President Eisenhower carefully
rehearsed his tax speech over q
CLOSED" television circuit before
he went on the air last night.
The rehearsal about As minutes
in advance Of the Nation wide
telecast was directed by TV pro-
ducer and Hollywood actor. Rob-
ert Montgomery, who has been
serving as technical consultant
at the White House.
The rehearsal was transmitted
from the broadcast room in the
White House basement to a mo-
bile unit in a truck outside the
building.
Presidential aides watched
from the mobile unit. Mr.. Mont
gomery stayed with the Presi-
dent. as he did during the actual
telecaSt.
After the rehearsal the aides
offered few suggestions to Gen.
Eisenhower and he made some
of his own. One aide, for ex-
ample, noticed that the Presi-
dents coat kept riding up too
high. So he unbuttoned it and
the problem was solved.
During the rehearsal, Gen.
Eisenhower underlined parts of
his text which he wanted to en-
phasize. He also made minor
changes.

Now, this evening must
not overlook those among us
who are professionally faint
hearted. They have been ar
guing lately that we are on
the very brink Of economic
disaster. Viewing with gloom
is only to be expected in the
spring Of an election year. The
truth is, we do not have a
depression. And what's more,

again, your Government will
continue to use its full powers
to make sure that we don't
have one.

since to change my mind.
Some unemployment has de-
veloped in different parts of
the country. but the Nation as
a whole continues to be pros
porous. Unemployment has
reached about the level it was
in the spring of 1850. The
broad program I have proposed

More Tax Cuts Would
Bring Bigger Deficits

Every dollar spent by the
Government must be paid for
either by taxes or by more
borrowing with greater debt.
To make large additional saw
ings in the cost of Govern
ment at this moment means
seriously weakening our ma
tional defense. / do not know
any friend OF the United
States who wants that. under
present world conditions. The
only other way to make more
tax cuts now is to have bigger
and bigger deficits and to
borrow more and more mon
ey. Either We or our children
will have to bear the burden
of this debt. This is one kind
of chicken that always comes

OF course, every one wants

we have already made possible

tons do not call for an emer@
gency program that would JUS

additional tax reductions at
this time.
MY friends, q century and q

still larger debts to our chill
dren.
Some have suggested raising
personal income tax exemp-
tons from $500 to $500, and
soon to 81 900, even though the
Federal budget is not in bal
ance. You've seen this kind Of
deal before. It looks good on
the surface but it looks q lot
different when you dig into it.
The $1,000 exemption would
excuse one taxpayer In every
three from all Federal income
taxes. The share of that one
third would have to be paid by
the other two thirds.
I think this is wrong. / am
for everybody paying his fair
share.
When the time comes to cut
income taxes still more. let's
cut them. But I do not believe
that the way to do it is to ex-
cuse millions of Americans
from paying any income tax at
all.
The good American doesn't
ask for favored position or
treatment. Naturally he wants
all fellow citizens to pay their
fair share of the taxes. and he
wants every cent collected to
be spent wisely and economi-
cally. But every real American
is proud to carry his share Of
the burden. In war and peace,
I have seen countless examples
Of American pride and of the
unassuming but inspiring cour-
age Of young American citi-
zens. I simply don't believe
for one second that any one
privileged to live in this coun-
try wants some one else to pay
his own fair and just share OF
the cost of his Government.
Aside from that. let's just
be practical. The loss of reve-
nue. involved in this proposal
would be a serious blow to
your Government.
A 500 increase In the ex-
emption would cost the Gov
eminent $2.5 billion. To in
crease the personal exemption
to $1,000 would cost So billion.
This. of course, would be on
top of the large tax cuts our
savings have already made
possible this year.
In your interest I must and
will oppose such an unsound
tax proposal. I most earnestly
hope that it will be rejected by
the Congress. I hope you feel
the same.

Following Is the teri OF a

hoiDer deliDered to a yGdio-TV
audience last night I'M support
of the administrations tar
plans:
Good evening. I would like
to talk with you tonight about
something that concerns each
Of us personally and directly
especially on March is. want
TO talk about our taxes--and
about the new tax program
that the Congress will debate
this week.
Now ] can talk only about a
few essential facts in this pro-
gram because, my friends, this
900-page book is the new tax
program. and this 500-page
book is the explanation made
by the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House of Repre-
SentativeS to the House re-
garding this bill. You and I
tonight will be discussing only
a very few of the items.
We recognize. of course. that
taxes are necessary. We know
that through taxes our Gov
eminent gets the money to
carry on its necessary func-
tons. The most costly is de-
tense.
Only at our peril may we
pursue a penny wise. pound
foolish policy in regard to the
Nations security. In the past
year. we have been able to
make real savings in defense
costs. But despite these saw
ings, 10 cents out of each
dollar spent by your Govern
ment still go for defense pur-
poses.
The remaining 30 cents 90
for many things-to meet our
obligations to veterans, to
carry on important activities
overseas, to pay the interest
on the gigantic public debt
and to do within our country
what Abraham Lincoln de-
scribed as those things which
the individual cannot do at all
or so well do for himself"

your taxes have been and con-
tinue to be. We are watching
every expenditure of Govern
ment-to eliminate waste, du-
plication and luxury. But while
We are insisting upon good
management and thrift in
Government. we have. at the
same time, asked the Congress
TO approve a great program to
build a stronger America for
all our people.
Thus:
We want to improve and
expand our social security pro-
gram.
We want a broader and
stronger system of unemploy-
ment insurance.
We want more and better
homes for our people.
We want to do away with
slums in our cities.
:. We want to foster a much
improved health program.
We want a better and a last
ing farm program, with better
reclamation and conservation.
We want an improved Taft-
Hartley Act to protect workers
and employers.
We want wider markets over
seas for our products.
We want-above all-maxi-
mum protection of freedom
and a strong and growing
economy - an economy free

Tax Plan Designed
TO Be Fair to All

= - - - = Sss ~ - -
Most Of these things cost
money. Without adequate
revenue. most Of them would
be abandoned or curtailed.
That is why our tax proposal
is the cornerstone of our whole
effort. It Is a tax plan de-
signed to be fair to all. am
sure you join me In the hope
that the Congress. before it
adiourns. will approve this en-
tire program.
Along with this great plan
for America. we want also to
reduce your taxes so you, can,
save or spend more Of your
own money, as you personally
desire.
Now. to reduce taxes, we
had to find some way OF saw
ing money, for despite many
years of heavy taxation. our
Government has been running
deeper and deeper into debt.
A year ago. this administra-
ton inherited q budget calling
for a spending program that
we have since reduced by $12
billion. OF this total saving.
81 billion is being made this
year.
Now 81 billion Is so much
money--even In Washington
that it's hard to know what
it really means. Let's see If
we can get some idea Of how
much it is.
The money American farm
ers got last year for all the
corn and all the wheat grown
in our entire country was 81
billion.
The money Americans paid
in all of last year for house.
hold utilities and for fuel
amounted to 81 billion.
The money Americans pay
each year for doctor. dentist,
medical and hospital bills is
81 billion.
I think you will agree that
we have. indeed. saved a lot
of money. Without these saw
ings. there could have been
no tax relief for any one. Be-
cause of these savings, your
tax cuts were possible.
On January l this year,
your taxes were cut by SIS bill
lion. The tax-revision pro-
gram now in Congress will
cut taxes by over SIS billion
more. The total may be nearly
ST billion. Thus the Govern
ment is turning back to you
about all that we expect to save
this year. Meanwhile, We are
seeing to 1t that the Govern
ment deficit. instead Of grow
ing. may continue to shrink.
Now, In the light Of all this,

Page Brownen told the American Uni

Brownen told the American Uni
versity graduating class here last
night that "our system of govern
ment" cannot survive If any per-
SON is allowed to set himself
above the laws of the land" or if
one branch of the government is
able to "usurp powers of another
branch"
Brownen did not name McCar-
thy, but the language he used was
similar to that he employed In a
statement issued at the White
House recently taking issue with
McCarthy's claim to the right to
receive secret information.
Mccarthy has contended that as
chairman of the Government Oper-
atlonS Committee he has the duty
to ferret out wrongdoing and is
authorized to receive secret infor-
nation about it.
Brownen said yesterday that
while every citizen must assume
the burden of preserving "our
form of government, that does not
require return to the vigilantes
of the frontier"
There were indications that when
the hearings do end, the Demo-
cratic members of the subcommit-
tee will join in a report likely to
be highly critical of Mccarthy and
Cohn. 1t may also criticize Stew
ems and take a crack at Repub-
hcanS generally for the squabble.
Republicans have shown some
signs they will not be too tough on
either Mccarthy or Stevens, but
will be inclined to stress that
there has been a misunderstanding
which should not be allowed to
interfere with the work of roofing
out Communists where they can
be found.

Clellan said in an interview, "but
the disagreements and the partisan

DEMOS FAIL TO BACK FLANDERS
IN MOVE TO CUT JOE'S POWER
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON IA hands-off
policy adopted by the Senate DEM
ocratic leadership today apparent
~ all but doomed a move by Sen.
Flanders (R-Vt) to strip Sen. Nc
Carthy (R-Wis) of his investigat-
ing chairmanships.
Sen. Knowland of California. the
Republican leader, has already
made it abundantIy clear that
as a representative of the COP
administration - he does not want
to move against Mccarthy IN the
way Flanders suggested on the
tloor of the Senate last Friday.
However, remaining key fac
tor, in a Senate where Democrats
actually outnumber Republicans
4S-47, was the attitude to be taken
by members of the minority
party.
While Sen. Lyndon B. johnson
OF Texas, the Democratic leader,
would make no public statement
on the issue, he was reliably re-
ported today to have told party
colleagues he regards Mccarthy
as a Republican problem.
Apparently Johnson is advising
Democrats not to give any encour-
agement to Flanders, who has said
he will move by mid-July for ac-
ton on a motion to strip Mccarthy
Of his craftsmanship unless the
Wisconsin senator answers ques-
tons raised in 1852 by a Senate
elections subcommittee about his
financial affairs.
The. Flanders motion, which
could be called up by any senator
at any time, would remove Nc
Carthy as chairman of the Gov
eminent Operations Committee, as
well as head of its Investigations
subcommittee. Such a step is rare
In Senate history.
Mccarthy termed Flanders crit
icism of him a "smear" and said
the Vermont senator may be
senile.
So ia only one senator - Cooper
Of Kentucky, Republican has
publicly lined up behind Flanders
move.
Sen. Hennings of Missouri,
Democrat, yesterday issued what
was regarded as an attack on Nc
Carthy in a speech criticizing "out-
rageous conduct of ga public of
fetal" He declared at Valley
Forge, Pa:
THE American people can no
