A similar poll taken at q meet

Gen. Eisenhower has lost strength
These results came In the face
of an announcement by Gen.
Eisenhower that he is a Republi-

has said he will not participate

lures will run between $85 billion
and 500 billion annually by June /.
1858. The President said this
would produce a deficit of nearly
$16 billion unless vigorous ac-
ton" is taken.
The Presidents message was
based on the report of his
Council Of Economic Advisers.
and went to a Congress whose
leaders in both parties already
have served notice that there will
be no tax increase in this election
year.
Mr.. Truman suggested that the
additional revenue be obtained by
eliminating loopholes and special
privileges and by tax rate in
creases." He did not specify where
the last-named boosts should be
levied. In stating the minimum"
needs, Mr.. Truman asked for the
difference between the $40 billion
he sought in the last Congress.
and the $5.7 ultimately voted to
the accompaniment of Senate and
House assertions that the limit in
taxation had been reached.
Since the start OF the Korean
war. Congress has voted three tax
bills. adding SIS billion impost to
the revenue-raising structure. De.
spite that this years deficit is esti-
mated at So billion, with $40 bill
lion expenditures in prospect.
Stresses More Taxes.
The President, as usual, stressed
that more taxes are needed to curb
imitation and finance the expand
ing defense program, for which the
outlay was running at the rate Of
$45 billion annually, at the end Of
1951-a 100 per cent increase In
the past year.
At the same time, he said, the
military budget, which Congress
will get next week. "calls for
steady increases in military output
during the next Is months and for
a continuance at a. high level for
at least an additional II months" "
In this connection, he warned,
Congressional economy advocates
who already have been training
their sights on foreign military
and economic aid that ut would
be superf1cally easy-but disas-
trous-to reduce the defense strain
by torpedoing the defense effort"
A budget deficit. the President
said, Is "lesser hazard" than q
deficit in our national security
effort"
Year of Stress Seen.
While the message recounted
with satisfaction the continued
expansion Of the domestic econ
omy, which now finds about 81
million employed, only II million
idle, wages and profits high, and
the gross national output at the
$3.50 billion mark, 1t was stressed
that the coming year will be a
year of stress"
While "the overall level Of con-
sumer supplies, particularly food
and clothing, should remain at
least as high as last year." 1t
was explained, the defense pro-
gram will call for materials that
will cut down housing construc-
ton from the 1851 level Of IL
million units to about $4,000;
automobiles from 5.3 million to
less than four, and make corre-
spending cuts In household ap-
pliances. radio and television
sets. e
There can be no business as
usual, consumer enjoyments as
usual or Government programs
and services as usual" this year,
the President said.
Jobless Problem Cited.
He conceded too that "addi-
tional, defense-created unemploy-
ment in some local areas appear
inevitable" despite efforts to
cushion this situation by spread
ing Government contracts. Over.
