Senator Robinson— Washington Inaugural Ceremonies Symbol of United States Growth

We probably haf' in Washington thi week more visitor for the Inaugura tion than we have had since the In a u u u r a t i o n o' Woodrow Wilson in 1912. when the Democrats felt it was their turn to

do some celebrating," writes Sen ator A Willis Robertson this week in his column of Congressional Comment. Senator Robertson points out an interesting political turn of events in showing that no Re publican member of the Senate has previously served under a Republican President, and that applies likewise to most House members (he discloses. Pointing to the contrast with earlier days, lie writes of the innuguartion: "All this was in sharp contrast with early inaugu rations. When George Washing ton was inaugurated his Secretary of State. Alexander Hamilton, handsome and well dressed as well as possessing a brilliant in tellect, wanted the occasion to be a brilliant affair. But Washing ton. desiring to encourage our infant textile industry, took the oath of office in a brown suit made in a small domestic mill. Nobody attepipted to make Thomas Jefferson's Inaugural a brilliant affair because they knew it was useless He rode iiis favorite saddlehorse from the White House to the Capitoi. practicing extreme simplicity and Remand ing it of all connected with the event. "The scene at Washington this week reflected the difference be tween thirteen small States in the days of Washington, which had but recently won their free dom from a great world power, and forty-eight States in 1953 which have become, from the standpoint of wealth and capacity to produce, tlie greatest power in the world There was probably more money represented in Washington on Inauguration Day than this or any other Capital of the world has ever known "

Budget Views Senator Robertson believes budget considerations hinge on President Eisenhower's view of the need for national uefense and security spending. On this matter, he writes: During the election campaign General Eisenhower dedicated his belief that spending during the fiscal year starting next June could be held to around $70 bil lion . After the Truman budget was presented Senator Taft again said he thought the $70 billion figure could be achieved. That would compare with a spending total of $78.6 billion proposed by ' President Truman. Last year President Truman si,tried out by asking Congress to permit $85.4 billion to be spent tins year but we rejected some of Lis proposals for new spending and by ecohomy cuts in oilier items we brought tin figure down to approximately v74.6 billion of actual spending, according to the latest Budget Bureau estimates. I: would be much more diffi cult to cut $11 billion out of the new Human budget, however, because the outgoing President did not include any allowances for the cost of proposed new legis lation All but about $10 billion of th(> Truman budget ,.s lor military services and related national se curity purposes or for such inflex ible items as interest on the na tional debt and payments which we are obligated to make to vet erans . i "We shall cut what we can out of that $10 billion but our ability to do so is limited by the fact that much i f. it is for essential things like the postal service, making and enforcing laws, collecting taxes, managing the public debt and administering federal proper ty and records "It is apparent, theiefore, that whether or not spending can be kept anywhere near the estimated federal income figure for next year of $68.7 billion will depend largely on what President Eisen hower feels we need to spend for our nation defense and security "
