L.T.-DELCO. THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1955 GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY: Here's an opt1m1et1c diepatch from Washington. The Eisenhower administration thinke it can balance the budget, soon. The Secretary of the Treasury reporting that the government now expecte a smaller deficit. In January, President Eisenhower told Congress - we•d run into the red this year to the tune of two billion, tour hundred million. Which figure he now revisee d~wnward - to one billion, seven hundred million. The deficit smaller by seven hundred million. Secretary Humphrey said the reaeon for the good newe - wae a huge increase in federal tax collections. The Treasury - taking in much more money, ae a reeult of the bueineee boom, which ie now on. All - pointing to a balanced budget. With the hope - or a tax cut in Nineteen Fifty-six. EISENHOWER KISS Who k i s~e Presi ent Eisenhower? Yester ay, at hiladelp hia, a lady i n the crowd leaned over an d g ave the Pres i dent - a smack on the cheek . She now turns out to be Mrs. Mar Copelin, wife of a P hil a elphia lawyer. An sh 0 says - she had presi!Ential ,ma permission. Mrs. Copelin wa s in the front line, behind a guard rope, as the President passed. She leaned over to h im, he shook her han d - an d she asked: ''Mr. President, would you please let ? ti me get a peck of your cheek. She says he smiled, and the kiss followed. Sounds all right. A strange lady shouldn't kiss a President without his permission.
