strong indications that 1T will
run. not $25 billion. but $35 or sac
billion for the three-year period. >
The Georgian said that, even
if Congress meets the administra-
tons goal of $40 billion in new
taxes, the Government would still
face sizable deficit for the three
year period. He made it clear he
was not predicting $40 billion
tax bill, and said that if foreign
aid programs are not cut. the
deficit over the next three years
would be measured almost entirely
by the amount of foreign aid.
Fears Blow To Taxpayer.
Senator George called that a
Staggering fact" and added that
if taxes were raised high enough

would so reduce the income of

Although the Georgia Senator

BY a coincidence, Senators
George and Connally will have a

! MARLY, France, Aug. 1.-THE
cost of building a military bull

be tremendous.
The people of America-and of
our European Allies-must face
that fact now, and stand up to it.
For the cost of not doing it

be incomparably greater.

Britain 10 Hand Iran
Definite Plan Today
For Settling Oil Crisi!
BY the Associoted Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Aug. IL
British -Iranian oil talks neared
the crucial stage tonight with the
announcement by British nego-
tiator Richard Stokes that he
would present a definite proposal
tomorrow for joint operation OF
the oil fields.
Earlier, there were signs that a
hitch had developed in the week
long negotiations. A subcommit-
tee of negotiators, scheduled to
discuss a temporary arrangement
to get oil shipments resumed
postponed its meeting.
w. Averell Hartman, President
Truman's special envoy who has
remained aloof from develop
ments all week, also conferred
with the Shah and Premier Mo-
manned Mossadegh in an ap-
parent move to speed up the talks
These developments followed the
return to Teheran OF Husseir
Makki. firebrand nationalist who
has been directing efforts at Aba
dan to carry out Trans law ma
tionalizing the British-controlled
Anglo -Iranian Oil Co. He fiercely
declared that agreement would be
possible only on the basis of the
nine point law of last May which
kicks AIOC completely out OF the
country.
Mr.. Stokes indicated to news
men that Britain is still holding
out for management of the world s
biggest refinery at Abadan, which
has been shut down in the nation
alization row.
However. he indicated Iranians
would be given some sort of voice
in deciding policy on production
and refining and that the name o1
the Anglo -Iranian Oil Co. would
disappear. AIOC has been loudly
accused by the nationa1istS of in
Iterfering in Trans governmental
and internal affairs.
