WASHINGTON (AP)—President Eisenhower today challenged the heavily Democratic new Congress to meet the Communist threat by living within his 77-biIiion-d{álar budget and. working toward tax relief "in the foreseeable futorc."
In a State of the Union message outlining administration plans for building a better and stronger America in this space age of catastrophic war possibilities, the President said his formula is designed to preserve this nation's way of life.
Useless expenditures, he said, "might tend to undermine the economy and therefore the nation’s safety.”
His S.OOO-wtffd address, prepared for personal delivery at a Joint session of the Senate and House, also set forth these other Idghlight proposals calling for:
1. Enactment of new civil rights legislation to be submitted to C<m-gress soon. Without being specific about the legislation, the President
deplored closing of some public schools in the integration controversy, and pledged anew he will take every stcüon necessary to en-, force the law as interpreted by; the courts. •
2. New laws aimed at wiping] out "corruption, racketeering, and abuse of power and trust In labor-management affairs," Eisenhower expressed disappointment the last; Congress, also Democratic-control-j led, did not act in this field des-1 pite disclosures by the investigating committee headed by Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark>.
3. Amendment of tlus 1946 full employment law "to make it clear that the government intends to use all appropriate means to protect the buying power of the dollar.” The President did not specify just what he has in mind, but he again called on labor and business leaders to exercise statesmanship to curb the wage-price spiral. And he announced he will set up a Cabinet committee on price sta
bility for economic growth.
4. Passage of new farm legislation dasigned to reduce heavy federal outlays in that field eventually, and to assure "greater freedom for markets to reflect the wishes of producers and consumers."
As in the case of the others, Eisenhower went into no detail on the farm program. The specific provisions of all the programs will be set forth in a seriM of special messages to Congress in the next several weeks.
Eisenhower told Congress the nation’s economy is strong and healthy, and that the 1958 business recession is fading into history.
"Personal Income,” he said, "is at an all-time high.”
Elsenhower said his military budget will advance “a sensible pasture of defense,” along with increased efficiency and avoidance of waste.
But, he added at another point. “The basic question facing us to-
fday is more than mere survival-^ the military defense of national life and territory. It is the preservation of a way life.”
“We must meet the world challenge and at the same time permit na stagnation in America.” he said.
"Unless we prepress, we regress.”
He Mid spending will increase for health programs, federal aid for science and education, city redevelopment. and federal aid for highways.
He called also for continuation of the foreign aid program, but did not estimate its cost. The re-1 quest is expected to go higher than (the $3,700,000,000 lagged for spending tWs year.
Eisenhower did not list the domestic programs to be curtailed or dropped in his campaign to ‘achieve a i»lanced 77-billion-dollar budget. His budg^ message will go to Congress Jan. 19.

Senate Rejects Proposed Tight Curb On Filibuster
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate today turned down a key proposal designed by civil rights advocates to clear the way for a tight new curb on .filibusters.
The roll call vote was the first test of strength in the swirling battle over rules touched off with the start of the new Senate session two days ago.
It marked a striking victory f(W Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex) and other Democratic and Republican Senate leaders backing a compromise oi-fered by Johnson. ^
The count was 60-36. ^ Conversely, it was a major setback for Vice President Richard M. Nixon and a bipartisan anUr filibuster bloc of northern and western senators.
The vote came on a motion by Johnson to table and thus kill a resolution by Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-NM). Anderson’s aim was to establish tiiat each new Senate has the right to adopt its own rules by majority vote at the start of a session.
The anti-filibuster forces were •till far from giving up.
They said that if they lost out on this first round, they would at-temirt to change more to their liking a comprtnnise antifilibuster resolution of Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex).
It was Johnson who offered the motion to table Anderson's proposal.
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY), one of the coalition leaders, said the showdown on Johnson’s tabling motion would be "the decisive vote on this whole questiim.”
Opponents of a change in Senate rules contend that adoption of Anderson’s motion would leave the Senate without any rules and open up a Pandora’s Box confusion.
In a move to counter that argument, the coalition forces planned to revise the,, proposal somewhat before the showdown vote.
Specifically, It would be revised to read that the rules of the Senate in the last Congress shall prevail in the new 86th Congress except for Rule 22, the antifilibuster rule.
Another new section would spell out that immediately following adoption of the resolution, the next order of business in the Senate would be to consider the revision of Rule 22.
Leaders of the coalition generally are urging that Rule 22 be overhauled to permit filibusters to be cut off by the votes of 50 senators, or a majority of all 98 senators.
Under the present rule, it takes the votes of 66 senators, or two-thirds of the entire membership, to brina a deviate to a halt and force an issue to a vote.
Superintendent Rose Authorized To Map School Expansion Plans
Greenville’s City Board of Education. warned that city schools could have more than 7,000 students in another dozen years, began planning last night for the anticipated increase.
Superintendent J.H. Rose was instructed to proceed with formation of final plans, including financing, of a four-room addition at Elmhurst School and, also, to begin a study of a prt^posed addition at South Greenville School. In addition, a three-member committee was appointed to investigate and survey available properties as sites for a new junior high school for white students and a new senior high school for Negroes.
The four-room addition at Elmhurst, an elementary school for
white children, has been under Literary Fund to help finance the consideration for sometime. Last construction, night’s action authorizes Rose to!

A breakdown of that figure shows that white schools have increased their enrollment by 1,175 while Negro schools’ enrollment has cUmbed 480.
The superintendent's estimates of school enfoUmenis in the next three years Include 5,149 for 1959, 5,513 for I960 and 3.8» for 1961. Most of the increases in the next two years, he said, will be in junior and senior high schools.
