‘Blend Of Success, Failure Is Expected As Outcome Of Eisenhower, Churchill Talks. By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER | WASHINGTON uw — A blend of successes and failures in resolving differences seemed destined to fol- low today’s windup of the talks on atomic age problems by President Eisenhower and Prime Churchill. . The prospect was that some an- it is understood the President and the Prime Minister failed to reach any decisive agreement for quick are be At the same time there was Teason to believe Eisenhower and Churchill had agreed to press for prompt French ratification of the European Defense Community Treaty, under which West Ger- many would be armed. It was also understood that they had agreed that no effort is too great which promises constructive results of: lifting from the world the dangers of an atomic war. Officials said today’s program was subject to change should the President and Prime Minister de- cide they needed more time to work on the problems which have occupied their attention almost constantly since Churchill arrived here Friday morning. This meant that issuance of a final commu- nique could go over until to- morrow. “But the program called for Churchill to say goodby at the White House immediately before going to an afternoon press lunch, to move into the British Embassy for an overnight stay and to take off for a flying visit with Canadian government officials at Ottawa to- morrow afternoon. Yesterday was a working day like any other for Eisenhower, Churchill, Secretary of State Dulles and Foreign Secretary Eden as well as their staffs. There was an hour’s private talk between Churchill and Dulles followed by a White House lunch meeting with atomic energy officials of both countries..In the afternoon the ‘the President and the 79-year- old Prime Minister met for a one- hour talk. Dulles and Eden with their top advisers met at Dulles’ home. Last night the group dined at the White House and Dilues and Eden gave their chiefs a report on what they had been able to accomplish in their afternoon session, which included work on the commu- nique. Such word as was available from various diplomatic sources pointed to a continuing disagreement over the timing of action on Southeast Asian security. But authorities said that unquestionably the conferees had made progress toward an un- derstanding. This suggested that they have explored the conditions under which an alliance might- be quickly formed once the outcome of Indochina peace negotiations, now being chiefly conducted by the French and the Indochinese Com- munists, is known. ‘Advance speculation was that the communique would stress an in- terest on the part of Great Britain in security measures for Southeast Asia. The United States had hoped that Britain would join in calling an in- ternational conference designed to work out.some security alliance among nations interested in the area, But Britain has balked at negotiating any such alliance until Split On Tax Revision Bill Likely To Give Ike Victory By JOE HALL WASHINGTON (# — A three-way split among Senate Democrats over the big tax revision bill ap- peared likely today to give Presi- dent Eisenhower a clear-cut vic- tory on the measure — one of the biggest items on his 1954 program, Floor debate opened in the Senate today withthe feaders hopeful of pushing the huge measure through by Friday night. The House has okayed the bill, which would not change major taxes but would cut taxes receipts $1,400,000,000 in its first year of operation. Majority Leader Knowland of California has announced ‘extra- long sessions for the week. He is holding out the promise of a three- way holiday over the Fourth of duly if the bill is passed by Friday. Both Knowland and Sen. Milliken (R—Colo), chairman of the Finance Committee and floor manager for the measure, are predicting that the measure will be passed as the administration wants it. What shape the measure takes is expected to have a bearing on another bill soon to be asked for Congress: a proposal to raise the 2%5-billion-dollar national debt ceiling. Secretary of the Treasury Hum- phrey said on an NBC TV-radio show last night he will request a hike in the debt ceiling. but won't decide the amount until the legisla- tors finish work on the money bills that determine how much is likely to go into and out of Treasury coffers. Sen. George (D-Ga), senior Democrat on the finance group, said in an interview today . that members of his party were not un- animous on the tax bill. It would take a fairly solid bloc of Demo- crats to upset GOP ranks on this measure, especially since the Re- pul regain’ a 48-47 etige for the first time in a year today with the swearing in of E. D. Crippa, rene the late Sen. Hunt (D- yo), George declined. to predict the outcome of any Democratic move but said he thought there would be some Republican support for a tax reduction on individuals. Republi- can leaders, however, were con- ceding only the loss of Sen. Langer (R-ND), who has announced he favors such an.amendment. George is head of a group which wants an income tax cut either by an- increase “in personal exemp- tions or by a $20 tax credit to each taxpayer figured as the final step on his return, He said some of his supporters want him to pro- pose a $200 boost in exemptions, a 4%-million-dollar annual tax cut, but that he appeared to be leaning toward a $100 increase, which would: be a $2,400,000,000 annual reduction. A Democratic move for a $100 hike lost narrowly in <he House. Sen. Byrd (D-Va), second-rank- ing Democrat on the Finance Committee, is opposed to any of the amendments because of the un- balanced federal budget. He and a few others would like to strike out of the bill some of the principal reyenue-losing features supported by the administration. A third group of Democrats wants to eliminate from the bill some sections they ay aid chiefly the wealthy and big corporations. Sen. Douglas (D-Ill), for instance, | says he is concerned over a pro- vision for substantial relief to stockholders on their dividend in- Mt.
