BY John w. Stepp

The Washington Board Of

costs Of running the city at a
level no higher than the STAT
million appropriation for the
current year.
Harry L. Merrick, board pres
ident, outlined this economy

stand as public hearings on the
record-breaking $185.5 million
budget estimates for 1855 opened
In the District Building Board
Room.
$48 Million Over '53 Budget.
The figure is $4.5 million high
er than the departmental esti-
mates made for the current fiscal
year and more than $48 million
above the fiscal 1853 appropria-
ton.
Noting these statistics, coupled
with the fact that District reve-
nues are leveling off, Mr.. Merrick
declared it is apparent" that
budgets will have to be drawn at
approximately the level at which
we are now operating"
This must be DONE" he said,
despite the generally acknowl-
edged need for extensive addi-
tions to our municipal plant to
effectively service the residents
and visitors of the city to bolster
it's economy"
Stresses Improvement Projects.
Mr.. Merrick placed heavy en-
phasis on the city's need for the
1892 million public works i'm
proYement proposal, now before
Congress. He said every effort
must be made to show Congress
the necessity of the program. But
until the massive Federal loan
and-grant project is approved by
the legislators-or until the Fed
eral payment, at least, is in
creased - the city heads must
practice every conservation
measure" Mr.. Merrick declared.
The board president called at
tention to repeated warnings by
public officials that the Districts
sources of tax income cannot be
expected to continue increasing.
At the same time, Mr.. Merrick
ruled out the likelihood of "con-
siderable" future increases in ex-
isting tax rates.
"The District has in force
practically every applicable form
of tax found in any Jurisdiction
:. and we do not believe in any
case that new or increased taxes
can be levied without damage to
the economic structure of the
District of Columbia" Mr.. Mer-
rick declared.
$3.50 Million Budget Urged.
Another plea for economy was
made by Hudson A. LaSalle,
president of the Manor Park
Citizens Association. Mr.. La
Sale said his organization favors
lowering the 1855 budget to $3.50
million, about SIT million less
than current appropriations.
Describing the present total
estimates as excessive" he de-
clared, IAN economy program

closely a statement by President
Eisenhower in Boston last night
that no tax is too great to be
borne in the face of the enemies
of freedom.
Calls for Sacrifices.
The President said nothing in
Boston about income and excess
profits taxes as such, but he
emphasized that no sacrifice for
defense-including taxes-would
be too burdenSome for the coun-
try.
After Secretary Humphrey
spoke, it was learned reliably
that his remarks to the bankers
had been cleared with Mr.. Eisen-
hover. The administration source
reporting the clearance declared
there is no conflict between the
statements of the President and
the Secretary. The source said
other taxes would be sought to
make up the loss of revenue, if
required for defense.
Officials estimate that elirnina-
tion of the excess profits levy
and the 10 per cent cut in in
come taxes would cost the Gov
ernment $5.5 billion a year.
AS President Eisenhower en-
tered Constitution Hall this
morning to appear before the
bankers, he received a thunder
Gus ovation, with whistles and
cheers added to the applause.
Benson Outlines Policy.
Still another administration
speaker addressed a section
meeting of ABA. Secretary of
Agriculture Benson told a group
that the administration farm
policy is against undue depend
ence on public assistance"
Secretary Humphreys state
ment stressed the need, in the
light of the Russian threat, to
exercise caution in cutting
taxes and defense spending. He
said there is a ''real possibility
of an atomic Pearl Harbor
hanging directly over our
heads"
The Soviet threat has caused
speculation that the scheduled
tax reductions might not take
place, and that there might be
some new form of taxation to
raise defense money. One levy
under consideration is a Fed
eral sales tax but Senator
George, of Georgia, said earlier
today that he does not believe
the Eisenhower administration
will recommend such a tax.
In his brief talk to the bankers
today, President Eisenhower
promised his administration will
not "sit in an ivory tower" and
issue orders.
AS the President came on the
stage the crowd which occupied
every one of the $500 seats stood
and applauded. There were
cheers and whistles.
Bankers Work Praised.
The President thanked the
bankers for what he described
as their splendid work in selling

Plan InfiltratiOn

VIENNA - (NC) - The Hun
garian communist regime has es-
tablished two indoctrination CEN
ters to train youths to become fu-
ture pro-communist priests, accord
ing to reports reaching here.
The two centers are located in
monasteries confiscated by the re-
gime. One is in the former Bene-
dictine monastery at Esztergom
and the other at the former mon
astery of the Piarist Fathers at
Nagykanizsa.
Promising young communist stu
dents are encouraged to enter the
training centers and promised that
they will later be given an oppor-
tunity to infiltrate the Catholic
seminaries, the reports state. The
courses at the indoctrination cen
ters are given by pro-communist
priests and are aimed at teaching
the students how Christian doc
trine can be twisted to suit COM
munist purposes.
Repeatedly it is the hope of the
communists that after enough of
these students have infiltrated the
priesthood the Hungarian people
can be alienated from their deep
religious convictions.
