| Description | Cartoon shows the new Republican Budget Director Joseph Dodge, holding clippers (labeled "Administration's Economy Drive") about to prune small branches (labeled "Federal Hiring," "Building Projects," and "Non- essentials") from a massive tree labeled "Gov't Spending." Reflects Dodge's announcement on February 3, freezing government hiring and the initiation of new government building projects. This was viewed as the first step in fulfilling the Republican pledge during the 1952 presidential election to reduce government expenditures. |
