Commenting on the president’s statement, George said: “I don’t see how it leaves any leeway for a tax reduction.” i Some House leaders, however, clung to a hope they will pass a tax cut this year, although they ; agreed with the President that; tax reductions should not be con- sidered until a balanced budget is | in sight. | Republican leader Halleck (Ind) | said in an interview, “I still wouldn’t rule out any chance of} a tax reduction. I don’t think there } will be any big fight with the: administration but we may cut appropriations even below the administration requests.” { ‘And House Speaker Joseph Mar | the tin (R-Mass) said: “T’m still hopeful we can make the appropriation cuts that wil! justify a tax reduction.” MRS.

DIAL 2-706) But the Ohio Senator said in an interview he doubts that any firm estimates will be given Congress in Present session on federal spehding, which he said “will de- termine tax policy and whether there is a deficit.” Many Republicans promised a balanced budget and reduced levies in last year’s political campaign, but Eisenhower has said he made no pledge to cut. taxes. Eisenhower announced he will ask Congress to vote 8% billion dollars less than the $72,900,000,000 new appropriations former President Truman had recom- ; mended for the coming year, But Eisenhower declined to say sented in actual savings at the Treasury's pay-out window, al- though Rep. Short (R-Mo) pre- viously had estimated the amount at $4,400.000,000. It is the Treasury's actual in- come and outgo—not what Con- gtess appropriates for this and future years—that determines! whether the budget is balanced. The government can spend more than is appropriated because more than 100 billions voted in previous years has not yet been paid out.

Eisenhower insisted that reduc- tions in requests for military funds would be made without hampering a long-range program “calling for | a steady and adequate flow of men }and materials to present a posi- tion of genuine strength to any would be aggressor.”” He reiterated in this connection that economy must be secondary | to military security and insisted armed forces strength will be built up next year, despite spending cuts, | Thomas Finletter, former secre-! }tary of the Air Force, said in a New York speech he had heard reports air strength may be re-! duced.
