StuIemute Does Not Warrant
Defense letup, Official Says

Assistant Air Force Secretary
Trevor Gardner said today the
United States and Russia have
moved dramatically" toward a
condition of nuclear neutraliza-
ton or military stalemate.
But he warned that condition
did not mean there could be any
letup in the military setup.
Speaking before the National
Security Industrial Association
at the Sheraton Carlton Hotel,
the Air Force Research and De-
velopment chief declared.
THE difficult thing for the
public to realize about this set
of conditions is that 1t generates
a more dynamic set Of military
needs than has existed before
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-08

and these needs must be salts
fied-otherwise we will have to
accept indefinite insecurity as
our lot. We must use the time
implicit in a military stalemate
situation to Dramatically mod
ernize our forces and develop
new weapons through research
and development"
He went on to state that the
public should not be confused
by individuals who argue a
period of Stalemate is a period
in which Air Force reductions
can be brought about.
He also warned against in
dividuals who believe that a
period Of stalemate will so on
indefinitely.

partment. Mr.. Davidson con-
tended that economic facts and
numerous studies demonstrate
that Mr.. Ruttenberg is clearly
wrong in taking a stand against
relief from the discriminatory
income tax rates and in favor OF
a further narrowing of the base
of the individual tax"
The NAM official declared the
tax policy should not be used las
a means for manipulating the
economy or deliberately to in
fluence the course of economic
events" He recommended that
Congress give first priority to re-
duce the income taxes, which
he said have furnishing and
discouraging effects on economic
incentives and risk-taking."
Emerson P. Schmidt, manager
of the economic research depart
ment of the Chamber of Com
merce. took issue with Mr.. Rut-
tenberg's thesis by claiming that
very few economists agree that
"our economy is no longer capi-
tai formation oriented."
Seeks Higher Bracket Cut
He asked that Congress put
considerable emphasis" on cut
ting personal income taxes in
the middle and upper brackets,
that the corporate income tax
rate be trimmed from the pres
ent So per cent to about Al per
cent and that part of any cut
be in the form of reduction of
the national debt.
Herbert Stein, CED associate
director of research, called at
tention to the report of his Or
ganization earlier this week re-
lating to a possible tax cut of
IS 10 "a DILLON next year.
I'VE should not be deferred
from reducing taxes that repress
investment by fear that the re-
suit will be inadequate markets
for the product of investment, "
he said. There is a difference
of opinion between reducing
corporate taxes and upper brack-
ct income taxes. on the one
hand, and, for example, raising
income tax exemptions. In my
opinion the second view is in
correct"

On Tax-Cut Chances
Meets With
Humphrey
And Wilson
By CECIL HOLLAND
Star stan Correspondent

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Dec. B.
President Eisenhower and his top
defense and fiscal advisers con-
ferred here today on what app
peared to be a last-ditch effort
to cut spending further and pave
the way for an election year tax
cut.
The problem confronting Mr..
Eisenhower seemed to be this:
The administration is coma.
dent it will be able to balance
the budget by next June 80. but
rising defense and other costs,
unless further cuts in spending
are made, will rule out any tax
reduction.
Another factor may be that
cuts will be necessary to keep the
budget in balance in the fiscal
year starting next July /.
Tax cuts especially for "the
little man" is goal devoutly
to be wished in the upcoming
presidential election year.
Late Change Of Plans
In a late change of plans Mr..
Eisenhower, who came here for
conference with his top mill
tary and diplomatic strategistS,
also conferred with Secretary Of
the Treasury Humphrey. Defense
Secretary Wilson and Budget
Director Rowland Hughes in q
meeting starting at 9 am.
Before entering the meeting,
Mr.. Humphrey said again he
thought we're going to balance
the budget"
He was asked If that view
takes into consideration indica-
tons of increased defense spend
ing.
Il don't give a damn what the
indications are" Mr.. Humphrey
replied. Il think we're going to
balance the budget"
Asked II this meant tax cut.
mr.. Humphrey replied:
u think I've gone long way
out on the limb already, don't
Iyou?"
No Comment on Taxes
| Mr.. Humphrey was pressed to
say something on taxes but
refused.
mo. not now" he said, adding
that Mr.. Eisenhower would have
something to say on the subject
in his message to Congress in
January on the State of the
Union.
After the meeting in the Presi-
dents cottage, Mr.. Humphrey
and Mr.. Wilson walked together
to Laurel Cottage for the Council
meeting.
/ Mr.. Humphrey had no further
comment but Mr.. Wilson smil-
ingly told reporters:

/ Asked if there was any change
in defense estimates of a budget
of about S35 billion, Mr.. Wilson
said:

quick"
! Bars Deficit Cuts
Mr.. Humphrey has insisted
there should be no tax cuts at
the expense of further deficit
financing.

to the council meeting. MIR.
