the President emphasized his
administrators intention to
keep pressing for economies that
can be translated into lower
taxes.
The economies in this new
spending program are made pos
sible largely by a proposed $3.8
billion cut in national security
funds. putting the next years
outlay at $44.9 billion.
Gen. Eisenhower insisted, how.
ever. that the Nation will get
better protection for less money
under his revised defense pro-
gram. geared to advances in the
nuclear and aviation fields.
Sees S62.7 Billion Income.
The President estimated next
years revenues. at 1927 billion,
which ill leave the Government
with a deficit of only $2.9 billion
on June 80, 1855. But he made
plain that this close approach
to a balanced budget Is contin-
gent on the retention Of some
1913 billion in corporate income
and excise taxes, now scheduled
to expire April I.
At the same time, Gen. Essen
hover renewed his request for a
boost in the debt limit. In the
last session Of Congress, the adj
ministration sought to establish
the ceiling at $3.50 billion instead
Of the present $27S billion. But
the legislation was pigeon-holed
IN the Senate.
Today's budget, message in
cluded q 25-poil.t tax revision
program, designed largely to give
a lift to small business and the
small individual. The Presidents
proposals along this line would
amount to $1.3 billion tax cut
for the Nations taxpayers.
The budget falls broadly into
three headings: National secu-
rity. $40 billion: fixed charges.
including $6.8 billion interest on
the public debt, Sal billion. and
all other governmental expenses.
$50 billion.
In addition to the $3.s billion
security cut. a SIS billion reduc-
ton was squeezed from the "all
other" category. The fixed"
charges, Of course, remained APP
proximately unchanged.
Called a flight" Budget.
Administration officials believe
this is a tight" budget. Budget
Director Dodge made this clear
when he explained the figures to
reporters in advance of their
presentation to Congress.
Asked what would happen if
Congress attempted to close the
prospective $2.9-billion gap be-
tween income and outgo by
further economies. Mr.. Dodge
responded:
MY own Judgment is that If
Congress attempts literally to
balance the budget. it will be at
the expense Of essential actfVi-
ties of the Government"
Gen. Eisenhower's budget
would require 1858 billion in new
obligational authority. In his
message the Chief Executive

Tax Law Revision
To Trim S1.3 Billion
Asked by President
Congress Is Urged to
Continue Corporation
Levy Rute Another Yeo,
By Robert K. Welsh

A 25-point tax revision pro-
gram-trimming an estimated
81 3 billion from the Nations tax
bill in the next fiscal year-was
proposed today by President
Eisenhower.
At the same time, the Chief
Executive told Congress in his
budget message that this is all
the tax cutting Uncle Sam can
afford at present.
Deficit Is Noted.
He noted an estimated $2.9
billion deficit in fiscal 1855. He
also noted that the January 1
cut of 10 per cent in personal
income taxes and the expiration
Of the excess profits levy is al
ready reducing Treasury reve-
nues by IS billion.
To bolster the budget, Gen.
Eisenhower urged Congress to
continue for another year the
So per cent corporation income
tax rate that otherwise will drop
to Al per cent on April /. He
called for like handling Of ex-
cises due to decline that day
on liquor. tobacco. automobiles
and gasoline. Such an extension
would enable the Government to
retain $2.3 billion in revenue.
Favorable Reception Seen.
Congress seemed likely to give
a favorable reception to most of
the IS proposed revisions. Many
of them have been or probably
will be voted by the House Ways
and Means Committee in draft
ing a comprehensive tax code
bill to be sent to the House by
March l.
But Committee Chairman Reed
opposes continuation of the
taxes scheduled to go down April
/. and he is backed by strong
forces in both parties in
Congress.
Emphasis on the proposed tax
revisions indicated an admins
tration decision that some form
Of tax relief was more important
than balanced budget during
an election year. The $1.3 billion
that the Government would lose
from these tax changes during
the coming fiscal year, and an
estimated So billion during
the year following, represented
amounts that might have
brought the budget considerably
closer to a balance.
Not Giving Up.

gresS to authorize a long term

gram which the Capital City
needs to become worthy of our

At the same time, the Presi-.
dent sent to Congress a District
budget stripped of many essen
tial construction projects for the
next fiscal year. The budget pro-
videS that the construction
money can be requested later,
after Congress acts on the works
program.
The District Commissioners
sent their detailed 10-year,
$685. million works program to
Capitol Hill yesterday. Chair
man Simpson of the House Dis
trict Committee Immediately in
troduced an authorizing bill. on
which joint House-Senate hear
ings will begin Tuesday.
In supporting the vast pro-
gram through a formula of in
creased taxes. Federal loans and
direct Federal contribution, Mr..
Eisenhower stressed that it. for
the first time in many years,
would put Federal payments on
a level commensurate with the
Federal interest in Washington.
Sees Urgent Need.
He declared in his budget mes
sage:
Il strongly recommend enact
ment of legislation to finance
the expanded public works con-
struction urgently needed in the
National Capital.
This legislation would au-.
thorize an increase of 50 million
in the Federal payment to the
general fund of the District OF
Columbia, and an additional 81
million for full payment for ali
water and related services. 1t
would authorize $107 million OF
additional Understanding loans
to the District over the next
decade, of which an estimated
SIS million would be spent in the
fiscal year 1855.
These expenditures by the
Federal Government would be
accompanied by substantial in
creases in taxes paid by Dis
trict taxpayers. This legislation
would, for the first time in re-
cent years, place Federal pay
ments to the District govern
ment on a level commensurate
with the Federal Governments
position in and its demands upon
the District.
1T would permit the District
to start long-term program of
public works necessary to make
the Capital City worthy of our
great Nation
$50 Million Payment.
The SO million annual Federal
payment increase would bring
that total to $40 million. New
taxes on District residents would
amount to about $9.4 million in
the. next fiscal year. The new
Federal loans would include $50
million for the highway fund,
$40 million for the general fund,
S. million for sewers and a $12
million increase in water fund
loans.

Navy Estimates Red Sub Fleet At More Than 400

WASHINGTON, tR--The Navy today estimated Russian subma- rine strength at more than 400-a figure a half hundred higher than the Navy has used for several years.
 Rear Admiral w. c. Schindler, asst. chief of naval operations, disclosed the new estimate in pie turing "chaos" he said could re- suit if a Russian submarine pene- trated an American harbor filled with war shipping. "Think what would happen if the explosive were nuclear weapon, The said.
 He said also that American sub- marines could approach an enemy coast and launch missiles which may contain atomic warheads."
 Schindler said in his prepared speech before an Armed Forces Chemical Assn. meeting that in the event of war i've must as- sune that an enemy will use some form of fchemical-biological-radio- logical warfare" and he urged the American people to practice now in the use of equipment that he said will be essential for survival in a time of disaster.

25% Income Tax
 Allowance Urged Again for Alaskans

SKAGWAY, Alaska, R-Skag- ways Central Labor Council has made a second appeal to the com- missioner of internal revenue for a 25 percent federal income tax allowance for Alaskans.
 The appeal was made on the grounds that all Alaskans should get the allowance that federal em- ployes in the territory get by the tax exemption on their 25 percent cost of living allowance.
 Council President Cyril A. Coyne acknowledged a letter from an internal revenue official which reported the referral of the appeal to the undersecretary of the Treasury. But he called to Com missioner T. Coleman Andrews attention that a report from an- other source indicated the under secretary had poured cold water on the whole idea on the ground that the proposal would set up discrimination between groups of private employees. Coyne denied that it would.
 He suggested that government officials come north for trial run of frying ham at S16O a pound, bacon at S1.1O and eggs at $1.1O a dozen. He asked that the under secretary take another look at the proposal and see if he couldn't refer it to Congress in a favorable light.

 They have been under constant heavy mortar attack and machine gun fire for nearly a fortnight. The defenders are outnumbered about six to one.
 French fighters and bombers are heavily hitting the besieging Communicated rebels. Planes have dropped scores of 1,000-pound delayed action bombs timed to ex- plode to kill rebels when they launch infantry assaults nightly.

Prisoner Being
 Sentenced Found Hiding Weapon

ANCHORAGE, R - Face to face with the man he crippled for life, 21-year-old Joe Under wood was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison-a sentence he had made futile plans to avoid.
 His plan, in fact, may cost him additional prison time.
 Underwood was convicted for the shooting last July 31 of Wm. D. Pfalmer, an Anchorage patrol man, during a stolen car chase. Pfalmer's spinal column was shat tered by shot fired by Under wood.
 While in the crowded federal court room of Judge George w.. Folta, the U. s. Marshal noticed Underwood was sitting funny" in his seat. As precaution, he double handcuffed the tall, red haired prisoner with his hands behind his back, then led him back to the new federal jail a block away.
 There, Underwood was search ed and a 2-inch.ir iron bar, IS inches long, was found beneath the pri- soner's shirt. The bar apparently had been taken from bed in the prison where Underwood had been awaiting trial.
 Underwood took another trip. This time to the court of U. s. Commissioner Gordon Hartleib where he was charged with pos session of an instrument capable of killing a federal penal officer
