Figures Talk. The logical man moved into office 31 years and five Administrations later. He is Rowland Roberts Hughes, 59, President Eisenhower's Director of the Budget. Dawes, dead these five years, would have been delighted to know that Hughes, who is about as far a cry from Hell 'n' Maria as a man can be, loves the job. Rowland Hughes came to Washington in 1953, a political innocent. A conscientious Christian Scientist since boyhood, he has never been known to raise his voice or slap a back-despite the swashbuckling appearance of an eyepatch that covers...
Even more remarkably, the job has evolved to the point where it is logical for Rowland Hughes. Before Dwight Eisenhower took office in 1953, he and his advisers worked out "The Great Equation" -the important relationship of maximum economic strength to military strength in fighting the cold war. Economic strength meant a drive to end inflation, and that meant an end to deficit financing. Cost-conscious, Ike was the first President to appoint his Budget Director to a permanent seat on the Cabinet and the National Security Council. Cabinet members not only make the trip to see Rowland Hughes...

Marion Folsom, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and Budget Director Rowland Hughes went in to talk about the HEW budget. Massachusetts' wise, cowlicked Representative Joe Martin, 71, Republican leader of the House, and California's pin-neat, trim (down 25 Ibs. to 208) William Knowland, minority leader of the Senate, went in for separate conferences on legislation, with incidental attention to politics. Each talked to the President about what...
...continued growth of the U.S. economy, the Administration last week came close to outright prediction that tax revenues, higher than estimated, plus careful cost-cutting, can wipe out the $1.7 billion federal deficit and balance the budget. After discussing proposed 1957 expenses with the President at Gettysburg, Budget Director Rowland Hughes told reporters that the Government's income should match its estimated $63 billion outgo, not only in 1957 but in the current fiscal year ending June...
