Means Committee voting 81 to
4 for q reduction Of the per-
sonal income tax, 1t isn't likely
that any steps will be taken to
retain the xcess-proflts tax by
affirmative legislation unless
the President exertS his in
fiuence successfully by press
ing Congress more than seems
possible at the moment.
The truth Of the matter Is
that the President 10 as eager
for tax reduction as ANYBODY
In either house. But he just
doesn't want to say anything
explicit on the subject, at this
time, because he doesn't know
how soon the facts on the
balancing Of the budget will
be available. It really Is an
unfortunate handicap which
a new administration under
goes. It hasn't been in ofice
a month but Is being prodded
to say when and how the
budget can be balanced, and It
doesn't even know yet the ac-
tual extent Of the unobligated
but appropriated funds that
are available from past years.
This Is q complicated Job Of
ferreting out detail which
takes time to complete.
A good sample Is the mu-
tual security assistance fund.
The Truman budget calls for
$7.6 billion. But the "un-
obligated" funds amount TO
more than 81 billion. and the
''unexpended" balances from
foreign aid Of other years is in
excess Of SIS billion. Here is a
chance for savings or at least
diminished expenditures on the
cash side. There are several
other items of the same kind in
other departments Of the Gov
ernment-running up to a
total Of more than 500 billion
Of "unobligated" and "un-
expended" balances - which
could furnish savings in the
coming fiscal year that begins
July /.
The chances are that the ad-
ministration will focus atten-
ton on what Is called the
"cash" budget-the actual in

had assembled information
about the issue. A visiting
friend and Government Off
cial from Washington who saw
Gov. Stevenson the day before
the Shivers' visit found to his
surprise when he talked to the
Democratic candidate that he
did not intend merely to listen
to the Texas Governor and de-
lay his own decision, which is
the usual routine. No, Gov.
Stevenson had made up his
mind, had prepared his own
views, and would give them to
the Texas Governor when he
talked with the latter.
II have made up my mind,
and I think the best thing to
do is to tell him to his face"
he said.
Which he did, along with o
statement to the press.
What happened after that
Is history. Gov. ShiverS
promptly came out in support
Of Gen. Eisenhower, who pre-
viouSly had indicated his stand
for State control. Oil, which
had been active in the pre-
nomination campaign for Gen.
Eisenhower. now began really
to shoot the works. It dumped
great wads Of money into the
campaign, particularly In
TexaS-no one will ever know
how much. But it paid off
handsomely. Gov. Stevenson
lost two Of the States with
stakes in the offshore oil is

barely squeaked by In Louisi-

tiresome from the press point
Of view was that he insisted
upon passing the brieflng
along, a little matter reporters
do for themselves daily. Mr..
Eisenhower Is utterly unterri-
fled Of the obvious: indeed, his
devotion to it is a hair shirt
the politics-saturated press
must apparently wear.
It was the more CALLING yes
terday because it constituted an
effective filibuster, consuming
more than half q conference
period deliberately limited to
80 minutes. Thus the ques-
tioning was confined to topics
chosen by the President and
also cut OF arbitrarily.
This Is perhaps q technique
justif1able while Mr.. EiSen-
hover Is new to his great Of
fee; 1t cannot be satisfactory
to reporters. He was concilia-
tory about it. promising to
make changes dictated by ex-
perience.
Mr.. Eisenhower was briefly
testy when reminded Of an
Adlai Stevenson Quip about
"the Big Deal";; humor is not
his strong point at best. Other
wise the celebrated temper was
nowhere in evidence; indeed
he appeared relaxed. and the
equally celebrated sincerity
shone through his tribute to

Douglas Discounts
Rumors He'll Quit
Bench This Year
Ry Robert K. WoIsh

Justice Douglas said yesterday
that rumors about his possible
resignation from the Supreme
Court are completely un-
founded"
He authorized that statement
when asked about recurrent re-
ports he might leave the bench
this year. Such reports concern
ing him as well as Justice Frank
furter had persisted despite be-
lief of Justice Department off,
cials and others that the tribunal
will go through it's 1953-54 term
without designations or retire
ments.
Justice Douglas will be SIS years
old Thursday and has served on
the court since April, 1889.
No Signs of Retirement.
Justice F'rankfurter, who will
be II on November Is, is the only
member eligible to retire under
the law applying at the age OF
10 and providing for continuance
of full salary for life. He has
provided no evidence-much less
any direct testimony-that he
intends to take advantage of the
retirement provision. Friends say
they see no signs that he plans
to step down in the near future
When he became 70 last No
vember it was recalled that in
the mid-1930s he supported
President Roosevelt's idea that
the Supreme Court had not only
too much of a horse-and-buggy
atmosphere but also too much
age.
But he is as active as ever on
the bench and in his opinion
writing and has given no indi-
cation he thinks it is time fol-
a change in his case. In any
event, the Massachusetts prede-
cessor to whom he frequently re-
fers, the late Justice Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, remained on the
court for % years and to the
age Of 30.
Birthdays Coming Up.
Justice Douglas is among eight

birthday anniversaries between

Scientists Believe They
Have Found Key To
Changes Brought by Aging
BY ALTON L. BLAKESLEE

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Vitamin
B-6 may be key to preventing
hardening of arteries, or slowing
down the wearying changes Of
aging, scientist finds.
The evidence comes from mon
keys, fed only chemical pill diets
in which one or another vitamin
or essential chemical was missing
If they didn't get vitamin B-6,
pyridoxine, the monkeys in six
to Is months developed signs like
those of hardening of human ar
teries. The walls of the arteries
thickened.
The monkeys grew old more
quickly. Their hair grayed and
lost lustre, said doctors James F.
Rinehart and L. D. Greenbarg,
pathologists Of the University Of
California Hospital.
If the BIZ was added to their
food soon enough, the signs Of
artery hardening cleared up. Civ
ing BIG didn't make their gray
hair turn back again to youthful
color, though.
DR.. Rinehart is studying the
possibility that human hardening
Of arteries may come either from
too little BE-, or some error or
inefficiency in the way that hu-
man bodies may use the vitamin
Hardening and too-quick aging
might come from some such fault.
His tests on humans or animals
do not show that taking vitamin
B-6 could cure hardening. But it
might be slowed down or pre-
vented if tests could show which
people were possibly not getting
enough Vitamin, or were not MAX
ing the right use Of it over the
years.
Beans and peas are rich in B-6.
Meat gives it to you, too, as well
as other foods, Dr.. Rinehart said.
