u. S. POPULATION
WILL SOON PASS
165-MILLION MARK
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
The Census Bureau said
yesterday the population of
the United States increased
by about 25 million in the 10
years since Victory Day in
Europe, May 8. l945.
In May, 1945, the popula-
ton including the armed
forces overseas was nearing
the l40 million mark.
The bureau estimated the
figure at 164,865,000 today
and expected 1t to go over
the 165 million mark by the
end Of the month.

many. which the Soviet Union
claims makes the friendship
treaties ineffective.
The Soviet Union has been
threatening since December to
scrap these mutual assistance
treaties if the Paris pacts to free
and rearm West Germany were
ratified and became effective.
Final steps in the ratification
process we're taken this week.

cancellations would have any
influence on Western policy.

May Be Premature

This hustle of preparation may
turn out to be a bit premature.
1t would seem to depend entirely
on how successful the French
are in selling their latest plan
for saving Wet Nam" to their
British and American colleagues.
This plan as widely leaked in the
French press today. includes the
return of Bao Dai and the volun-
tary surrender of much of his
authority to a committee of
popular leaders large enough to
include representatives of all
major disputing factions. This
government would be in turn
supported by legislative coun-
Gil whose main job would be to
lay ground rules for the election
of papular National Assembly
French apparently have high
hopes that this formula worked
out with Bao Dai'S representa-
tives here will be Endorsed by
other members of the Big Three.
Bars U. S. Support
In this they may be disap-
pointed. While the Americans
were getting their breath, in
formed American sources said
Mr.. Dulles was determined to
withhold United States support
for the French solution in Indo-
China. Moreover, it was said. Mr..
Dulles has no intention of seeing
Bao Dai, and it may be that the
United States will have nothing
to do with any solution involving
him.
All this points up. one gathers.
to a natural wariness about
French-made solutions in the
do-China situation. And there
is also an understandable reluc-
tance when it comes to under
writing dramatic decisions which
may prove extremely difficult to
put into effect.

AT Tax Cut and
End Of Deficit
PorIey On Business
At Hot Springs Gets
Hopeful indication
By STERLING F. GREEN
Associated Press staff Writer


HOT SPRINGS, Va, May T.
Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey repeatedly has given busi.
ness leaders reason to hope fol
both tax cuts and a balanced
Federal budget next year-the
fiscal 1857 budget due next
January.
Mr.. Humphrey spoke to the
Business Advisory Council of the
Commerce Department at it:
spring meeting here. The session
was closed but some of those at
tending gave newsmen a partia,
account.
The Secretary qualified his op.
timism with "all kinds of ifs,
one informant said. but based il
on the upsurge of business &C.
tivity which-if continued-wil
increase income and corporate
tax revenues.
Another industry participant
said that Mr.. Humphrey spoke
only in general terms but that
he-the member-Was convinced
that the administration will
send up a balanced budget in
January"
The council itself, made up of
about 100 heads of country's
largest corporations gave Mr..
Humphrey reason for satisfac-
ton about the prospects for Fed
eral revenues"
Bright Outlook Cited
The councils own technical
economic committee, headed by
Donald K. David. dean of the
Harvard Graduate School of
Business Administration, pre-
dicted that high-level business
activity will continue through
1855 and into 1856.
MI. David's report noted, how
ever, that too rapid expansion
can become an abortive boom"
and that the highly favorable
economic prospects could be
dimmed if over-enthusiasm is
translated into an -expan-
sion of credit.
Spokesman for every major
segment of industry gave bullish
reports on the business outlook.
Some saw 1855 as the all-time
record year for national pro-
duction and income. Members
who were willing to discuss Mr..
Humphreys remarks privately
said they gathered that he is
confident the upswing will be
maintained and hopeful that it
will be strong enough to wipe
out the Federal deficit in the
year starting in mid-l956.
Hope for Balanced Budget
This would permit President
Eisenhower to send Congress next
January-at the start of an elec-
tion year-the balanced budget
which has been a major goal OF
the Republican administration.
Tax relief for individual and
corporate tax payers is expected
in 1856. Both the adminiStra-
ton and the Democratic COM
mand of Congress will be court
ing voter favor and Mr.. Eisen-
hower's budget message in jan
uary said Federal cost cutting
plus a healthy economy may
Justify tax reduction next year.
That budget message was it.
self a bet on rising economic
activity. Its estimate that Fed
eral revenues would total 1921
billion was based on calculations
that personal income this calen-
dar year would rise 4 per cent
above 1854 and that corporate
profits would increase by Z pei
cent.
Besides Mr.. Humphrey, Gov
ernment officials at the ses-
sions included Attorney General
Brownell, Undersecretary of Com
merce Walter Williams, Chair.
man Arthur F. Burns of the
Presidents Council of EconpmiC
Advisers, and other ranking ad-

1t was a return engagement
for the former President of
France and Nine. Vincent

greeted Washington society at
a party given yesterday by the
French Ambassador and Nine.

With the same charm that
endeared the Auriols to Capt.

for the party Nine. Couve de

with the keys to the city.
This time I couldn't give them
another key, but at least had
the pleasure of giving Nine.

The Auriols. whose visit
this time is semiofficial. since
he is here on behalf of the

were accompanied by Mr..
Jacques Kosczuisko Morizet,
former chef de cabinet to Mr..

Auriol on sightseeing expe-

coming here.

Nine. Kosczuisko- Morizet. The

Kilroy has nothing on Davy
Crockett.
At yesterdays birthday re-
ception given by the Ambas-
sador Of Canada and Mrs.
Heeney to honor her Britannia
Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, it
was learned that Americas
famed frontlersman is giving
the Canadian mounties more
than a little competition.
In short, Davy Crockett has
captured the kids in Canada
as well as on this side of the
border.
The inside story, according
to one Canadian diplomat, is
that the mounties are in no
real danger of losing out to
Davy. A kind of flash in the
pan" popularity. he believes.
Meanwhile. the person who
stole the show at yesterdays
garden party was not Davy
Crockett but Royal Canadian
Mountie Frank E. Holbrook
who stood in relocated splen-
dor and directed guests toward
the receiving line.
Cowboy Competition
Under questioning. Consta-
BILE Holbrook admitted that
his biggest competition is Roy
Rogers.
He has no such trouble with
the youngsters of Canadian
staff members. After all. it's a
known fact that every Cana
dian boy at some point in his
life dreams of becoming a
mountie.
Holbrook, who Joined the
Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice in 1919, says his 6-year-
old American grandson some
how prefers cowboys.
The British Ambassador and
Lady Makins, who are giving
a party Of their own to cele-
brate the Queens birthday on
June 8. we're among the many
diplomats at yesterdays 6 to 8
gathering.
Granted there are some
women who would just as
leave forget birthdays. But
Queen Elizabeth rates no such
feminine prerogative.
Throughout the Common
wealth, her majesty chalks up
five birthdays-none OF which
is actually her own.
The truth of the matter. &C
cording to Mr.. Robert Far
quharson, former Canadian
managing editor turned diplo-
mat, is that royal birthdays
are expendable."

or the case of the missing
DFC-is a saga of persistence
worthy of the Royal Mounted

Actually, the mounties had
nothing to do with tracking
down Canadian Second Sec
rotary D. R. Taylor in Wash
ington.
In 1914 Mr.. Taylor was
awarded the DFC for wartime
bravery. For II years the
government has been trying to
catch up with Mr.. Taylor long
enough to hand over the deco
ration.
They finally made it a few
weeks ago.
Saga of DFC
According to the hero-in-
waiting, he was in Torquay. on
the south coast of England. in
1914 and couldn't go to Lon
don to pocket the decoration.
In l947 the DFC waited in
Ottawa. He was busy going to
school in Saskatchewan.
II couldn't afford to go to
Ottawa" he said.
In 1949 Mr.. Taylor was hard
at university work in Ontario.
He got word that his DFC was
you guessed tin Saskat-
chewan. Again he couldn't af-
ford to get it.
About this time the govern
ment lost track of Mr.. Taylor
until they picked up his trail
in Washington.
The DFC is currently in safe
hands. Mr.. Taylor's proud
9-year-old son Craig has ap-
pointed himself keeper of the
wartime prize.
