Byrd Says Slump
May Hit 6. 0. P: Plan
To Balance Budget
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia said today the Eisen-
hover administration may have
overestimated tax revenues by
making no allowances in its new
budget for any dips in business
in the next year.
Senator Byrd. q Senate FL
nance Committee member who
has worked closely in the past
with Treasury Secretary Hum
phrey and Budget Director Jo-
seph M. Dodge, said in an inter-
view he fears q ''leveling off,
process may take place in 1854
from the record high production
Of 1858.
I'm not predicting any de-
preston or recession" he de-
clared, "but this prosperity is
going to be difficult. to maintain
without dips"
Bigger Budget Foreseen.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
Of Minnesota, going farther than
Senator Byrd. last night accused
the budget makers of false as
sumptions" and said the deficit
for the fiscal year beginning
July /, instead of the figure of
less than So billion, predicted
by President Eisenhower. will
be more like 4 to Az billion"
Senator Humphrey, inter-
viewed on a Dumont television
show, listed among the assump-
tons he termed false:
That postal revenues will be
higher. that business activity will
continue at the 1853 level, that
corporation and excise taxes will
not be lowered and that the
Nation will not experience an
economic recession.
Humphrey Il Hopeful.
Secretary Humphrey, appear
ing on q NBC television pro-
gram. said he thought ''the prog
noSticators Of gloom are wrong
and there will be no recession.
He said he does not think the
budget can be balanced at this
time without cutting some vital
service"
AS for the possibility Congress
will go beyond the Presidents
recommendations in cutting
taxes, the Secretary said, II am
not looking for ways out of this
program. I think Congress will
come pretty close to adopting it
for u.s."
Gen. Eisenhower has estimated
tax revenues for the next fiscal
year at $50. 642. 600. 900. a figure
Senator Byrd said was predicated
on the assumption that business
viii hold to the record levels OF
1853.
From an influential admins
tration official it was learned
that all Of Gen. Eisenhower's top
fiscal experts are agreed there
is no business recession in sight.
The Presidents economic report
to Congress, scheduled for
Thursday, is expected to take
this view Of the situation.

Gee Officials Warn
By jones E. Roper

Agriculture Department off,
Gals warned today that the
Commodity Credit Corp. has
obligated all but about SIG mil
lion it is authorized to use to
support farm prices.
They told their story to the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
which is considering an emer-
gency bill to increase Gees hor-
rowing authority to SIS billion
from the present $6,750, 900 900.
Howard Gordon, president of
the CCC. and Agriculture De-
partment Budget Officer Robert
Beach testified that CCC funds
needed for crop support are run
ming far ahead of expectations
even for this year. They saw
the possibility that next year
they might have to ask for money
above the. $8.5 billion requested
now.
BOrrOws From Treasury.
CCC borrows funds from the
Treasury and UNDERWRITERS loans
from private banks. These funds
go to support the prices on farm
products, either through outright
purchases or. through loans to
farmers who put their commod-
tiles in storage.
Mr.. Beach estimated CCC has
borrowed 81 billion from the
Treasury and has underwritten
certificates of interest and in
dividual loans totaling more
than $2.6 billion. Another SIS
million is obligated on loans for
construction of storage facilities
for the commodities. Br. Beach
estimated only SIG million of
Gees borrowing authority was
unobligated. He said he was
unable to give exact figures be-
cause loans are being made in
5000 counties and it takes some
time for final figures to reach
Washington.

For Speedy Action
On Reciprocal Trade
BY J. A. 0'Leory

The Senate Finance Commit
tee prepared today to tackle the
reciprocal trade and social secur-
ity bills. after voting tentative
approval Of the big general tax
bill last night.
A straight one-year extension
Of the Presidents authority to
make reciprocal trade agree
ments was reported favorably
from the House Ways and Means
Committee in record time this
morning. The Rules Committee
will be asked this afternoon to
limit debate on the bill to four
hours and House leaders expect
to pass it late tomorrow.
: If this happens in the House.
the Senate Finance Committee
probably will report the trade
agreement program as recon-
mended by the Foreign Economic
Policy Commission.
The Senators will have to wait
a week for Colin F. STAN, tax
expert. to draft a report on the
many changes they have made in
the House version Of the 875-
page tax bill before they take a
final vote. sending it to the floor.
But in the meantime Chair
man Millikin. Republican, of
California said the committee
will press for fast action on a
one-year extension of the trade
agreements law.
Senator Millikin said the FL
nance Committee also will start
hearings on the House bill to
hberalize social security, while
waiting for the final draft Of the
tax bill.
Cuts Taxes STA Billion.
This Is the first complete re-
writing of the Federal tax code
since the turn of the century,
and the changes it makes will
cut taxes by at least $1.4 billion
in the first year, and consider
ably more later on.
For the coming year this
revenue loss is offset by $1.2

billion Of revenue to be obtained
by Q one.year extension of the
corporation tax rate at 50 per
cent. Unless this bill becomes
law. the corporate rate for 1854
will go back to ~ per cent.
Both the House and the Senate
Finance Committees are nov an
record for a variety Of tax con-
cessions to individuals, including:
A more liberal deduction for
medical expenses: q $500 deduc-
ton for working mothers to off,
set the cost Of having children
cared for; permission for teen
ayers to earn more than 5000
a year without being lost as an
exemption to their parents: ex-
cluding from taxation the first
$1,000 of retirement pay, less
social security benefits already
tax exempt; allowing farmers
to deduct the cost of soil-con-
servation expenses.
Democrats decided not to raise
in committee their move for
further individual tax relief by
raising the exemption of each
taxpayer and dependent from
5000 to $500, which would cost
the Treasury $4.5 billion. They
still may offer it in the Senate,
but whether they do or not is
apt to depend on the state of
world tension when the bill is
taken up about June 81.
Dividend Action OK'd.
The Senate committee also
has approved House action to
eliminate some of the double
taxation of dividends, which will
benefit 100000 corporation
stock owners when they file their
individual returns. For the first
year the bill exempts the first
$50 of dividend income, and al
lows a 5 per cent tax credit on
the remainder. Thereafter the
exemption would be 500 and thu
credit 10 per cent.
Senator George, Democrat. Of
Georgia failed in q move to
eliminate this relief for share
holders and substitute a general
tax cut of $40 for every taxpayer.
This motion may be renewed on
the floor instead Of the increased
personal exemption amendment.

I Counsel Joseph
BY Mary McGrory

Mr.. Welch came to Washing
ton to defend the Army. But he
had his finest hour defending a
friend.
In lighter moments, Mr.. Welch
has often said he was here "just
to ask a few questions"
And yesterday, he asked one
that went to the heart of the
matter, even If it no more bore
on the issues in the case than
the charges which provoked it.
He asked it Of Senator Nc
Carthy. in tones of shock and
outrage. twice. The question
was: Have you no sense Of de-
cency, Senator?"
Senator Mccarthy did not
answer Mr.. WEIGH. He went
rumbling along in his allega-
tions against a member of Mr..
Welch's Boston law firm.
The young mans former men,
bership in an organization which
the Attorney General has sought
to brand subversive was known
to Mr.. Welch. He explained this
was the factor that decided him
against allowing the young
mans participation in the case.
Vain Precaution.
It was a precaution, however,
that was taken in vain. Sem
ator Mccarthy, sitting one seat
away from Mr.. Welch, and gain
ing momentum with every word
accused Mr.. Welch of trying to
'"foist" the young man on the
committee. =
During the six stormy weeks
Of the hearings, Mr.. Welch has
borne Senator McCarthy's per-
sonal attacks on him with equa-
nimity and grace, sometimes
merely acknowledging them with
an interested nod.
But the Senator's attack on
Mr.. Welch's friend brought an
end to this silent liberation of
McCarthyism. It also brought
forth a display of eloquence and
indignation that rocked the eau.

about MIR. Welch's friend with

counsel Of the Mccarthy Com
mittee, Roy Cohn, who was then
on the witness stand.
Mr.. WEIGH and Mr.. Cohn had
had some barbed exchanges
about Mr.. COINS nightclub &C
tivitieS, but Mr.. Welch turned to
him with hand outstretched.
II did you no personal injury,
I think, Mr.. Cohn?" he asked.
And Mr.. Cohn shook his head
and said. "No, SIR"
Mr.. WEIGH returned to the de-
tense Of his absent friend. LET
us not assassinate this lad fur

enough. Have you no sense of

you left no sense Of decency?"

But Mr.. Mundt banged his gavel
