Ridgway's Office Sees
Hope for Armistice
By the Assoeiated Press

TOKYO, Sunday. Aug. 49,
Gen. Matthew B. Rigway's in
formation Office expressed hope
today the subcommittee talks on
a buffer zone for Korea might
soon lead to an armistice.
In one of the most optimistic
statements issued by the United
Nations command, the Office said
Perhaps the fact that such a
subconference was so readily
agreed to indicates that one agree
ment may lead to another.
IF this is so, it is to be hoped
that an actual armistice maye be
in sight.
"If the Communist purpose of
the whole peace conference is to
stall for time. the small sessions
will show 1t up plainly.
"If they intend to do business
as the free world hopes it is
possible that the new develop
ments may produce a reasonable
basis for concluding the con-

Douglas 10 Push Figh
For Budget SIashes
And Higher Taxes
Senate Leaders Agree
On Foreign Aid Cut
But Differ on Amount
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Douglas, Democrat, Of
Illinois, announced yesterday he
will fight in the Senate for higher
taxes and further cuts in Gov
ernment spending to keep the
Treasury out of the red next year
And Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee served
notice that he will try to cut an
other 81 billion out of the for
eign aid program when the bill
already reduced from $8.5 to $7.5
billion by the House reaches the
Senate this week.
Senator Douglas, who has been
in the forefront of the economy
drive, estimated it has saved SC
far this session about $3.5 billion,
including the 81 billion the Houss
cut from the foreign aid program
Friday night.
Sees Further Cuts Needed.
But the budgetbalancing job is
not complete, in his opinion. He
said Congress should shave an
other SIS billion from other
spending bills still in the works
to bring total savings to S. billion
Then, he believes, both houses
should agree on a tax bill of be-
tween ST and $40 billion Of new
revenue.
Senator Douglas said that with
out these steps the Government
would be heading toward a sig
billion deficit next year. counting
all appropriations that have been
asked for, plus expansion of the
Air Force, plus new military bases
and including cost of the Korean
War beyond June 80.
His summary of the fiscal situa-
ton came as:
The Senate Finance Committee
prepared to start voting early this
week on the $7.2 billion House
approved tax bill.
The Joint Senate Foreign Rela-
tions and Armed Services Commit

there have been forecasts the
Senate committee may bring out
