because the new administration
finds there is no prospect of bal
ancing the budget at this time
The public debt as of yesterday

Relations Committee on details
of the $5.8 billion foreign aid
authorization for next year.
Reporters were not admitted.
The testimony was relayed to
them by Chairman Wiley, who
quoted Mr.. Humphrey as saying
the debt increase will be caused
by temporary borrowing made
necessary by seasonal fuctu4-

additional long-range borrowing
made necessary by the budget

Officials Forecasts
Of Deficit Range
Up TO SIS Billion
Declare 1t Nay Be
$2.6 Billion Above
Trumon's Estimate
BY the Associated Press

Government officials said to-
day the Nation will go in the red
no less than $6.5 billion this
fiscal year and possibly as much
as $8.5 billions.
The most probable deficit
figure on June 80, say officials
whose jobs include watching the
Nations finances, is somewhere
between SIS to So billion.
Former President Truman es-
timated that the Government
would spend $50 billion more
than its income in the current,
1858, fiscal year. Specialists in
Government finance, therefore,
are estimating that the deficit
will be at least 5000 million more
than Mr.. Truman forecast, pos
sibly as much as $2.6 billion
and probably SIG to $2.1 billion.
Cost Up, Income Down.
Larger expenditures than ex-
pected for support of farm prices,
and lower revenues, especially
from corporation income taxes.
have boosted estimates of how
much more the Government will
spend than it takes in.
A bigger deficit means in
creased borrowing by the Gov
ernment, and a bigger national
debt at the end of the fiscal year,
now less than two months away.
May Reach Ceiling.
If the debt at the end of this
fiscal year is substantially big
ger than Mr.. Truman's $263.9
billion forecast, that would mean
it might run into the $275 billion
ceiling in the IL months begin
ming July l unless the new ad-
ministration is able to pare fiscal
1854 expenditures forecast by
Mr.. Truman or Congress lifts
the debt limit.
Government finance special
lists estimate that Government
income will run somewhere be-
tween $66 billion and $67.5 bill
lion instead of the $68.7 bill
lion predicted by Mr.. Truman.
The chief trouble, they say, is
that corporation profits were not
as high in calendar 1852 as they
were estimated.

have been asked for his reaction
and advice on the eight-point
plan-some provisions of which
are regarded by Washington as
unacceptable.
Firm decisions on the instruc-
tions to be given Gen. Clark will
not be made until his opinions
and the Communist proposals
have undergone further study.
Discussed at White House.
President Eisenhower discussed
the proposals at the White House
for 80 minutes late yesterday
with top officials, including Sec
retary of State Dulles and Sec
retary of Defense Wilson.
No announcement was made.
However, it was understood the
consensus was that some provi-
sions of the Red plan were un-
acceptable, but that further ne
gotiations could be carried on
with counter proposals.
Strong objection was apparent
to a provision under which two
European Communist countries,
CZechoslovakia and Poland, would
introduce troops into South
Korea.
Those two, along with Swift
zerland. Sweden and India, would
be members of neutral nations

of which would provide armed

Undesirable Provision.
Also considered undesirable is
a provision to submit to a pclit-
ical conference on a permanent
Korean settlement the fate of
prisoners of war who remained
determined not to return to their
homelands.
The United States has been
seeking an arrangement to as
sure such prisoners of release
from any detention in a reason
able time. If their futures had
to be decided by political con-
ference, they might conceivably
be held for a long period.
The United Nations holds
about 48.500 North Koreans and
Red Chinese POWs who have
been reported unwilling to re-
turn home. The Communists
have about 10000 captive allies,
including 5000 Americans, but
there has been no claim that any
of the $4,000 are unwilling to
go home.
Chairman Short of the House
Armed Services Committee said
the Communist proposals con-
tain a Trojan horse" and he
predicted the Eisenhower admin
istration will reject them. II
