953 than last year.
The local unemployment we are now experiencing illustrates the
continuing need for a strong system of unemployment insurance. I
hope the Congress will give consideration to a number of basic im
provements in the Federal-State system along the lines recommended
in my message to the Congress of April 6, 1950.

In the years immediately following World War II, we were begin
ning to make good progress on a comprehensive housing and com
munity development program. Federal insurance and guarantees of
private mortgage loans, together with Federal mortgage purchases,
were making it possible for millions of families to purchase better
homes on reasonable terms. With these and other aids, the con
struction of homes reached an all-time peak of 1.4 million new units
in 1950. To assist low-income families to obtain adequate housing,
the Congress had authorized the construction of 135,000 low-rent
public housing units a year for a six-year period. A broad program
had been started to assist communities in eliminating slums with the
aid of Federal loans and grants. Other activities were also well
m 51
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
under way to improve the quality or reduce the cost of housing and
to assist groups with special housing problems.
Since the attack on Korea, we have moved rapidly to adapt these
programs to meet the immediate needs of expanded military and
defense installations and to establish an adequate civil defense pro
gram. Total housing construction is being reduced to free materials
and manpower for more essential uses and to help stabilize prices
and wages in the construction industry. Under legislation enacted
during the past year, the Federal Government is helping State and
local governments to provide housing and community facilities in
defense areas and is assisting them in civil defense preparations.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Almost a third of the new homes built in the fiscal year 1953 will be
in areas serving military and defense installations. They will be
rented or sold at prices which military personnel and defense workers
can afford to pay. Necessary community facilities also will be built
in these areas. Federal aid must be given where needed, but it will
be held to a minimum. These steps are vital in helping to assure an
adequate, stable supply of manpower for new or expanding defense
plants as well as adequate civilian personnel for military installations.
Despite the importance of providing better housing for many of
our people, housing starts in the fiscal year 1953 should be held to
850,000 or even less— depending upon the availability of mate
rials— because of the requirements of the defense program. This
amount of construction, which must first supply housing in defense
areas, will provide for no more than the maintenance of present hous
ing standards in other areas. All major Federal programs for housing
and community development outside critical defense housing areas
will be held substantially below the levels authorized by basic
legislation.
In the fiscal year 1953, net expenditures for housing and community
development are estimated at 678 million dollars, compared to the 881
million dollars estimated for 1952. Expenditures for civil defense and
for defense housing and community facilities will rise sharply, but net
purchases of mortgages are expected to be almost half a billion dollars
lower than in the current year, and substantial net receipts, instead
of net expenditures, are expected in public housing programs.
Defense housing and community facilities.— Since enactment of new
legislative authority last September, the Director of Defense Mobiliza
tion has certified about 140 areas as meeting the conditions prescribed
in the statute for critical defense housing areas. Additional com
munities will be designated as the need is demonstrated. In the
certified areas, the Federal Government will make special efforts to
assure that adequate housing and community facilities are constructed
to meet defense requirements. According to present estimates,
roughly 400,000 new housing units should be built or placed under
construction to meet needs in critical defense areas during the next
18 months.
We are continuing to rely primarily on the initiative of private
builders and local communities to provide the needed housing and
facilities in these areas. A new and more liberal program of mortgage
insurance, as well as special support from the Federal mortgage pur
chase program, is available to help builders obtain the necessary
financing. In those areas where private builders are unable to provide
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
enough housing of the type needed for defense workers and military
personnel and at prices and rents they can afford to pay, the Federal
Government will construct such housing directly.
Federal loans and grants are also available to assist local com
munities in critical defense housing areas in providing facilities and
services essential to the construction of housing. Federal assistance
will be available only to the*extent that the financial resources of such
communities are inadequate to finance the facilities required.
The funds which the Congress has tbus far made available for these
programs provide only a small beginning on the work which must be
done. Available funds for the direct construction of housing are so
limited in the face of the pressing need that nearly the entire amount
must be used for temporary housing near military installations. Less
than 6,000 units can be supplied with present appropriations. These
funds will take care of only a small part of the need at military installa
tions and will permit very little direct construction of housing for
workers at defense plants. Additional funds also will be needed for
providing community facilities and services.
Accordingly, I am recommending supplemental appropriations for
the current fiscal year to make available the additional funds now
authorized for defense housing and community facilities. The grow
ing need for defense housing also makes it essential that the present
statutory authorization be increased so that the Congress can provide
additional funds as quickly as defense requirements are demonstrated.
On the basis of specific needs thus far identified, additional appropria
tions in 1953 estimated at 325 million dollars will be required. Of
this amount, 25 million dollars is needed for community facilities.
Aids to private housing.— Soon after the attack on Korea, the down
payment requirements on federally insured or guaranteed mortgages
and on other mortgages were increased and the repayment periods
shortened as a method of limiting construction without resort to
direct controls. These changes helped to slow down the rate of new
construction and credit expansion, but the action of the Congress last
fall in removing most of the authority for such controls has reversed
the trend.
During the coming months, it will be necessary to reduce the level
of housing construction further to make it consistent with the needs
of economic stabilization and the limited availability of scarce mate
rials. As one of the most essential methods of achieving this objective,
I urge the Congress to restore previous authority over down payments
and other credit terms.
In recent months the Federal National Mortgage Association has
purchased a large volume of mortgages guaranteed by the Veterans
m
53
m 54
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Administration in ©rder to provide the support authorized by law for
veterans’ housing. The activities of the Association, however, are
now increasingly directed toward providing adequate financing for
construction in critical defense housing areas. By the fiscal year
1953, over one-half of the mortgages purchased will be those financing
either military or other defense housing. The 1953 estimates assume
that, with the continued large volume of savings, the supply of private
mortgage funds will be sufficient to reduce the need for Federal support
of both defense and nondefense housing.
The mortgage insurance programs of the Federal Housing Admin
istration also have been redirected to support the defense effort.
Liberal mortgage insurance terms have been made available to builders
constructing homes in defense housing areas. On the other hand, a
sharp reduction is in process in the number of mortgages insured in
other areas consistent with the reduced construction planned for 1953.
In total, an estimated 360,000 new housing units will be constructed
with the aid of financing insured by the Federal Housing Administra
tion. In addition, nearly 150,000 existing homes will be purchased
with mortgages insured by the agency. Since the premium receipts
for such insurance usually equal or exceed the expenses and losses, this
program normally involves little or no Budget expenditures. For the
next fiscal year, it will be necessary to authorize an increase of
1 billion dollars in the total authority to insure mortgages under these
various programs, principally for insurance of defense housing mort
gages.
In addition to guarantees of private housing loans to veterans, the
Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs has limited authority to make
direct housing loans to veterans in areas where adequate private
financing is not available. This program was extended by the Con
gress until June 30, 1953, on a revolving-fund basis. Almost all of
the 150 million dollars in basic authority has now been spent or com
mitted. The estimates for 1953 assume that the sale of loans already
made will provide adequate funds to meet the future need for new
loans.
Public housing programs.— By the end of this fiscal year an esti
mated 140,000 low-rent public housing units will have been started
under the Housing Act of 1949. Despite this progress, the need for the
low-rent public housing program to help provide decent homes for lowincome families continues to be great. As part of the restrictive policy
followed on pxmdefense housing, I again recommend this year— as I
recommended last year— that 75,000 new units be started in the next
fiscal year, compared to the average of 135,000 units a year authorized
in the basic statute.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
While local authorities construct and operate public housing projects,
the Federal Government assists them by extending direct loans and
by contracting to make payments, over a period of years, high enough
to assure adequate security for long-term private financing. This
year local housing authorities will repay a substantial amount of
Federal loans with funds raised by the sale of their own obligations
to private investors. On the basis of the two offerings to date, net
receipts are estimated from this program in the fiscal year 1953.
Annual payments of contributions to help cover the difference be
tween cost of operation and rental income of the projects will, however,
increase substantially next year as many of the new units now under
way are completed and occupied.
General housing aids.— Loans to help educational institutions ease
their housing shortages have been confined exclusively to institutions
having shortages resulting directly from defense activities such as
Reserve officers’ training programs. Loan commitments in the cur
rent fiscal year have been limited to 40 million dollars, and an addi
tional 20 million dollars of the 300 million dollars authorized in the
basic statute will be made available in 1953.
The Alaska Housing Act of 1949 gives special assistance for housing
in the Territory. The increased military preparations since 1950 have
emphasized the need for housing for the supporting civilian population.
At my request, the Federal agencies responsible for housing and related
public works in Alaska are taking steps to expedite construction of
both the needed housing and the supporting community facilities. I
am recommending a supplemental appropriation to the revolving fund
for Alaskan housing, as well as appropriations for necessary public
works. Further changes in basic authority will be requested if
studies now being made reveal the need for further assistance to this
strategic area.
Urban development and redevelopment.— The long-range slum clear
ance and urban redevelopment program, designed to assist cities in
the elimination and redevelopment of their blighted areas, is now well
under way. Over 200 cities have indicated their intention to proceed
with redevelopment programs and have received assurance that Fed
eral assistance will be available for their programs. Of these cities,
more than 150 have submitted plans which have been approved for
Federal assistance.
To prevent conflict with defense requirements, present policies
provide that communities may acquire sites for redevelopment, but
may not demolish existing structures or construct new structures
m 55
m
56
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
unless these steps are specifically determined to be consistent with
defense needs. These limitations will hold the net expansion in the
coming year to the minimum rate necessary to make the program
effective. For the fiscal year 1953, for example, new loan commit
ments are not expected to exceed 100 million dollars— even though the
basic statute authorizes 250 million dollars in borrowing authority
for 1953— with expenditures estimated at 25 million dollars. The
basic statute also authorizes contracts for capital grants of 100 million
dollars a year, but no payments on such grants are now expected in
the fiscal year 1953.
Civil defense.— A strong civil defense program is an indispensable
part of our security effort. Neither our geographic position nor our
military defenses can assure absolute protection against attack. An
enemy can strike our industrial centers and inflict heavy damage in
lives and property. This threat to our civilian population and to our
productive facilities can be reduced, however, by strengthening the
civil defense program now under way. Failure to do so could leave a
fatal gap in our security structure. I am therefore recommending a
substantially increased appropriation.
These funds will finance
minimum Federal stockpiles of essential supplies and will match State
and local expenditures to prepare protective shelters in densely popu
lated areas and to assemble necessary local equipment. ^
I
Although civil defense is primarily a State and local responsibility,
the Federal Civil Defense Administration plays a key role in providing
information, leadership, coordination, and financial assistance to State
and local governments. Federal expenditures for civil defense in the
fiscal year 1953 are estimated at 339 million dollars, compared to
44 million dollars in 1952 and less than half a million dollars in 1951.
This sharp increase is necessary to overcome dangerous gaps which
now exist in the program, caused by the inadequate financial support
given it by the Congress last year.
Disaster insurance, loans, and relief.— The great floods last summer
in Kansas and Missouri made necessary Federal assistance to relieve
suffering, repair the damage, and return the stricken area to full
economic activity as quickly as possible. The emergency assistance
included loans by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and
the Department of Agriculture, and grants administered through
the Housing and Home Finance Agency. Through the cooperative
efforts of the Federal, State, and local governments and the American
Red Cross, the homeless were given shelter and the threat of epidemics
was avoided.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
While disasters of this magnitude happen rarely, we should be
better prepared for them than we are at present. Individuals and
business firms should have an opportunity to purchase financial pro
tection against this hazard. The insurance facilities now available
from private companies are extremely limited.
Accordingly, I
repeat my recommendation of last summer for the enactment of
legislation to supplement these private facilities by establishing a
Federal flood insurance system. An appropriation of 50 million
dollars is recommended to create a flood insurance fund.
As part of our preparation against the greater hazards of modern
war, I urg£ the Congress to consider legislation authorizing Federal
programs necessary to restore orderly community life, maintain
minimum incomes, and compensate individuals and business firms for
property damage arising from enemy attack. In an atomic age, the
probability of such an attack is so unpredictable and the expenditures
necessary to provide a minimum level of protection are potentially so
large that neither private nor public insurance is feasible. Never
theless, orderly advance planning is essential. At the request of the
Senate Banking and Currency Committee, the Director of the Bureau
of the Budget has submitted a draft of legislation providing minimum
authority required in advance of such attack, including authority to
set up a skeleton organization and to draft specific plans for partial
indemnities and other necessary programs. The appropriate agencies
of the Government are continuing to review and improve these
proposals.
ED UCATION AND GENERAL RESEARCH
Federal expenditures for education and general research are esti
mated at 624 million dollars in the fiscal year 1953, compared to an
estimated 238 million dollars in 1952 and 115 million dollars in 1951.
These sums do not include special-purpose education and research
activities included in other Budget categories.
The substantial increase in the fiscal year 1953 will strengthen basic
education programs and fundamental research. The added funds
are needed primarily for new legislation which I am recommending to
help all the States improve elementary and secondary education, to
help provide schools in those communities which are overburdened
because of Federal activities, and to give financial assistance to capable
young people who otherwise could not attend a college or university.
New obligational authority recommended for 1953 is 688 million
dollars, but largely because of the length of time required to complete
and pay for buildings under the school construction program the
expenditures will be 64 million dollars less than this amount.

Promotion oj education— elementary and secondary.— At present, too
many of our people are unable to make full use of their capabilities,
whether in civilian employment or military service, because their
opportunities for education and training have been limited. Schools
are overcrowded, substandard instruction is common, and teachers’
salaries continue low in many areas.
The most serious aspect of this situation is that it can so easily
become very much worse. Our school-age population is now rising
rapidly, as a result of the great increase in births which began in the
war years. The number of children entering the first grade is now
nearly 10 percent higher than it was only four years ago. Four years
from now it will have risen another 24 percent. Meanwhile, of course,
these children will be moving up through the grades, year by year,
putting new strains successively on our elementary and secondary
school systems.
I have urged the Congress for several years to enact legislation pro
viding grants to the States for operation and maintenance of their local
schools. These grants would assist the States in improving their
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
systems of elementary and secondary education by raising teachers*
salaries, providing more and better textbooks, and in many other ways.
The security program has reemphasized this need. In some States
more than one-third of the young men called by the Selective Service
System failed the educational tests for entrance into military service
during the fiscal year 1951. The States with the highest rejection rates
are precisely those low-income States which, despite heavier taxes in
relation to income, are unable to provide a satisfactory education for
their young people. Many of the men rejected for military service
because of educational deficiencies are also unable to meet our needs
for skilled workers in industry. At a time like this we cannot afford
to waste any resources, yet this pool of inadequately used human
resources is being continually enlarged because many young people
are denied the opportunity for a proper education.
This is a need that we must begin to meet at once. This Budget
includes a recommendation of 300 million dollars as the preliminary
estimate for general aid to education in the fiscal year 1953. Because
of higher costs and the greater number of school children, this amount
of aid will not fully accomplish the purposes which my earlier proposal
was designed to achieve. I hope that the Congress will enact legisla
tion containing provisions to raise equalization aid to a more adequate
level over the next decade.
In addition to this new program of general aid, the Budget includes
45 million dollars in estimated appropriations for operation and
maintenance aid to certain local school districts where the Federal
Government has a special responsibility to furnish assistance because
Federal activities have imposed special burdens.
This Budget also includes estimated appropriations of 225 million
dollars for the construction of school facilities in critical defense hous
ing areas and other places specially affected by Federal activities. Of
this amount, 150 million dollars is needed to continue the program
already authorized, and the remainder is a preliminary estimate of
needs under proposed legislation.
We are also moving forward on a detailed three-year Nation-wide
survey of our school construction needs generally, as authorized by the
Congress in 1950. In cooperation with the Office of Education, the
States are making good progress in surveying their shortages of school
facilities and their resources available to meet these shortages. The
information coming in from this survey will help us to determine what
the future role of the Federal Government should be in relation to
school construction needs.
Meanwhile, the States and localities are doing a great deal to meet
the situation. During the calendar year 1951 they broke all previous
M 59
m 60
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
construction records by building more than 40,000 new classrooms
costing 1.3 billion dollars. It is gratifying that, despite the shortage
of structural steel, we have been able to make enough available for
the first half of 1952 to continue and even increase this rate of
construction on the basis of modified designs which require less steel.
The present programs of Federal aid to critical areas for con
struction and operation of schools are based on two laws enacted in
1950. Under these laws we provide aid to local school districts for
construction and for operation of schools to meet burdens resulting
from peacetime and World War II Federal activities. Expenditures
under both laws are estimated at 185 million dollars in 1953. Many
localities receiving such aid have suffered additional financial strain
because of current mobilization activities. Because of the rigid
formulas in these laws, we have been unable to provide adequate aid
to these localities and to others, such as the Savannah River and
Paducah areas, where new atomic energy installations have resulted
in a vastly increased need for schools.
Late in the last session the Congress passed legislation which would
have amended these laws so as to provide more adequate and flexible
authority for assisting critical defense housing areas, but the bill
included certain objectionable provisions which compelled me to
withhold my approval. I hope that the Congress will reenact, at
this session, the much-needed amendments in an acceptable form and
at the same time make other improvements in the laws. Expendi
tures under this proposed legislation are estimated at 35 million
dollars in the fiscal year 1953 for both the construction and the
operation programs.
Children of migratory workers constitute a special group whose
present educational opportunities are inadequate. As has been
pointed out by the Commission on Migratory Labor, because these
children move with their families, they start school later, attend fewer
days, make less progress, and drop out earlier than others. As a
first step toward meeting this problem, we need to work out special
teaching materials and methods suited to their education. I have
therefore included in this Budget money to enable the Office of
Education to make the necessary studies in cooperation with the
States and with institutions of higher learning.
Promotion oj education— colleges and universities.— In the present
emergency, our military forces and our defense industries need an
increasing number of people who have advanced education and
training. Full strength on all fronts is essential for the long pull, and
trained manpower is critically important to such strength. This need
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
for a substantial and rapid increase in the number of people who go to
colleges and universities is a national problem requiring national
action.
By temporarily postponing the induction of students into the
armed forces, we took one step toward assuring that each man receives
the training which will enable him to serve national needs most
effectively. At present, however, family financial ability tends to
be the factor that decides who, among the able, can continue his
education and who will be inducted immediately. The results are
not only unfair— they are detrimental to our national interest.
Elsewhere in this Budget there are Federal programs for aid to
college students, such as the programs of veterans’ education and
the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. These programs are necessary
for special purposes. They do not meet the broader needs of the
Nation. A general program of scholarship aid and loans for under
graduate students is the logical and practical answer, and this Budget
therefore includes 30 million dollars for initiating such a program in
the fiscal year 1953. The program I am recommending is designed to
provide modest payments to a limited number of students, and to give
this aid only in those instances where the students otherwise could not
go to college.
National Science Foundation.— During the last decade we have seen
how basic scientific research can alter the foundations of world power.
We have seen that this research yields a stream of new knowledge
which fortifies our economic welfare as well as our national strength.
We have learned that a strong, steady, and wide-ranging effort in
science is as essential to our sustained national security as the pro
duction of weapons and the training of military personnel.
The National Science Foundation has been established as the
Government agency responsible for a continuing analysis of the
whole national endeavor in basic research, including the evaluation
of the research programs of other Federal agencies. On the basis of
studies now under way, the Foundation will formulate a broad
national policy designed to assure that the scope and the quality of
basic research in this country are adequate for national security and
technological progress.
The Foundation also will stimulate or sponsor basic research in
subjects which otherwise might receive inadequate attention. While
the research program of the Foundation is not intended to supersede
the basic research programs of other agencies, the Foundation should
ultimately become the principal agency through which the Federal
Government gives support to basic research that is not directly related
m
61
m 62
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
to the statutory functions of other Federal agencies. The proposed
increase for research support by the Foundation has been taken into
account in arriving at the recommendations for the basic research
programs for the Department of Defense and other agencies.
In the present fiscal year the National Science Foundation is
initiating a modest program of fellowships in the sciences. The
1953 Budget recommendation for the Foundation provides for an
expansion of this program to help meet the increasing need for special
ized and professional personnel in the present emergency.
To make its greatest contribution speedily and effectively, the
Foundation needs in the fiscal year 1953 an appropriation of the full 15
million dollars authorized by law. Expenditures in 1953 are estimated
at 10 million dollars below the appropriation because many research
grants extend over two or three years and because the fellowship
program is only beginning.
SOCIAL SECURITY, W ELFARE, AND H EALTH
Expenditures for social security, welfare, and health are estimated
at 2.7 billion dollars for the fiscal year 1953, slightly less than in the
current year and 282 million dollars higher than in 1951. Most of
the increase over 1951 occurs in proposed legislation for public assist
ance and in transfers to the railroad retirement trust account of pay
roll taxes collected from railroad employers and employees.
In the past year, our programs for protecting people against want
and privation have progressed further toward a contributory social
insurance basis. Old-age and survivors insurance, financed through
a trust fund, has forged ahead of public assistance as a source of
income for nonworking people over 65 years of age.
This marks the realization for the first time of a basic principle of
the Social Security Act— that the major role of protecting people
against want in old age should be assigned to social insurance,
financed mutually by employers and employees through payroll taxes,
and providing benefits as a matter of right without a means test.
Only 16 months ago there were 2,800,000 aged people on the public
assistance rolls, while only 2,000,000 were receiving old-age and
survivors insurance, and average public assistance benefits were
substantially greater than old-age insurance payments. Today, more
than 3,200,000 persons receive old-age insurance, while the number
of aged receiving public assistance has dropped by about 100,000
from the peak reached in September 1950 and is still declining.
Moreover, insurance benefit rates have been increased to a level
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
M03
almost equal to average public assistance payments. The 1950
amendments to the Social Security Act— which broadened the cover
age and increased the benefits— played a major role in reversing the
previous trend.
Unquestionably, the healthiest form of economic security for all
people is opportunity for steady employment. The overwhelming
majority of people in the American labor force— white collar and
blue collar, skilled and unskilled— are able to work and want to work.
To that end, additional efforts should be made by private employers
and Government to utilize the skills of the older workers and, where
necessary, to retrain them for work commensurate with their capaci
ties. But for those who are unable to work— older or disabled people
or widows with growing children— insurance protection should be
available on an adequate basis.

Benefits should be increased without delay. Because of the rising
wage level, the revenues of the old-age and survivors insurance system
are higher than will be needed to pay the present scale of benefits to
people who will retire. Under these circumstances, it is possible to
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
increase average primary benefit rates by about 5 dollars a month.
This increase can be made without in any way increasing the contribu
tion rates in present laws. This would raise the average benefit of a
retired worker to 47 dollars a month.
In addition, I hope the Congress will not neglect other desirable im
provements in our social insurance laws which will move us closer to
our objective of making old-age and survivors insurance a basic
protection for all employed groups, with special pension plans supple
menting this basic protection. We should extend coverage to mem
bers of the armed forces, public employees, farmers, farm and house
hold workers not regularly employed by a single employer, and other
employed groups who are not covered by a publicly sponsored insur
ance system. Also, as soon as practicable, the present limitation of
3,600 dollars a year on earnings taxed under the insurance system
should be brought up to date, and provision should be made for per
manent and total disability protection.
Railroad retirement.— Expenditures of the Railroad Retirement
Board consist principally of transfers to the railroad retirement trust
account of taxes collected from railroad employers and employees.
The amendments enacted last October raised benefits for the 400,000
persons who were then receiving retirement payments under the Rail
road Retirement Act. They also provided benefits for the first time
for the wife or husband of a retired railroad employee. Expendi
tures for these benefits are made directly from the trust fund and do
not, therefore, affect the Budget total.
These amendments were enacted by the Congress as a first step
toward improving the railroad retirement system. Much more
remains to be done if we are to give railroad workers and their depend
ents adequate protection on a sound financial basis. I am glad that
the Congress adopted a resolution providing for a comprehensive
study of the railroad retirement system, its benefits and financing,
and its relationship to the old-age and survivors insurance program.
Public assistance.— Federal grants to the States for the existing
public-assistance programs are declining. Expenditures in the fiscal
year 1953 under present law are estimated at 1.1 billion dollars, 40
million dollars below the amount now estimated for the current year.
The number of recipients of old-age assistance and aid to dependent
children began to decline during the past year, largely because of
increased employment and improved old-age and survivors insurance.
This decline is expected to continue in the fiscal year 1953.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
For those who are in genuine need, and who have no recourse other
than public assistance, upward adjustments in monthly payments are
warranted in view of advances in the cost of living. The Federal
Government in assisting the States to bear the costs of public assist
ance has a responsibility for sharing the expense of the necessary ad
justments. Many States have had difficulty in raising their benefits
to adequate levels. I recommend the enactment of legislation to
provide additional help on a matching basis to assist the States to
attain higher benefit levels. This Budget includes 100 million dollars
as a tentative estimate of the amount needed for this purpose.
Aid to special groups.— The Federal Government traditionally
assumes part of the financial responsibility for two programs operated
by the States for special groups. One of them provides low-cost
lunches to school children, thus offering some assurance against under
nourishment of our children. My Budget recommendation for this
activity is based upon continuing Federal participation at the present
level. The other program rehabilitates disabled people and returns
them to productive employment, thus increasing our labor force and
our national production of goods and services. I am recommending
a moderate increase for this purpose.
The Federal Government also provides health, welfare, and educa
tional services for our 400,000 native Indians. Because the present
level of these services is clearly inadequate, this Budget provides for a
15-million-dollar increase in expenditures in the next fiscal year. In
addition to permitting some improvement and expansion of basic
health and educational services, this increase will enable the Bureau
of Indian Affairs to conduct a constructive program to provide the
Indians with training and off-reservation relocation opportunities and
to help them to make satisfactory adjustments in new locations.
Promotion oj public health.—‘The health of the American people is
essential for our security and development. Like any other resource,
health should be safeguarded and improved. The Federal Govern
ment has contributed to this objective in a number of ways, par
ticularly through its extensive research programs and its financial
aid to the States. But we still have a long way to go.
On the basis of available studies indicating the pressing need for
such measures, I recommend that legislation be enacted to provide aid
for medical education and local public health units. Furthermore, in
order to help outline a course of action which will aid in meeting the
m 65
m 66
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
long-term health requirements of the Nation, I have established a
commission to study various health problems. The Commission will
consider, among other things, the availability of medical services and
the adequacy of present methods of paying for them.
Public health services are provided primarily by local health agencies
with extensive cooperation and assistance from the States and the
Federal Government. More than half of the Federal expenditures for
promotion of public health are for grants-in-aid to the States and
localities by the Public Health Service and the Children’s Bureau.
These grants are for such activities as hospital construction, control of
venereal disease and tuberculosis, mental health, maternal and child
health, general health services, and detection of cancer and heart dis
ease. Most of the remainder goes toward technical assistance to the
States in the form of demonstrations, educational programs, and con
sultative services, and for the research programs of the Public Health
Service and Children’s Bureau. The estimate of expenditures for
health programs in the fiscal year 1953 is lower than for the current
year primarily because of smaller outlays to liquidate contract author
izations, particularly under the Federal-State hospital construction
program. This reduction reflects our continuing policy of holding
new construction to a minimum.
Defense community facilities and services.— This item is for Federal
assistance to critical defense housing areas in providing facilities and
services essential to health and welfare, including sewage disposal and
water supply. Unless these basic needs are met, it will not be possible
to attract all the workers needed for defense production. These
health and welfare activities support the defense housing and com
munity facilities program which is discussed in the Housing and
Community Development section of this Message.
Trust funds.— In addition to the railroad retirement trust account,
mentioned above, the Federal Government maintains two other large
trust funds for publicly sponsored retirement and insurance systems—
old-age and survivors insurance and civil-service retirement. The
money in the trust funds is invested in Government securities, and
the interest earnings are added to the principal in each fund. The
balances in these three funds will aggregate approximately 25 billion
dollars at the end of the current fiscal year.

V E TERA N S’ SERVICES AND BENEFITS
Expenditures for veterans’ services and benefits, which have de
clined 43 percent from the World War II peak of 7.4 billion dollars in
1947, are estimated at 4.2 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1953. The
decline results from sharp reductions in expenditures for readjust
ment benefits and insurance outlays.
In view of the large increase in the size of our armed forces since
Korea, and the continued increase in expenditures for compensation
and pensions, further large declines in veterans’ outlays are unlikely.
Our veteran population is increasing rapidly under the policy which
requires nearly all able-bodied young men coming of military age to
serve their turn in the armed services. As our commitments to our
growing number of veterans increase, we should constantly inquire
950000—52------Vi
m
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
68
into how we can best meet their needs and the needs of their depend
ents. In considering legislation affecting veterans, we must take into
account the prevailing economic and military situation, the relation of
veterans’ programs to the whole range of Government programs, the
availability of other Government services, and the lessons learned
from experience.
The chief responsibility of the Government is to give medical care
to veterans who have been injured in the service, to assist them to
assume their place in society as productive and self-reliant citizens,
and to give necessary aid to the families of veterans deceased or in
jured from service causes. We should also provide other demobilized
servicemen with timely readjustment assistance on a sound basis.
The needs of veterans and their families not resulting directly from
military service can be best met through the welfare programs serving
the whole population. These programs have been expanded and im
proved in recent years. Only the special and unique needs of service
men and their dependents arising directly from military service should
be provided for in special veterans’ programs.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Readjustment benefits.— Expenditures for education and training of
World War II veterans are estimated at 626 million dollars in the
fiscal year 1953, a decline of 860 million dollars from the revised
estimates for the current fiscal year. The 1953 expenditures will
provide for an average enrollment of 491,000 in school, job, and farm
training courses. The reduction from an average enrollment of over
one million in the current fiscal year reflects the fact that July 25,1951,
was the deadline for initiation of training under the program. By the
end of the fiscal year 1953, approximately 7,800,000 veterans—-about
half of all the veterans of World War II— will have received education
and training at a cost to the Government of 14.3 billion dollars.
This investment is already proving to be of great benefit to the veterans
and the Nation.
Other expenditures under the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act are
for unemployment and self-employment allowances and loan guaran
tees. In the fiscal year 1953, only the outlays for loan guarantee
activities will continue to be large. Government expenditures for
interest gratuities on guaranteed loans and on account of defaulted
loans are estimated to decline slightly to 72 million dollars. An esti
mated 391,000 new loans amounting to 3.3 billion dollars are expected
to be guaranteed. This will raise to 21.5 billion dollars the aggregate
of veterans’ loans for homes, farms, and businesses guaranteed by the
Government since 1945.
This Budget includes 75 million dollars to cover the first year’s cost
of a new program of readjustment benefits for discharged servicemen
who have served since the beginning of the Korean conflict. I recom
mend prompt enactment of such a program. However, I do not
believe that extension of the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act in its
present form would be the proper way to meet the new need. The
main assistance to be provided at this time should be a sound and
constructive program of education and training. The new legislation
should take account of the significant imperfections which have
become apparent in our experience with the “ GI bill.” All possible
effort should be made to incorporate into any new program the lessons
learned from that experience. Studies now bein^made by the Con
gress should be of value in the consideration of pending bills to estab
lish a new readjustment program for these veterans.
Compensation and pensions.— It is estimated that under existing
laws an average of 3,179,000 individuals and families will receive
veterans’ compensation and pension payments totaling more than
2.1 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1953. This is a net increase of
84,000 in the average number of cases and 63 million dollars in pay
m 69
m 70
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
ments over the estimates for the current fiscal year. The expenditure
estimates reflect an anticipated supplemental appropriation of 42
million dollars in the fiscal year 1952 to cover expenditures for com
pensation and pensions, in part because of new legislation enacted by
the first session of this Congress.
The total of 2.1 billion dollars under present laws for the fiscal year
1953 includes 1.5 billion dollars in compensation payments to servicedisabled veterans and families of those veterans who have died from
service-connected causes, as well as 618 million dollars in pension
payments for non-service-connected disabilities. Under existing laws
expenditures for compensation and pensions will more than double in
future years, with the increase entirely in non-service-connected pen
sions. Legislation to increase further the number of non-serviceconnected pension beneficiaries should be reviewed in light of the fact
that most veterans who need financial help will be covered by the
old-age and survivors insurance program. In those cases where
veterans are not covered by this program, the sensible remedy is to
extend old-age and survivors insurance to include them.
With respect to death and disability compensation payments arising
from service causes, I recommend that the Congress carefully review
the rates and revise them where recent increases in the cost of living
warrant. This Budget includes 100 million dollars to defray the cost
of such increases. The legislation making the specific changes should
take into account the new dependents’ allowances for disabled veterans
with families, and the increases in death compensation rates which
have been enacted in recent years, as well as payments to beneficiaries
under other Government programs. In particular, the Congress
should carefully investigate the disparities which exist because of the
fact that survivors of many servicemen receive both veterans’ benefits
and old-age and survivors insurance benefits on the basis of military
service, while families of other veterans receive only the veterans’
benefits.
Insurance and servicemen’s indemnities.— After intensive investi
gation, the Congress early last year established a new system of $10,000
indemnities to fancies of servicemen who die while on active duty
or within 120 days after discharge. These indemnities are provided
for every serviceman without charge in lieu of the National Service Life
Insurance which was previously available on an optional basis. They
provide universal protection for servicemen’s dependents. At the
same time they cost the Government less than National Service Life
Insurance. Indemnity payments to families of servicemen will be
about 9 million dollars in the fiscal year 1953.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
In the Insurance Act of 1951, the Congress also provided an
improved system of insurance to cover disabled and other servicemen
after their discharge from the armed forces. This new insurance,
financed through revolving funds, is based upon more realistic mortality
tables and interest and premium rates than are used in the National
Service Life Insurance program. Receipts in these funds will be 2
million dollars more than expenditures in 1953.
In addition, the Government continues to reimburse the National
Service Life Insurance and United States Government Life Insurance
trust funds for the cost of deaths of policyholders traceable to war
hazards, and also pays claims for certain veterans who failed to meet
regular standards of insurability. It is estimated that Budget expendi
tures for these payments will rise to 242 million dollars in the current
fiscal year because of casualties in Korea, but they are expected to
decline to 61 million dollars in 1953. Further reductions are expected
in subsequent years, since new members of the armed forces are
covered by the indemnity system.
Hospital and medical care.— With the opening of 20 new veterans7
hospitals in the fiscal year 1953, the average number of patients is
expected to increase by 4,400 above the current year’s level. Corre
spondingly, current expenses for hospital and medical care of veterans
are expected to increase 25 million dollars.
The number of patients in hospitals and homes in the fiscal year
1953 is estimated to average about 134,000, of which about two-thirds
are non-service-connected cases. It is estimated that the out-patient
case load during the year will decline seven percent, to 3,486,000 visits
and treatments. Total current expenses for hospital and medical care
in the fiscal year 1953 are estimated at 695 million dollars.
Hospital construction.— Expenditures for construction of hospital
and domiciliary facilities for veterans are expected to decline in the
fiscal year 1953 as the program to provide 36,500 new beds nears
completion. M y Budget recommendations include 95 million dollars
in new obligational authority to complete hospitals now under con
struction, to permit the construction of three new hospitals uiider the
36,500-bed program, and to begin conversion and modernization of
existing facilities.
Other services and administration.— It is estimated that expenditures
for administration and miscellaneous services will be 52 millioh dollars
less in the fiscal year 1953 than in the current year. About 21 million
dollars of the reduction is due to the fact that the 1952 total included
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
m 72
a nonrecurring outlay for automobiles for blind and amputee veterans.
The remainder is a reduction in the expenses of administering the
nonmedical benefit programs. This in part reflects declining work
loads and in part more efficient methods of operation as the result
of consolidation of district offices and the substitution of the service
men's indemnity program for National Service Life Insurance.
Trust funds.— The Servicemen’s Indemnity Act of 1951 virtu
ally terminated the issuance of new National Service Life Insurance
policies, but did not affect 7.6 million policies now outstanding under
National Service Life Insurance and United States Government Life
Insurance trust funds.
In the current fiscal year, expenditures from these two trust funds
are substantially greater than receipts because the second special
National Service Life Insurance dividend is still being paid. By the
start of the fiscal year 1953 it is expected that dividend payments out
of the National Service Life Insurance fund will be on a current basis.
In that year expenditures and receipts from the two trust funds will
approach a balance.

Federal financial management.— The Revenue Act of 1951 increased
the amount and variety of taxes to be collected. The increased funds
provided in this Budget will enable the Bureau of Internal Revenue
to expand its auditing and enforcement operations to assure better
compliance with the tax laws. The maintenance of public confidence
in the tax collection process is essential to our tax system To this
end, steps have been taken or are in process to insure the integrity of
the tax-collecting system by tightening up the supervision of all
Bureau operations throughout the country, establishing an inspection
service independent of the rest of the Bureau, and speeding up the
prosecution of delinquent taxpayers. Furthermore, I have trans
m 74
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
mitted to the Congress, under the Reorganization Act of 1949, a plan
for reorganization of the Bureau for the purpose of bringing about an
improved organization with clearer lines of authority and responsi
bility, and providing that all positions in the Bureau not now filled
through civil service, except that of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, shall be so filled hereafter.
Most of the increase in expenditures for tax enforcement will be
used to intensify investigations of the tax returns and activities of
racketeers and to enforce the new wagering taxes levied by the
Revenue Act of 1951. To perform this work effectively, some 7,000
employees will have to be added to the Bureau staff before the end
of the current fiscal year. Early approval of a supplemental appro
priation will be needed to make this possible.
The Renegotiation Board, established under a statute enacted last
spring, is now organizing to review profits earned under defenserelated contracts and to prevent or recover excessive payments by
the Government. This Budget includes an estimate of 7.3 million
dollars for expenses of the Board during the fiscal year 1953.
Central property and records management.— Under the Federal Prop
erty and Administrative Services Act of 1949, the General Services
Administration has brought about more efficient and effective use of
the Government’s real and personal property and is endeavoring to
eliminate nonessential requirements, to set inventory levels at a mini
mum, and to apply stricter standards of use and replacement. This
program has been reoriented to meet the needs of the defense agencies
and other Government agencies for space, equipment, and supplies.
The volume of records preserved by operating agencies and in
recently established regional records centers is continually being
reduced, and the storage of the remaining records is being further
centralized to release scarce office and warehouse space. By the end
of the fiscal year 1953, the regional records center program will release
for other uses nearly 2 million square feet of space and approximately
200,000 filing cabinets.
Civilian personnel management.— An increase in Government per
sonnel has been required to meet the needs of our security programs.
The Civil Service Commission has had to expand its examining,
recruiting, and placement activities to safeguard the merit system.
The use of expert boards of examiners will be extended and improved
and a program of centralized recruiting in major employment centers
will be inaugurated to eliminate duplication of recruiting efforts.
m essage
of t h e
p r e s id e n t
At present, a few Federal agencies have authority to assign a limited
number of personnel for advanced training in fields directly related to
the w^ork of their agencies. In order to increase the productivity of
employees in various lines of scientific, technical, and administrative
work, I recommend that the Congress extend standard but limited
authority to Government agencies generally, so that they may provide
such training at institutions of learning, scientific laboratories, or
private establishments for a small number of their personnel.
Experience under the several existing statutes authorizing positions
in grades GS-16, -17, and -18 under the Classification Act shows that
the total number of allowable positions in these top-level grades should
be increased if the Government is to attract and retain the most
competent and responsible employees.
The recent pay increases voted for Federal employees under the
Classification Act of 1949 created a problem in some Federal agencies
which are authorized to fix pay rates by administrative action. In
cases where these rates customarily approximate those of the Classifi
cation Act and no generally comparable increases have been given,
provision is made in this Budget for the necessary increases.
Federal civilian employees’ retirement.— The cost of civilian employ
ees’ retirement benefits is financed by contributions from the em
ployees and the Government. By law, Federal employees covered
under the system are required to contribute to a trust fund 6 percent
of their salaries, and the Government is required to contribute an
amount sufficient to cover the remaining cost of benefits. The Gov
ernment cojitribution for the fiscal year 1953 consists of a normal con
tribution of 2.78 percent of payroll to pay currently accruing costs,
and a deficiency contribution to pay interest on and provide for amorti
zation of the Government’s accrued liability to the fund. This liability
results from employees’ services rendered prior to the effective date of
the system, credits for military service, and insufficient appropriations
for the Government contribution in some years. This Budget includes
458 million dollars for the annual contribution of the Government for
the fiscal year 1953 to the Civil Service retirement and disability trust
fund, 148 million dollars more than in the current fiscal year. This
estimate takes into account the higher benefits for future annuitants
which will result from a recent advance in the pay rates for Govern
ment employees. It also provides for the first of 30 annual payments
to amortize the Government’s accrued liability to the fund so that the
retirement system eventually will be financed on a full reserve basis,
as is contemplated by the retirement act.
m 76
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Federal employees’ unemployment compensation.— Legislation is
needed to provide unemployment compensation benefits for Federal
employees, as part of the present Federal-State system of unemploy
ment insurance. In the past, Federal employees relied on accumu
lated annual leave to provide income during temporary periods of
unemployment. This is a distortion of the purpose of annual leave.
Moreover, the amount of protection afforded through leave accumu
lation varies greatly among individuals and without any particular
relationship to the likelihood of unemployment. Because of recent
laws which temporarily stopped the accumulation of leave, and the
new leave law of 1951 reducing the amount of leave permitted to most
Federal employees, many of them are now without even this uncertain
protection. This applies especially to the temporary workers hired
during the present emergency.
Dispersal oj Government activities.— Last year I recommended a
program for the dispersal of essential units of Government in the
vicinity of the District of Columbia in the interests of security and
reduction of congestion in the metropolitan area.
The Public Works Committee of the Senate, after extensive hearings
and deliberations, reported a bill providing for the construction of a
limited number of Federal buildings outside of but in the vicinity of
and accessible to the District of Columbia, the construction of a
circumferential highway outside of the boundaries of the District of
Columbia, and the permanent decentralization of units of Government
which could operate at distant locations without significant loss of
efficiency. I am in full accord with the objectives set forth in the bill
and the accompanying committee report. I am convinced that any
program which fails to place primary emphasis on dispersal to nearby
areas would not be in the interest of security, efficient administration,
or good area planning.
Subsequent review of that part of the program involving dispersal
has led to the conclusion that presently owned Government land
should be used as sites for necessary buildings and facilities, with
resulting economy. This Budget includes 15 million dollars as a
preliminary estimate of the amount needed in the fiscal year 1953.
I strongly urge approval of this modified program.
Payments on Federal real estate.—-The Congress now has before it a
proposal, drafted in the Bureau of the Budget, to establish a general
system of limited payments to State and local governments in cases in
which their finances have been adversely affected by Federal Govern
ment acquisitions of real estate. The problem is one of long standing.
m 77
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
It is becoming more acute as we acquire more property for military
bases and other defense-related facilities which impose new burdens
upon some local governments. The enactment of a reasonable solu
tion will help to spread governmental costs more equitably and at the
same time will strengthen our Federal-State system of government.
IN TEREST
Most of the interest payments now being made by the Federal
Government result from the large increase in the public debt which
arose out of World War II. In the fiscal year 1953, interest will cost
the Government about six times as much as it did in the prewar fiscal
year 1940 and will account for over seven percent of total Budget
expenditures.

Interest on the public debt.— Expenditures for interest on the public
debt in the fiscal year 1953 are estimated at 6,150 million dollars, an
increase of 300 million dollars over the 1952 estimate and 535 million
dollars over 1951. The rise in expenditures is due both to an increase
in the amount of interest-bearing debt and to higher interest rates.
On the basis of present estimates of receipts and expenditures, the
debt will increase by 20 billion dollars during the fiscal years 1952 and
1953. However, because of the lag between the borrowing of new
funds and the initial interest payments, the full impact of the debt
increase will not be reflected in increased interest payments until the
fiscal year 1954.
During the past calendar year, the average interest rate on the
total interest-bearing debt has increased by about one-tenth of one per
cent, With a debt of the present size, this means an increase of over
250 million dollars in the computed annual interest charge. This in
crease in the interest charge cannot, however, be directly associated
with the increase in interest payments during the fiscal year 1953.
The estimate of expenditures for the fiscal year 1953 is based upon
m 78
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
the present levels of interest rates since it is not possible to predict
changes in rates in the future.
The continued expansion of special issues to Government trust funds
and other Government agencies will further increase interest payments
in the fiscal year 1953. The average interest rate on most of these
issues is higher than the average rate paid on the rest of the public
debt.
For the first time in several years, interest accruals on savings bonds
are not expected to rise in the fiscal year 1953. In fact, they may fall
slightly. Interest accruals on series E savings bonds sold during World
War II have now reached maximum levels. Increased accruals on
bonds sold since World War II will be more than offset by reduced
accruals on maturing obligations which will, at the option of the
owner, either be redeemed or extended for another 10 years under the
authority of legislation enacted last spring.
Interest on refunds.•—Interest is paid on refunded receipts because
the Federal Government has had the temporary use of the funds.
Most refunds result from the overpayment of taxes by individuals and
corporations. The rate paid on such refunds is six percent, the same
rate that taxpayers are charged on delinquent payments.
Refunds of tax overpayments are expected to be higher in the fiscal
years 1952 and 1953 than in 1951. This will result in an increase in
interest expenditures.
IM P R O V IN G TH E M A N A G E M E N T OF G O V E R N M E N T P R O G R A M S
In presenting to the Congress a Budget that reflects expanding
Federal programs in support of the Nation’s security effort, I am
keenly aware of the challenging job of management placed upon the
Federal Government. I have already outlined in previous sections of
this Message a number of improvements in the management and
operation of various parts of the Government. There are, in addi
tion, other developments to which I wish to draw attention here.
Since the start of the defense mobilization program, we have done
a great deal to adapt the machinery of Government for the efficient
performance of new tasks. Practically all agencies of the Government
today have reoriented their activities, and many have modified their
internal structures to carry out their new responsibilities. In addi
tion, several new agencies have been created, primarily to assist in the
coordination of our security programs. In the field of production and
stabilization, the Office of Defense Mobilization, the Defense Produc
tion Administration, and the Economic Stabilization Agency were
organized during the months immediately following the attack on
MESSAGE OP THE PRESIDENT
Korea. More recently, the Defense Materials Procurement Agency
and the Small Defense Plants Administration have been established.
In the field of foreign assistance, the creation of the coordinating
position of the Director for Mutual Security, the termination of the
Economic Cooperation Administration and the creation of the Mutual
Security Agency, and the integration of the Institute of Inter-American
Affairs into the Technical Cooperation Administration in the Depart
ment of State represent important developments.
The basic organizational shifts to meet the demands of our security
programs have been substantially completed. We are now faced with
the continuing problem of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of
our governmental machinery.
In order to assure continuing progress in this field, the Executive
agencies are required to submit programs for management improve
ment along with their annual budget requests. These programs were
examined as this Budget was prepared in order to identify the most
urgent operating problems and to find opportunities for reducing
operating costs. I have also had the benefit of advice from members
of my Advisory Committee on Management, upon which I have
placed the special duty of reviewing the status and progress of the
management of our defense mobilization programs.
Because the largest share of Federal funds is spent by the Depart
ment of Defense, particular consideration is being given to its manage
ment problems. Substantial progress has been made in placing
the accounting and financial administration of manufacturing and other
business-type operations of the military departments on a sound and
business-like basis. This will enable better management and cost
control of operations such as ordnance arsenals, sea transport, and
printing plants.
While principal emphasis has necessarily been placed on the organ
ization and management of civilian and military mobilization pro
grams, the general improvement of management in other parts of the
Executive branch has gone forward. A notable action was the re
organization plan for providing single direction of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. The Veterans Administration is consolidating
into a smaller number of offices insurance activities formerly per
formed by 11 district offices— an action that will result in an annual
saving of several million dollars. The Administrator of Veterans7
Affairs has also engaged management consultants to undertake a com
prehensive examination of the organization and management of the
m 79
m
80
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Veterans Administration. The Post Office Department has recently
inaugurated a new money-order system which will save several million
dollars annually, and is taking other steps to improve the efficiency
of the postal service. These are illustrative of the vigorous actions I
shall continue to expect from the management improvement programs
that all agencies have established at my request.
In addition to actions taken by individual departments and agencies
to improve their organizations and to obtain greater operating econ
omies, improvements of a Government-wide nature are also being
made. Of major significance are those in the Government’s fiscal
operations, made under the joint accounting program being conducted
by the Comptroller General of the United States, the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the Director of the Bureau of the Budget in collabora
tion with all other agencies of the Government. That program,
greatly advanced by the enactment of the Budget and Accounting
Procedures Act of 1950, is directed mainly at providing full, accurate
and timely financial information concerning the operations of the
Government. This will enable Government officials to carry out their *
functions more effectively and economically, and will provide the tax
payer with better information as to where and how the tax dollar is
spent.
Programs throughout the Government chiefly concerned with the
collection of statistical data and economic analysis have also been re
viewed as recommended by the Task Force on Statistical Agencies to
the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Gov
ernment. The objective of this appraisal was to avoid overlapping
and duplication in statistical programs and to eliminate unnecessary
expenditures. The Budget recommendations for these activities are
designed particularly to develop an orderly Government-wide pro
gram which will meet at minimum costs the new requirements for
economic information imposed by the security effort.
It is my intention to maintain a vigorous program for the improve
ment of Government management on all fronts. During the coming
year I shall continue to make improvements in the mobilization agen
cies under the authority of the Defense Production Act. Under the
Reorganization Act of 1949,1 have already submitted to the Congress
a plan to strengthen the Bureau of Internal Revenue. I expect to
propose to the Congress additional reorganization plans, as well as to
recommend legislation for administrative changes. A number of the
recommendations of the Commission on Organization of the Executive
Branch of the Government which require legislation have not yet been
M81
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
acted upon by the Congress. I urge the Congress to review those
recommendations and act on the ones which are still applicable and
which will contribute to the more effective administration of the
Government.
This Budget represents the program I am recommending for promot
ing peace and safeguarding security.
In the current world crisis, the price of peace is preparedness. In
terms of the sacrifices which this involves, it is a heavy price, but when
freedom is at stake, it is a price which all of us will gladly pay.
It is my hope— and I know this hope is shared by all the peoples of
the world— that we can some day cast off the heavy burden of arma
ments and devote our full energies to fighting the only war in which
all mankind can be victorious— the war against poverty, disease, and
human misery.
This Nation will continue to do everything in its power to trans
form that hope into reality.

IN T R O D U C T IO N T O P A R T I
Part I of the Budget (pages a1 to a 1 3 ) contains seven
summary tables on Federal funds and on the public debt.
Each of these tables is designed to bring together in one
to three pages some aspect of the over-all presentation
of the Federal Budget.
TYPES OF FEDERAL FUNDS
The Federal (Government-owned) funds which are
covered in part I of the Budget are of three types as
follows:
The general fund is credited with all receipts which
are not earmarked by law and is charged with ex
penditures that are payable out of appropriations of
“ any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated”
and out of borrowing. Both in number of items and in
amount, most of the Government’s transactions are trans
actions of the general fund.
Special funds are those which are credited with receipts
that are earmarked by law for a specific purpose. Some
special funds are subject to annual appropriation by
Congress. Others are automatically available under the
law.
Business enterprise and revolving funds are those which
are credited with certain collections (other than taxes)
which are earmarked by law to carry out a cycle of bus
iness-type operations. Also included in this group are a
few funds created by law to expedite, accounting for and
administration of, operations financed from two or more
appropriations of an agency.
BUDGET RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES
Basis oj stating budget receipts.— Table 1 includes a sum
mary of budget receipts. Such receipts include all money
covered into the Treasury to the credit of the general fund
and of special funds. Budget receipts never include money
obtained from borrowing. Because business enterprise
and revolving funds are covered on a net basis in the
expenditures (see below), budget receipts do not include
receipts of such funds.
Basis oj stating budget expenditures.— Tables 1, 4, and
7 include information on budget expenditures. The gen
eral fund expenditures are stated on a checks-issued basis,
less refunds and reimbursements received directly into
the accounts. An exception to the checks-issued basis is
interest on the public debt, for which expenditures are
reported on the basis of amounts becoming payable during
the year, whether paid or not. Special fund expenditures
are reported on the basis of checks issued less refunds
collected. In the case of business enterprise and revolving
funds the expenditures are reported on a net basis; that
is, the collections received by the fund are deducted from
checks issued, and the resulting figure is shown as an
expenditure. Where the collections are larger than the
checks issued, the amount included in the expenditures is
a negative figure.
Repayments of borrowing are always excluded from
budget expenditure figures. Similarly, net investments
in United States Government securities are excluded from
the expenditure figures.
Eliminations jrom both receipts and expenditures.— Cer
tain payments from one fund to another are eliminated
from budget receipts and expenditures. This is standard
accounting practice and it is done in order to avoid in
flating both sides of the Budget. General fund invest
ments in business enterprise and revolving funds, the pay
ments of earnings and dividends on such capital, and the
return of such capital to the general fund are the types
of items which have been so excluded.
BUDGET SURPLUS, DEFICIT, AND PUBLIC DEBT
Budget surplus and deficit.— The budget surplus or defi
cit, shown in table 1, represents the difference between
budget receipts and budget expenditures in the year.
Cash balances at the opening or closing of the year have
no effect upon the figure. Similarly, surpluses and defi
cits of previous years do not enter into the calculation.
Therefore, a budget surplus of one year is not used in the
tables to influence a budget deficit of a following year.
The public debt.— The last section of table 1 summarizes
and table 3 gives details regarding the effect of each year’s
operations upon the public debt. The budget surplus or
deficit is not the only factor which causes a change in the
public debt. The amount of the debt which it is neces
sary to borrow or which it is possible to redeem is also in
fluenced by: changes in the Treasury cash balance, the
result of trust fund transactions, the use of Government
corporation debt to the public as a means of financing
budget expenditures of the corporations (and vice-versa in
the case of repayments), and the change in the amount of
outstanding checks and other items in process of clearance
through the accounts.
TIMING OF AUTHORIZATIONS
Distinction between permanent and current authoriza
tions.— Tables 2 and 6, as well as the detail in part II, dis
tinguish permanent authorizations from current authori
zations. The “permanent” items are those under which
new money becomes available from time to time under
action previously taken by the Congress; no further action
is required each year. The “ current” authorizations are
those enacted by Congress in or immediately preceding
each fiscal year.
Items proposed jor later transmission.— While the sum
mary tables of the Budget present a complete financial
program, the details in part II are not a formal transmittal
of the entire Budget. Tables 1, 2, and most of the other
tables in the Budget identify by separate columns the
estimate of amounts which it is expected will be trans
mitted later. Such items include: (a) supplemental esti
mates for the current year, (6) appropriations and other
authorizations to carry out programs for which authorizing
legislation is to be submitted in advance of recommended
appropriation language, (c) proposed legislation which
would affect receipts, and {d) an allowance for items which
cannot be foreseen now but which will be transmitted later
when definite amounts can be determined and the needs
can be more specifically identified. The last-named allow
ance is called a “ reserve for contingencies” ; congressional
a3
a4
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1953
action upon it will be requested later, not as a single
lump sum item, but in the form of a number of specific
appropriations for individual items.
TYPES OF AUTHORIZATIONS
In tables 2 and 6 budget authorizations are classified
according to types as follows:
Appropriations are authorizations to make expenditures
from the general fund of the Treasury or from the various
special funds. Most appropriations confer authority both
to incur obligations and to expend money. In some cases
the authority to incur obligations has previously been
granted in the form of contract authorizations; when this
has happened, the portion of the appropriation which is to
permit the payment of such obligations is said to be “ for
liquidation of prior contract authorizations.”
Contract authorizations are authorizations to incur
obligations prior to the enactment of an appropriation.
A contract authorization does not in itself permit the
spending of money; hence it must be followed by an appro
priation to permit payment of the contracts and other
obligations thus incurred.
Authorizations to expend from debt receipts are authoriza
tions to make expenditures from borrowed money. Such
authorizations may take these forms: (a) authorizations
for the Treasury to make public debt receipts available
to a given agency or enterprise, often in exchange for notes
of the enterprise; (6) authorizations for a Governmentowned corporation to borrow directly from the public;
and (c) cancellation of notes which have been issued by a
Government enterprise and are held by the Treasury,
where the cancellation restores or increases the authority
to spend from debt receipts.
Reappropriations and reauthorizations are actions to
continue available part or all of the unused balance of a
prior appropriation or authorization which would other
wise expire.
Total new obligational authority shown in tables 2 and 5
is the sum of the various types of authorizations named,
less the portion of appropriations which is merely for
liquidation of prior contract authorizations. This total
represents the new authority becoming available for the
purpose of making commitments in any given year.
RELATING EXPENDITURES TO AUTHORIZATIONS
The last section of table 2 and all of table 7 are devoted
to summarizing the relationship between budget author
izations and budget expenditures. Most budget author
izations are available for obligation for only 1 year, but
some are available for longer periods of time. Even those
which expire for obligational purposes at the end of 1 year
remain available for making expenditures in payment of
such obligations for an additional 2 years. Therefore, a
substantial portion of each year’s expenditures comes
from authorizations of prior years, and a substantial
portion of each year’s authorizations is carried over into
future years before it is spent.
Because old and new money are commingled in some of
the accounts, no attempt is made in the summary figures
to separate actual spending in 1951 between the old and
the new authorizations. However, the Budget presents
such a breakdown on an estimated basis for 1952 and 1953.
In the case of business enterprise and revolving funds, it
assumes that budget authorizations are expended in an
amount equal to the portion credited to the revolving fund
during the year. The remainder of the revolving fund
expenditures (or expenditure credits) are not related to
budget authorizations, and are here classified as being
charges or credits to “ receipts of the enterprise.”
CLASSIFICATIONS
Budget receipts shown in table 1 are classified according
to source. A more detailed itemization of this classifica
tion appears in Special Analysis C of part IV.
Expenditures and authorizations are classified by func
tions in tables 1 and 2, as in the Budget Message. This
classification indicates the broad purposes and groups of
programs for which expenditures are made by the Govern
ment. A more detailed list of the contents of each func
tional category appears in Special Anatysis B of part IV.
Expenditures and authorizations are classified by major
organization unit in tables 4 through 7. This indicates the
agency which receives the budget authorization. Expend
itures are shown opposite the same agency, even though a
portion of the money is sometimes spent through alloca
tions, advances, or reimbursements made to another
agency. The details for each organization unit are found
in part II of the Budget.
ACCOUNT RECLASSIFICATION
Since the issuance of the last Budget, a number of
accounts have been reclassified from one fund group to
another in order that they can be included in the fund
category where they properly belong. For comparability
in this Budget, such reclassified accounts are shown for the
year 1951 in the same fund group and in the same manner
as they are now classified for 1952 and 1953. This neces
sarily has caused minor differences between the figures
presented here and the amounts shown in other Govern
ment reports for the past year.

budgetary authorizations, the table assumes that any
budgetary authorizations for such funds are spent in an
am ount equal to the portion o f the authorization actually
credited to the revolving fund during the year. Therefore,
the lines here for expenditures from appropriations or
other budgetary authorizations include paym ents to busi
ness enterprise and revolvin g funds.
Th e lines here for expenditures charged (or credited) to
receipts o f the enterprise consist on ly of the portion o f
the total expenditures o f the enterprise, n ot already
chargeable to the budget authorizations. This is in con
trast to the detailed schedule w hich follow s, where expen
ditures ou t o f budget authorizations and ou t o f revolvin g
fund receipts are m erged into a single set o f figures for
each business enterprise.

T IT L E
A double-page spread lists the organization units and
account titles for the chapter, and shows the b u d get
authorizations and expenditures fo r each. T h e accounts
are divided into several sections: C urrent authorizations
other than business enterprise and revolvin g funds, per
m anent authorizations, business enterprise and revolvin g
funds, and supplem ental item s (other than p a y increases)
proposed for later transmission. S u p p le m e n ta l for p a y
increases are set forth in separate colum ns in the same
portion of the statem ent as the regular authorizations to
which th ey relate.
Special types o f authorizations are set forth under the
applicable appropriation titles, identified b y separate
stub entries.
F unctional cod e num bers appear in a
separate colum n, indicating the category in the B udget
M essage and in the functional tables where each accou n t
shown here has been included.
A separate group o f headings is used for business
enterprise and revolving funds. T his portion o f the table
shows the total am ounts p rovided b y operations, the
total am ounts applied to operations and the net expendi
tures (which is the difference betw een the tw o other
figures just nam ed). In the case o f the few funds included
here which are solely of an accounting nature (such as the
accounts o f advances for the D epartm en t of D efense),
the gross figures are n o t shown under funds provid ed and
funds applied, but the net expenditure figure is placed in
the appropriate colum n.

*Headings in the narrative statements usually
agree withtheschedules of obligations by activi
ties.
_ Executivedirection, administrativeservices, and
similar common overhead activities are merely
listed, except whenthere issome unusual circum
stancetobe explained.
Permanent positions are those of a full-time
nature whichareof indefiniteduration. They in
clude positions which may be filled by persons
withtemporaryappointments.
Average salaries andaverage grades are com
puted arithmetically. The average salary may
fall eitherwithinoroutsidethesalaryrangeof the
average grade.
^ Employment inpart-time positions andthose of
a seasonal natureorof short duration is included
here.
Payments fortheextradayor days inexcess of
52 weeks per year, overtime, night-workdifferen
tial, holidaypay, etc., areincludedhere.
Obligations refer to orders placed, contracts
awarded, and services received during the year,
regardless of the time of payment. Appropria
tions or other obligational authority must be pro
vided by the Congress before obligations can be
incurred.
Sincethetotal of obligations includesthereim
bursable items, but the expenditure figures are
necessarily net of reimbursements (primarily to
avoidduplicateaccountingfortheGovernmentas
a whole), itisnecessaryto deduct reimbursements
inarrivingat expenditurefigures.
_ Obligations which have been incurred but not
yet paidareestimatedasclosely as possible, but
the eventual payment may be inaslightlydiffer
ent amount from the obligation first reported.
This line indicates the difference arising fromthis
cause.
^ Thisisanexample wheresuccessiveannual ap
propriations are made. If appropriations of two
or more years were merged under the law, a
single figure would appear in the 1951 column
for expenditures out of both current and prior

T h e L ibrary’s first obligation is to Congress; the second
to other agencies of the G overn m en t; and the third to
other libraries, scholars, investigators, and the general
public.
In addition to funds appropriated annually b y Congress,
there are also available a num ber of gift and trust funds,
working, transferred, and allocated funds.
Certain responsibilities for the physical equipm ent,
maintenance, and operation of the L ibrary buildings rest
b y law with the A rch itect of the Capitol, and estimates for
these purposes are carried under the request of that office.
F o r the general and basic services, the m a jor ob jective
in 1953 will b e to enable the Library to acquire, process,
and give reference service on the m uch greater volum e and
variety of materials it m ust collect in order to m eet the
vastly enlarged inform ational needs of the Congress and
Federal agencies under present w orld con dition s; to
strengthen the staff p rovidin g reference service on the
areas that h ave becom e critical in the present em ergency;
to m eet the increased service dem and resulting from the
creation of m any new agencies; and to gradually reduce
accum ulated arrearages that preven t full use of materials
already on hand. Som e additions to the staff are proposed
fo r a few operations which are threatened w ith a serious
breakdow n. N o new p rojects are proposed. F o r the
specialized services, the objectives in 1953 will b e the
strengthening of the staff, organization, and techniques to
m eet the dem ands o f Congress (Legislative R eference
Service) and o f the p u b lic (copyright, catalog card dis

ANALYSIS OF EXPENDITURES
1951 actual
A pproxim ately 70 percent o f this appropriation for the
printing o f catalog cards and related publications is charge
able to the cost of card and publication sales, and this cost,
plus 10 percent profit, is returned to the Treasury; the
remaining 30 percent represents service to the Library
o f Congress. I t is planned in 1953 to keep pace w ith the
anticipated increase in the num ber o f titles cataloged,
and to publish a 5-year cum ulation o f the A u th or Catalog.
1. Card printing j o r the Library o j Congress.— The
num ber o f cards printed in 1951 for the L ibrary of
Congress was 4,293,453; estim ated for 1952, 4,300,000,
and, for 1953, 4,900,000.
2. Card printing jo r other libraries.— The num ber o f
cards printed in 1951 for sale to other libraries was 27,782,010; estim ated for 1952, 28,459,225; for 1953, 36,467,075. Th e estim ated increase in the num ber o f cards
printed is based in large part on the estim ated increase in
the num ber o f titles to be cataloged b y the larger catalog
ing staff requested to cut dow n current cataloging ar
rearages.
3. P rinting and binding the Author Catalog.— The
A u th or C atalog is a b ook catalog o f the cards printed b y
the L ibrary of Congress arranged b y author. It is issued
m on th ly and cum ulated quarterly and annually. It is
planned to issue a 5-year cum ulation in fiscal 1953 in
lieu o f the annual issue for calendar 1952. The quin
quennial issue will bring together in one alphabet the
entries in the 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951 annual issues and
the titles cataloged in 1952. There were 862 paid sub
scriptions for cpm plete or partial service in 1951; it is
estim ated there will be 875 in 1952 and 890 in 1953.
The A rm y M ed ica l L ibrary A u th or C atalog is an annual
supplem ent to the A u th or C atalog which lists the cards
m ultilithed b y the L ibrary o f Congress from co p y sup
plied b y the A rm y M edical L ibrary. A lthough it is
officially a supplem ent to the A u th or C atalog it has since
1948 been published and sold as a separate item . There
were 240 copies sold in 1951; it is estimated that 250
will be sold in 1952 and 260 in 1953.
4. Printing and binding the Subject Catalog.— The Sub
je ct C atalog is a book catalog reproducing cards printed
b y the L ibrary of Congress and arranged according to
su bject content of the publications represented. It is
cum ulated quarterly and annually. There were 383
paid subscriptions for 1951; it is estim ated there will be
390 in 1952 and 400 in 1953.
5. Printing and binding o j publications related to cata
loging.— These publications are auxiliary to the cataloging
activities o f the L ibrary o f Congress and include the
Classification Schedules, Lists o f Su bject H eadings, Rules
o f D escriptive C ataloging, C ataloging Service Bulletins,
and similar publications. A slight reduction in the p u b
lication program is anticipated for 1952 and 1953 as
com pared w ith 1951.

PROGRAM AND P ERFO RM AN CE
The mutual security program embodies military,
economic, and technical assistance to other nations that
will enable them most effectively to make their respective
contributions to the common effort to maintain the
security of the free world. To this end, the foreign-aid
programs conducted under earlier legislation were merged
into a unified program under the Mutual Security Act of
1951. The individual components of the unified pro
gram are not new. These components include the mutual
defense assistance program for military aid, the European
recovery program for helping Europe to reestablish
economic stability and rebuild its productive power; the
international development program for furnishing of
technical “ know-how” to economically underdeveloped
countries; and contributions to similar technical assist
ance programs carried on by the United Nations and the
Organization of American States. The most important
characteristic of the unified program is the predomi
nance of military assistance and the correlation of eco
nomic aid with this purpose.
Appropriations and other authorizations made under
existing legislation from the inception of the programs
through June 30, 1952, approximate $25.8 billion, roughly
divided between $12.4 billion for military assistance and
$13.4 billion for economic (including technical) assist
ance. Appropriations for 1952 total $7.3 billion.
1.
Military assistance.— Military assistance under the
act of 1951 is designed to correlate the provision of United
States military equipment and supplies with the raising
and training of forces within the aided countries. I a
addition, this assistance provides for supplementary
training through United States schools and training per
sonnel to assure effective use of the materials furnished
and for needed maintenance, parts, and spares.
Under title I of the act of 1951, programs are developed
by Military Assistance Advisory Groups (MAAG’s) com
posed of members of the United States military services
stationed in each European country, including certain
countries not in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
From information provided to the M A AG’s on the size and
nature of the units in being and to be formed in the time
covered, total supply requirements are determined. These
are reduced by (a) the supplies and equipment owned by
the country, on order, or within its production achieved
with economic aid; (6) the undelivered supplies and equip
ment included for the country in the mutual defense as
sistance programs for 1950, 1951, and 1952; and (c) equip
ment and supplies which, in the judgment of the MAAG,
can be provided by purchase or otherwise from the coun
try’s resources. The programs are screened by a Joint
American Military Advisory Group (JAMAG), other
United States staff agencies located in London, and the
military departments in Washington, using criteria set by
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The military assistance programs for Greece and Tur
key (title II) are to be continued to maximize the military
potential of these countries. The estimate includes
authorization to provide military assistance to the forces
of other Middle East countries, specifically Iran.
Military assistance in the area of eastern and south
eastern Asia under title III is designed to aid in the preser
vation of national independence and maintenance of se
curity in the countries near the Communist-controlled
mainland of China. The programs for these countries
contemplate the provision of military equipment and
technical guidance to the forces of the Republic of the
Philippines, the National Republic of China, and Thailand,
and in Indochina to the French as well as the native
forces.
The military assistance program for South American
countries (title IV) will provide for the rehabilitation and
repair of equipment already on hand, and thereafter for
limited additional equipment under a hemispheric defense
plan developed multilaterally by the Inter-American De
fense Board. In addition, for a number of the countries
whose economic condition makes it possible, reimbursable
FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO TH E P R E SID E N T
military assistance will continue under the Mutual Defense
Assistance Act of 1949.
The training activities are to assure the maintenance and
use of existing United States type of equipment.
2. Economic and technical assistance: Europe (title I )—
(a) Country aid.—As a result of previous aid and other
developments, the European dollar gap was reduced from
a $7 billion level in 1947 to $2.5 in 1951. But the necessity
for accelerated rearmament of the West has forced the
countries of Western Europe to undertake larger defense
programs than their recuperating economies can yet sus
tain without assistance. Defense expenditures of the nine
European North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
countries have increased from the equivalent of $4.4 bil
lion in fiscal year 1950 to $5.2 billion in 1951 and an esti
mated $8 billion in 1952. During 1953, European NATO
defense budgets will take another sharp jump. Over $500
million in counterpart funds will be released to Western
European countries in 1952 for financing their military
production programs.
United States economic aid to the NATO countries is
now allocated on the basis of defense commitments under
taken by these countries. Furthermore, in collaboration
with the Department of Defense, military production pro
grams are being developed for each country, integrating
national procurement schedules with NATO requirements
and United States offshore procurement. At least 10 per
cent of the economic aid to be extended to European coun
tries in 1953 will be provided on credit terms; the balance
will be made available as a direct grant.
(ib) European Payments Union capital fund.—The Euro
pean Payments Union (EPU) is a financial institution
through which members of the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation settle trade surpluses and deficits
with one another. The aftermath of Korea and the
accelerated rearmament of the West have produced large
and rapid fluctuations in the balance of payments of the
member countries. Steps to achieve an interim adjust
ment have been taken, and further corrective measures
are under consideration now.
(c) lechnical assistance.—This assistance will continue
on the basis of specific requests for the services of United
States technicians, for study and training in the United
States, and for scientific and technical information. Local
currency costs of projects, borne by participating countries,
will considerably exceed dollar costs on the basis of past
experience. Observation of American practices by the
Europeans since the start of the program is leading to a
more fundamental approach for further increasing Euro
pean productivity.
(d) Emigration of surplus manpower.—Funds will be
utilized to encourage emigration from participating
countries to areas where such manpower can be effectively
utilized. An amount of $10 million will be made available
to an interim organization being formed to keep intact and
utilize facilities formerly operated by the International
Refugee Organization. It is expected that the United
States contribution will approximate one-third of the total
funds to be contributed by participating countries.
(e) Ocean freight—voluntary relief packages.—Although
the ocean freight subsidy on gift packages via parcel post,
commercial channels, and on certain categories of CARE
food packages has been discontinued to all European
countries except Austria, Greece, Italy, and Trieste, vol
untary nonprofit relief agencies continue to receive reim
bursement of ocean freight charges on supplies shipped to
ECA-grant countries which have concluded relief agree
ments.
81
(f) Basic materials development.—Funds are used in
countries where Mutual Security Agency economic and
technical assistance programs are being conducted to
increase the production of raw materials in which the
United States is actually or potentially deficient. In
addition, direct purchases of such materials for the United
States stockpile are made with 5 percent local currency
counterpart funds.
(g) Confidential funds.—Expenditures of a confidential
character other than entertainment may be made upon
certification by the Administrator or Deputy Administra
tor.
3. Near East and Africa (title IT)— (a) Special technical
and economic aid.—Funds are for projects mainly in the
fields of agriculture, health, and transportation, together
with a program designed to stimulate an improvement in
the living standards in underdeveloped areas.
(b) Bilateral technical cooperation.—This is to assist the
governments in the underdeveloped areas of the world
(Latin America, the Near East and Africa, and South
Asia) in eliminating or reducing the present handicaps to
economic development. Primary attention will be given
to increasing food production.
(c) Palestine refugee program.—The Palestine Refugee
Agency undertakes to find homes and jobs for Palestine
refugees and continues relief operations. Since May 1950,
it has provided subsistence rations for over 850,000
refugees, prevented serious outbreaks of epidemic diseases,
provided employment for many thousands of refugees on
useful public-works projects, supported a primary-school
program for refugee children, and provided technical
training. The estimate provides for making available the
$50 million appropriated for fiscal year 1952 to continue
the work undertaken by the Agency.
(d) Relief of refugees coming into Israel.— The act of
1951 authorized expenditure of a sum not to exceed
$50,000,000 for specific refugee relief and resettlement
projects in Israel. It is proposed to provide direct relief
in the form of consumer goods to maintain a minimum
ration and to implement long-term economic aid projects
in such areas as agriculture, industry, housing, and public
health through purchase of equipment and extension of
technical assistance. An integral part of the program
will be the matching contribution by the Government of
Israel, this Israeli pound fund will be placed under joint
Israeli United States control.
4. Asia and Pacific (title I I I ) — (a) Special technical and
economic aid.—Funds to the six countries of southeast
Asia (Republic of China on Formosa, the Philippines, the
Associated States of Indochina, Burma, Indonesia, and
Thailand) consist in varying proportions of (1) projects
mainly in the fields of agriculture, health, and transporta
tion and emergency war relief; (2) commodities (mostly
producer goods) supplied for sale to maintain essential
supplies and to obtain the local currency counterpart
needed to finance the local costs of the projects; (3) sup
port of military assistance programs, including (i) “ common-use” items (such as petroleum products, food for
troops, and certain construction materials for barracks
and airfields); (ii) additional salable commodities to help
cushion the local inflationary impact of the military
assistance effort, and (iii) additional projects of military
importance such as improvement of roads, bridges, and
harbors.
(b)
Ocean freight—voluntary relief packages.— Ocean
transportation charges are paid on relief packages sent
from the United States by individuals and by American
nonprofit agencies.

PROGRAM AND P ERF O RM AN CE
Under section 304 (b) of the Defense Production Act of
1950, designated agencies are authorized, with Presidential
approval, to incur obligations of $2.1 billion largely for
the purpose of making loans and procuring critical
materials in furtherance of the defense effort. The
obligations are financed by borrowings from the Treasury.
The 1951 amendments to the act permit commitments in
excess of $2.1 billion so long as ultimate costs do not
exceed this amount. Programs undertaken must be
certified as essential to the national defense by either the
Defense Production Administrator, the Secretary of
Agriculture, or the Administrator of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
As of November 30, 1951, authorized borrowings were
as follows:

Gross trans
actions
The difference between the borrowing authority required
and the ultimate net cost represents working capital
needed to finance loans, advances to contractors, inventory
purchases, etc. Following is a description of programs
which were financed by borrowings through November 30,
1951.
Department oj Agriculture.— The purchase and resale of
agricultural commodities, except forest products, are car
ried !out by the Commodity Credit Corporation which is
reimbursed for the net costs involved. The Production
and Marketing Administration has been delegated the re
sponsibility for certifying loans for increasing plant capac
ity to process or store agricultural commodities, except for
forest products.
During fiscal year 1951, Commodity Credit Corporation
stocks of linseed and tung oil were reserved for defense
needs. In addition, programs were initiated to increase
supplies of castor beans and kenaf seed and fiber. During
fiscal year 1952 these two programs will be expanded and
new programs will be initiated to assure supplies of long
staple cottonseed and sansevieria fiber. It is also con
templated that stocks of gum turpentine and rosin of the
Commodity Credit Corporation will be reserved for de
fense purposes during fiscal year 1952. Certification of
loans to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will be
expanded during fiscal year 1952.
Net realized loss on purchase and resale operations
through June 30, 1952, is estimated at $7,664,000. Loans
were certified to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
totaling $310,000 during fiscal year 1951, and are estimated
to amount to $47 million during fiscal year 1952, primarily
due to increased fertilizer production.
Department ojthe Interior.—Certifications to the Depart
ment through November 30, 1951, have been limited to the
exploration and development of strategic and critical min
erals and metals for which an allocation of $10 million has
been made to the Defense Minerals Exploration Adminis
tration.
As of November 30, 1951, 216 exploration projects had
been approved in which the Government’s share of ex
penditures totals $6,665,000 against a total cost of $11,163,000. Additional projects to be financed by the bal
ance of $3,335,000 of the $10 million already allocated are

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1953
EXPANSION OF DEFENSE PRODUCTION— Con.
A. Statement of sources and application of funds— Continued
Revolving Fund, Defense Production Act— Continued
expected^to; number 110 with a total valuation of $5,500,000. It is expected that an additional $20 million will
be allocated by June 30, 1952.
Defense Materials Procurement Agency.—As of Novem
ber 30, 1951, programs amounting to $807,295,000 had
been certified for procurement of defense materials includ
ing aluminum, copper, cobalt, lead, manganese, mag
nesium, molybdenum, mica, nickel, tungsten, zinc, rubber,
and machine tools. Of this amount, $260,000,000 is for
the machine tool pool order and equipment installation
programs, $200,000,000 for the rubber program, and the
balance of $347,295,000 for other mineral and metal
programs.
It is anticipated that an additional
$287,148,000 will be certified by June 30, 1952.
In addition to contracting for procurement, and giving
financial assistance to contractors by advances or guar
anteeing loans, the agency certifies direct loans to be made
by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the
Export-import Bank, and participates in determinations
for the issuance of accelerated tax amortization certificates.
Reconstruction Finance Corporation.—The Corporation
has been allocated $275 million for loans under the Defense
Production Act. Of this amount, $250 million is for facil
ity expansion loans which must be certified by the Defense
Production Administrator or the Secretary of Agriculture
or their delegates. The remaining $25 million is for
working capital loans which may be made by the Admin
istrator of the Corporation without certification from other
agencies. Of the $250 million, $183 million is expected to
be disbursed by June 30, 1952, for the following: (a) Agri
cultural commodities, $5 million; (b) expansion of minerals
and metals supply or productive capacity, $120 million;
(c) machine tool industry expansion, $10 million; and (d)
other industries, $48 million. No working capital loans
had'been|committed by November 30, 1951.
Administrative expenses.—During 1951 and 1952, the
administrative expenses of the Defense Materials Pro
curement Agency and the Reconstruction Finance Corpo
ration relating to programs authorized by sections 302 and
303 of the Defense Production Act were paid from borrow
ing authority. The expenses relating to programs carried
on by the Defense Minerals Administration of the Depart
ment of the Interior were paid from appropriations made
to the Secretary of Interior. Up to November 30, 1951,
no administrative expenses had been incurred by the
Department of Agriculture or the Export-import Bank.
The amounts shown in statement A for administrative
expenses are for the Defense Materials Procurement
Agency and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation based
on programs certified through November 30, 1951. Dur
ing 1953 it is proposed that the borrowing authority be
used to pay the administrative expenses of all agencies
engaged in carrying on programs financed from the
authority, in order to provide a consistent pattern of
financing the administrative expenses of these programs.

Section 111 (b) of Public Law 472, Eightieth Congress,
as amended, authorizes the Director of Mutual Security
to issue industrial investment (including forward con
tracting) and informational media guaranties up to
$200,000,000 to stimulate the flow of private capital into
projects abroad which further the purposes of that law.
This authority has been supplemented by section 520 of
the Mutual Security Act of 1951 (Public Law 165), which
makes guaranty funds available for investment in any
country eligible to receive assistance under the Mutual
Security Act. In addition to the $200,000,000 borrowing
authority, net fees collected increase funds available for
obligation.

Industrial investment guaranties.—By the end of fiscal
1951, a total of $30,369,504 guaranties had been issued,
of which $28,559,018 were outstanding. Of the amount
outstanding, $28,084,018 were against the risks of incon
vertibility of local currency receipts from investments;
one guaranty for $225,000 was against the risk of loss by
expropriation and confiscation; and one guaranty for

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT
$250,000 covered forward contracting for the furnishing
of capital goods items and related services.
From the inception of the guaranty program until Oc
tober 31, 1951, no disbursements had been made under
any of these guaranties and a total of $427,942 in fees
had been collected.
Increase in the number of guaranties resulting from the
1950 amendment to the Economic Cooperation Act (Public
Law 535), which broadens the scope of the act to include
investments of such intangibles as patents, processes, and
techniques, as well as to cover the risk of loss from expro
priation or confiscation, is presently just beginning to be
felt. Authority in the Mutual Security Act of 1951 (Pub
lic Law 165, sec. 520) to use guaranty funds in areas
provided for in that act is expected to further increase
guaranty activity.
Injormational media guaranties.— The Director is au
thorized to issue guaranties up to $10,000,000 in any fiscal
year against nontransferability of funds in connection with
American investments in enterprises producing or distrib
uting informational media. As of October 31, 1951,
$4,317,134 disbursements have been made against the
guaranties, and $158,987 in fees have been collected.

The objectives of the Institute of Inter-American
Affairs are to further the general welfare of the American
Republics by carrying out cooperative programs in tech
nical fields such as public health, agriculture, and educa
tion. In addition to funds appropriated to the Institute,
participating countries contribute to the cooperative
programs.
The major activities of the Corporation are conducted in
accordance with the terms of agreements entered into with
the governments of the other American Republics. These
agreements provide for program operation by a coopera
tive service, which is a part of the appropriate ministry
(health, agriculture, or education) of the host government
and is headed by the chief of the Institute’s field party.
Both the cooperating republic and the Institute contribute
funds, materials, services, and facilities.

Expansion in the activities of the Institute which
occurred in 1951 is not reflected in the following statements
since it was financed by allocations under the international
development appropriation. During 1951, the corporate
fund financed programs which had been in operation in
1950.
The Institute has authority to operate until 1955 (act
of September 3, 1949, Public Law 283), and the funds for
its 1952 programs are included in the mutual security
appropriation. An indication of the Institute’s 1953
program plans will be submitted at a laterdate.

Mutual security (under proposed legislation, 1953).—
Appropriations totaling $7.9 billion are included in this
budget for 1953 under proposed legislation for continua
tion of the mutual security program (authorized in fiscal
1952 by Public Law 165, 82d Cong.) of military, economic,
and technical assistance. The detailed program pro
posals for each of the three types of assistance, broken
down by major geographic areas of the world, will be
presented to the Congress within a few weeks. The bulk
of the^ funds requested will be used to assist friendly
countries in strengthening their defenses, through fur
nishing military materiel from the United States, financing
additional military production in the countries themselves,
and providing the economic aid necessary to permit them
to undertake increased national defense expenditures.
The request also includes amounts to finance other inter
national programs essential to the security of the United
States.

PROGRAM AND P ERFO RM AN CE
As the central personnel agency of the Government, the
Civil Service Commission holds examinations, certifies
eligibles to fill vacancies in the Federal service, and deter
mines the character and suitability of applicants for such
employment. It also administers the Classification Act of
1949 and the retirement system under the act of 1920, as
amended.
1.
Examining, placement, and veterans’ preference.—
From December 1, 1950, on, most appointments are being
made on a temporary-indefinite basis. The use of com
petitive examinations will be continued, except that where
there are not enough qualified applicants the Commission
will authorize noncompetitive examination procedures and
standards. The recruiting facilities of the Commission and
its agency boards and committees of examiners will be fully
utilized in making temporary-indefinite appointments.
Veterans are aided in securing the benefits to which they
are entitled under law. The Commission also inspects
personnel activities carried on by agencies subject to its
review. The increase is to bring more appointments under
the competitive examining procedure and to increase the
number and scope of agency inspections.

making of loyalty checks and inquiries on new appointees,
and the establishment of regional loyalty boards to
adjudicate loyalty cases and of a central loyalty board to
review decisions of the regional and agency boards. In
addition, investigations are made of applicants for certain
positions in the Federal service, including postmasters and
the higher-grade administrative and technical positions.

ess applications for price adjustm ents to relieve hard
ships and to con form w ith the provisions o f the D efense
P rodu ction A ct o f 1950, as am ended. This w orkload is

PROGRAM AND PERFORMANCE
Direct Obligations
Funds provided for m odification o f existing structures
and construction of single-purpose structures are appor
tioned to the States on a statutory form ula and equally
m atched b y them. N eed, location, and design o f the
shelters are subject to review b y the Adm inistration.
Criteria for such review are derived from various studies
undertaken b y governm ental and private agencies. Using
the survey manual prepared b y Federal C ivil Defense
Adm inistration, 16 critical target cities have started
shelter surveys of existing buildings, 17 have organized
for surveys, and the rem ainder are expected to start during
1952. It is estim ated that 31 million people are located
during daytim e working hours in com m ercial or industrial
zones where the need for protective shelters is greatest.
O f these, 2 million can be sheltered in existing buildings
w ithout m odification, and 14 million m ore can be sheltered
if the existing buildings are m odified; the remaining 15
million can only be sheltered if entirely new buildings are
constructed. T h e estimate provides for a start on this
program , w hich is estim ated to eventually cost $1,730
million, of which the Federal G overnm ent will pay half.

D irect obligations are estim ated to b e $8,075,000, an
increase of $1,469,450 com pared with 1952. T h e increase
is m ainly the result o f (1) defense-related needs for a
strengthened radio-m onitoring and direction-finding p ro
gram, including control of electrom agnetic radiations; and
(2) substantially increased workloads anticipated upon

PROGRAM AND PERFORMANCE
The Service, through mediation and conciliation, assists
in the prevention or settlement of labor-management
disputes affecting interstate commerce and defense pro
duction in industries other than rail and air transportation.
Obligations are estimated to be $3,579,000 in 1953, an
increase of $452,000 compared with 1952. The increase
reflects the need for additional staff to meet defense pro
duction requirements.

management disputes which involved numbers of employ

time investment in disputes is expected to be larger in
1952 and 1953 because of wage and price controls and
the rapid expansion of defense production. In addition
to the settlement of specific disputes, free collective bar
gaining and good relationships between labor and man
agement are promoted to enable them to settle their
differences directly and amicably.

The Commission seeks to maintain effective competitive
conditions and to prevent the development of monopo
listic and unfair trade practices, thus promoting high
levels of production.
1. Antimonopoly.—Monopolistic restrictions of out
put, boycotts, corporate mergers and acquisitions and
other monopolistic practices and conspiracies which re
strain trade or tend toward monopoly are prevented;
economic data are gathered about business organization
and conduct, particularly concerning monopoly and re
lated problems; and supervision is provided over the
registration and operation of associations of American
exporters engaged solely in export trade. The amend
ment to section 7 of the Clayton Act has resulted in a
considerable increase in the number of investigations.
During 1951 there were 309 investigations of monopolistic
practice completed. It is estimated that there will be 335
in 1952 and in 1953. Investigations of compliance with
Commission orders were completed in 314 cases during
1951, with about the same level anticipated for 1952 and
1953.
2. Antideceptive practices.—False and misleading ad
vertising and other unfair or deceptive practices are pre
vented by corrective action of the Commission; manufac
turers, distributors, and consumers are protected from the
evils of misbranding and nondisclosure of fiber content
with respect to manufactured wool products; consumers
and merchants are protected from deceptive and unfair
competition resulting from misbranding, false or decep
tive advertising, and false invoicing of furs and fur prod
ucts; and affirmative aid is provided to business for main
taining effective competition through industry trade
practice conferences. During 1951, 2,324 applications for
complaint werereviewed, of which 869 received full-scale in
vestigation. Follow-up on compliance with cease-and-desist orders was completed in 370 cases. Operations during
1952 and 1953 are expected to continue at the 1951 level.
