speak of Surpluses. they generally
are referring to the administrative
budget.
The administration, led by Mr..
Eisenhower and Treasury Secretary
George Humphrey. has said many
times since January that reduction
OF the $276, 533 10000 national
debt must take precedence over
any tax cut, and most of the tax
experts in Congress agree.
Those congressman most con-
cerned with fiscal matters argue
that tax reduction should not be
considered unless the surplus
amounts to 81 billion or more, a
prospect regarded by many as
highly unlikely. The actual size
will depend a great deal on the
amount OF corporation taxes coll
lected on June 15-Internal Reve-
nue. workers are still opening en-
velopes containing these payments
and the total will not be known for
some weeks, though an estimate
may be coming through soon.
Others Less Conservative
But despite this conservative view,
tax cut does not necessarily de-
pend on 81 billion surplus. There
is considerable pressure from sew
eral quarters to give the taxpayer
a break this year if the surplus goes
above Sis billion.
Foremost reason for this pressure
is the present state Of business.
There are a number of soft spots.
notably in autos. agriculture and
housing. If a large number of
Congressman become convinced
that the last half of 1855 will see
the present slackening in the econ
omy widening into q recession, a
tax-cut move in Congress would be
hard to stop. The reasoning would

PARIS = The French effort in
North Africa, though beginning to
pay dividends in a military sense,
threatens to put the country in a
serious economic squeeze.
The effects will not be felt imme-
diately. But statisticians who have
studied the impact of recalling
100000 young French men for mill
tary service are predicting strong
new inflationary pressures within a
few months time.
The reason is that a large pro-
portion of the recalled draftees
come from ranks of industrial la
Dor This labor force of about 8.4
million is already inadequate to
meet the needs Of an expanding
economy. The new drain, If 1t con-
tinues long, will create serious
labor crisis. especially in certain key
industries such as mining, where the
shortage is already acute.

geared to the official cost Of living
index by escalrtor clauses on the
American pattern. A one per cent
cost-of-living increase brings an
equal automatic increase in wages.
Rigging the Scale
The authorities, up to this point,
have shown extraordinary ingenu-
lty in rigging the index to conceal
rises in actual living costs. In the
cases of domestic coal, for instance.
only one kind has been selected for
the purposes of the cost-of- living in
dex. And while the cost of all other
kinds Of coal have gone sky-high.
this one special variety has stayed
the same. The only trouble is that
the particular kind Of coal is hardly
ever available on the market.
Even this kind Of statistical
fakery. however, has its limitations.
In the present circumstances, the
experts are predicting that the line
Of living costs cannot be held in
definitely, and that the infiationary
spiral. once 1t starts. will be hard TO
control.

A FAYoRITE TOPIC
BY DAVID KOONCE

Despite President Eisenhower's
Arm opposition to tax reduction
this year, softening of the econ
omy in several areas, an improved
Federal fiscal picture and election
year politics have combined TO
prime some members of Congress
with tax-cut ideas. In fact, close
observers of Capitol Hill will be
surprised If a serious tax-cut drive
doesn't get started sometime soon.
On May 4. Representative Daniel
Reed of New York. the Republican
Party'S chief Congressional spokes-
man on tax matters, called for a
general reduction in levies on in
dividual incomes when the budget
permits" Five days previously,
Representative Wilbur Mills Of Ar
kansas, second-ranking Democrat
on the House Ways and Means
Committee, made a similar sug-
gestion. Since then tax-cut talk
has been confined mostly to whis-
pers in the cloakroom, but 1t is still
going on.
Most members are waiting with
fingers crossed until sometime after
next Saturday. the last day of
fiscal 1856. After that date, the
Treasury will know where the coun-
try stands money-wise for the year.
Already there have been a number
Of estimates Of the probable size
Of the first surplus Of the Eisen-
hover Administration. On May II,
the Treasury estimated that the
surplus would be Sl8 billion, Treas
ury officials questioned the S2.3
billion estimate of Congress- Joint
Committee on Internal Taxation,
saying it was too high.

turn out TO be higher than either

Of Algerians, who provide a major
part Of Frances unskilled labor
force, are leaving the country to
return to Algeria
Inevitably, say the experts, the
effect Of this shortage Of labor will
be to reduce production. The slack
can be taken up for a time by in
creased imports at the expense of
Frances foreign exchange position,
but this is no permanent solution.
Stability in Danger
AS long as production increases
in proportion to the demand for
goods, imitation can be kept under
control. Price increases in France
in the last few years have been
relatively small. But this encour-
aging situation cannot be long main
tanned under present conditions.
If production falls significantly
at a time when a shortage Of labor
encourages higher wage demands
las seems probable-the over az
cost OF living would be expected to
rise steeply. Minimum wage scales

of these estimates. however. Con-
gressional fiscal experts now gen.
orally agree that Uncle Sam can
expect about SIS billion on the
black side of the ledger at the end
Of the fiscal year-over ten times
the January estimate of President
Eisenhower of $3.50 million surplus.
These figures all apply to the adj
ministrative budget. rather than to
the cash budget, where there al
ready exists surplus Of well over
81 billion
The cash budget includes re-

Government trust funds, which

tive budget. But when tax-cutters

ing spending power.
Although administration empha-
sis is heavily on debt reduction
rather than tax relief, Congress
wouldn't be setting any presidents
in attempting to reverse that en-
phasis. In 1854 there was deficit
OF So billion. Also. the entire House
and one-third of the Senate was up
for reelection that year, as they
are this year. And a determined
tax-cut drive started in early 1854
came very close to success. 1t lost
by only six votes in the House and
three votes in the Senate, and then
only after Mr.. Eisenhower took to
television with a personal state
ment of his opposition.
Wotchful Waiting
Now, in an election year again,
each party is watching the other
cautiously. Each wants to make
certain that If the tax-cut ball
starts rolling, the other party isn't
the one that gives it its first shove.
Early last week, Secretary
Humphrey made it plain that the
administration hadn't changed its
views one iota. He recommended.
and the House Ways and Means
Committee Immediately backed him,
that the limit on the public debt
be trimmed SO billion--from 1921
billion to 1918 billion. House pas
sage followed on Thursday. This,
presumably, would earmark for debt
reduction the first So billion Of any
surplus, If indeed that much is
available.
But it's still an election year,

and - In the Senate are ct stake.
