Citing with pride his own record, he said: "Military strength and domestic advancement must be based on a sound economy." Items in the Eisenhower budget...
Because the demand to enter the program probably will far exceed the available openings, Millikan sees the criteria for selection as one of the keys to its success. He recommends that only college graduates be accepted, at least during the program's first years.

...financing a shipment of Calcutta opium to Hong Kong or buying off Chinese Communist officials who have put the squeeze on the relatives of rich overseas Chinese businessmen. But the final market is most often India. Indian central bank officials estimate that India's private gold holdings exceed $3.6 billion (at the U.S. gold rate), up from $3.2 billion in 1948. The enormous trade in smuggled gold is a major reason India is chronically short of foreign exchange; one ounce of gold smuggled into India represents a loss of $35 in hard currency...
