Cannot Stop
 Spending; Must Have More Taxes

KEY WEST, Fla. (P)-President Truman said yesterday that treas ury and Congressional staff ex- perts are making studies to deter mine whether wartime excise taxes can be repealed.
 Tn. a surprise vacation news con- ference, the President declined to say whether he will ask new taxes of Congress.
 However, he said it was always his aim to balance the budget.
 Reminded that he had told a news conference in Washington recently that he knew of no way to wipe out a deficit other than by raising taxes, he was asked if he still felt that way.
 He said the whole matter was under consideration by a treasury committee of experts and by staff members for the House ways and means committee. He said they were working tremendously.
 Walking into the press room on the navy's bachelor officers quar- ters here, the President suddenly went into press conference on which he gave no advance warn ing. Some of the reporters were in their pajamas.
 A recent statement by secretary of commerce Sawyer suggesting elimination of wartime excise taxes to aid business was called to his attention. Asked if he agreed with Sawyer's proposals, he said the question was under considera- tion by the experts.
 The matter will be covered in the budget message, he said.
 Budget director Frank Pace said last week he saw no way to balance the 1851 fiscal year bud get without new taxes.
 Did the President plan to ask new taxes?
 That will have to be covered in the budget message that goes to Congress in January, he replied.
 Would the budget be balanced?
 It has always been his aim to have balanced budget. MT. Tru- man said.
