Ike Confers With Cabinet Members Discuss Budget And Legislative Plans WASHINGTON flfi — President Eisenhower will meet with his cabinet twice this week to discuss the budget and legislative: program he will submit to Congress when it reconvenes in January. The first meeting was scheduled for today; the second will be held on Friday. Acting White House press secretary Anne Wheaton said “these two meetings are part of a plan to consider legislative programs and budget programs prior to legislative meetings in early December ...” The December meetings ,to which she referred inchided a bipartisan conference of Senate and House leaders shortly before the President leaves in mid-De-cember for the 15-nation NATO Council meeting in Paris. Mrs. Wheaton said the two cabinet meetings did not stem from Russia’s launching of a second earth satellite. She said they were arranged before the news of Sputnik II was released to the world. Russia’s satellite and missile advances were almost certain to figure in the budget discussions, however. The President is under strong pressure from some congressional Democrats to step up U.S. defense spending in view of the Soviet’s achievements. , Eisenhoweif will hold a news conference Wednesday which, barring unexpected developments prior to then, will be his first opportunity to discuss the latest Russian feat for the American public. t If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad— they bring results.
