A deep and fundamental riff
over foreign policy confronted
the country today over President
Truman's assertion he will con.
suit Congress before sending more
American troops to Europe-but
won't be bound by it.
Mr.. Truman's statements were
made at his news conference latt
yesterday after Chairman Con.
nally of the Senate Foreign Rela.
tions Committee touched off {
full-scale foreign policy debate
with a plea for unity behind ar
all-out effort to defend Western
Europe.
The President reiterated tha'
he has authority to send more
land troops to Europe and intend:
to use it. He added that he will
consult with the leaders of the
Foreign Relations and Armee
Services Committees of Congress.

If the lawmakers want to &C

of restriction, the President de-
clared. he is willing. He went on
to say that he had licked them
once before-an obvious reference
to his attacks on the Republican,
controlled 80th Congress in the
1948 presidential campaign.
Neither Senator Taft nor Sena-

conference of all Senate Repub-

he would consult.

@. How much pay would the
18-year-old get?
A. During the initial training
period. $50 q month. Then they
would get the regular recruit pay.

however. their dependents would
get the same as dependents of
regular recruits.
@. Are there any other changes

policy.
In that post he would be over
Mr.. Valentine. There was no
immediate comment available
from either Mr.. Johnston or Mr..
Valentine
Mr.. Wilson's reference in his
speech to past delays presumably
was aimed at the Economic
Sterilization Agency's lack of a
staff to administer and enforce a
freeze or price ceilings. That
reason was given last week for
rejection of a plan drawn up by
Mr.. Di Sale for a 30-day price
freeze.
viii Set Up Regional Offices.
However, the agency under Mr.
Valentine and Mr.. Di Sale is
adding personnel rapidly. A
spokesman said that it would set
up 13 regional Offices over the
country next week.
1t was understood that the
price-wage freeze under consider
alton now would last indefinitely
until individual price ceilings
can be worked out and adjust
ments made on an industry by
industry basis.
The Wage Sterilization Board
already is working out formulas
for control of wages and salaries.
Under the plan all pay would be
frozen until the board, headed by
Cyrus S. Ching. could complete
arrangements for adjustments of
pay inequities.
The board is planning to allow
increases in pay of those workers
whose wages have trailed the
National average.
Consumer RatiOning Hinted.
Mr.. Wilson limited that con-
sumner rationing would be imposed
after price controls in order to as
sure fair and even distribution of
goods. But officials indicated that
rationing probably was still some
months away.

Budget Cuts, Broader
Tax Program Gaining
Favor in Congress
By Cecil HoIIond

A twin undertaking to balance
the Federal budget by drastically
trimming President Truman's re-
quested outlay of $71 ,594 900 ,00C
and broad expansion of excise
and other taxes apparently was
developing in Congress today.
/ Developments bearing on the
budget and tax questions in
cluded:
/. An influential member of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, who asked that his name not
be used. forecast a broad expan-
sion of excise taxes-including ar
increase, perhaps, from SO to $12
a gallon on liquor.
2. A movement appeared under
way to delay action on a new tax
bill until vote on the Presidents Is
budget to see how much, if any
it can be trimmed.
3. President Truman, at hi.
news conference today, sidestep-
ped the question of whether he
will seek a national sales taz
in his effort to put the country
on a "pay-as-you-go" basis.
4. The Council of State Cham
bers of Commerce criticized the
proposed budget as Governments
business as usual" and contin-
uation of Fair Deal schemes" in
the guise of defense.
Excise List Must Be Expanded.
President Truman, in his budget
message this week, asked for more
than SIG billion in new taxes to
bring revenue up to proposed ex-
penditures in the fiscal year be-
ginning next July l.
The House Ways and Means
Committee member said the excise
tax list must be greatly expanded
If anything approaching SIG bill
lion if new taxes can be raised
Whisky and tobacco are the
main sources. of excise revenue.
The present list also contains
many so-called luxury items such
as jewelry, cosmetics, luggage,
furs and movie tickets.
In addition to expansion of the
excise levieS. reduction in per-
sonal exemptions from $500 to
$500, higher rates on individual
incomes. broadening of corpora
ton taxes including the excess
profits levy and plugging loop
holes in the present tax laws were
seen as possible steps to raise
additional revenue.
Agency "Jockeying" Cited.
Views of the Council of State
Chambers of Commerce were pre-
sented in its annual review of the
Presidents budget. 1t found
threats to the economy effort in
what it called "the jockeying" of
numerous Federal peacetime
agencies to obtain national de-
fense status.
The Presidents budget mes
sage, the review said. makes it
clear that the Government intends
to go right on doing many of the
things that should oe curtailed or
postponed.
1t listed six major Fair Deal
schemes" that were urged in the
name of defense: g. further
naturalization of electric power,
Federal aid to education, extend
ing Federal subsidizations and
control of agriculture. imposing a
system of socialiZed medicine,
expansion of Government-o owned
industrial production. and in
