President Eisenhower today
was preparing to lay his new
tax program before Congress
after telling the American people

year.

Nation wide radio audience that

said the country is called upon
to finance a military setup that
must be carefully planned and

haps indefinitely.
The President declared bluntly
that there can be no "taX saving
at the price of national security"
He limited at the possibility of
new taxes unless the world ten
sion eases. He saw nothing en-
couraging in RuSSia's attitude.
The program outlined by Gen.
Eisenhower faced a stiff fight in
Congress.
Would Keep Three Taxes.
Under the Presidents plan,
three present taxes would be
retained to help finance the de-
fense build-up, and two others
shelved under his program, as
follows:
l. Continuation for six months
of the excess profits tax on cor
porations, scheduled now to ex-
pire June 80. This would bring
in $500 million additional rev.
enue.
! 2. Repeal of the projected five
per cent cut in the regular in
come tax on corporations, sched-
uled to be effective April l, 1854.
This levy nets 81 billion annual

3. Deferring indefinitely the
excise tax reduction also sched-

British Ships
Hauled Reds,
Senators Hear
Mccarthy Unit Told
They Transported
Communist Troops
By Cecil HoiIond

The Senate Investigations SUBJ
committee today received testi-
mony from its associate counsel
that British-owned vessels had
transported Communist troops
along the China coast last year.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican

of Wisconsin, also received tes-
timony that 100 British flag yes
sells engaged in trade with Red
China in the first three and a
half months of this year.
The testimony aroused the in
dignation of members of the SUBJ
committee and led Senator Nc
Clellan, Democrat of Arkansas, to
suggest that British trade with
Communist China was offsetting
the contribution the British are
making in the Korean war.
Whose was it it, the United
States or the United Nations"
Senator Mcclellan demanded.
Some of us are beginning to
wonder about it,"
EiSenhOwer'S Views Sought.
Senator Symington, Democrat.
Of Missouri promptly demanded
that the subcommittee write
President Eisenhower and re
quest his views on the whole
East West trade issue.
Senator Mccarthy called Sem
ator Symingtons request "a good
idea" and announced he would
do it.
Senator Mccarthy said the
British trade more than offset
that country's contribution to
the Korean fighting. He de-
scribed as unbelievable and ur-
heard of in the history of the
world" that country would
permit ships owned by it's ma
tionals to carry Communist
troops "to kill their own soldiers
The testimony that aroused
the ire of the Senators was given
by Robert Kennedy. an associate
counsel and a brother of Sena-
tor Kennedy, Democrat, OF
Massachusetts. 1t seemed cer-
tain to widen the existing differ
enceS between the United States
and Great Britain over the
events in Korea.
Advised of the testimony, a
British Embassy spokesman re-
| leased the following statement:
while these accusations will
no doubt be considered in Lon
don, the Embassy wishes to en-
phasize that strict control on the
carriage of strategic materials to
China has been in effect for over
two years"
Consulting Foreign Office.
The Embassy said it was con-
sulting with the Foreign Office
in London, and hoped to be
in a position to make a more
complete statement shortly.
Mr.. Kennedy and Senator Nc
Carthy said two British-owned
companies in Hong Kong had
carried Communist troops.
Mr.. Kennedy identified only
one of the companies. He said it
was the Wheelock Marden Co.
and that the transportation OF
the Communist troops occurred
in 1852. He did not disclose the
actual date.
One of the Wheelock Marden
vessels, Mr.. Kennedy testified.
had been used in February. 1852,
by the Mutual Security Agency to
transport Government owned
goods. He identified this vessel
as the Charles Dickens.
Mr.. Kennedy also testified that
l62 different Western countries
flag vessels had engaged in trade
with Red China during the first
three months Of this year. In
addition to the British, he listed
them as:
