The lord mayor, Alderman

we're made for the coming Of

to do anything about 1t. It was
suggested that the statue should

Budget and Tax Cutting
Drive Seen Slowing Up

Congressional cutting of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's budget reached
a reappraisal stage today as
some influential House and Sem
ate members sought to put
spending and tax reduction pros
poets in more realistic focus.
The reappraisal in various
quarters was precautionary
rather than agonizing. 1t APP
|parently did not slow down the
legislators determination to trim
the $71.8 billion budget esti-
mates by So or 81 billion for the
coming fiscal year. But it indi-
Gated growing support for the
Presidents fiscal proposals and
less emphatic predictions Of a
tax cut bill at this time.
Representative Mills. Democrat
of Arkansas. a top-ranking mem
Der of the tax-writing Ways and
Means Committee. said the 81. a
billion in appropriation bill cuts
already voted by the House
probably would reduce actual
spending only about $3.50 million
in the 1858 fiscal year.
Sees No Tax Cut Hope
at is a terrible thing" he de-
clared, that people have gotten
the idea that these cuts in ap-
preparations will justify a re-
duction in taxes. So far these
cuts will have very little effect
on spending F"
Speaker Rayburn, talking with
reporters yesterday, seemed
somewhat less optimistic than
he has been recently that Con-
gress will pass q tax reduction
bin. He held to his earlier pre-
dictions. however, that the
chances Of a tax cut are good
for next year. But instead Of
passing a bill this summer for a
cut to take effect next January
4, Congress may wait until early
in 1858 to enact such q measure
and make it retroactive to jan
uary /. Mr.. Rayburn said.
The Speakers comments. while
mainly an elaboration on what
he has been saying for some time
took on added interest because
of a possibility that President
Eisenhower might veto a tax cut
bill now.

De1enSe secretary wilson SAID
today that this would be an

situation remains unchanged.
He testified before the Senate

'of Virginia, recalled that Mr..
Wilson last year strongly criti-
cized Senators who voted for a
5000 million increase in Air
Force funds. describing that ac-
Ition as 'phony."
Denies DIRTY Politics"
He then charged that the Sec
|retary not only spent that $500
million but also spent an addi-
tional 50 billion for Defense after
the fall elections.
Senator Robertson asserted
that Mr.. Wilson's comments
caused him and other Senators
on the committee to be accused
of playing dirty politics"
In reply the Secretary denied
engaging in any politics last
year and he added that the
Senator was confused" in his
figures on defense spending.
AS to mis- wisecrack last year
about the additional money not
being needed. Mr.. Wilson said
today:
Il just threw out an old shoe
and 1t happened to hit some
feet"
Won't "Force Money"
/ In the exchange. Senator
Robertson told Mr.. Wilson .'the
Secretary can be sure that the
Senator from Virginia is not
going to force more money on
him this year than he says he
needs and can use"
1 Mr.. Wilson said there had
been no change in world condi-
tons on which downward spend
ing could be measured, and he
recalled that efforts are being
made currently to bring about
international disarmament.
This would be an awful time
to take the cards and chips away

ter Dulles and Harold Stassen

game" he declared.

disarmament adviser, represents

to authorize the District to bor-
row up to $40 million so as r.

This was softened somewhat
by q declaration from Chairman
Pastore that the Commissioners
have the overall responsibility
for financing the city's whole
program and that they were
confronted with the fact that
there is only so much antici-
pated revenue to cover a multi
tude Of needs.
Points 10 insufficient Funds
He suggested that probably
no one In authority would want
to cut any proposed expenditure
for any established need If there
was sufficient money to 60

at least one Of them said she
still thought the school boards
